― Mordy, Monday, 12 December 2011 01:38 (twelve years ago) link
it appears that there is a mac version!
― iatee, Monday, 12 December 2011 01:38 (twelve years ago) link
i'm loading it right now.
― Mordy, Monday, 12 December 2011 01:39 (twelve years ago) link
do i need to download decks to get this to work?
― Mordy, Monday, 12 December 2011 01:41 (twelve years ago) link
no, we make decks, tho there might be some somewhere if we want to use those?
let's bring this to gchat = my real first name w/ an extra e in front
― iatee, Monday, 12 December 2011 01:42 (twelve years ago) link
lol i know i didn't play at all last time we did this but i just dl'd cockatrice...this is really easy to use for deckbuilding!
― cad, Monday, 12 December 2011 01:43 (twelve years ago) link
I actually liked mws better for deckbuilding but this is wayyyy less buggy / 100x easier to setup
― iatee, Monday, 12 December 2011 01:44 (twelve years ago) link
I'm gonna download the hell out of this Cockatrice
― moonbop, Monday, 12 December 2011 01:52 (twelve years ago) link
hey iatee, i msg'd you my gmail name if you mind adding me. i'm trying to get cockatrice working but it's a little confusing
― Mordy, Monday, 12 December 2011 01:53 (twelve years ago) link
if you don't mind
ya I added you, I can prob help you if you're stuck
― iatee, Monday, 12 December 2011 01:55 (twelve years ago) link
ok i got this going and made a deck in 5 mins. anyone want to play tomorrow night, 8 or 9 ish?
― cad, Monday, 12 December 2011 02:48 (twelve years ago) link
ya most likely can! this is pretty easy to play and setup the only drawback is the deck builder
― iatee, Monday, 12 December 2011 02:52 (twelve years ago) link
cool i'll check in on this thread tomorrow. what don't u like about the deckbuilder?
― cad, Monday, 12 December 2011 03:05 (twelve years ago) link
it's hard to filter cards by sets...or really at all and there's no sealed generator. we just put in some old world championship decks.
― iatee, Monday, 12 December 2011 03:09 (twelve years ago) link
yeah you would have to do the filtering in gatherer and then just pull the cards you wanted in cockatrice i guess. a sealed generator would be nice
― cad, Monday, 12 December 2011 03:12 (twelve years ago) link
everything else is better than mws tho. anyway I'm glad people are up for games again.
― iatee, Monday, 12 December 2011 03:16 (twelve years ago) link
you can generate sealed decks using this thing: http://ccgdecks.com/sealed_gen.php
tho i'm not sure they have all sets
― cad, Monday, 12 December 2011 03:17 (twelve years ago) link
lol I tried that already it kinda sucks
are you on a mac? I think there are some you can dl
― iatee, Monday, 12 December 2011 03:19 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i am on a mac
― cad, Monday, 12 December 2011 03:20 (twelve years ago) link
hmmm I'm sure we'll figure it out
can also just pick cool premade decks
― iatee, Monday, 12 December 2011 03:22 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i whipped up a deck based on one of my old irl decks
― cad, Monday, 12 December 2011 03:25 (twelve years ago) link
i want 2 fuc w/this but this week is crazy busy for me
― є(٥_ ٥)э, Monday, 12 December 2011 03:55 (twelve years ago) link
i'll get in on this at some point. what format/sets do you guys want to use? you gotta limit me or i'm gonna be coming at you with Knight of the Reliquary
― smh, Monday, 12 December 2011 04:27 (twelve years ago) link
well my comfort zone consists of everything through weatherlight but i'm adaptable
― cad, Monday, 12 December 2011 05:00 (twelve years ago) link
i would love to play some innistrad w/ whoever -- maybe draft?
― Mordy, Monday, 12 December 2011 05:00 (twelve years ago) link
yeah id like to try innistrad as well if only to prevent from allocating sparse dollars to this junk irl
― є(٥_ ٥)э, Monday, 12 December 2011 05:14 (twelve years ago) link
haha yeah as much as I like magic there is no way I would invest any real life money on these pieces of paper, that's why playing online is cool. I look forward to owning u all as I did w/ mordy tonight. (4-0)
― iatee, Monday, 12 December 2011 06:24 (twelve years ago) link
ayo
― cad, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 02:04 (twelve years ago) link
hey dude, I am up for playing but I actually have to go to a more stable internet connection which means I can do it in like 10 mins? msg me your gmail
― iatee, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 02:20 (twelve years ago) link
k i sent it
― cad, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 02:21 (twelve years ago) link
cockatrice is awesome! ppl need to get on this shit
― cad, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 03:55 (twelve years ago) link
i wish ppl had posted more cool old cards itt or debated which colors are cool. wanted someone to go to bat for an artifact deck
― є(٥_ ٥)э, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 05:57 (twelve years ago) link
haha sorry for taking it over
artifact decks, at least in classic era magic, just can't put up a fight
later in the game you could build decks around them tho...I think there was an artifact-y set?
― iatee, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 06:00 (twelve years ago) link
http://static.starcitygames.com/sales/cardscans/MAGREV/nevinyrrals_disk.jpg
such a rad card
― є(٥_ ٥)э, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 06:02 (twelve years ago) link
http://www.coolstuffinc.com/images/Products/mtg%20art/Antiquities/Mishra
cool card iirc
― iatee, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 06:02 (twelve years ago) link
do you know about the title of that card lamp?
antiquties is basically an artifact set and its really really early ~~ i think any of the subsequent sets built around the urza/mishra mythos are artifact based?? idk tho
― є(٥_ ٥)э, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 06:03 (twelve years ago) link
nah I meant one of the mid-period sets, let me look it up
― iatee, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 06:04 (twelve years ago) link
which card? i have imgs off and the link for yours wont work. the other one is larry nevin spelt backwards - i guess the idea for the card came from one of his books
― є(٥_ ٥)э, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 06:05 (twelve years ago) link
haha yeah that's what I meant
― iatee, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 06:05 (twelve years ago) link
mine was mishra's factory
what's w/ these sites and the squirrels
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirrodin_(Magic:_The_Gathering)
this is the one I was thinking of
― iatee, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 06:07 (twelve years ago) link
overall I think w/ the early sets there are a handful of great artifacts but they don't add up to anything killer on their own
later in the game you get stuff like this and suddenly artifacts can fuck people up

― iatee, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 06:24 (twelve years ago) link
haha academy and tinker are banned in every format pretty much
the urza block really fucked up the game, there were like 20 different cards that led to turn 1-2 kill combos
― smh, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 06:26 (twelve years ago) link
man i just got sucked into looking through the cards in the urza's saga set there are some p amazing cards geez
― є(٥_ ٥)э, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 06:28 (twelve years ago) link
the thing abt early artifacts is that shit like the mox gems and sol ring and obv black lotus are sorta rad w/o needing to combo w/other shit, theyre just inherently rad
i mean i guess this is really obv but as the game progresses cards are so much more impt in context of other cards whereas early on cards are just facevalue powerful
― є(٥_ ٥)э, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 06:30 (twelve years ago) link
basically every time they make an artifact themed block the game breaks and they have to ban stuff, its kind of funny at this point
