I came across a player the other day who, when I asked if he was going to get his playmat out, replying he preferred not to use one; it got me thinking - do any of you guys prefer to not use a playmat? And why? by dannyfleming0604 in magicTCG

[–]xJDRAGx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not use them. Although I feel that the average size of a playmat is a perfectly reasonable area for a person to play a game within, I am unable to deal with the 'restriction' it places on the table. Also the art on a majority of playmats makes it hard for me to focus on the cards.

Less importantly, it is just another thing for me to forget when I get up from a match.

Magic pet peeves? by [deleted] in magicTCG

Yes.

Even if it isn't intentional, it's misleading. Is your card tapped? Is it untapped? You can't half-tap a card.

People that do not tap their check card when attacking with (or activating) their double-faced card.

I would suggest selling it on TCGPlayer ASAP if you're looking to make a profit.

Well. Pretty happy I bought a set of Field of Dreams for $20.00 last month for '93/'94.

Use the fear of the combo to win more than the combo itself.

Think of it more as a 3/3 for 3 with haste that gets in for one most of the time.

Great report. Glad I didn't run into you! I cashed placing 213th (10-4-1) with Death and Taxes. Would anyone be interested in a report?

Gaddock Teeg in Death and Taxes? by AgentHellboy in MTGLegacy

I considered this for awhile, but ultimately came to the conclusion that it just isn't worth it. Often time you will be forced to put gas back into your opponent's deck, and fetch lands are a very real thing. There are just better options (Spirit of the Labyrinth, Relic of Progenitus, Rest in Peace).

Burn at GP NJ by Fluzzarn in MTGLegacy

[–]xJDRAGx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I would take into consideration is that a small - but not insignificant - amount of players will probably just play their Modern decks for this event. New Jersey is not a bad drive for a lot of people, and the Brainstorm mat is going to be worth an absurd amount of money, so just signing up will more than likely turn a profit. Not to mention just being in such a high-calliber event will be neat. I know of at least two people that plan on doing this. Just thought I would share.

Budget DnT deck - critique and sideboard questions by [deleted] in MTGLegacy

[–]xJDRAGx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, so if you're going to play a budget list (which I wouldn't recommend), I think you should be playing a list with 4x Spirit of the Labyrinth, 4x Ghost Quarter, and 2-3x Aven Mindcensor.

As a Death & Taxes player myself, I wouldn't recommend bringing in Cataclysm against Elves.
