Anyone intrested in playing this game? Recently I was giving Magic: Online but im an asshle and refuse to play online- so I downloaded Apprentice (http://www.dragonstudios.com/) which allows me to play against people online for free, with an unlimited selection of cards for my deck.

The deck I have recently rebuilt is the deck I won a tourniment 2 years ago for a $500 cash prize. (Though the key card needed to make the deck work isnt supported so its just a cheap set of goblins now)


If anyone is intrested in playing tell me here with an estimated time youll be on.

[Note] We can meet in the chat room if only i know what it was [/note]
[Note2] If you download the program get the Oracle upgrade[/note]

they made it into an online game  :o   why would they do that? you have to hold and smell the the cards in your hands feel the smoothness between your fingertips.  drool over the sexy demons.  you can't replace that with an online game.  now I got myself all worked up I have to go find my deck LOL

that is like replacing porn with little stick figures, it just isnt right.

I tried playing apprentice long ago. Didn't work with my computer.

I have a stack of actual cards sitting next to me right now.  It's not really fun if you customize your deck (i.e. buy or select every card from online, then make a deck), though.  <_<  

I've got my collection of over a thousand cards behind me, approximately two metres away, crammed into a white box (from a 6-way extension) with sticky tape holding it together and stopping them slipping out. :mellow:

I have sooo many older edition cards (pretty much all of them up to Odyssey), and more white cards (3-4 decks worth) than I know what to do with. LOL  

me never actually got around to puting a deck together.  I always used one of m brothers LOL

I had a cool white deck with circles of protection from everything (except artifacts).  I got it (and subsequent white decks) so good people wouldn't play me.  LOL  

Christ you people piss me off. You lost the point of the thread i need somone to play against. Not a spam conversation in a thread :P

LOL
circle of protection
i would probably have kicked your ass  :P
i had some pretty good decks , especially my black one was lethal  :P

Heh heh.

4xCircle of Protection: Black (1: Prevent all damage from a black source)
1xGreater Realm of Preservation (2: Prevent all damage from a black or red source)
1xAbsolute Grace (All creatures gain protection from black)
1xLight of Day (Black creatures cannot attack or block)
1xElephant Grass (Opponent must pay 2 per black attacking creature)
1xWhite Knight (2/2 Knight, first-strike, protection from black)
1xDuskrider Falcon (1/1 Falcon, flying, protection from black)
1xOrder of the White Shield (2/1 Knight, Protection from black)
2xWard of Lights (Enchanted creature gains protection from chosen colour)
1xPrismatic Ward (all damage from chosen colour to enchanted creature -> 0)
3xSeeker (Enchanted creature can only be blocked by white or artifact creatures)

Add in a few disenchants and healing salves, top up with a few more assorted creatures, then an appropriate amount of plains.

How would that do against your black deck? :P


/me considers going getting Apprentice and building the deck.

don't know the spelling anymore but neminyrals disk  :P
and you first have to be able to play those cards too  ;)
+ you wouldn't know on forehand it would be total black
it's easy to make a counter deck then eh

Bah, if you got it out at the right time, and I didn't have a disenchant available, then maybe. :P

the title is "magic the card game"  and we are all on topic here
 

there's no disenchant in your deck

PWNED!!!!!!!!!!!

+ ss you suck at making a deck

an enchantment to give all creatures protection of black while all of the creatures in your deck already have protection of black
enchantment that lets the creature only be blocked by white creatures,the protection of black does that already..

Cough.

Yes it does.

Not all of them do, and there's no guarantee of getting the protected creatures out before the enchantment

Yes, but again if I don't have protected creatures out by then, it's useful.


Best would be to have a deck with all creatures protected from black, but that requires enough good cards that have that.

i still think my deck woul win
maybe we should try it out some time   :ph34r:  

Meh, I'd say right now, except I'm busy, so you'll have to wait. :P

LOL,i still have to look how the darn thing works  :P

Yeah "ON THE INTERNET"

SS my deck would slaughter that.

lets get it on SS     :cool:  

*sends  last post to Ruggy* *cough*

And guess where it ended up...

BTW SS, you need a Sphere of Grace (any damage dealt to you from a black source is reduced by 2)  :D

Probably, yeah, 'specially if it aint a black deck.

Anyhow:
Drauka -> :but::fireball/l::asha'man/2::balefire/r: <- Daimao


On Tuesday that is, and assuming neither of you wimp out. :P

it's a deal
 

What time US central? And we playing Fast Mana or Slow mana?

Is that a new rule?
I quit magic around urza's saga or legacy

Um sometime in the afternoon? I'm 6 hours ahead, so anytime before 7pm your time, and preferably after 1pm your time would be good for me.

As for fast/slow mana - is that where you can put any amount number of land down per turn, or is something else?

one land/ turn

Yeah, that's what I'm used to, and that's what I'd want. Not sure if that's what he's referring to or not though.

i don't have a deck, so........


//cuts cards of SS, drauka, and daimao

I WIN!!!!! :D

Erm... I don't think their decks are compatible with each other.  :P  

Hm?

These are general rules as I was taught in the tournyment I went to. I played m slowmana deck at the fast mana tournyments and still placed well.

Slow mana is your draw one card per turn, and and delt Seven at start. 60 card max. And you can only play one mana per turn. 20 life start.

Fast mana is your draw two cards per turn, and are delt Nine at start. 120 card max. You can play as much land as you want per turn, for each land you play you draw a card from yuor deck. 40 life start. [Note: Card maxes depends on the tournyment and rules your playing under.]

SS: The deck I want to play against you is an experimental black fast mana deck at 60-80 cards, I'm still playing with it thats why the card number is unsure. But if you dont want to play fast mana tomarrow then I'll use my red deck.

[Edit] 3:30-4:00pm a good time for you? I dont get out of school till 3:30...heh... And lanair was refering to when you cut the cards and put them back togather after you shuffle. Funny if you caught it.


SS... What are the rules for one word posts? And what does it mean when there not even one word?  :P  :P  :P  :P [/Edit]

Thanks for showing me.  :rolleyes:

But this "slow mana" vs. "fast mana"... Is this (another) new thing in the game?  :miffed:  

I'm sorry, but this game--or rather the people who play it--scare me. I hang out in the college lounge a lot when I'm not in class or at work, and a lot of people in there play Magic.  And love it. With a passion. And, should you name *any* card, will tell you what it does, when it was released, what its worth is, how many are in print, what artist did the drawing, what company printed the card,  etc etc etc. They truly scare me, as Magic basically IS their life.  :unsure:  

hmm , some help would be appreciated as i can't seem to cast a sorcery    :blink:  

frag i completely understand u... but mebbe stay out of this discussion? ;)  

it's the same company for all the cards
and isn't it normal that people know a lot of their hobby...

Ah, that sounds simple enough. Not tried fast mana before, but I'd be willing to give it a try.


Nah, should be interesting... I'll go build an appropriate deck. The worst that could happen is I get comletely flattened, but at least I'll have an excuse if that happens. ;)


Yep, that's 9:30/10pm here, which is a good time for me.
[sets alarm so I don't forget/]


:mellow: *hums innocently*

Don't you just drag it onto the play area, resolve its effects then drag it into the graveyard?

As Daimao said, 'tis the same with many hobbies.

It isn't hard to learn things when you encounter them all the time...

apparently not as the effect doesn't happen

You have to perform the effect yourself, just like in a regular game - Apprentice is just a platform to play MtG on, it doesn't actually enforce rules/procedures.

the card lets me look at the cards in your hand  :/

There's a menu option at the top, "Show your hand" or something.

/me taps watch :P

(Yes, I know this is a double-post, but I'm bumping it for a reason :Þ)[/size]

gimme your ip m8  :)

It might be 81.168.32.78, or it might not be, but try that and see what happens. :)

guess it isn't

Hmmm. Wanna give me yours and see if it works the other way round?

81.164.115.251

or


192.168.2.5

4:01 :P whats going on... I need your IP SS

It'll be the top one - the bottom one is your LAN IP

Hmmm. Wondering if you have a firewall active?

It's ten minutes past according to the forum and all my clocks in the room. :P

IP is up above, though it might not be working. :|

i'm on a router
i opened the port 4747
but it seems i can only play when the other person is waiting for a call
i probably have to open other ports too or something
get on mirc so we can talk directly

Ok, going on IRC... KoC channel or other?

koc is fine

Yuo ahve to open a new game and click waiting for call. (It also gives the IP to call you that)


BTW my computer clock says its 4:04 so, bite me :P  

The IP on the waiting call bit is my internal LAN one though. :(

heh , get the right one then or we can't play

I'm using http://www.whatismyip.com (http://www.whatismyip.com) to get my ip...

Maybe try this one: 81.168.32.1

Well im assuming -and hoping- you clicked OK too, but call me, see if ti works "65.201.0.86"

hmm

tried 3 ips

none work   :(

Me and SS are 1/1

Ended 2/1 to Drauka. Good games though. :)

:/
i want to pwn SS

Yeah. We'll have to figure out how to get past the router poo.

Unless someone wants to re-write Apprentice so that it works from a central server?

SS, did you find my black deck unique? Sorry I had to kill you that last turn... I would have deck drawed my self to death if I hadn't.
 

Unique in that I've never seen an entirely spell-based deck... even the burn/counter decks I've played with/against have had some creatures/artifacts/enchantments. :mellow:

But it worked :). And with that deck I'm now 7/0

Got time for another round? (I'll play wiht my red deck, 80 cards, eitehr fast or slow doesnt matter)

Would love to play, but I don't have cards, and don't know how.   :hehe:  

I'm just curious how you can play online--namely, how you build decks, etc. They can't just have a site where you just pick--"i have  this and this and this"--or people would just pick all the awesome cards and build all-powerful decks. Do you have to only play with cards you actually have copies of? How can you prove what you have and what you dont?  :blink:  

you download a prog which has all the cards
look @ first post

The problem with that being that no cards are all-powerful, and every deck can be countered if you know its contents & what you're doing.

but there are definitely certain cards that everyone drools over, correct? I'm guessing as best I can from what I've seen and heard of my Magic-playing friends. So that's actually it? You can pick any cards you want? I'm surprised it works out.

There are some better cards, yeah, but generally they require high casting costs, if you are lucky enough to get them out.

Some people will build entire decks based around getting a certain card or set of cards into play that play really well and win them the game, but getting a deck to do this requires intelligence, getting the cards in the right order requires luck, and surviving long enough to get the card(s) into play requires skill.

Plus, what happens if two beings with almost infinite power have a fight - just think of most films: you end up with an awesome battle. :D

I have a green deck that I thought was unbeatable, but with the right black cards its slaughterd.
(Certian mana burn decks beat it as well)

what format do you play? standard, extended or type 1?
That makes a lot of difference on the decks not to mention how powerful one can be.  

:blink:

Weird scary man is saying strange things!

LOL SS
formats are edition restrictions
like type I is alpha till I don't know anymore etc so you can't use cards from tempest on a type I tourney

in type 1 you can use cards from alpha-mirrodin(the last expansion) with a few exceptions, extended goes from tempest to mirrodin, and type 2(also known as standard) uses the last large edition(8th)and the last two block cycles (onslaught block and mirrodin).  Hope you understand...........

:miffed: Why can't they just have "all cards", "only current cards", or "cards from series X"?

dont worrie about it SS your safe we were playing typith one.
