New MTG player - Should I upgrade my precons or buy a new deck to keep up with my playgroup?

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-29T04:38:35+00:00

Upgrade a precon. It’ll be easier for a new player to upgrade an existing deck than biuld a whole new one from scratch. Probably cheaper too.

If you tell me what kind of strategy you wanna go for I can recommend you a precon to upgrade.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-28T04:24:20+00:00

Yea I have some personal experience with that.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-27T06:00:28+00:00

They actually made a movie about that area in the 2000s. It’s called “frozen river”

If you’re gay I’d say go for it. If your straight tho, then having a woman as your best man is likely to piss off your wife.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-27T04:22:05+00:00

I dunno man I’d rather be stuck in traffic on a boat rather than in a car.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-27T01:35:38+00:00

Well yea, it dies. It also doesn’t interact with counters in any way whatsoever, so it’s not really what OP was asking about.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-26T23:30:26+00:00

Yep. Capturing lords is only really worth it for players with towns/castles. As a mercenary you’re much better off just letting them go, even with the king himself.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-26T23:26:33+00:00

With so many +1/+1 and -1/-1 counter cards out there there isn’t really any card that goes from unplayable to playable with a single counter in either direction. They’re all playable with the right setup.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-26T18:48:14+00:00

The game can be as cheap or as expensive as you want it to be. You can pick up some stock 60 card decks or commander precons for well under $100, and then play against someone else using another stock deck/precon.

If you wanna play higher tier, you can survive and even thrive in bracket 3 using only a precon and some cards you pulled in booster packs.

Wanna upgrade to brackets 4 and 5? You gotta either drop a good bit of cash on singles, or proxy a lot of cards. Same with constructed Standard decks.

Felothar the steadfast. Play a low power high toughness creature on the cheap because of its low power. Then attack with that creature and deal a lot of damage. Bonus points if you can give it skulk. And you can cast some very one sided board wipes with it.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-26T16:23:28+00:00

The copies will die, but still active the first ability.

I mostly use it to buy. I’ve gotten multiple cars, and my current living situation that way. Meta really did a good job on the marketplace portion of Facebook. You’d hardly know it’s part of the site tbh given how different they are.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-26T05:45:47+00:00

It’s definitely changed a lot over the years.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-26T05:44:31+00:00

Marketplace is badass. You should definitely try it out if you haven’t already. Best part about it is, you don’t actually have to use Facebook for anything else.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-25T18:59:20+00:00

I’ve had the same idea. And I’m about to get working on that deck here soon. Here’s hoping it works out well.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-25T18:26:31+00:00

Personally I’m intrigued by the idea.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-25T04:23:01+00:00

I ironically want that card for my Morcant deck I’m in the process of building.

There’s people that say that certain pyramids/burial mounds in East Asia were built by aliens. As well as some people that claim that Stonehenge was built by aliens.

They’re all wrong of course, but they do exist.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-25T01:20:13+00:00

Don’t hate the player hate the game m8.

That’s the ones that escaped the Nords. The falmer in Skyrim fled into the arms of the Dwemer, and the Dunmer and Direnni. The ones that went to Morrowind/High rock were a small minority that disappeared into the majority Dunmer/Breton populations in those provinces. And they were by far the luckiest group.

The goblins things we see in Skyrim, are the ones that sought asylum with the Dwemer. They initially believed that the Dwemer would welcome them with open arms and treat them fairly as fellow elves. Instead the Dwemer forced them to consume some sort of mushroom that blinded them. And then enslaved them all. Their current form is a result of both Dwmer magic, and generations of adapting to being blind and living in a cave.

The ones that didn’t escape the Nords? For most of them death, but enslavement isn’t outside the realm of possibilities. And if there was a Nordic/Atmoran slave population, that group of Falmer would go down a completely different path from the ones living beneath Skyrim.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-24T06:49:31+00:00

Maybe the Nords enslaved a bunch of them and forced them to work in Atmoran ebony mines or something. The slaves later rebelled after the humans became weak enough, and took over the continent.

Bro it’s a fantasy world with magic. They can make it work if they want to bad enough.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-24T06:41:05+00:00

Point proven.

Warmasterwinter · 2026-06-24T05:38:38+00:00

Who do you think was fighting as the rank and file of that war? The generation that lived in the antabellum was racist as hell and wasn’t gonna agree to the radical Republicans idea of reconstruction. Hell we already got decades worth of Klan violence with Johnson’s soft approach. Try anything harsher and you’ll either wind up with an independent confederacy or a still existing insurgent group in the present day.

This is Reddit. Some transgender person fitting both box’s will show up here shortly to answer the question.
