Magic the Gathering: Want Serra Avatar

[Mystria]

I think you get the idea of this thread. If it's all bad, then I apoligize.

[Dragoon Tony]

I have Serra Angel, but I don't know what a Serra Avatar is...

[Crono789]

It costs around mana, is in urzas saga, and has power and toughness equal to your life total. Thats scary, knowing i havent played in 2 years....

I think I had 2 of them at one point. I haven't cracked my binder open
in months so I think I just have one now. You never need more than one
SA anyway. Unless someone is playing with graveyard removal, but at
the time there really wasn't much of that. Not like there is now anyway. I
haven't played Magic since they ended the beta for Magic:Online. I
will not play over retail prices for cards that do not physically exist. Magic
takes too much money and time to stay current and I have better things to
do now. I made a vow to never sell my collection though, because I
always figure I would regret it one day if I did that.

I agree. Magic wastes your money. I wonder how much my 4th edition stasis is worth?

[Prince of Lemuria]

I voted that I had no idea what Mystria is talking about, but now I guess I do.

[Crono789]

Im glad.

around 3.50

I stopped playing when I got a job in June of this year. All of the good players spent tons of money which was something I didn't have. I kinda want to go play some more drafts, but I am not really serious anymore. BTW I don't have one and what are you using it for? A sneak attack deck?

Sneak Attack was the obvious combo, but I found it could be useful in
recursion decks as well. Too bad they banned Survival of the Fittest.
Rec/Sur was my favorite deck ever.

Survival was banned for a reason. What is with the types now? What can be used in extended and type 2?

[Crono789]

I dont know. I quit right before apocalypse came out. Serra Avatar is the typical n00b dream card.

Drafting was fun, after my suicide black deck fell through i wasted all my money on drafting, lost it all since i sucked, and quit soon after.

I can't remember anymore. If you really have to know you can check on the
web somewhere, but I do know that extended is now basically Tempest onwards
I think. I know they removed Ice-age block and everything before that, including
dual-lands. I can't remember if they left in Mirage block or not. Sucky. All I know
is that now I'm one of those guys who grumbles about the good old days, even
though when I started playing it was not the old days haha. Oh yeah, Dark Ritual=
Banned. I don't know if you knew that or not. Bascially Black=Dead. No suicide black
for you.

[Knight of Lodis]

I thought dark was legal in type 1. Ino its banned in extended.

It's probably restricted in Type 1. I never paid too much attention to
that list because I don't have the cards for it. You could just make your
favorite neutered decks by putting in one of every restricted search card
and mana accelerant and call it type one I suppose. Bah. All I know is that
the developers need to test the cards a little more so they don't have to go on
these banning sprees whenever a good deck comes along. Just when you find
a good combo or a fun deck they kill it or errata it. It gets hard to remember
what card does what and how many of what you can have in your deck.

[Crono789]

Ritual is no more in standard?

No more duals? Good, they were too expensive anyway.
