Title: Most fun you've had playing
Post by: 15bm on February 26, 2013, 06:43:19 PM
I just wanted to hear what the most fun you've had playing magic has been. Was it a particular deck or just cool people? The best experiences from playing, and all that good stuff.

It's absolutely the people you're playing with, not the cards. I don't think I could pick a single "most fun" game, but a few pop into mind.

One game of EDH with great friends, where a wrath was dropped every turn. It was pretty hilarious. We all had great hands, and full of wrath effects. One person wraths, a round of dropping scary fatties, and before they can do anything... Kaboom! The game finally ended when we all ran out of board wipes just as my friend drops {Gisela, Blade of Goldnight} and {Celestial Mantle} with {True Conviction} already on the field. He got to swing with her and it was game over.

Another fun one was in a sealed match. Got paired against a friend, and for some reason he and I always go to time when we play. This time it was because we both were bluffing a {Syncopate} for the entire game - we were both actually flooded with a hand full of lands. The whole time we're stalemated on the board with a giant mess of tiny flying creatures, so we know one big play and those flyers swing in for game. It was actually quite amusing.

And a friend of mine like to see how many matches of our agro vs agro decks we can fit in when someone leaves the table for the bathroom. Those are fun.

I remember that when I first started playing, it was freshman year of college and we would have games of 6+ people. Those were the best ever. People screwing each other over, catch phrases for cards, etc. The best was when I had two friends and I all using fungus decks. OMG WERE THOSE FUN! Three people just slowly building armies while the other people kill each other off.

Most fun I had playing was actually at the RTR prerelease. I got put in a match with my friends gf and she beat me the first round then I won the second and round three was the most interesting and entertaining match I've had so far (I've only been playing for over a year now) she was Azorious and I was rakdos she had me at 1 life and I had her at 3, she had no creatures on the board and I had {chaos imps}. It was her turn. Se played and {Azorious arrester} and detained my imps. My turn I draw {Annihilating Fire} thinking I had her and she countered it and I had nothing else to play. So she played another detain creature and killed me. It was a good solid battle

Anyway point is pre releases are fun cause its a good mixture of luck and skill. I find it more entertaining than spending a whole pay check to make a deck that no one can beat

I think the most fun I have is at prereleases. I love seeing friends that I normally only see at prereleases.

The most fun was when I first started playing.  All our decks were garbage, but we all thought we had awesome decks.  Wed have 3-4 player games and form "alliances," then drop a bomb and screw over our partners.  Something about playing more competitively, albeit casually competitive, is slightly less fun.  It's still loads of fun to play, but it lacks the randomness of how we used to play.  I almost want to build a deck with nothing but 1-of's to see how it could fare against our better decks. 

The most fun Ive had was avacyn game day when I refined my rogue creation of a competitive {heartless summoning} deck to be able to turn 3 bonfire for a billion. I had titans dropping and cloning turns 3, 4, or 5 and had my opponents constantly under threat of a rediculously large bonfire. It was the best deck I have ever made and stayed on top of the conpetition during delver's reign of tyranny with left field ideas like sideboard {second guess} and well played field threats like {frost titan}. It was so satisfying the first tournament match I ripped out T3 bonfire for game. My poor opponent hadnt even seem the combo before, he came from a different shop for game day. I did win that day and look foreward to the next time my rogue idea not only works, but consistently dominates.
