Welcome to Gaia! ::

Greetings, fellow Modists! Earlier today, the topic of Magic: the Gathering came up in the DYBIM thread, and we soon discovered that there wasn't any sort of organized Modist meeting ground for it (and if there is, my apologies!). There's a few of ya who I know play Magic, so we figured a place to organize some games between Modists would be a good idea. And here we are!

This is the program I use. If you've got the official Magic: the Gathering Online program, great! I don't use it, though, and I'm betting a few other folk don't either, what with the expenses involved with keeping a real life and online set of cards up to date. Apprentice allows us to just mess around with cards, with a sort of house rules thing for wha's allowed and what's not.

I suspect someday we'll get a tourney running on here, if we've got enough people. And, if you don't know the game but would like to and there aren't any card shops near ya (or any good ones at least), I'm sure there'll be plenty of folk willing to teach ya.

So, what say you?

Alrighty, sounds good. We can also do sealed deck games, like Katane and I did, which I'm finding to be a good deal of fun.

Also, anybody who wants to join in, make sure to post your IM screen names on here or have it available off that little toolbar next to our names. We have to trade IP addresses with Apprentice (and I think we're all capable of trusting each other) and it's best to do that over AIM or MSN or Yahoo.

Ooo, that's a while off. But okay. I was hoping to have things put together to the point that we'd get a Modist Lorwyn tourney going. Something like a sealed letter for a prize or somesuch.

We can get some games set up for the folk who are returning to the game as well as those getting used to Apprentice. Janus prefers MWS, I prefer Apprentice. In the end, whichever everyone likes better will be the default choice for playing.

I'll build a deck when I have time. I still haven't gotten to. But I can't promise it will be soon.

You, sir, are obviously my MORTAL ENEMY. scream

Indeed! scream
En garde! scream *plays a Plains*

Messiah: Rock. Apprentice should have the official Lorwyn patch soon. And if the prerelease is any indication, it should be lots of fun. I'm debating on whether the Modist Lorwyn tourney should be sealed or constructed. Sealed is a lot of fun.

Riposte!
