So, someone told me they had more of a right to play my angel deck than I did because they have played angels since the very beginning. They were kinda joking by the way, this is not a serious blog about something angry or mean.

You know.....
That is my tattoo.
I have a seraphim tattoo on my arm (the sword was modeled after a world of warcraft sword) and it has SERAPHIM written down the blade. She is dressed in something similar to Zena's main outfit. I got that tat because my daughter is named Seraphim Angelique. Not to mention one of her nicknames is Sera Angel. 

Yea....I got more of a right to use an angel deck than anyone else! lol. Who else can say they have a huge seraphim tatted on them and they named their daughter Seraphim? That is what I thought! hehe...

Why is it that if two guys play  MTG match they might shake hands and show respect afterwards....yet when a female sweeps the board in wins against a male he gets upset and makes negative, salty comments? Why can't I get a "good game" or "well played" or even just a silent nod signaling respect for the deck I have been working on? No....it is like some shot to the male ego when a female wins and of course it can't be because she played well and kept strategy in mind...no no....It is not just about the cards one has, it is also about how they play them and how they react. I played well, I think, I won every game. Sighs...enough venting

I am thinking I will upload my deck information today/tonight. I don't mind constructive criticism and since I did quit playing MTG for years and just got back into it a few weeks ago I might be missing little things or need some fine tuning. My decks are not done....they are both teenagers pretty much that are not entirely sure what they want to be when they grow up . I have direction for both of them, but I am thinking about the direction of one of them due to some discussions last night and the other just needs some minor tweaking.

Not doing it right now, I need to work on a term paper for college right now and I can't get sidetracked with MTG hehe.

I just did a

We have like 10 boxes of MTG cards, really old ones. Stuff that has been sitting in those boxes for years and we started to organize it. I heard that some cards are pretty expensive, cards that were not as expensive back in the day. So one might think "ohh maybe we have some cards that are worth money" so I got curious and looked up the price of one of those. I cannot believe we own a card that goes for over $1,000 at most stores. Some selling it at almost $2,000. Just one card that costs that much.....just....

If you know MTG you might be able to guess what card this is.... (no it is not from current standard lol) and no we are not selling it

one of the decks he is running has some oldschool dual lands in it that are 80-$200....I don't even know if he realizes one of his decks is valued at hundreds of dollars just because of some freaking land!

ahh...edit edit....So I was doing searches for expensive cards.....thing is we have cards back from when MTG first came out, we have kept them in card boxes so they are all in good condition.....well now I am running into some other cards worth like $200+ and I remember seeing some of these when we started organizing the cards by color type. We have more money in those boxes than we ever realized...that feels kinda awesome!

At this point..I am like ADD with building decks or something rofl....I got back into MTG after years of not playing and not having any of my old cards so I really had to start back up from scratch and find my niche again. After some frustration I am getting some clarity.

I have a mono green deck that is relatively fast, easy mana gain in that.  That is the secondary deck though and not my main focus. I am not excited about it, at least not right now. 

My "main" has become my white/red deck. I dismantled the mono-white and the red/green, combined some of those cards. The red/white is working pretty well for me. It looks lack luster at first because I got weenies coming out, but those weenies go to the gym lol. Lots of counters getting put on them, gaining trample, lifelink (never hurts to have that) and most people want to get rid of my creatures at that point...they are mostly humans....thing is..that is what I want them to do because then I pull out my
 . Returning all of my humans from the graveyard is nice and all, but it is the fact that when I do this I gain counters on all of my creatures equal to how many creatures I put out, I deal direct damage to creature or player for the amount of human cards I have on the field due to my
which I happen to have multiple copies of so lets say I have two vigilante out and I put back 5 humans with glory, that is 10 direct dmg. Tack on my kessig malcontent (when enters battlefield deals dmg to target player equal to number humans I control)....

You get the point....if I am able to do a mass res like that on my humans, it hurts. I have things like
which are used simply to add more counters to all of my creatures. That simple card gives me +3+3 to all of my creatures due to
. I have multiple cards that give me +1 counters when I put creatures out or just for attacking with one of them etc.....I take an army of weenies and turn them into formidable opponents.

I also have
 which really acts to give me more direct dmg towards target creature or player.

In the end....if a player kills my creatures off, they just come back swinging, but if they don't kill my creatures off then my weenies keep getting more beefy. The devil card is not a necessity...I just kinda like him ^^

I have a few angels thrown in right now like Seraph of Dawn. A 2/4 flying with lifelink is nice and I am bias because I have a daughter named Seraphim so I rather like seraph of dawn, seraph sanctuary etc. due to her name hehe. I don't really need that angel and once I get the remaining cards I want for this deck I will probably have to take those out, but for right now if someone takes out any of my angels I have a card to res them from the graveyard with a +1+1 so they get fatter and if my devil is out it just means more direct dmg to target player.

Played against a bunch of people this weekend, almost every day actually. I made someone salty this weekend with this deck Whatever....that only tells me that my deck was doing something right and they were even using proxies in their deck after it was explained that we never use proxies and we would be lenient this time, but no rare proxies were allowed...that person was using rare proxies.
