Magic the Gathering with Serb

[Serb]

Ok, my dear Westerns!
Now you have a chance to kick that dumb Serb's ass!
If you are smart enough, of course, to play that game (which is the greatest invention since chess and poker).
You can download it here:

Then click on the crossed swords icon at the right upper coner to direct challenge me and type there my nickname: Serb (of course).
And if you are already playing - post your nicks here in this thread, so I could challenge you there, when you are online.


Come on! Come get some!!!

Prove that you are smarter than Serb!

[Serb]

Oh, I forgot to mention, the game is free of course!
If you don't trust my link (for whatever insane western reasons), just type in the Google: "Magic the gathering online", download it and follow the instructions above to challenge Serb.

Is it pay to win?

I use a Mac, but I played the paper game several times.

I haven't paid a penny so far, but having a great fun!

I found that game thanks to advertising on youtube a couple of weeks ago and never regret it!
I did play MtG in old good 90's for a while in a single mode, if you remember that computer game, but playing vs. real people is way more fun!!!
Sure we have a Wizards of the Coast shop here, where you can play a paper version vs. real people, but I have no to time to play a paper MtG live, I work all the time, except when I am drunk and post here

My understanding is that it is like the paper game. If you pay the entrance to a draft (for example) you will be at the same level as everyone else who is playing draft. It seems that lots of people play draft. I watch them on twitch occasionally, when I am tired and have read all the articles I want to, and if you win 2 out of 3 games in a draft you get enough 'points'/etc to enter a new draft (+ a little).

So I think if you are good you can probably play quite a bit without paying much.

Also, building a deck on MtG online for most formats is cheaper than in paper (vintage/etc by a lot).

You get boosters everyday for wining ranked games and fulfilling a quests, so you can build a strong deck for free with time. And you are earning gold to participate in drafts and other events.

It's a great game, really!
The best invention since chess and holdem!

[Jon Miller]

Drafting Cube seems to me to be great fun and isn't something I have ever done in paper (And seems likely to be quite rare in paper).

JM

[Jon Miller]

I have thought about trying to get it working in a virtual machine/wine/etc.

I am not a pro and don't know what is "Drafting Cube", but trust me the drafts there is fun!
As well, as regular games or the events they have there!
They have a very fun events, really!
But, even a regular ranked games are fun and addictive as hell!

[Jon Miller]

Usually a draft is from a specific block or set. A cube is a certain number of cards (for example 360 or 720) from any block/set but that is defined for that block. So you can get interesting card interactions that you wouldn't normally have in a normal booster draft, block draft, standard/modern/vintage constructed or any other format. In some way it is maybe closer to what you would have in a casual setting where people only spent on MtG at certain times and so do not have the meta of modern/standard/vintage/etc.

Also, the draft part means that you get to do deck design and deck play at the same time.

Ok, now I get it, thanks!
They have that kind of fun over there!
I got one of my legendary plane walkers in one of such events.
