I knew I shouldn't have...Follow

...let my roommates talk me into building an MTG deck. Ordered my first set of cards today(played with some they already had) and can't get over the fact that I spent more than twice as much on shipping as I did on cards.

If you talk to my roommates, apparently(to them at least), it's all about exploiting strange *** combinations that allow for you to utterly destroy your opponents in painful and embarrassing ways(Manabarbs with some card that you can use to be exempt from its affectEdit: Sundial of the Infinite, for instance).


Oh, and since you're awake, look what just happened in my town.

If you like Aggravated Assault, you'd get a kick out of World at War. Same thing but it works for two turns, if I'm reading it correctly.

And you weren't kidding about power creep. Had a game where I had something like 96 health and got beat down in a single turn. Sadly, I would have won the next turn, too, if I had just lasted long enough to manage to pop off those two War Reports and Ajani's -6 ability...woulda left me with a 114/114 token creature, assuming he'd managed to get me down to 1 health.

It is all about Wrath of God card...

That's a funny way to spell Goblin Grenade.

It's even funnier as a third turn play, dropping three of them at once. The look on your opponent's face is priceless.

If you're talking about the Wrath of God card, you should check the version. If it's the Alpha or Beta version, it's currently listed as well over $100 on one of the websites I frequent.
