LoadingReadyRun: It's Magic

[Asuka Soryu]

That guys magic tricks were awesome. Turning a black deck into red, then making all the cards vanish.

I nearly died of laughter when they flashbacked to him kicking all their asses.

On topic; I missed cH, glad to see it back in style. Didn't really get into Magic (I remember learning it, then promptly forgetting it), and if there was a CCG that I got into, I'd have to say, with great shame, was Yu-Gi-Oh. Influenced, again, with great shame, by the TV show.

Now now, nothing wrong with Yu-Gi-Oh! I have World Championship 2010 in my DS, and I'm considering getting Decade Duels off Xbox Live. It's a great card game, and is a great rival to MtG. In fact, I'm torn between the two games. On one hand, I love the artwork and fast pace of Yu-Gi-Oh! But also love the strategy and possibilities with Magic. In the end, both are great card games, though.

Go with Yu-Gi-Oh! Are card rulings should have you going insane in a matter of moments. Especialy since rulings are changed in the West version of it.

And there's the BKSS ruling.

:3

Though, YGO doesn't have set rotation, wich is pretty nice.

Tim's gone?? :-(

You guys only play type-2?

I've played this game for 17 years. It seems like such a waste to use only the new ones. But yeah, if you're almost exclusively playing newer players that might be a bit of a hassle at times. Never been a competitive player either. Just muck around with various ideas and got a group of friends who keep a variety of les or more competitive decks.

Currently I'm really into EDH (100 card deck, everything usable only once and limited to colors based on a General). Being able to actually use the collection of cards I've built up over the years is great. And hey, beating people down with an angry purple hippo [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=3227] is always fun.

You guys make the game seem so much more exciting than I remember it being. Also, mad props to Matt for the Sam Logan fireflower shirt.

Props to Sam Logan for the Fire Flower shirt.

I was actually wondering if you knew Sam Logan personally or something; the Sonic shirt the one week and the fireflower shirt the next.

Although, living in Canada, it wouldn't be too hard to ship over. Living in a place where the shipping costs double the shirt... well, let's say it's something I would really, really, really like to get, but can't unless there's 20 other people/things that want it that can warrant the shipping cost.

We do know Sam personally, yes.

He's from victoria originally, and the LRR crew met and get to know him not long after highschool (when he started dating an ex girlfriend of mine, actually ). Chalk it up to the world being a very small place.

This makes me want to play MTG again, damn you!

 

[Wes1180]

I haven't played magic before but I've watched this video around 15 times or something

 

[Brandchan]

I went through a phase of trying out MtG but I found everyone in my area (expect for the friend who taught me) was kind of a douche. So, I stopped playing. Also, at some point I also felt buying so many cards was just an expense I couldn't really justify for myself.

Though, I got say the whole episode was great and I totally loled at "Magnets...How do they work?"

 

[James_LRR]

How about we all agree J2N is a stupid card that should just be removed from the game?

Magic? While playing Magic?!?!

This was a fun episode but not even the loading ready run team could draw me back into Magic.

Gah, don't tempt me! I have a life now, I can't lose my soul this soon!

 

[ZombieGenesis]

Gotta say guys, I'm loving the longer episodes.
Oh dear heavens, a Magnets AND a Wizards reference? Those almost got by me.

Oddly enough Magic is probably the one collectable card game I never got into. Strange, because it seems right up my alley...
And for some reason I keep finding Kathleen oddly attractive...

Wait, did I type that or just think it?

 

[curtmina]

awesome episode guys, I recently got back in to pokemon so I know what its like.

 

[Godhead]

I love landfall decks. Know that I think about it I think 12 standard and 6 legacy decks might be a little much. :/

 

[Geamo]

Damn fine episode. I actually started playing a few weeks back, and my pure white deck is the despair of most of my buddies. Lots of cheap, weak creatures pumped up.

With True Conviction [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=208262]. Oh yeah.

 

[NEVRINx54]

Gorillaz shirt FTW.

Also, this sketch is strictly better than Storm Crow [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=14753], there's even one in it. (check out the comments on the 9th Edition one if you have no idea what I'm talking about)

I'm so glad someone noticed the Storm Crow! We made a point of getting it in there.

It so overpowered.

How is Storm Crow overpowered?

It costs 1 more than Suntail Hawk, and it only have 1 more toughness. You could play two Suntails to your opponent's Storm Crow.

Or is this just some joke I'm missing out on?

 

[Spudgun Man]

This reminds me why i never started, the rules crushed me flat, and I used to play 3rd gen 40k.

 

[ironlordthemad]

Man I love commodore hustle, even though everything you guys do is funny, CH takes the money every time... (I don't care for Magic but I've been listening to your podcasts enough to take a stab at this bad pun) It's the mythic rare of your deck/shows...

I suppose thats the official farewell to Tim then, its a shame, I miss the big guy already. Who will be there with a goofy smile now?
Anyone watching crapshots will tell you that alex's smile is just creepy... but in a good way...

Oh and the ICP references nearly killed me.
