Hello Again

[Crackdown]

Last message was over 18 months ago and so was last login I suspect.

So, what's happened in the interim?

One of my sons has taken up with the game again, albeit on a very casual basis. His last cards came from Invasion. Basically, he gave it up due to the costs associated with trying to get cards to play.

Any suggestions?

Play creature-themed decks. Onslaught has paved the way for such decks to be decent.

Look on eBay or other online shops to see if you can get bunches of commons for cheap.

Well, if costs are your problem, get cards for an elf deck and watch them blast away at lightning speed. ^^

I built an elf deck, and same as any green weenie deck, as long as no world kill is played, you will pretty much grow an army faster than a lab full of stoned test rabbits.

You do realize that elves reproduce faster than stoned test rabbits on viagra don't you... they're simply overwhelming!!!

Rabbit + Viagra + Other Rabbit = 2,000,984,098,442,450 rabbits in just...TWO FRIGGEN DAYS!!!

And still, elves are faster...

I'll have to whip my Elf deck out and take a look at how fast it is...as far as I can remember it has about thirty creatures, fifteen land, and fifteen groovy utility cards (such as for of Train's fav. card, Coat). Mana Elves help to produce massive critter counts by turn three, Llanowar Sentinels help keep the numbers up. Elvis Riders are just cool to have out, Repopulates, keep the burried numbers coming back for more, and having a Coat (or two) in play will guarantee swift victory in even a five-player game...

"...each one gets +10/+10?!?!?"

Some recent things Onslaught did to make your opponent cuss you out when playing your elf deck:

-Voice of the Woods (now that I have 20 elves I guess I'll grow some trees...)
-Heedless One (who says elves can't be fat?)
-Wellwisher (just TRY to hurt me!)
-Elvish Vangaurd (another fat elf, and fast)
-Wirewood Lodge (Titania and wellwishers love these)

and let's not forget everyone's most hated elf card:

-Slate of Ancestry (goes good with all that elf mana)

Hell yeah!!!

Got Coat?!!! - Whoah! - that's advertising genius!!!

Yes it is that strong... what's cool is running it with Kobolds.... man you get some disgusted looks from players when this happens!!!

As for the tribal powers of elves - they're probably the strongest...

>As for the tribal powers of elves - they're probably the strongest...

train wouldn't know this directly though, because he always gets too distracted by his second turn Elvish Ranger to keep playing. Bad train!!!

Well, the high-speed aspects of Elves are great - They work great in my Wurm deck, but I've always been partial to Goblins. They can reproduce at some pretty quick rates - Goblin Marshall, MogPoacher, Goblin Warrens, Goblin Scouts - plus lots of cards to enhance them like Goblin King, Goblin Shaman, and of course, Coat.

Also, if you've got a Blood Moon in play you can do some sick things...

"...okay, your Maze of Ith is now a Mountain - I attack w/ 144 points of unblockable damage..."
