Mizukage/Megell, I challenge you.
As chess in the mail, I intend to set aside a deck specifically for challenging you to a game here in the forums.
I give my word that I'll be honest and not rig my deck or draw extra or any such thing. I'll mana shuffle as I normally would, play as I normally would, etc.

The only issue in my mind is order and contesting spells. Optimally we'd each post our whole turn, but to make things easier I think we should post by phases.
Each post would include:

turn number
life/poison counters etc.
phase
land in play (tapped/untapped)
creatures in play under my control
other permanents in play under my control
number of cards in my hand
spells
stack


It will certainly be difficult, but I think it might be worth it. A fun experiment, at the very least.
Of course, I'm still going to find a ride up there every once in a while and challenge you with other decks in the mean time.

So?

[Megell]

I would be much to tempted to cheat to be fully honest.

[Mizukage]

Hmm, with all the rules and all, I will say that I would have to cheat as well, if purely by heavenly mandate. I mean, it is hard enough not cheating in a life match, though wth you people it is not neccessary. only against dan, so that he can see his own game, and how much better I am than he is at it.

an interesting idea, I just do not have the resources to build a new deck so...

[Caseyweederman]

Surely you have more than one deck at the moment.
And I was one to cheat, but those days are long over. I grew a set of balls and began learning from defeat rather than fearing it.

[Mizukage]

I have my main three, as you saw, but none are new, you have seen all of them, and the redgreen is not up to snuff, we could roll with it though, I am game.

How we gonna keep track of what is in play? hard copy? that site you keep giving me would be good for when we need to see what is really in play.

[Drackir]

Perhaps some sort of online card deck could be designed? Hmm...


P.S.
~ Moved to OOC forum.~

[Mizukage]

thats not nice... I liked where it was! wait... what are you insinuating?

[Caseyweederman]

Ah, moved.
The online card deck would be MTG Online, but you have to buy all your cards again in digital format.

The Gatherer could be used for reference, or I suppose we could copy the images of the cards we have played into our posts, but we'd run out of room.


Hm... I bet our Dracky could whip something up in php that could grab card scans from the Gatherer and display an up-to-date view of the playing field.

[Mizukage]

sounds like alot of work, i was thinking pencil and paper, draw your own map. the gatherer to figure out what you are up against, you could change the field when i kill your stuff and not have to put anything when I counter it on a pad than on the computer.

[Caseyweederman]

You talk big, but I know your weakness.


Jagermeister.

Hey, next time we get together, let's play for shots. Instead of starting at 20 life, you take a shot every time you take damage. The trick is once you start losing... you keep losing. The winner is the last person not under the table.


I am, of course, morally opposed to drinking.
>.>

[Mizukage]

You are not as clever as you would hope, i won the game against you and dan anyways. plus the one before it, when we started drinking.

And your idea is incredibly stupid. you would die before you won. think of the damage my avens do... Just try and think about that.

It is not like halo.

[Caseyweederman]

Excuse me, I never claimed it was a good idea. We both know, for example, a certain person who would play to lose.

[Mizukage]

indeed, but he loses most of the time anyways...

[Caseyweederman]

Cause he gives up. The tool.

Well, I'm sure Das would be up for it. When does he come back?

[Mizukage]

soon, if not this weekend, then the next. no worries, he will most certainly contact one of us.

[Drackir]

Yeah no I was thinking some kinda card database that has all the info in it...but if you already have a site then there's no point...unless you have to pay...ellipsis...

[Mizukage]

there is already a site, free as well.there is just the question of content and format. is it just an easygame, like we normally play? restrictions on cards/series kind of thing?

[Caseyweederman]

Nahh, My suggestion only involves cards that we have. At any moment you could appear here using your crazy jutsu and see that I have played exactly as I've described.

And our games usually fall under Vintage, unless I am mistaken. We've certainly never played Standard, though I'm tempted to suggest a draft game when the new series comes out.

[Mizukage]

yeah, no idea what you are talking about.

All i want to know is if tempest is alright. It should be, what withj the re-release of slivers, and shadow. the two main reason many touraments put a limit on the series to begin with.

[Megell]

Hey, I like the sound of this drinking game.

it'll put my evil red/white deck to the test...

[sarcasim]Not to mention when casey has to drink 20ish shots near the end of the game... the trip to the ER would be rather entertianing. [/sarcasim]
