http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Thespian's%20Stage

{tap}: Add {1} to your mana pool.
{2}, {tap}: Thespian's Stage becomes a copy of target land and gains this ability.

My question is:
I use the ability to copy a land. If I copy another land, do I lose the ability of the first copy?
Since it's "gains" and it doesn't say that it loses the previous copy, I think I might "pile" up the abilities.
Also in the case i can gain multiple abilities, if I have as ability {tap} for any color from one card and {tap} for {R} from another card, can I {tap} for any color + {R}?

Good story!

I feel you, I think the Magic world has some arrogant people towards noobs. I just (re-)started few months ago and a lot of the really competitive players are arrogant and mean against new players. Luckily there are a lot of competitive players that are really nice to noobs and help you out.

I usually "mark" it as foil and promo, even though the price doesn't change.

In your inventory view select: "Search & Filter"
Then selected "Edition Owned" where you see [Any]
And select the edition you want.

Example of the view http://deckbox.org/sets/376189?f=c3113 (my collection of GateCrash)

I hope this is what are you looking for. Cheers

It would be nice to filter the collection by Artist.
So I could see which card I have to have them signed at various events

It would be nice if the playmat would have a LED life counter and other stuff. For now it looks the playmat is just a phone charger :s

That guy is in my area, but in another store.
I think one problem with copying the deck is that you don't know how to play it and what decision did they make when building the sideboard. Especially it's hard to know their strategies and "tricks"

4 Stromkirk Noble
4 Burning-Tree Emissary

Thanks for the suggestion, removing loyalist + sideboarding zealot and vexing devil, now i'm 4 cards short. (And a 23 cards sideboard)
I see how Dynacharge can be really useful with the Legion Loyalists

Here is my first aggro deck. It is almost "not humans", besides Ash Zealot. http://deckbox.org/sets/393537

Right now I have 8 too many creatures, probably I need to cut some of the 1 drops. Any suggestions?
Here are my doubts about the 1 drops:

  • I have the feeling that Legion Loyalist might be good as "first hit" but maybe it is less useful in the "long run" (turn 2 and thereafter). 

  • Rakdos Cackler: it will be "only" a 2/2 and has summoning sickness

  • Stromkirk Noble: it might have difficulties to deal damage to damage the player (attack is only in turn 2, and other player might have had already 2 full turns)

  • Vexing Devil. It might just be a nice 4 damage to the player, instead of helping later on with Hellrider

20 Mountain
4 Legion Loyalist
4 Pillar of Flame
4 Rakdos Cackler
4 Stromkirk Noble
4 Vexing Devil
4 Ash Zealot
4 Burning-Tree Emissary
4 Lightning Mauler
4 Searing Spear
4 Boros Reckoner
4 Brimstone Volley
4 Hellrider

Sideboard:
4 Mizzium Mortars
4 Skullcrack
4 Volcanic Strength
3 Blasphemous Act

One thing that I like about going Mono color is that it would be easier to transition this deck after the rotation occurs.

I had fun the second day as well, learned a lot. Discussed strength and weaknesses of my deck. I will prepare a Boros Human and a Boros Not-Human aggro decks in the next few days.
Thanks for your help elpablo!

I played it at 2 Game Days.

Saturday: 4th place (out of 10). Got barely beaten by a Golgari Deck (by 1 hit point) and got beaten by a Maze's End/Turbo Fog deck (Bad luck in getting Skullcrack)
Sunday: I went to the most competitive place in the area, just got destroyed by over expensive overpowered decks. I also had pretty bad luck in drawing cards.

I think now I will try to do Boros aggro and maybe try it out at some FNM (Instead of Drafting)

It's interesting. It's indeed expensive cards to get mana! Will consider it!

Thanks, yeah. It's not a deck. It's just the list of dragons I have. I wanted suggestions for the first turns mostly, and maybe some dragons suggestions (on the cheap side)

Here are the Dragons I have so far: http://deckbox.org/sets/392080

I would like to create a casual dragon deck. (and maybe move to EDH later on).
Do you have any suggestions for adding more mana fast and maybe some low creatures or "plan" while waiting for the first 5 lands in play?

Thanks

Strength of Selesnya just came out. I'm not a really big fan of white/green. But I might get it.

What event decks or duel decks do you suggest? As value / fun to play / easily tweakable.

I don't need to be Standard. I just want them to play casual. Thanks

I would like to try the Dragon Duel Deck (Knights vs. Dragons), but it looks a bit too expensive.

- ?

Thank you!!!

I think at the moment I have more cards for the mid-range. I will stick with that for Game Day. And maybe change things around for later on.
Thanks

Hello,
I have my Standard deck with Dragon Shield sleeves.
The issue is that all the Deck Boxes I found, cannot hold the 60 + 15 cards for a Standard Event. I need to split in 2 boxes. Is there a deck box out there that can hold all my 75 sleeved with Dragon Shield sleeves?
I would like to avoid commander boxes.

Thanks

I am thinking to add some more haste and power to the deck.
I think to Ash Zealot and Silverblade Paladin instead of Lightning Mauler and either Tajic or the Hellkite.
