May I change the color of the user box? I'm more of a Blue mage. Zulu Inuoe 01:18, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure! Actually, that's a pretty good idea, changing it to the color your prefer. I prefer blue myself. --Shadowcrest 01:19, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * If we're doing that then I think we need something more flamboyant than a little thin line. Zulu Inuoe 01:19, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Feel free to help out :P --Shadowcrest  01:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm currently procrastinating some programming homework I'm supposed to turn in today by 12:00 AM, so you understand how perfect this is! Zulu Inuoe 01:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm currently procrastinating the Algebra 2 homework I've blown off the past week or so. Slightly improved. --Shadowcrest 01:25, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Shadow, can I remake your Guildwikian magic card?--[[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]Giga †ħŕášħ 01:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Of course. --Shadowcrest 01:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Just keep the 13/37 part plz ;) --Shadowcrest  01:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * LOL you ppl are very strange :P. I haven't played magic in years... Aggro [[Image:Isk8.png]]  Sk8  02:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Mana Symbol
That alrigh? I'm sure somebody is going to complain about its fair use, but it's on the internet and extremely easily accesible, and we are making no gain at all with it. Zulu Inuoe 01:32, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure. Hey, with your's and Giga's contributions, the box might actually look nice! ;) --Shadowcrest  01:35, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe you guys should use the high-res version for that picture... --Gimmethegepgun 01:37, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm trying to find it...--[[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]Giga †ħŕášħ 01:40, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking of making 5 different cards, one for each color to correspond with the userbox.--[[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]Giga †ħŕášħ 01:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * That'd be pretty cool, tbh. --Shadowcrest 01:45, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Found em --Gimmethegepgun 01:51, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Eh, I'm member of the group, but I only just found out about it! Hehe.
 * Oh, but here's a question to you all... any of you have Magic Workstation? It's a program for playing M:tG online, mostly used for decktesting. If any of you guys have it, or get it, drop me a line, I'd love to play a game with you. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  01:49, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * @ Giga, he (she?) doesn't have all of them uploaded. (unfortunately) --Shadowcrest 01:53, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't have it yet, but I found the high res icons finally, so I'm nearly done.--[[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]<font color="Pink">Giga <font color="Black">†ħŕášħ 02:02, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Leet! Where are they? --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="#FF6699">Shadowcrest 02:04, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Still on my comp, but the link to high res icons is --[[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]<font color="Pink">Giga <font color="Black">†ħŕášħ 02:04, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Or here --Gimmethegepgun 02:16, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Funny, I was going to start Magic Online sometime this week. I was purely a physical player and never went into Online. Zulu Inuoe 02:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't like M:tG Online purely because you've got to buy cards online, I can't afford to build up two collections like that. Workstation's not nearly as simple to use, I don't think, but hey, it's free, and the card library is every card ever printed, so I like using it. Now, if I could get rolling in M:tG Online for free, now, that's a totally different story... --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  02:26, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh I thought you meant it was an attachment for online. Link me and I'll build up a few decks there in a day or two. Zulu Inuoe 02:30, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Magic Workstation
 * The free version is the Evaluation Version, only difference between it and the pay version is card images (not important), and a few solo testing options (also not important). Oh, and a "do you want to upgrade?" massage when you start it.
 * I've got my current Standard Monoblue Faerie Aggro/Control deck in there, as well as, like, five decks I possibly plan to make someday. Monoblack Faerie Rogue Beatdown anyone? --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  03:05, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I've been using Magic Workstation for about two years now. This is so pro. :D [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 03:17, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Drop me a line if you want a game, dude. Hey, if you've got XFire, send me a message, even better. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  03:24, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

There done
I will be uploading them and creating more userboxes, prepare for RC spam.--<font color="Pink">Giga <font color="Black">†ħŕášħ 02:53, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Felix's Deck
I guess I'll be the first one to post my actual deck. This consists of the majority of the physical cards that I still actually own; the rest, I gave to my brother. I'm going to leave it in MWS format, which will cause some goofy wiki effects, but it's neatly organized so it's alright.

// Lands 15 [A] Island (2) 4 [TSP] Terramorphic Expanse 1 [UNH] Plains

// Creatures 1 [JU] Wonder 2 [TSP] Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir 4 [VI] Man-o'-War

// Spells 4 [MR] Isochron Scepter 4 [AL] Force of Will 3 [US] Arcane Laboratory 4 [TE] Counterspell 1 [RAV] Remand 1 [MI] Enlightened Tutor 1 [6E] Mystical Tutor 3 [PS] Orim's Chant 4 [CH] Boomerang 4 [9E] Mana Leak 4 [IA] Brainstorm

It's T1 and T1.5 legal. The point of the deck is to lock down the opponent by imprinting instants to Scepters; Orim's Chant is ideal if I have the Plains out, because a kicker cost may be paid when the card is played through Sceptre. Otherwise, I can imprint Counterspell or Boomerang which, combined with Arcane Laboratory, will provide a complete lockdown. Once I have the opponent's options locked, all I have to do is wait to draw Teferi, which will then beat my opponent to death. If Wonder's in the graveyard, so much the better. It's a fairly dependable deck, but more importantly, it's a very fun deck. 03:38, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Nice... I don't have many opponents for Extended or Legacy, so nearly all of my decks are Standard-format. But I've had an old Elf deck since I started playing... currently it's an EDH deck (with Eldamri as the general), but I might remake it sometime. I have an Extended-legal one on Workstation I believe.
 * Hmm, let me post up my current Standard deck... won a few tournaments with it so far, small stack of FNM promo cards thanks to it... --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  05:13, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Jio's deck
Here's my current Standard deck... I'm primarily a Green player, but hell, Blue is so much fun...

...this is actually a really strong metagame deck at the moment; I generally don't follow the metagame decks, I prefer to play rogue, but in my defense, I originally built this before it became one of the big archetypes. :D

>> Monoblue Fae Aggro/Control
 * Creatures:


 * x4 Cloud Sprite
 * x4 Spellstutter Sprite
 * x4 Pestermite
 * x4 Scion of Oona
 * x4 Vendillion Clique (don't actually have these yet)
 * x3 Mistbind Clique


 * Other Spells:


 * x4 Ponder
 * x3 Boomerang
 * x3 Faerie Trickery
 * x3 Psionic Blast


 * Lands:


 * x4 Desert
 * x1 Pendelhaven
 * x3 Faerie Conclave
 * x16 Island

It's a strong control deck in the format; Plenty of counterspells (the Spellstutter Sprites counter spells when they come into play), bounce, tap effects, and best of all, nearly every creature in the deck has Flash, so you never have to commit on your own turn. I've won so many games even when the opponent had the advantage, simply because I can throw down threats when they're tapped out, and get rid of their threats temporarily or permanently, when they least expect it. --<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  05:42, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It amazes me how honestly nub I am at this :P
 * Does anyone else think Rimefeather Owl is OP? --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="#FF6699">Shadowcrest  20:29, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * How so? By OP you mean overpowered, right? Zulu Inuoe 22:15, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes. While I'm asking questions (questions ftw), can someone explain mana burn to me? I read the manual but it didn't make much sense to me, I usually understand things better when people say them. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="#FF6699">Shadowcrest 22:17, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * If you have any unspent mana at the end of your turn it burns you for 1 per mana. Hence mana burn.  Lets say I tapped Simic Growth Chamber (+G&U) and a Forest (+G), then I played Thrive (XG) and payed 1 for X.  I have one floating blue mana which I have not spent, at the end of my turn it burns me for one, and then goes away.--[[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]<font color="Pink">Giga <font color="Black">†ħŕášħ  22:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
