Magic the Gathering Apprentice Tournament - Page 2

For whatever reason, apprentice isn't working for me, I keep getting an error message "silver is not a valad integer value" and then it doesn't work, I don't get the "table" part of the screen.

I'll wait for dragon studios to come back up, or someone can send me the file for XP.

I could send you the XP file. It's only like a MB zipped. Wouldn't take long. And the Oracle update isn't large.

And I'm confused about Mirrodin being useless because it uses artifacts. Artifacts can fit into any deck... they are colorless.

But yes, your zombie deck did use a mirrodin card, terror.

Damn. Your right about me using terror. I thought that was 8E.

But anyway, you can like Mirrodin if you want. Its just my opinion of it. I dont like it. I know people who hate scourge, but its my favorite expansion.

If so I'll find my cards and play :P. But you'd have to tell me times meh.. But thats way too much of a hassel

No, we use a program called Apprentice. Its a simple program (though very buggy) that has a database of every card ever created. You dont get to see the cool artwork, but it has all the neccesary info for each card.

Like I said, Apprentice is very buggy. It does that sometimes. What I do to fix it is to redownload it.

If you cant get apprentice any other way, or you need the Oracle file (this is the file that includes EVERY expansion), then get it off of Moogle or I.

I've downloaded it 3 times, I know it's a buggy program, but I never had this much trouble on my old comp.

Dragon Studios is back up. I'm d/loading it (with Mirrodin, I hope, because I like Mirrodin).

I beat my 2 of my friends with custom decks (and one of them is very good at building decks) with my pre-constructioned Mirrodin deck. The artifact affinity is very good.

Glad to see DS is back up.

Indeed, Affinity is good, but I have a deck that can own Affinity any day.

I would hope you don't mean Goblin Bidding. Hmm, Mono-Control White Owns GB! HA HA! Angels to the rescue!

I personally cannot see angels defeating goblins. Goblin deck is terribly fast...

Heh, unless you have a isochron scepter and holy day *shudders*.

Stuff like Akroma is nice, but you'd have to get extraplanar lense out to get any hope of playing her by turn five with a mono-white.

Serra Angels on the other hand... super cool creatures.

Sadly, his Angel deck has been known to defeat my Goblin deck, but my Goblin deck has on occasion beat the Angels.

But, Moogle, what does Angels have to do with my Goblins stomping Affinity? GB still owns Affinity.

So, Bube, which tournaments do you want in on?

Bube · 12-26-2003, 04:30 PM

What do you mean by which tournaments? I don't get it?

We are having two tournaments here on GT:
A Type I format, and a Type II format.

A Type I format means you can use any card ever created. A Type II format means that you can only use recent cards.
(To find out which cards you can use in Type II, just apply a Type II filter in the Deck Editor on apprentice.)

When I ask you which tournament(s) you wanted in, I was asking you which of the two (or both) of the tournaments you wanted to compete in. For a list of people currently signed up to compete in each tournament, check my very first post on this thread.

Once we have enough people and its obvious no one else will join, the tournament will commense.

I'll create a bracket for each tournament, and the Type II tournament will be held first.

Question: Do you guys want to play single or double elimination?

Bube · 12-26-2003, 06:02 PM

Ok, I get TI, TII stuff, but it doesn't matter. As long as I can use my Mirrodin deck (it's my newest, and it sucks less than my other deck).

I'll put you in both, then.

[edit] Did you ever get Apprentice to work, Stoney?

Stonecutter · 12-26-2003, 08:10 PM

OH! yes, sorry about not keeping you updated, I'll be good to go.

Very suave.

Are you sure about not being in Type II? If we had one more person, then I wouldnt have to worry about giving anyone a by.

And I have also decided to make it double elimination, that way everyone gets some to play at least two games.
