erm... it's not a card, it's a format actually as explained by cdwk2383 in his earlier post smile.gif
to be honest i haven't played magic since the 8th ed and during my 2 year stay in magic i've stayed to playing contructed and have NEVER tried drafting or sealed before. since i'm interested in making a return my friend suggested that i join a sealed tournament held locally here in 2 weeks time. so doing a bit of research first lor smile.gif

thanks for the tips, will keep them in mind notworthy.gif i was wondering if you can give me a summary of the type of cards that would be highly playable in sealed. for example you mentioned bounce and acceleration. also, what would be the best 3 colours to choose? or issit dependant on what i get in packs? thanks again notworthy.gif
*
actually there is no 3 more powerful color, when i say 3 most powerful color means the 3 most powerful color of wat u opened.

but for combination of 3 color tat can be brought together easily is red white green and white green black. normally these 2 combination will be more powerful la. if u do a bit of study on the guilds of ravnica and guildpact then u will know wat i mean

u can always use apprentice to generate a sealed deck card pool and try to build a deck from there

edit: btw i was at ipoh yesterday for a PTQ sealed deck tourney, lol!

the 3 best color depends ur pack that u open (or the 2 main colour in ur theme deck that u picked and 1 colour of ur choice in the packs u open)
i normally go for green in any deckc ause its the easiest to use besides great mana provider to provide u wit momentum for the game...
never use blue as they require too much timing and it is the hardest to use among the 5 main colors...

dun get apprentice...
get MWS it is way betetr
and they got their own server so u dun even need to use the old ip address connect stuff lol...
*
actually blue is very good, can gain a lot of card advantage, a lot of tricks, but u need a lot of experience n skills to utilize it.

btw i seldom use MWS, hav to try it sometime, and may i know how can i connect to the MWS server?

edit: quite a big news for every1, Grand Prix KL will be coming soon, around June, and the Grand Prix Trial for GP KL will start 26th March. The format is sealed deck with top 8 booster draft drool.gif . Sud practice more from now! gogogo

have been playing around with MWS tongue.gif

was wondering if bottled cloister would be a good card in a sealed deck? what bout any of the hunted creatures?
*
quite good, but imagine when ur hand being removed from the game, n bottled cloister is destroyed by op, then u lost ur hand forever.

Those hunted creatures, the best 1 i think is hunted dragon, followed by hunted phantasm(blue 1), if u can make the hunted troll have trample, then it's worth playing also

Don't tell me you guys only talked about sealed decks meh. C'mon there's still constucted and extanded. smile.gif

nonono, don get the wrong idea man, we talk bout every format here, just tat the hunted creatures we discussing the usefulness for sealed, since the original question is for sealed.

Any topic or discussion for constructed is welcomed as well....

lol...
imagine i draw out my kamigawa drakes...
6 life lol...
btw
how many arena to put in a deck?
i'm currenly decking 3..
and anyway to make up for the health lost?
so far i'm using mourning trull but its not so good cause its too weak n eat up my deck space...

btw is the wrath of god + ghostly (the one RFG all ur creatures) combo good?
i'm dcking 4 wrath n 3 of the ghost thing...
but i rarely pull out those...
prefer to blow up my drakes as well...
*
i will play 4 arena, it just win u games, and the way to gain back life is through faith fetters, a removal n life gain in 1. u might wan to play debtor's knell for finisher as well, imagine bringing back angel of despair every turn...hehe

edit: btw ghostway is a situational card, sometimes good sometimes bad...

wanna ask...
if i summon a yosei with another on field...
then both goes to grave rite...
my opponent will skip 1 or 2 untap phase?
i think it should be 2 rite...
then if i use 2 debtor's knell after that to bring those back...
is this posible? and continue the lock...

u r rite, 2 untap phase tat is. n it is possible to continue the lock forever if u did tat.

i thot of a new concept using orochi leafcaller and all forest to produce white n black mana...
is this recomendable?
wuts the ratio of forests, swmaps n plains u would recommend for this setup?
*
orochi leafcaller is not recommended at all, bird of paradise is 1000 times better, but if u r goin for black green white, i would recommend sakura tribe elder and kodama's reach, and at least 10-12 dual/pain lands for a stable 3 color mana base

u only play bird when u play hypnotic specters or other solid 3 drop

oh sakura n reach can't fetch duals...btw if u play bird then kodama's reach is not needed, 8 accelerators are enuf.

i tried my first game of casual drafting today and it was a total disaster sad.gif

i got nervous mid-way through the draft since i was really slow. so eventually i just picked whatever cards that suited my colour. i ended up with a blue-black deck which couldn't decide whether it's a control or aggro deck. sigh.

ipoh players aren't that friendly either especially to noobs so i was rather made fun of also. sigh cry.gif
*
haha...poor little guy....once upon a time ago those players tat think they "pro" also make fun of me. Just prove ur strength to them, i mean practice n practice until u are good, and prove them wrong, shame on them! at least this is wat i did tongue.gif

ooo... where can i get more info on that? can't seem to find anything on the official site. was wondering if there would be any trials here in ipoh laugh.gif

btw guys, i was wondering what good cards should i try to get which would be beneficial in the long run? birds? wrath? painlands?
*
the 1st trial would be on tomolo, sunday.....i'm sure ipoh will have it's own trial, as well as penang....Most probably it will be within this few coming weeks.

Card tat beneficial for the long run, bird, wrath, pain lands, dual lands, specters, savannah lions, isamaru, burning tree shaman, kokusho, meloku, pithing needle, cranial extraction, umezawa's jitte, loxodon hierarch, dark confidant, gifts ungiven, char.

all this is standard t2 and had been and will be played in extended as well. as for uncommon there is putrefy, lightning helix, mortify

for extended there is chrome mox, sword of fire n ice, orim's chant, isochron scepter, cabal therapy, eternal witness, psychatog, life from the loam, call of the herd, troll ascetic ,ravager, blinkmoth nexus, all those sac lands,

magic addict: currently i have 2 standard deck, 1 of them if BG aggro/control, another is eminent domain, and my gruul beats is 90% complete as of now....before guildpact, soemtimes i play monogreen elves deck(which can do 4th turn kill), but after guildpact electrolyze makes the deck unplayable, too many 1/1s in there(llanowar elves, elves of deep shadow, wood elves)lolx...

the current stat of my gruul beats,

4 bird of paradise
4 llanowar elves
4 dryad sophisticaed
4 burning tree shaman
2 giant solifuge
4 rumbling slum

3 moldervine cloak
2 umezawa's jitte
3 might of oaks
4 char
4 shock

3 stomping ground
4 karplusan forest
2 skarrg, the rage pits
7 forest
6 mountain

i feel tat the deck is a bit creature light, thinking of replacing bird with kird ape, and replace shock with scab clan mauler....wat do u think?

QUOTE(magic-addict @ Mar 26 2006, 12:53 PM)
cdwk: I think frenzied goblin is important. Which cards you wanna take out i am not so sure. As you can see, in one of the vids in PT Honolulu, Heezy actually used frenzied goblin to make 3 of the opponent's creatures unable to block his creatures then deliver an attack to drop his opponent's life to 0. I actually subbed out frenzied goblin for birds at first, but really in t2 environment now, rg is just brainless swing. Most of the time, these utility creatures are used to instead block opponents, thus not allowing them to be alive for more than 3 - 4 rounds. Birds or llanowar elves kenot work in rg.

For anyone who is thinking of buying jitte, I also suggest that instead of putting jitte...which is pro metagame ( means following the current metagame) why not you put manriki gusari, which is anti metagame. Destroy jitte or any artifacts. Then you can sub out tin street hooligan or any artifact removal.
*
okay, finally i build a deck similar to the PT honolulu champion decklist....

4 frenzied goblin
4 kird ape
4 scorced rusalka
4 scab clan mauler
4 dryad sophisticated
4 bt shaman
4 giant solifuge

3 moldervine cloak
4 char
2 might of oaks

4 stomping ground
4 karplusan forest
2 skarrg, the rage pits
6 forest
7 mountain

Sideboard:
2 rumbling slum
1 moldervine cloak
4 Tin Street Hooligan
2 Flames Of The Blood Hand
3 Naturalize
3 Umezawa's Jitte

the onli difference is i change the flames to might of oaks thumbup.gif

jitte in the sideboard is to fight aggro mirror.....

this deck goldfish in 4th turn if got 4th turn might....hehe

btw magic-addict u looking for gifts?i have 3, letting go for good price onli

ashburn: i think he stop 3 of his opponent creture from blocking with 3 of his frenzied goblin....

Guenhwyvar: the best card against enchantment/artifact is still naturalize, u may consider rending vines if u play control deck, where ur hand size will always be large, or creeping mold if u wanna play land d combo


and some happy news to share with every1!!!! last sunday i got myself 3 byes for this coming GP KL!!!!

grats...
haha can tell the story on the the match progress?
*
hmmm...ok let's share this since i'm free, day 1 i am doing quite bad with 4-3-0. This means I got to win all 5 matches to ensure top 8 at day 2.

day 2 sure is my lucky day, earl in the morning i get BYE for round 8(which is 1st round of day 2). Then round 9 my opponent got mana screwed...lucky streak. Then after that is constructed T2 portion, Round 10 i played agaisnt a very good opponent, i make mistake on game 2 and lost, but game 3 i come back, again, luck me.

Round 11 is my favourite match during the whole Nationals, during game 2, I have 2 Dark confidant in play, life is 4-3(me-opponent). During my upkep the 1st card i reveal, remand bring me down to 2 life, guess wat's the next card reveal, sensei's divining top!!, then i get down to 1 life and swing with both my dark confidant for the win. 4 lucky matches in a row!

The last round of swiss is against the popular Terry Soh, actually he got enuf point for top 8 edi(he paired down to me), but he can't offer me the win because he got to beat me, so tat his brother joe soh got the chance to go top 8. It's quite a boring matches coz we both play control, and any1 who knows magic well knows how boring a control mirror will be. In the end I beat him 2-1, and seeded 3rd for swiss rounds.

Top 8 i got eliminated rite away. End of story...

I tot tat is all, then i go home and sleep, then my frens tell me i missed the top 8 ceremony and photo taking session....hahaha
