I play a Massive Squirrel deck that makes lots of token squirrels, then sacs them with Phyrexian Alter to generate a large amount of mana, then play stream of life.

Christopher, why do you hate squirrels?

Well I had hope to get to the new comic stripes like I enjoyed Valkyrie when I went to other Keenspace forum. But being free I guess you take what you can get and just be happy about it.

I just played Magic the Gathering my first time today during 3rd period.
I like it but i'm still not totally sure on all the rules.
I was using someones dark deck

[Ajcg51]

I used to just collect the cards... the game itself never really interested me... so now I've got loads of cards that about 8 years ago I saw in glass cases for $20 each... (well certain ones...)

oh, does anyone know whether the issue 500 (Death of Superman) comic is valuable? glow in the dark cover art? I saw it on QVC for

[Burtonos]

well, it was alot easier before the, what is it....snow covered lands? the new rules are crap!!

[Futaba]

wonder if it will be monday or if we'll have to wait a whole nother week to see how the Valkyrie changes back. Or perhaps told she won't untiil full mission is done.

Looks like our little Valkyrie got the boot this week.

Despite what anime taught you villians don't go down with one blow.

Anyone got suggestions for a combo water and dark deck? Or even just for a newbie assembling her first deck that doesn't know what a good number for different stuffs would be?^^^; (ie, creature to mana to spell ratios...or deck size...)

Been awhile since I played, but...how about this, assuming yer not restricted by their current "deck format" rules:

make a more-or less standard Rain Dance deck (4squirtle/3War-T/2 or 3 classic Blastoise, 4magicarp/3 classic gyarados), add 4 sneasel/nyuuri (^_^), 4 dark energy, 4 pkmn breeder, 4 pkmn finder(name? lets you search for evolves?), 4 Rainbow energy(maybe), some heal items (pref Berries or moomoo milk), and the clefairy(?) from one of the neo sets that lets you search deck for basic energy; 4 nightly garbage run, 4 prof elm...decks have to be exactly 60 cards, normal distro is at least 20 energy for monocolor, 25+ for multicolor...for this, i'd say 20 water (raindance is best with solid water), 4 dark, 4 rainbow maybe...if you need to fill space, use feraligator line if you have the room (4/3/2 setup), with the one that makes you discard energy...use the attack, ngr to shuffle energy back in, the clefairy or elm gets it out again, blastoise to put all water en. in your hand onto any pkmn in play (Rain Dance eliminates 1 energy per turn limit for water en on water pkmn)...i call it "inifinite recursion raindance" ^_^ if you don;t like fgater, use powerful water basics like articuno...oh yeh, try and have a good dozen+ basics, unless you like pulling mulligans >_<

for other decks if you have older cards: classic alakazam (damage swap) deck - 3 zams, big guys to "hold" damage, pkmn centers, and sabrina's(?) golduck (attack removes 1 damage counter from each of yours, puts them on target...this effectively bypasses ALL defenses except for the dreaded "baby defense" >_<...so damage swap so there's 1 counter on each, and BEWM)...Slowking to prevent enemy from using Trainers, and classic mr.mime and mewtwos of your choice to layeth the smacketh down
