Goblin King cards got Mountain walk effects for all the goblin
cards.
i don't mean to be mean but read what your responed to "what is trample
and mountain walk?" and you said "Goblin King cards got Mountain walk
effects for all the goblin cards."
you just made a little mistake but htats ok and least now they know how to get
mountain walk to all the goblins
Trample means if your creature kills another creature and still has attack power
left with out dying it deals that to your friend
Example:Your creature=3/3 your friends1/1 you attack he blocks with the 1/1 you
still do 2 damage to your friend because of trample
and mountain walk i believe means your friend can't block your creature if they
control a mountain i might be wrong
t goblinking: Firstly I must apologize, I got my oni confused. I meant to
suggest Gutwrencher Oni who has trample. If you only have Painwracker Oni in
play, you have to sacrifice it. But if you have no cards in your hand during
your upkeep, Gutwrencher Oni doesn't care.
So the first thing you need to do is decide what you want out of your deck. Do
you want to play aggressively or do you want to play control. If you think
about a typical game, how do you want to win. Pick a philosopy. 3-Color with
Hondens is going to be slow and ponderous, with a lot of investment put into a
"lock," but you're going to have the inevitiability that the longer
the game goes, the better your chances of winning. If you want to play
aggressively, you need consistancy and redundancy, you want efficient creatures
with low mana costs, and you want to attack as much as possible. This favors
the green/black as you don't have to worry about getting three different colors
of mana, and these colors tend to have very efficient creatures. Either of
these decks is workable but it just depends on how you want to play the game.
And when you choose cards, think about how it fits into your strategy.
I'll take Gutwrencher Oni as an example, since I discussed it before. This is a
great top end threat for an aggressive deck. 5/4 for 5 mana makes it very
efficient, and it has trample. It has an upkeep, but think of it this way: If
you have no cards in your hand, you don't have to discard anything. When you
play aggro, you empty your hand relatively fast. You should pretty much have
nothing left in your hand when you play it, so the upkeep is negligable. It
doesn't matter that you're not playing ogres, you don't have to. You still
draw your card and you're most likely going to be able to play it so you won't
have to discard. Also Gutwrencher Oni looooooves Strength of Cedars!
But if you look at a slower, control oriented deck, this is a bad choice.
You're going to be discarding cards that you need to set up your late game.
Efficient threats are less important since you have the time to develop your
mana base and play a large, easily protectible threat.
hehehehe .......... sori nickelbolt but i forgot to meantion that i juz wanna
make a green and black spirit deck. Although some of of your advice are useful
however those common u talkin about like glacial ray ............. i dont have
any, kinda like a stupid magic luck or whatsoever ......... and i dont think
painwrecker oni will suite me coz i'm lookin for spirits not demon spirits
........ i hate those types with all the '' if u dont control an orge and so on
'' coz i dont have any orge so any suggestion on green and black
......................... anyway i was also thinkin bout a tri coloured spirit
deck ; black, green, and white all in one ......... if it's adviceable. If it's
not then i'll have to stick with green and black. the reasons to my choice is
because i got three hondens of the colors ... hahaha .... so while u experts are
tryin to figure this out, dont forget to jolt down mana ratio ......... like
advice on how many swamps i should put if i wanna make a three coloured deck.
I feel like I have to share this. I am the worst magic player EVER!
So I'm playing at a Trial for Grand Prix Minneapolis, it's Champions/Betrayers
constructed. It's the last round before top 8, winner of the match goes on,
loser goes home. We split the first two games, so it's all down to game 3.
It's like turn 80 or so, the only thing either of us has in play is land. He
plays Meloku on his turn and passes. I untap, play Time of Need for my own
Meloku, and play it and they both die. In response, he makes 4 1/1 flying
Spirit tokens. He untaps and serves for 4. I peel Kodama of the North Tree,
drop it, and pass. He attacks for 4 and passes. I'm in trouble because my
North Tree can't win that footrace.
But I peel Godo, Bandit Warlord, play it, and search out Umezawa's Jitte, attack
with North Tree and pass. He attacks for 4, plays a Sakura-Tribe Elder and
passes, leaving me at 3 . So I untap, draw, and attack with Godo. He elects
not to block, takes 3, and my Jitte gets 2 counters. I then PASS THE turn!!!!!!
What is Godo's other ability?? He untaps and gets to attack again!!!!! But no,
I leave him tapped and pass the turn. He attacks, I kill 2 1/1s with jitte,
going to 1. So I untap, attack with Godo, get my 2 counters, and PASS THE TURN
AGAIN!!!!
Oh, but it get's better. He peels Kodama of the North Tree and plays it, so
both die. Now, with no blockers, he can attack with his Sakura-Tribe Elder, and
2 spirits. I can kill two with Jitte, but I can't block the other one, and I'm
at 1 life, SO I SCOOP!
What is Jitte's third ability??? You can remove a counter to GAIN 2 life! So
the play would be to kill 1 of the fliers and gain 2 life. But no. I had a
better plan. My plan was to scoop and miss Top 8. You can see why my plan
worked out so well...
Quote by GoblinkingHey, anybody in
here that has experience makn a spirit deck. Coz
kamingawa spirits are hard to make up. Very confusing. I was thinking
bout makin a soulshift deck then a fast one then a tough one ..........
at the end it was all but fast ..... and believe me I like fast. being
slow I gotta wait three rounds before a lousy spirit comes out.
Compared to my goblin deck ( now thats what i call fast and deadly ) in
three rounds i could already have three goblins................ thinkin
of it makes me proud to be their king .... hahaha ...... so back to the
point, anybody got tips
Try this: Play red/black. Blademane Baku + spirits and arcane spells = large
attacker. So run stuff like Glacial Ray and Horobi's Whisper for removal to
clear the way. Thief of Hope is really good, I also like Wicked Akuba a lot,
and the zuberas aren't terrible, Frostling either. Then you use Devouring Greed
for your kill. All of that stuff is common, so it shouldn't be too hard to get.
Oh, run that 5/4 fear demon, whatever he's called, he's a beater. If you have
access to more valuable stuff like Kokusho or Yukora the Prisoner, that's pretty
good too. It's not a deck that's going to win you any pro-tours, but it's kinda
fun, and has a relatively quick clock. If you're looking for *fast* in Kamigawa
though, you're not going to find it.

i played magic for 4 years we first started to play only 6 people her
(cochabamba, bolivia) we didnt really have a place to play so we got together in
a pizza place. now there are two stores here that sell the cards, i started
playing because i liked how the cards looked but didnt know what they were for.
thanxz to thatr i have a nice collection of old editions. thanxz to magic i
nearly lost one year at school.. jeje but i love the game but i dont like the
last collection though i thunk the best one was embestida (sorry i dont remember
the name in english) were the best legends appearred
I've been playing Magic for about 3 years and I've made only two decks that I
have never changed. Against a lot of the more obsessed Magic players and
collector's I am not all that great but my decks separate the good players from
the sucky ones. I am obsessed with the art of Ron Spencer. I got a lot of my
cards because people I didn't know would leave their card binders behind at
places and I would get all of their cards, my personal card binder is huge.

all i can say is that I've been playing Magic for like 9 years and I've never
seen that at a tournament. Ever. I remember this one time we had a tournament
at the local Mall, and this hot girl who worked at American Eagle came in and
gave us all $10 off coupons. I think it was akward for her. *shrug*

Ha hahaha, nice pic though !!! But yes, it is a little distracting to play with
something like that as opponent !!!
i think I shall go to the Saviors Pre release to try my modified deck, and to
see if i can get there some of the suggested cards !!!! XP XP XP XP XP XP

Quote by nickelboltIf I may make a
suggestion Impera, get a set of Natural Orders. You should be able to get a
playset of 4 for under $10 on ebay or the like. It's like Tinker, except for
fatties. You could cut down to more base green and run stuff like Llanowars,
Fyndhorns, and Priest of Titania for acceleration. They can attack for 1,
unlike birds, and you can Natural Order out Sliver Queen rather than casting it
directly. Instead of burn, just Rancor up your Verdant and go straight to the
dome, or if you need some extra "kill you," run old school Hurricane.
That's what I would do anyway...
I see, shall try the suggestion !! I do like the idea of rancoring the verdant
or the queen. But putting more elves to the deck for more green mana does not
seem to be good option, since the deck is penta with tutors on black and some
white. But rather than use hurricane, i prefer Disintegrate !! Cant help looking
at my oponent toss out some good creatures without the price of suffering game
removal.
