During this last week, I've become a member of a Game Strategy Club at the college I'm attending. They do all sorts of gaming, from console to trading card games (Magic: The Gathering) and strategy war games (Warhammer). I am returning to playing Magic: The Gathering since I'm no longer a console gamer and I'm not spending well over $60-200 on one figurine for Warhammer (you need a lot of them for squadrons and such). I figured that it would get me away from doing the standard routine of class, eat, room, and sleep, which was beginning to get on my nerves.
I had to break back out my Elf deck to play Magic once again, however to my dismay, the deck is relatively slow by comparison to the new meta and expansions that have been released. The deck I used focused on high mana output to summon big creatures within a 3-4 turn period. However due to the high mana costs of the cards I'm using, sometimes I end up with deficits in my hand and nothing else to use to cast them into play; it's even worse when I can't keep up with other decks due to my lack of responses to cards my opponent uses to devastate me. Many of my cards are 1/1 Elves with low cost (apart from Elvish Piper which is 3G) but they become food for cards like Shinen of Life's Roar, which can cause any creature that is capable of blocking Shinen to do so, so unless you have First Strike, all the creatures' damage happens at once so many of my Elves would die and the Shinen would perish.
My plan... I'd have to put up with little cards like Shinen for a bit but I intend on created a true Elf deck and I'll go into more detail in the next post.
Oh, and with the club that I'm in, you must always sign in before the meeting starts so uh.. the Faustian Pact title is kinda funny (sign away your soul at each meeting, mwahahaha). D:
Anyhow, that'll do it. I'll talk with you all later. Peace.
