Jesus fucking Christ that's op, thank god I quit MtG long ago.

>>36346761
Not really. It requires you to build monogreen devotion to be effective more than Giant Growth. It would be op if it gave trample.

>>36346558
ok then
what did OP mean by this?

>and trample
one job

>>36346761

MtG is a massive clusterfuck of pay2win and powercreep. There's retarded combinations that make people win on turn 1.

>It requires you to build monogreen devotion to be effective
Thanks Sherlock.
Point is, it's got stupid potential in the mid- to lategame. You can get someone really huge really fast, unexpectedly.

>>36347340
I know, I pulled a 2nd turn win at a tournament once, while my opponent had exactly one basic land out.

oh, yeh, attack into this guy ;)

>>36347359

Mate that card requires you to make it to turn 4+ to be effective. That's not how long a game of MtG lasts.

Should I play magic the gathering or hearthstone

I've never played either

>>36347340
>powercreep
>new cards are all trash

you w0t

>>36347417
magic is nice, start out with magic duels on steam
i've never played earthstone but into magic for over a year

>>36347434
Will I make friends if I play magic

>>36347417
Hearthstone is for robots, MtG has to be played IRL. MtG is the better game though.

Netrunner is better than both.

>>36347453
irl, maybe
friday night magic runs every friday at most hobby shops with magic, and you can also go to the prerelease for the new set next weekend

>>36347417
I enjoy both but would actually recommend Yi-Gi-Oh Duel Links if you're looking for a good casual experience. Hearthstone is great for short pick up and play sessions, and is easy to get into, but unfortunately is really lacking in PvE content and if you don't want to get destroyed in PvP you have to spend a lot of money. Magic has similar problems and in certain ways is even more expensive, but it being a mostly physical, in person experience (allowing you to sell and trade your cards) somewhat offsets that. Of course that comes with it's own issues such as limited access to when you can play, and also the players leave a lot to be desired.

Back in my day I could stall virtually any T1.5 deck into a 30 turn grind. Swords to plowshares, Vindicate, Hymn to Tourach, Pernicious Deed, Sinkhole, that's how I rolled.

It would be a shame if something is gonna happen to that deck.

>>36348032

Kill yourself.

>>36347960
ANT, D&T, Eldrazi are some big decks that don't run force last I remember

I just like to play pauper. It's cheap, competitive and loads of fun with cards you normally wouldn't look into. Also, gitaxian probe and brainstorm are 100% legal. It's fun to look at new commons in a set instead of expensive rares.

If I wanted to get into pauper is there a good resource for what decks/strategies
are common in the format?

If you're not a poorfag, then play MtG.
Otherwise play Eternal card game (free on steam).
HS is fine too, but requires a lot of griding and is not as fun to play IMO.

MTG Online is very much a thing.
