This is the most I could be bothered to do at 1 in the morning on a schoolnight. It's a deck thread for the dotp 2013 expansion decks. They were the easiest of the 21 to do quickly.

I will probably do the original 10 friday morning if people actually comment in that thread, although there is a small chance I will do some more tonight.


Jack, put any deck discussion threads under Magic General/ Constructed, so they are in one space and can be easily found and migrated to our sub-forum when it comes

Edit: If you are going to start a deck discussion thread I would rather you format it as we are used too.
Autocard the decklist in the first post and leave the post at that, then let discussion happen.

So I did all of the decks for Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013. All 21. Here they are:

viewtopic.php?f=16&t=935&p=27720#p27720

I figured that they could be copied and pasted into separate threads later, but for now, we don't have our own subforum. At least they are currently in a format that won't take another 2.5 hours to move around.

I couldn't really justify creating 21 new threads and basically taking over the entire first page in the constructed section. There is already a little trouble convincing people to join the forum due to earlier reactions to dotp here........ I don't think 36 new threads would garner a reaction we would want to garner from the main forum body.

On the plus side, this is another reason to justify a subforum.

edit: also I didn't see devil's post until after I did all the lists, and separating them is not a task I can do last night or now. I am legitimately worried about people getting upset at too many threads in a main forum though.

I would kill for an updated version of the old MircoProse MtG Shandalar game from back in the 90's. I could build decks in that game and the interface didn't make me angry.

That said, I can get behind Duels as a new, more modern way to introduce players to the hobby. I just wish it wasn't so buggy.


You don't have to kill anyone..Updated version exists at http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/view ... f=8&t=2349

Works on all windows
Can input every card made But can't run them in Shandalar, the RPG part and only 2000 at a time. You have to remove some to add others.
Looks better than MTGO

ok, Now that I've provided one poster with assistance:

DoTP isn't a kid's game although it does get kids more into it. The fact that it is limited as to what can be played is actually a challenge. You don't have to whip out the ole' pocketbook and shell out good hard earned money for cards as in the card game or mtgo. No, you have to make the best of what you have. It evens the playing field and encourages you to try harder. Players are more than willing to help too as witness the influx of us from the other forum.

I can say without any doubt, that I've played more than anyone else. I playtest and playtest and test some more. I find hidden gems that other players immediately dismiss. Most dismiss them due to the same things you see on Mtgo or card discussions. They don't get the maximum use out of such cards.

Yes, you'll find some subpar competition at times, but you'll also find some great minds at work.

I also played MTG Tactics(it's recently been given it's death notice which will happen March of next year). I would find card players who considered themselves experts come in and get totally annihilated. Why? They were stuck in the "buy a solution" mode. They found themselves paying more attention and getting better by using their cards to the fullest. That's the same thing DoTP of any version does for a player. It will improve your game. You will no longer dismiss cards as useless automatically but see a lot more options that others don't.

It's a small investment but worthy of your time and money. If you do, and have problems adapting, well, We're here now to provide that help. The regulars of this game.

Jack, before we go posting mega in constructed I think it should be mainly about 2014 at the moment. Not nearly as many decks to discuss so as to not take up so many threads.
When we get a sub-forum we can start creating separate threads for 2013 stuff. I do not want to step on any toes getting established here.
Thanks.

I think the first "other" thread should be about the merits of the game to dispel some silly notions. Agree? I'll do it if you like.

Disagree.

Hopefully we just get our own subforum and can do our thing. Then people are free to lurk and read, and if they get interested then its a win. Anyone we have to convince that this is a valid game, probably isnt going to have much to bring to the table, for this format.

Thanks Garren. I made a decklist and discussion thread in Constructed.
I have the day off AGAIN tomorrow (damn rain... that makes a lost week of work... digress) so I will be posting up threads for discussion on the decks that are already available so we can really start feeling at home here.

Can't say I blame you. I still think they buggered up the forum on purpose so they wouldn't have to moderate it because it would die out on its own.

After receiving the ban the other day for nothing really other than asking a strongly worded question I just got fed up.
I had already joined here and had asked about having our own sub-forum.
It is now my job to make sure that happens and I won't quit until we are all over here and merely lurking wizards for official info... although we might release it here quicker. lol
I still will be there for the bugs thread.
I can't keep people hanging and I made a commitment. I honor my commitments.

Open up windows paint and use it to resize your avatar. That is what I had to do.
