Favourite Deck: I'm not sure what you would call it because I make most of my decks, but it's like a red/blue control/OTK deck with Kiln Fiend in it as the main win condition.
Mode of Play: I have Duels of the Planeswalkers 2014 (which I don't play very often, just for when I want to play with people online), and casual paper play with my brother.
TL;DR both

That's a pretty good idea actually, would people be interested in playing online?
If so what would people prefer playing with? So far I'm only aware of Cockatrice and XMage that are free but feel free to share some others if you know them!

I remember the simulator online that is MTG one, but I forget. I always use xmage due to it's graphics and it sometimes hiccups. Other than that, there's a site to play TGC like this one, but I just recommend download xmage or any other stimulators

Has anyone here ever used Puca Trade before? If so, what is your opinion on it? For those of you who don't know, Puca Trade is a website that allows players to trade with people from anywhere via mail. I'm not 100% certain, but from what I understand it works like this. You have "money" associated with your account, you get some for free when you make an account, I believe. You can use this money to "buy" cards from other people, who then send you the card in the mail. Whatever you spent on the card is then added to their account, and that person can in turn buy cards from other people, repeating the cycle. In other words, it's one-way trading in exchange for points to do another one-way trade.
A few friends have told me I should try it, but I'm skeptical. Most of the cards I have that I'm willing to get rid of are just junk and bulk rares. And at this point, anything I need is usually either something from the latest set and thus always in stock at my local card shop, or it's something really old and worth a lot of money (Mana Drain, Dual Lands, etc.), and I doubt I'd get anything like that from Puca Trade. Plus, those shop owner is usually able to get me whatever I need, and quickly too. And unlike my friends who are telling me to try it, I can actually afford anything I need (Well, almost anything. I'm looking at you, The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale >_>), so I'm not sure it's really worth it for me, anyway.

I believe Cockatrice's servers are no longer running.

I've used puca trade before, it was a pretty decent experience from what I remember. It took a while for the other person to register them as arrived (had to message them, apparently they forgot about it) but other than that it's been pretty good.
Only downside I've ever had though was someone sent me an italian Teysa v1, then had a go at me for not stating I only accept English cards (it says so in the T&C that it's english cards only).

The servers are down, but the client is still alive and kicking and there are loads of other servers we can use. Maybe even make one ourselves.

New discussion time! :D
When did you first start playing?
What was your first plane?
I first started playing just after M13 came out, I went out and bought a starter kit when people at my uni tabletop society persuaded me to build a deck and from there on I was hooked! I pulled an Olivia Voldaren in my first pack out of it so I guess my first plane I really visited was Innistrad.
I went on to build a really crappy B/r vampire deck, which has now been transfered to a B/r vampire tribal commander deck, headed by my wonderful Olivia <3

Started playing at about the time of the release for Fate Reforged. My friend let me play with his sliver deck and then a BRU Zombie Vampire deck that literally did nothing. Nobody uses creature decks in EDH. I ended up buying my first planeswalker. I still haven't managed to pack one even though I've gone through about $200 worth of cards. Pretty sad. But anyways, first walker I got was either Tibalt or Domri Rade. But I'm leaning towards Tibalt since everyone had Tibalt.

I remember the first planeswalker I pulled, it was Gideon Jura and I was so confused by the card I had to Google what the hell it was. I just slammed it into an old white weenie deck and forgot about it until last Christmas when I found it again and realised it was foil :D
I would like to join!
I love MTG, but I haven't played since college, because I haven't yet found anyone else where I live who's into it. Still have all my old decks and cards though ^^

I saw the top post in the FC/G forum was a YGO fan group - so I looked through here to see if an MTG group existed, and it totally does 8D
Username: Ullion
Favourite Colour: Blue and Red
Favourite Deck: Probably my Red/blue passive aggressive deck
Mode of Play: Paper mostly, I do have cockatrice but I try to avoid it
I started a little over a year ago when Born of the Gods was first released and my friends held a drafting tournament for it, so I started then. I loved it so much, I kept buying lots of boxes and coming up with my own ideas for decks. (Seriously, I have too many ;-;)
edit: I play modern, because my friends and I have such a wide variety of cards from different sets, so standard would limit us too much. At the sametime, I did make 2 standard decks - one is a jeskai deck that is really fun to play!

Welcome both Ullion and Sopheria! Lovely to have you two join :)
Also what sort of modern decks do you play?
I've never heard of a passive aggressive deck, what does it do?

I don't think there are anything that is similar to Exquisite Blood, but Vizkopa Guildmage has the same effect as Sanguine Bond. I personally think if you'll have the mana (like in a game of EDH) the guildmage is better because on its own you can activate the second ability multiple times and make people lose a ton of life!
