I played all the way from Alpha to Weatherlight expansions. Had a complete Alpha set that I sold for about $9000 including all the Mox's and Black Lotus. Probably could have gotten more but it paid my rent for a year almost lol

Mind you this was in 2005, the game was in a lull of popularity and just came back into prominence in the last few years.

From poking around I see it going for only $5000 now so I think I did okay, even with the change in prices lol. I only had 3 complete sets in Alpha, Ice Age, and Weatherlight, but I also had one of every white card in the game since it was my favorite color. I miss it sometimes but glad I got out...I played a draft tourney at Magfest this year and hated all the new rules and the new cards are retarded.

I'd play virtually if I had access to all the cards and the old school expansions to recreate my lions and angels deck. It won 5 tourneys and was undefeated for 2 years, even against decks that were built to counter it specifically lol

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't know what the fuck is going on in this thread.

I'm okay with this...

You can, there is a program call cockatrice that has all of the cards in its database and best of all, it is all FREE!

interesting name though to be honest, i wouldnt play it online though. I enjoy actually talking to my opponent, its a social game, like hookah is a social hobby

I played a few times when I was dating a pretty serious player - he actually went to Nationals at one point when we were together. Was pretty interesting but I never fully got the hang of it. It sucks being such a n00b when you're playing against people who have played forever and are super into it and compete etc. etc.

I also played veeeeeeeeery long ago in the times of Alpha and same as Tyler, I sold all my cards for a pretty good sum. I played a combination of black and blue called "Frustration".

Will take a look at that cockatrice game online... sounds pretty good if you can just have access to all the sets.
