I don't play anymore, but this is still a very big part of my childhood and nerd-legacy, and I do not regret a single cent I spent on more or less worthless cardboard. Discuss MtG here.

Just in case you were curious about the Samurai deck. The jitte was out of the theme deck, the Oathkeeper from a lucky booster.
Ah, a W/R Samurai deck. Interesting.
It's really pretty much the standard theme deck, mixed with cards out of the other theme decks (I LOVED buying those, a consistent and cool out of the box expierience with some nice lore tacked on).
I'll write a more lengthy post about what I like about Magic and what makes it cool imo in the starting post.
Ok, I'll look through my white cards to find replacements for those which I can replace.
Really, go for some devoted retainers and bushi tenderfoots, nice cards which fit perfectly into your deck, and you won't miss those dawnblades. You probably have some retainers, those are pretty common.
I have Devoted Retainers. I don't have Bushi Tenderfoots.
Retainers are cool though. Nice one-drops, synergize with your Samurai boosting cards and expensive equips and all aroun good card because of bushido.
You know what would be great?
Skullclamps (lol)
<Satehi> I, satehi, thought of tentacles first for entirely inappropriate, disgusting, lewd and perverted reasons
Honk
I even have one of those. I remember being a beginning player and thinking that it was bad, because I couldn't equip it to my x/1s because they would die from it.
LOL.
But you should see that it isn't exactly optimized. There is a battle mad ronin in there for a reason I can't explain other than that he was in the samurai theme deck.
I haven't played in years, but the most memorable deck I had was my no-land deck. I almost never won, but when I did, it would be hilarious. Basically, there was this one card that you could discard from your hand to get 1 green mana. And I'd use that to summon a... Llanowar elves, I think it was called? It was a creature that you could tap for a green mana. And then I'd build off of there. Basically, a bunch of stuff that you can tap for mana that aren't lands. And to screw with the opponent, I'd have stuff like winter orb, armageddon, an artifact that hurt anyone who put a land into play (I forgot the name)... Those sort of things that make it so they can't use their lands.
I tried the reverse thing, a cascade deck. Basically consisting out of 40 lands, cascade creatures, Swans of Bryn Argoll and Seismic Assault.
Get Swans and Assault out, discard a land to draw 2 cards, repeat until you draw 10 Lands. Kill opponent instantly.
Never finished it though.
...I've never even heard of any of those cards. I guess it's been a long time since I've played.
Speaking of which, what edition are they on now? Or when you stopped playing. (If they even call them editions anymore)
They revisited Mirrodin which caused a slight nerdgasm, and the next block has Richard Garfield on board again, so I'll at least check it out.
I need to familliarize myself with the rule change first, also refresh my memories on planeswalker workings.
After the Tenth Edition they changed the core editions names to year numbers instead (a welcome change imo, 14th edition would have sounded a little bit unaccesible for new blood), so we are currently on the 13th edition, aka Magic 2012.
Did you get the change of a new rarity getting introduced?
I played during Revised (3rd edition) and 4th edition. I don't know about any rule changes/mechanics/cards after that.
Of course, I played against people who had been collecting since Alpha/Beta/Unlimited, so I've seen some of the old out-of-print cards.
Lol. I never seen a Power 9 card in real life (or any Alpha/Beta/Arabian Nights card except for lands). You did?
Power 9? You mean the ones that were taken out of print? I've seen a few of them.
It's disheartening to have your opponent use a mox gem on their first turn.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Nine
Yeah, those. They should be worth something in the 4-digit area right now, so much that a new format got introduced named "modern". Cutoff point: Eight edition and Mirrodin block. No rotation.
I mean, for me, yeah they were rare cards, and it was always interesting to see them, since they were out of print by the time I was playing. But, on the other hand, by the time I stopped playing, people were also amazed when I played cards that went out of print after Revised, like dual lands and stuff.
Though I guess half the time, I was also thinking something along the tlines of "damn, he got his ancestral recall".
I never saw a black lotus however.
