rainefardreamerParticipantVIRTUAL COLLECTION M/tg/
Come play with us!
Magic: The Gathering is a great game with potentially endless variety. But it is not perfect; no matter what formats are used certain decks will always emerge as the best uses of the available tools.
Dynamic, radonmized formats such as Sealed and Draft help mix things up and make some of the more unusual possible decks viable, but require start-from-scratch deck-building every game or round of games. Playing with small collections unique to each individual removes this requirement, as well as introduces an additional meta-game beyond your own deckbuilding; that of learning the types of decks your favorite opponents’ collections favor.
Here’s how to play with virtual collections:
I have pre-generated 42 randomized collections for the following sub-formats:
– 9th Edition + Ravinca + Time Spiral blocks, 296 cards; four boosters from each major set and two from each minor set.
Sub-formats are defined by popular request; more will be added as time passes and existing sub-formats are populated.
Archives containing all 42 collections for each sub-format can be found here, in addition to these insctructions and a player regisry: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=139f5b312e4110a78ef1259ff1b60e81f0549ecc523da00c61390143435ec59c
Make a post with “dice 1d42” in the email field to see which collection you’ll use! Use a name/tripcode in the same post, and you will be entered in the player registry available in the mediafire link above. That way, anyone you challenge to a game with the same name/code can verify that you didn’t cherry-pick your collection, as well as comparing your play against their own copy of your collection so they know you aren’t cheating by using other cards.
The collection files themselves are Magic Workstation databases. Follow these instructions to setup and work with Magic Workstation if you don’t already have it installed: http://www.mwsgames.com/index.php/MWS_Install_Guide
…make sure you get the M:TG-specific game files, as MWS does not include any game-specific support by default!
Now you can view and deckbuild with your collection! Extract the zip containing the virtual collections, and then In Magic Workstation, Go “File > Open Libraries” and navigate to the one you rolled. Open it, and one of the panes is now displaying your collection. It should be in “view mode” as indicated by green text in the upper right of the pane.
Click in the other pane, and go “File > New Deck” to begin constructing a deck from your collection. The second pane should now be empty, and in “edit mode” as indicated by red text in the upper right of the pane.
If either mode is wrong, a button on the bar at the top of each pane can toggle the modes. Another button, a green box with an arrow, lets you add or remove cards to and from your deck pane, from your collection pane. Proceed with the building!
You are free to use AS MANY COPIES AS IS NORMALLY LEGAL (typically 4) of any card in your collection, as well as any of the five basic lands (available from the Master Library in your Magic Workstation root directory or the drop-down load menu), but no fewer than 60 cards in a deck.
Nothing is banned; it’s highly unlikely that anyone will get gamebreaking combos.
Don’t worry if this is overwhelming… You can take as long as you need to deckbuild, these threads will continue to be made from time to time.
Once you have a deck or three (or if you’re already set up from a previous thread!), post here once again with your registered name and tripcode to find people to play against! You can also check #TGMagic on irc.mibbit.com or the following Google Wave: https://wave.google.com/wave/#minimized:nav,minimized:contact,minimized:search:in%253AInbox,restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252BK1zW3Nk5A.2
To play, make sure you have the focus in a deck pane, then go “Game > Connect to and Opponent > Calling” and enter mwsplay.net in the ip box if it isn’t already available. This will open a lobby where you or your opponent can host a game with a name easy for the other to find. Look for a game with M/tg/ in the name. If you don’t see one, you can create one and wait, someone should be along sooner or later… sooner if you make a post on /tg/ or IRC and advertise!
…and that’s it! Enjoy testing and improving your decks against your fellow fa/tg/uys, and once that gets old start thinking about what sub-formats you’d like to see next!
this is something i saw on /tg/ you make basically draft decks and with the mws you can play each other online, i dunno how you wanna do a random number but in the dl file you there are 42, i picked the 42, when you dl it you get them all, anyways if any of you wanna do this, lemme know, i made a le *edited*ty deck, it’d be nice to have other people to play around with, besides 4chan nerds.

lame they restricted embed :/
why u do this
rainefardreamerParticipantlulz, i thought that was me for a second
rainefardreamerParticipantif you guys make a cod4 server i’ll spend the ten hours to redl the game just so i can play again
hardcore, ff on
or hardcore ff off
either way, that’d make my day
cod4 hardcore was the *edited* man, shotgun deagle as main on most maps, god that was fun
mw2 is sadface…softcore is basically the only way to go and *edited* like hardline aren’t useful in softcore, in cod4 if i had hardline, i probably would’ve considered giving up UAV jammer for it, cause it’s not like my m16 with reddot was quiet
rainefardreamerParticipantl4d2?
i don’t has it…
steam sale?

LAWLS
i would totally cheat on my gf with Toranky
Oh you would cheat on this “gf” with anything…don’t lie to the population.
This makes me LOL.
so-cal is just mad cause he’s my gf, and it’s that time of month again
rainefardreamerParticipantLAWLS
i would totally cheat on my gf with Toranky
rainefardreamerParticipant
rainefardreamerParticipantbecause he wants to tap for one green mana
so… he can play more elves
even though elves are hella cheap and wirewood channeler gives you mana of any color you want and a *edited*ton more, though it’s a turn 4, but if you’re running monogreen its not a problem
llanowar elves are just limited birds of paradise, or utopia trees
rainefardreamerParticipantsure, seems like it’d be an ok deal, just out of curiosity how many commons are there, also lands are important too. Man boxes are 99.99? that *edited*s crazy, the used to be like 80 or so… :*(
i like to do drafts up here in raleigh, but a lot of people don’t have lands of their own, or forget and thats a real bummer, so if i can pick up some extras that would be great
rainefardreamerParticipantI’ll give you 70 for the whole kit and kaboodle, plus shipping or whatever
or you can keep some of the rares, and i’ll take most of it, vampire notucrous isn’t even that great for the vampire black deck i’ve got. : )
don’t suppose you’ve got any bramblewood paragons hiding about? countryside crushers either? i’d rather any of you guys get the cash then some online site
rainefardreamerParticipantit was me all alone…
oh well, i didnt’ really spam anyone to get them to join though, so it’s pretty understandable why i didn’t get a large turnout
rainefardreamerParticipant
rainefardreamerParticipantdustbowl is good
people like the pushcarts
TF2 is built for Control Points and for Pushing Carts, flags are old school and the maps for them are poor apparently
rainefardreamerParticipanti enjoyed owning you all
it was good times

rainefardreamerParticipantHomeworld – we set the bar for awesome
Tie-Fighter – enjoy plugging away at that x-wing shields for the next minute
Mount and Blade – just wait til i get knights
Alpha Centurai – just being the best civ type game ever
rainefardreamerParticipantpretty much yeah…zBlock isn’t gonna happen, in fact i think we’ve tried it a couple of times and it is apparently a whiny *edited* or something and rapes the server
rainefardreamerParticipantdust 1 is t’s getting raped, or raping the cts
either way someone is getting bent over for 10 minutes
militia is fun, sometimes
rainefardreamerParticipantred/black is strong
green/blue with flying can work
remember your mana curves, remember that combos are strongest
if you can grab some averison for your creatures, like flying and landwalk, it’s pro
mill, control aren’t gonna be that helpful
burn, creature bum rushing
rainefardreamerParticipanti wanted to see it again, after i just watched it
def picking that up later
rainefardreamerParticipantHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHA
oh man
