  • Uncle Mark’s Make-a-New-Format Contest and MWS Tournament [Vote]

    If you have no idea what I am talking about, you can find the previous thread here.

    Okay! Now we get to vote on what format YOU would like to play with. Write-in votes are accepted too.

    Here’s what the formats are:

    Mini Epic: (Thought up by Falsenipple) This format is: at the beginning of every player’s upkeep, a 1 mana Sorcery or Instant of their choice will be put on the stack. You pick the Sorcery/Instant before the tournament starts, and must stick with it through each round. The 1 mana I/S can be countered, however, it doesn’t count towards storm. Extended banlist.

    Auction of the GG/Mythbusters: This is actually two of RHat’s great ideas rolled into one. The “Mythbusters” part of the format is that every deck in the tournament must include at least 16 Legends, and have no creatures, artifacts or enchantments without the Legendary supertype. Legacy Banlist.

    The Auction of the GG side of the equasion is that selected GG forumgoers will create decklists to be put into the decklist “pool”, given the Mythbusters deck restrictions. Players in the tournament will bid in MT2 Chat on the decklists that they want from that pool. If that’s not possible, I’ll randomly number players in the tournament and let them choose the decklists they want in order.

    Paint Drops: (Thought up by Palemage) Only spells with a single colored mana symbol in their mana costs are allowed. In other words, spells with a 3G casting cost can be played. Legacy banlist.

    Potpourri: (Thought up by Spectre) No more than one card from any set is allowed in your deck i.e. 4 Absorb is okay, 1 Absorb/1 Undermine is not. Core sets are banned. Legacy banlist.

    “Look at me, I’m the DCI”: (Thought up by theauthenticsimpsonian) Legacy banlist. Players who will be participating in the tournament send in 3 banned cards and those cards are banned from the format. If there is overlap in chosen banned cards, you won’t get your vote back.

    Sorceries and Basics: (Thought up by Paz) Only sorceries and basic lands allowed. Legacy banlist.

    So get out there and vote GGers! The next thread will be organizing the MWS tournament!

    CHANGE: -1 Potpourri +1 Sorceries and Basics.

  • Uncle Mark’s Make-a-New-Format Contest and MWS Tournament

    Your Duty: Make a new format for Magic: The Gathering that can be played on MWS.

    Details: Essentially, come up with an original Magic: The Gathering format and we will collect the best entries and put them to a vote. Format obviously being the restrictions on which cards can be played, with possible variations and changes to the rules of Magic: The Gathering.

    The winning format will be played in a MWS tournament, the specifics of which will be determined at a later date.

    Restrictions:

    • Try and make the format relatively simple. Nobody wants to memorize the 50 rules that you’ve made up.
    • It has to be playable on MWS. I.E. No manual dexterity cards, no multiplayer formats, no Unglued/Unhinged cards etc.
    • Get it in within the next couple of weeks!

    Prizes:

    • Sense of superiority and entitlement.
    • The incredibly coveted Alfred points.
    • Pictures of Paz naked*

    *May not actually be Paz.

  • ‘Chops: Best of Skeletor

    The first thing I posted on MT was some terrible photoshop of Demon tokens. I think I just added reminder text saying it was a token or something, making fun of the WotC reminder text.

    The second photoshop was the fractal split card. I don’t have the original, but I later redid it using proper frames:

    It was a smash success, and probably the reason I kept posting at MT.

    People also enjoyed this one while Arnold was running for Governor, and there was some scandal about him groping somebody.

    Then I missed so bad with my Goblin Pussy Wagon photoshop that I didn’t even save it.

    Someone responded to this with a clampclamp — an equip that equpped to equips.

    So I did a summationclamp:

    When Daniel Myr was doing MODO stuff, he kept giving us info and retracting it later:

    This was in response to some argument where someone kept calling Goblin Sledder a Mons’ Goblin Raiders or something:

    This was in a “make a card making fun of yourself” thread:

    Nobody found this as funny as I did:

    Random:

    Making fun of card art:

    Random:

    I hoped people would use this to tell people to STFU on the forum, but they didn’t:

    This was during 5th dawn spoilers. I guess we knew it was going to be a weird set. We did not yet know there would be a -1/-1 sunburst creature.

    This was a demonstration of how I keep my life total IRL;

    And this is my fav:

  • Can I Give You Two Life?

    Hi there, friend! Have I got a proposition for you! How would you like to gain two life? You would? Fantastic! Here, take it! I just love to give people life, two points at a time!

    Hey, how about you take two more life? Seriously, I want you to have these two points. I mean, you didn’t pay four mana just for me to show up and say hi. You know I like to hand out life points and I think you’d like to have these. You do want more? Great! Here’s some more life!

    Man, I’m so glad we’ve got this friendship thing going for us. It’s like we just understand each other. I want to give you life and you wan- what’s that? You want me to do what? Put +1/+1 counters on all your creatures? Dude, I’m not here just to wait on you hand and foot. I’ve got my own needs and wants. I mean, sure, I’ll do it for you, but I don’t really dig this violation of our trust. Keep this shit up and you’re going to see a very different Ajani Goldmane.

    Alright, I’m back. What do you want now? I’m not just you’re servant, after all. Oh? You want two life? Awesome! I knew you weren’t going to keep screwing with me! I guess that we can just write off that little counter incident. I mean, what’s a misunderstanding between friends? Take these two life and remember your good friend, Ajani.

    WHAT? You want what? An avatar? Am I not good enough for you? Is my endless stream of two life a turn just not enough to make you happy? Well, I’m sorry I can’t just keep up with your demands. I’m only leonin, you know. Yes, I’ll give you your fucking avatar, but I’m out of here. I hope you two are really happy together. Fuck you.
