Gathering some Magics

Bunny · 2012-03-02 14:48:00

Just made myself a vampire deck.

Got three rakish heirs, which is nice. Wish I had more than one Stormkirk Noble, though.

Gelzo · 2012-03-02 14:49:36

It's sort of cute when new players think they've discovered new combos.

That's mean of me to say, isn't it? Maybe it's even meaner that I recognize the possibility and am posting anyway. Oh well.

Idler · 2012-03-02 14:51:04

^^ Haters gonna hate.

He's actually in the W/R DKA intro pack.

I think I heard of someone making an all-female vampire deck, probably for perverse reasons.

Gelzo · 2012-03-02 14:51:50

^^^An uncommon like that shouldn't be hard to find, right? It's worth like, what? A dime?

Fossilmaiden · 2012-03-02 14:54:02

> Implying there is such a thing as a new combo in Magic.

Bunny · 2012-03-02 14:54:40

Stormkirk Noble is a rare. About 5 bucks a piece, from googling it.

Gelzo · 2012-03-02 15:00:43

Hey, no one predicted Hulk Flash or Blazing Shoal combos until someone broke it.

*I meant the other vampire. Which was misleading in retrospect.

Idler · 2012-03-02 15:02:52

No-one in Magic ever predicts anything. No matter how good a card is, half the fanbase immediately decries it as worthless as soon as it's spoiled.

Gelzo · 2012-03-02 15:03:59

The other half says it's too broken.

Bunny · 2012-03-02 15:06:02

I do have this guy, though. So, you know, that's handy.

Haven · 2012-03-02 15:07:03

That guy is a mIrAcLe in Vish Kal EDH.

Idler · 2012-03-02 15:08:26

He'd probably be very good with Lyzolda, too.

Bunny · 2012-03-02 15:10:49

And Olivia would fit in just perfectly. Too bad I don't have her.

Idler · 2012-03-02 15:12:37

Olivia. -swoon-

I wish I had her or Aristocrat. I have Huntmaster, though; he's pretty awesome, but not as stylish.

Gelzo · 2012-03-02 15:15:55

I know Wizards was trying fan service for gays and females with some of these vampires, but I think they really went overboard with Olivia.

Idler · 2012-03-02 15:17:48

She's just holding her dress

Are people blind or something

Fossilmaiden · 2012-03-02 15:18:16

*swoon* ...Nope, can't do that with a straight face. Still a wonderful old friend, though.

Gelzo · 2012-03-02 15:21:11

Have a closer look, Idler. There's no way a person could or would even try to grip a dress like that. He's just fondling the tip.

Justice4243 · 2012-03-02 15:21:30

Nocturnus still tends to be the main finisher in my Vampire deck. Get him out with a Dark ritual on turn 2 and one will start doing obscene amounts of damage

Idler · 2012-03-02 15:26:47

^^ Well it's that or believe that she has an impossibly large cock. I know which one seems more plausible to me.

Gelzo · 2012-03-02 15:30:21

Well it certainly took you some convincing, but I'm glad we can put the matter to rest.

Idler · 2012-03-02 15:32:40

She seems to be the only member of the Voldaren bloodline who has a card, whereas the other three vampire families are quite well-represented.

Justice4243 · 2012-03-02 15:43:22

I'm pretty sure that's her knee and not an erect third leg.

Idler · 2012-03-02 15:44:15

No, an article confirmed that it's her holding her dress out. It can't be her knee, look at her legs.

Justice4243 · 2012-03-02 15:47:44

Ah, there we go. The card is pretty small on my screen to see her other bare foot.

Fossilmaiden · 2012-03-02 15:48:20

Rotlung Reanimator and Dark Supplicant are great friends.

Idler · 2012-03-02 15:54:18

Dark Supplicant is weird; not many other cards name a specific other card in their effect.

Fossilmaiden · 2012-03-02 16:01:27

But what a card it is. :P

Idler · 2012-03-02 16:03:00

From the Dark Supplicant gatherer comments:

Combos with Scion of Darkness.

Fossilmaiden · 2012-03-02 16:06:30

What cards do explicitly combo with each other?

There's Dark Supplicant + Scion of Darkness, Helm/Shield/Sword of Kaldra, Crown/Scepter/Throne of Empires, and... what?

The Herald cycle from Alara
Nissa Revane and Nissa's Chosen
Sift Through Sands, Peer Through Depths and Reach Through Mists
Urborg Panther, Breathstealer and Feral Shadow with Spirit of the Night
Arachnus Spinner and Arachnus Web
Diligent Farmhand and Muscle Burst
Kyscu Drake and Spitting Drake

Haven · 2012-03-02 16:11:46

There's Urborg Panther and the other Nightstalkers, who summon up the proto-Akroma Spirit of the Night. The "Herald" cycle from Shards of Alara. And then there's Sift Through Sands and the other two, which bring out "The Unspeakable".

^ Ninja'd. Well, if you're listing Diligent Farmhand, there's Pardic Firecat too.

Idler · 2012-03-02 16:14:07

Haveeeeeeeeeeeen

Gelzo · 2012-03-02 16:17:03

Pardic Firecat and Flame Burst, and Urzatron.

Fossilmaiden · 2012-03-02 16:17:23

...How'd I forget Urzatron?

Gelzo · 2012-03-02 16:18:10

Search me.

Haven · 2012-03-02 16:19:12

What are you, a dictionary library?

Fossilmaiden · 2012-03-02 16:20:28

If he is, does that mean Thought Lash will exile him?

I love Thought Lash, if only because of Laboratory Maniac.

Haven · 2012-03-02 16:21:12

Oh yeah, there was also this card's original wording.

Fossilmaiden · 2012-03-02 16:22:23

Oh look, a white denial card. I'll have to remember that. Flashfire is boring.

Idler · 2012-03-02 16:23:09

Cards were so ridiculously specific back then. Behold as I change the text of target white enchantment I control that doesn't
have cumulative upkeep by replacing all instances of one color word with
another!

Fossilmaiden · 2012-03-02 16:24:59

I want a playset of actual physical copies of Artificial Evolution. :<

Lunate · 2012-03-02 16:38:50

Pardic Firecat and Flame Burst

Similarly, Diligent Farmhand and Muscle Burst.

Gelzo · 2012-03-02 16:45:02

That one was already mentioned.

Remember, reading is tech!

(Why does talking about Magic make me want to act like a dick?)

Obā-san · 2012-03-02 16:45:11

Idler · 2012-03-02 16:47:19

^ He beats some of the other legends from that set, at least.

Obā-san · 2012-03-02 16:47:57

....Wait, really? o_0

Lunate · 2012-03-02 17:12:32

That one was already mentioned.

Oh.

Also, for the opposite of a combo, Rock Lobster, Paper Tiger and Scissor Lizard

Idler · 2012-03-02 18:56:23

I like to think that the reason behind Kemba's ability is that the more equipment you give her, the more of her followers rush to help her carry the five different swords and shit you've burdened her with.
