new magic idea

[Jon Miller]

apprentice and some other method for giving people cards seem the best option for me

should we have a poll of some sort?

[Urban Ranger]

I wonder why they don't have the more stable older editions for download.

[Daz]

yep. I have a really old one at home that worked just perfectly, although it probably doesnt support the new magic card features....

JM: no poll needed. You try with both, and see which one suits us better.

[Jon Miller]

alright

lets try something

use apprentice to play

buy cards for the price as found on some site (I think we can agree on this)

post the cards you bought

you have $100 (we will add more later)

Jon Miller

[Daz]

ok.

[Daz]

Suitcase can import pricelists to the database.

I suggest this pricelist

Since suitcase can import apprentice cardlists, each of us can use whatever he likes.

I have some meetings to attend but will be back in the afternoon. Seeya with the cardlist.

[Jon Miller]

does that pricelist have all of the cards currently out? (scourge to alpha?)

Jon Miller

[Daz]

I'm back.

Jon, it says last updated on June, 11th, 2003 dammit. Do I have to do everything?!!

100$ may be a tad bit too much for one deck. I suggest we dont use the old broken stes... lets start with Mirage, or Tempest (I started with those...hence I remember them best )

Also, do we pick 60 cards + 15 sideboard?

[Jon Miller]

what I really want is something where people can try multiple decks and have a card set

not just the cards for one deck

hmm, oyu are right though, how things are currently set up people will buy just the cards for one deck

ok, how about this, you have to have

3 times more uncommons than rares
3 times more commons than uncommons

that should make people differentiate and buy a lot of cards

[Jon Miller]

like when I played magic, people I knew had a collection of cards

thety would than make there decks from this collection (the collections were limited by how much they werew willing to spend)

that is what I would like to copy

actually prolbaby what would be best would be to have a 1/2 purchase cards and a 1/2 random draw featuere , but I haven't figured out how to do the random draw feature as of yet

Jon Miller

[Jon Miller]

we could also say that you have to have 400 cards

Jon Miller

[Daz]

Hmmm, thats fine with me. I just need time to look into the new sets, cause I havent played magic in years...

obiwan & UR: any input from you?

[Jon Miller]

60 card decks

the restricted list as done by the magic people

[Ben Kenobi]

I suggest we don't use the old broken sets

Well, I started with Ice Age, so Tempest and Mirage are new sets.

I say use them because we will never get to do so in RL.

The idea of a shopping cart with a certain dollar amount seems to work well, but I agree that 100$ is too much!

My most expensive deck in RL might add up to 40-50 if that since I don't use dual lands.

Let's repeg the deck ideas.

Make three decks for 100$,

1 Common Deck
1 Multi-colour deck
1 Mono-colour deck.

So hop to it!
You have no other restrictions other than the WotC Type 1 restricted list.

What's a common deck? No rares?
