does imtg have a clan?  and what are your names so i can feel like i have friends?  ;)

[Wingnut]

My name is Wintut, and hopefully there is a clan. If not then why the hell has no one created one?

[Silent1236]

I'm Silent1236.

[Wingnut]

I did find an iMtg clan with Dudecore as the captain.

Get at me if you want to play some EDH sometime!

[Silent1236]

Awesome!  Let me know if you ever get around to building Commander :P

Also, Commander on MtGO is awesome.  Just built my Edric deck (including {Mana Drain} and {Force of Will} and {Capture of Jingzhou}) for 90 tickets.  So much better than trying to piece together a physical deck.

Does the new client suck that bad? I know I need to update my notebook but it freezes at points I can't hear sound and runs sluggish at busier points in the day? Anyone else having issues?

[Wingnut]

Yeah I don't have major problems with it.

We do have an iMtG Clan. I've been lazy and building my Paper collection (for monetary gain). I'll jump on sometime this weekend and invite people. Dudecore is the user name

Make sure you invite wintut, I've heard he's a cool cat and sucks at magic, so he'll help boost your numbers.

Will do. I unintentionally booted Silent. Please rejoin, nothing personal mate.

Is MTGO really that good and can I play for free (casually, such as EDH)? I have an account and the Exiler deck, I have been thinking of getting into online, but I am not sure.

Online is as expensive to play as you want it to be. The way it works is you basically buy tickets for $1 per ticket. You then trade those tickets for the cards that you want from the hundreds of bots in the trade section. But the things that make it cheaper is as follows: cards themselves are about a third the value ( a jtms is approx 30 tickets vs $95-100 irl) so approx $30. The next reason is that you need 4 copies of each card max, cause you can use the same cards in different decks so there is no use having more than 4 of a card. But the best thing, is that you can ALWAYS find someone to play with, there is always someone online. Mtgo gets expensive when you start drafting, it's approx the same price as irl because the packs are 4 tickets (so $4).

Magic Online is a ton cheaper, besides some mythics. Like Wingnut said, you can play games any time. It really does make you a better Magic player. I don't know why so many play PTQs and GPs without play testing on MTGO constantly. It just seems like throwing money away. The more you play the better you get. MTGO has the best competition in the world, no joke.
