Title: Favorite Format.
Post by: the_intelligentleman on December 02, 2014, 06:14:03 PM
Hey, here's a question, what is everyone's favorite formats, and why?

Mine personally is commander, group games and .politics. are just my thing. Also, getting to build around one card is just awesome, and gives the whole deck a theme. And I think that's really cool.

So what's your favorite?

Draft and sealed. Most of the time it creates a level playing field.

Am looking to get into legacy, just the budget kills it... & lack of support in the area doesn't help it either
Love EDH also, but lack of activity in my area has gotten me selling off my decks

Loved sealed, hate draft

Casual and for tourneys sealed. I've built a Kurkesh EDH, but as I limit myself to my (quite sizeable) stack of cards and occasional boosters or fatpacks, I won't likely be too competitive in it. Plus you need a load of pplz to play. Likewise I still got a hoard of unopened conspiracy boosters, yet no one to draft m with.

I enjoy standard because I love to grind the open circuit and tcgplayer events. Slowly building up to modern, and still need a commander for EDMFH

Doesn't it just give the Cauldron the ability to cast {Raging River}? Or what am I missing here? There's no context.

It's easier to understand the purpose of the card, but it doesn't do anything according to the game rules. Richard Garfield was never quite a stickler for the rules of the game, just more of the "feel" of the game. Which is why so many old cards like have a billion lines of text nowadays just so they work. Like how {Animate Dead} and {Dance of the Dead} actually work now, but make perfect sense in card text.

Holy wall of text batman. Didn't know magic cards had books written in the freaking text lol. Makes more sense now when I was seven and I tried playing magic and was so damn confused lol.
