Hey, go here:
http://muon.us/mtg/
What is this?
As discussed in the main MTG thread, I'd like to set up PA MTG League for the purposes of testing new decks, trying out new formats, and generally playin' some Magic.
Proposed Setup:
Format:
Rotates each week. List of formats
Meeting Place:
IRC: #pa_mtg on slashnet
Note: If you haven't used IRC before, its probably worthwhile to learn! It is really not that hard and is used for this sort of thing often.
Play:
Free Play:
At any time during the week, join IRC to find an opponent to play with. Playing whatever the format is for the week is encouraged, but by no means necessary. If there are enough people at any one time, running a draft will also be possible.

I work until 10pm EST four days a week (Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sun), but otherwise I should be around any day.
Basically each person shows up with a booster box. Trade on, and build what you can from that limited pool of cards.
Might be nifty. Would need someone to serve as commissioner though and approve all trades.
Naturally, not Fridays. We can probably eliminate Fridays as a potential day right away due to FNM.
For me, either Saturday would be best, followed by workdays after 5 PST (8 EST).
However, I haven't touched any of the new cards past Onslaught cycle. Might as well have an excuse to come back and learn some stuff.
I'm in, I am around M-TR after 6 EST.
Workdays seem to be all over the place, sounds like Saturday, 2PM EST would be best.
I can only guarantee M-Tr, so
I'll wait on making any declarations until more people have posted good what times are good for them.
I suppose it's about time I played something that wasn't standard.
I dunno when I'd be available for any sort of organized play, but just pick-up games is neat enough. Guess I should load up a Vintage deck? (Better do it before the 20th
As far as IRC goes, what should I use? I used mIRC long ago when I used to hang out on IRC, but that was years ago.
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
It has standard actions and arrows to indicate things. There are phases and whatnot as well. You do have to vaguely talk to the opponent by saying things like End My Turn or Ok? after stuff, but its not as bad as just pictures.
You can even write your own buttons.
I had to do that back when I was playing Owling Mine- I turned the entire ruling about the intervening-if clause into a button.
I tend to find that when it's vintage or extended, people just put together the most retarded and un-fun decks to play against. Especially in-person, this just kills the game for most people, because someone pulls out their second or first turn win deck they've spent thousands of dollars on the game, while those of us that limit how much we buy don't stand a chance, and may as well put our deck on the table, draw seven cards, and say "you win".
Atleast with limited and to some extent standard, everyones in the same boat, and has to work with limited cards.
If we're playing on MWS, though, everyone has access to every card. Think of it as unlimited proxies allowed; everybody can make the same broken decks, so it's fair
Also, I'm down with some EDH, if anyone's interested.

Like games/movies/other awesome stuff? Check ouy my blog: http://freakinawesome.wordpress.com/
EDH would be awesome. I've always wanted to try it.
It's so fun. I was just playing against a Sliver Overlord deck, with plenty of spot removal in my hand... which does well when he's got a Crystalline Sliver in play. 14 general damage, dead on the board...
WRATH OFF THE TOP FTW
(and then he just draws lands)
SRSLY HANDS OFF OR I'LL BRUTALLY DISMEMBER THEM.
Oh, I guess I could participate in the official formats too.
10E through LRW (.torrent, 600MB)
downloading those two is taking FOREVER

You're not one of those people that like to play Ophidian Eye, are you?
Also, my general of choice is Teneb, the Harvester. So I guess I should claim dibs.
Really? I got 300kb/s off them.
Anyway, what I'd like to do is have Saturday @ 1PM EST be a day for getting people set up with MWS, NetDraft, IRC, play a couple of games, that sort of thing. If you don't have experience with those tools, this'll get you up to speed. If you do have experience, you should stop by so we have enough people to test out a draft. oh god please do i love drafting so much
I don't think the Shadowmoor cards are linked to from the main MWS site, but you can find them at http://www.slightlymagic.net/base.shtml.
