I've never heard of this until just now! This sounds so rad. I have a gaming date with the guys this week and I'm going to build a horde for us to tackle. Thanks for calling this to my attention.

I have another question. How many cards do your horde decks run? I was gonna start with 100 cards but was thinking about going with more

Mines actually up to over 200 now.
I'm a little ashamed that my group can't beat it...

The only problem is now I'm going to have to buy a ton of tokens. I've only saved 5-10 of my favorite tokens for each tribe I love. Any recommendations for getting mountains if tokens?

Print your own for now. Plus you could probably get enough tokens for 5 bucks at your LGS. Mine sell em for .5/.10 a piece.

150 zombie tokens, 20 5/5 giants. Then the rest is any card I could find with Zombie on it that wasn't too complicated.

Title: Re: horde magic
Post by: Hays413 on March 24, 2013, 09:28:45 PM
I sleeve all my cards. Only have about 2000 now not sleeved. Only because I'm waiting on my order for another 3000 red ultrapros.

Because unlike everybody else it seems, my ultrapros don't break. Don't know what you guys are doing but I don't break sleeves. They don't get dirty like dragon shields. And I don't like the feel of KMC. They are all cut the same unlike Dragon Shields, The backs are textured so they don't stick. For me, they're perfect.

I think I might be too evil for adding 2 copies of {Zombie Apocalypse} in the deck. It's such a blowout late game.

That and as many copies of  {Endless Ranks of the Dead},  {Army of the Damned} and  {Unbreathing Horde} as you can find :)

See the link on the first page. It refers to a post that has a link about building a zombie horde deck.

It's yet another way you can play mtg. :)

^this is the reason we can't beat our horde. Then again it doesn't help that we're killing each other too... Teamwork can suck it lol

Try putting a  {Grimoire of the Dead} in your deck when playing against it. :)

The point of the Horde is to not specifically build decks to beat it. No fun in that.

Essentially you can have it based on any token type. I saw one today on mtgs that was elemental themed
