dude he plays magic for a living. That is his life and i'm sure he enjoys it.

[polkadotedfish]

yeah why are you even on this page?...its not like you accidently typed in magic the gathering deck tech so stfu

[Spetaelsk]

he's really cute :)

Most generalization isn't that it's ONLY the cards, it's just the fact that there are soo many cookie cutter decks. Like Jund and Naya in Standard, Jund was 30% of the last PT and Naya was prolly a decent number (never found out the number). But when the Finals matchup was Jund vs Jund and I think 3 Jund decks made it to top 8... it's kinda hard to argue with when people say " the same decks win".

okay. whatever you say - and you should know since you've seen me play so often.

:: rolls eyes ::

Did you miss the part where I said that I beat 400-900$ decks with decks of my own design that have no more than 2-3 rare cards in it?

I'm not saying those pro decks aren't good, I'm saying that they are boring to play with and against.

SMD, troll.

[foundationsorrow]

9 rare spells that connect together it order to make a good deck.

[MagicTheFan]

You have to know WHAT to play to win. No wonder people play Tarmogryfs they are an amazing card but saying that everyone plays the same cards is bullshit. Ive been winning tournaments ever since with cards worth no more than about 200$

[Purgatog]

My fellow Swedes did well (especially Öberg) with Tezzerator, which was pretty much rogue at PT Berlin. That was extended though.

mdiem you suck. Even if you had the money you wouldnt win any tournaments because you lack the SKILL to play magic. Go home.

[mdiem]

Yes, not as bad as YuGiOh, *yet*

But still, at any given tournament, I can be assured to only see 4, maybe 5 different decks to play against, and I know exactly which my opponent is playing from his very first land drop. I routinely call what spell my opponent is about to play based on the mana they have available. It's still predictable and boring.

I just beat GW tokens, and got Fae down to 1 life before getting shut out by Cryptic with a rogue deck that has only 2 rares in the whole pile...

[pyroticmaniac]

Not really; Magic has such a high diversity there is always a way around any 'spam strategy'. What you said describes Yu-Gi-Oh precisely however. MTG is getting a little closer with each new expansion but I really don't think that it's there yet or will be in the near future.

[flamtapman]

i agree with you ...if you got money you win
