Tied between this and a forbidden orchard expedition my sister bought for me.
Knights was the first modern deck I built (was working towards merfolk, but had bought the caverns and vials first)

>>52993363
Question for the knights players here, are they really that strong of a tribe for modern? Has something more off beat been attempted, like illusions?

>>52993059

>>52993455
Knight is a meme tribe.

>>52993455
Both of those are incredibly bad.

>>52993556

>>52993455
>>52993594
Yeah not gonna lie, my meta at the time was not too competitive, the best were some tier-2 decks. The Faerie matchup was fun as all hell though, the guy playing them was just a salt mine.

>>52993455
As a general rule, tribal decks need heavily pushed lords to work.

Elves is reliant on Ezuri; Merfolk on Pearl Trident.

Eldrazi are odd in that they're powered by a land. Bant Spirits is still fringe a this point. It might break the mold a tad, since WotC doesn't seem interested in good lords at the moment. Just look at the trash they printed while trying to force Warriors tribal.

28KB, 223x310px

Got to love the Primeval Dragons, such amazing flavor and stories, I remember my EDH deck firstly was a Darigaaz good stuff deck (I barely had bought the Phyrexia vs Coalition duel deck back then) and suddenly my friends started playing EDH, so I decided to jump in with everyone. It was funny because that was such a huge headstart for me back then, dark ritual, phyrexian arena, greaves and what not. Eventually, Darigaaz was lacking, everyone started to revamp their decks, dude with Kemba got some better gear, elf player went from Nath to Ezuri, and I had to move on as well, I had realized, enter Prossh, I got myself a Food Chain and refurbished everything, now all that is left is my foil FNM Terminate, the greaves and Phyrexian Arena, obviously the mana base is generally what would be the same, but back then all I had was RB and GR shocks, now I went so much further that I have an extremely greedy mana base (six basics, three of which are snow.) and have a blast facing against everyone from back then (who also evolved too). So because of that, the old art of Terminate is a reminder of my beginnings in EDH, and my spiralling into what is probably the most fun format I ever delved into.

>>52993455
I don't think it'll ever be a hugely powerful deck, but I've gotten some fun mileage out of double strike shenanigans with anthems and exemplar.

>>52998520

Because Kamigawa is the worst selling and worst rated set ever. The power level was really fucking weak, especially when compared to Mirrodin, and people didn't get the lore because instead of just Samurai and Ninja it was "Shinto: the plane". This is all based off of old Market Research.

Even then, if Wizards ever did a return to Kamigawa, we would not get back the same setting. After the success of Theros (and I assume Amonkhet) WotC sees that a Pop Culture fantasy version of real world mythology tests really well. And Kamigawa was pretty deep into Japanese Mythology, so a Pop-culture version wouldn never do it justice.

I just dig this one. I like the art, I like what it does, and I like the pretty colours.

Graft is dope.

>>52998520
Because:

The players hate it (at least those playing at the time but if MaRo is to be believed the majority hate it even to this day since supposedly they do recent survives for that)
The design is just bad (almost all mechanics are parasitic or just plain boring, Ninjitsu being the exception)
Bad themes (Legendaries especially)
Abysmally weak powerlevel (especially noticeable since it came after original Mirrodin)
Went too deep in the japanese mythology and look that it alienated all normies and entry level weebs that wanted anime.block. Kamigawa is the reason Theros, Kaladesh and now Amonkhet (plus all future blocks) will have only iconic elements of their respective mythology and not actually feature in depth references, visuals and mythos.

>>52998612
I really wish that Wizards would just do SOMETHING original with the inspiration they take, instead of literally just rotating roles and changing names.

Amonkhet is LITERALLY Egypt, but the mythological creatures are real and:
They have gods that are literally just Bastet, Ra, Sobek, Anubis, and Apophis that do different things than they originally did.

Would it have killed them to worldbuild a little bit of their own shit? I actually like when they do that. We get stuff like Innistrad, (fuck you, I liked what they did with Shadows), Ravnica, and even the stuff that was original for Theros I thought was great. Kruphix is based. It's just they HAD to make something that was the not!Illiad for some stupid reason.

To be fair, not being as strong as Mirrodin is not just Kamigawa's fault. Mirrodin was retarded power-wise. Kamigawa is also seen as bad because of how many peoppe left because of the sets before it.

That card. I love all Pox Variants, but this one, man, it just has everything. The art, the symmetry, the balls hitting the floor when tapping to cast a big one. Most satisfying card to play, by far.

>>52998612

I still don't understand why they're blaming the actual setting, when the problem was far more to do with the cards being actual ass. Ho boy, I sure do love me a 6 mana 2/2 fear.

Kamigawa is one of the planes people get so hyped to see in supplemental sets like commander, so I refuse to believe that the setting is unpopular. Even if that genuinely is the reason, I don't see why they can't do a bait-and-switch.

Kamigawa block was set like 3000 years before the current timeline. They could make the plane unrecognisable on returning, if they wanted to.

>>52999922
It had some cool shit (Investigate is a pretty universal mechanic and Tireless Tracker is just a fucking joy to play to the point where it joined my top 10 favorite cards) but I didn't like the HP lovecraft twist on the Innistrad theme and the poor timing of yet another fucking Eldrazi block. The set overall was okay to meh but what condemns it in my eyes is that it didn't hold a candle to the original which was especially jarring coming out of BFZ block which was an even harder rape of the original block in every way. All of this without even touching the standard format

Context matters and the timing and way it came out knocks down at least 1-1.5 points, add to that everything else I mentioned and I can't say it's a block I will remember fondly or really remember a couple of years down the line. Just another meh block in a long line of meh blocks recently.

I've got fond memories of Portal. Bought a few boxes for my bro when he was learning, and some of those cards kept resurfacing in our decks for years after. A lot of really decent art in that set, too - evocative, but not stupidly over-the-top.

My first deck ever was a burn deck with 4 ball lightnings in it. I couldn't play the fancypants turn-one-kill tourney version because even back then the lotuses already cost "more money than god" (relative to a kid with $10 allowance, anyway), but I did manage to get a couple of red moxes to help power it along. Fond memories.

That looks exactly like the Winter Orb... which might actually be mine. Built a hard control / H-mine + millstone deck around that which absolutely crushed people (and their souls).

A lot of people were playing really trim 40 card decks (before they changed the min) at the time and you could mill them down incredibly quickly.

I think that's a solid choice, anon. I was never one for human tribal, but he's a great example of a card that knows exactly what it wants to be and does it well. I'd call it iconic for what it is.

As for my favorite, it's a tough call, but I'd have to say it's this one: Norn lured me into MTG and Phyrexia remains my favorite aspect of the lore. I was torn between her and Steel Overseer, but she had value to me even before I played the game, and I think that says something.

>>53000726

I remember my 4th Grade self seeing Ball Lightnings in glass cases at the huge flea market where I live (RIP, Super Flea) and wanting them for my burn decks.

If I had just saved for two or three weeks I could have gotten some but I dumped money on boosters as soon as I got them.

does anyone else miss the old merfolk/goblin/squirrel/elf/sliver decks of old?

I have so many old cards from when I played in high school and I look at the stuff now and im like... " I have no memory of this place " wtf happened to urza/ertai/squee/volrath? I am behind the times... lol

Jareth , the Leonine Titan was one of my first rare cards I've ever owned, and while as card has little use in game, it always kept a special spot in my heart.
The mental image of having this big guy, with nothing but his bare hands and a shield, managing to block virtually any critter ever, makes for a pretty cool mental image.
Theoretically, this guy could face the darksteel colossus or the progenitus, or even the inkwell leviathan , and tell him "You. -WON'T-. PASS.", and proceed to keep him at bay with his bare hands.
Talk about badass.

>resolve planeswalker
>you erratically snowball out of control unless you opponent either has a better board or one of the two answers allowed by wotc to walkers

Yeah dude it's fun as hell

>>53013224
Gonna have to call bullshit on that one captain

>>53014577
Fuck off Nathan, superfriends is a fucking shitty deck to play against. At least control players have the decency to draw-go and not spend eternities mulling over each and every walkers abilities.

Christ.

>>53010316
...saved. For research purposes.

Not a single one of you had posted Karn. I am disappoint.

>>53015808
Delete Karn.

I put it in my Daretti deck. It gets disgusting.

>>53015644
I don't play superfriends I play really bad control decks, with a lot of walkers coincidentally

>>53015830
tron doesnt give a fuck about karn or ugin, there are plenty of other things it can spend the mana on

Did you panic sell for MM2 or something?

All hail Nimbly Bimbly, king of the one drops!
The goose is probably my favorite creature, not favorite mtg card. I recently finished my foil playset for legacy and I'm itching to try canadian out again soon.

Archfiend of Ifnir is definitely up there, I'm surprised to see such good art out of a new Magic set

Agreed

pariah+inviobility.. I miss the old days.

wtf happened to Karn?

>>53015622
Have you seen the op? The only thing the promo has going for it is a smaller print run. It doesn't even pop out the frame.

>>53018084
Guay is p overrated though.

It is much more business than art. The card game and sales comes first, the flavor and everything else comes in a very distant second.

Mindslaver Doesn't work like that friend

>>53023081
Shut up

>>53023081
I know. It was a joke.

It was also a glitch in Xmage. I was playing it against a computer to test it out, and then after Mindslaver triggered it let me switch to the computer's hand watch what it does without controlling anything... so I conceded as the computer and the game said I won.

I love the old obliterate, both the crunch and the flavour text. Love how barrin is just mad as hell and is just gonna nuke it all
