[OOC] Ravnica: A Magic RP

[PrivateVentures]

@JaceBeleren I think I forgot to mention my intentions for Pavara's cutlass. Basically, it's an artifact equipment with a "tap an equal amount of mana as the spell you you're countering costs"

Or, on second thought, could it be a free "Tap= counter target spell with converted mana cost of 1"?

In summation, I wanted a small spell counter for the first round, just for a little surefire self defense.

@PrivateVentures

Force spike exists

Plus if you can make equipment cards....

Izzet just got broken.

Time for my Free Black Lotus
And an Artifact that allows me to Channel
Then all I need is fireball

But in actually that begs the question. Why do you need a surefire way of getting a free counterspell. Very much so if its the first drop of the game. Theres a reason this game doesn't include tapping artifacts for counters for free.

They break the colour pie. If a golgari can counterspell thats going to be a problem

Seeing how most of you seem to be actual players, I'll have to play against you guys sometime... >:D

So on that note, what format do you guys play? Any specific places? (IRL only, Untap.in, another website)

@Ryougu

I play my Magic at my FNM or where I go to study.

Commander/standard/MoJoSo/ are my prime formats.

Personally never use online. though I have played MTG over skype (it was funny and enjoyable)

[Gemini Token]

@1Charak2xD yeah. It was sorta a grand idea that I didn't expect to stick. Just something I added just to be there. Though my 5-second thought process went something like taking a planar portal to ravnica just to end up being a prime subject for momir vig. A horror is exactly what I was going for, maybe just end up a mutilated vedalken

@Ryougu I've only played IRL or on cockatrice, but I've played a little of everything. The current standard is the only thing I've yet to play as I'm behind on the kaladesh sets xD.

[The Red Seelie]

Okay I've tried Untap.in and it reminds me of Magic Online.

So sure I guess I could do what I love to do.
Make lore themed commander decks.

[Ryougu]

@1Charak2
Well, I recently made my first commander deck (I have pretty much only stuck to casual play) And I'd love to try it against someone with experience in commander to get some good feedback. So if you ever find yourself having the time...

[JaceBeleren]

@Gemini Token Yeah a Phyrexian isn't going to work, though I guess you already figured that.

@PrivateVentures As has already been said, reusable counterspells don't exist in magic for a reason. Maybe instead a mana cost to tap a creature, like Icy Manipulator?

@1Charak2 For the created artifacts, I was thinking that you use mana cost/effect/etc. of existing cards but make item/appearance/etc. your own. The roleplay aspects are original, the statisitcal aspects are not. Created artifacts will have an "activation cost", i.e. They work like normal spells except they exist outside of duels, and can be used for whatever the item is (such as the cutlass chopping people).

@Ryougu I don't play magic all too often, when I do it's either at FNM or game days. Pretty much completely standard, though I've been thinking about making a commander deck (I do have an idea in mind).

[JaceBeleren]

Reminder: I won't be able to reply from tomorrow until Sunday, due to being in Rome.

[Ryougu]

@JaceBeleren
Anyway, another (earlier) question...I had an idea for a Rakdos character, but since I already have the golgari one...What should I do?
Should I just stuff the Rakdos idea up my ****?

[JaceBeleren]

@Ryougu Since I'll be closing further applications on Tuesday (and launching the rp) I'd say go ahead and make the character, but if anyone new wants the slot between now and then, they get priority. Same goes for anyone else who wants a second character in Orzhov/Azorius. If these are not taken by either new or current players, there will be GMPCs to fill them. Don't worry about that.

@Ryougu

Do you have a live chat method like discord (does not have to be voice chat. but like a live feed of text is usually better for these.)

Orzhovia you say?
Black white you say?

did somebody say

DEATH AND TAXS

[Ryougu]

@1Charak2
I do happen to have discord, though I think that for further conversation on this topic PMs might be appropriate.

[PrivateVentures]

@JaceBeleren I'm A-okay with mimicking Icy Manipulator's effect.

[PrivateVentures]

@1Charak2 Actually, there are some free casts out there. Accorder's Shield comes to mind. But, I really just wanted to make sure I wouldn't get nailed right off the bat with a single drop damage spell, or at least had a way to resist it, as Dimir really do not have any single-mana spells.

@PrivateVentures

*Last tiem I checked this is magic. People shrug off getting struck by lightning all the time*

[PrivateVentures]

@1Charak2 Well yeah, doesn't mean they like it. If they could have deflected it, they probably would've.

Plus, tanking a lightning bolt is so... un-Dimir.

Way more fitting to counter it.

[Raijinslayer]

@RyouguI have an UNtapped account. but have never really touched it. Also, I don't really have any clue about the specific formats, just been playing friends with any cards that we had on hand. Been interested in playing commander sometime though, as it seems like everyone and their mother who I talk to about magic has played in that format.

[PrivateVentures]

@Raijinslayer Commander is fun. Another place Blue/Black is excessively overpowered, though. constant kills and counters make the mind go funny.

I typically just play casually, with my friends and my wife. She runs Black/White, though, so I tend to get my ass extorted back to me.
