[MTGO] 'Vampyre Erotica' Deck Solitaire, part 1.

When unopposed, this 'Vampyre Erotica' M:tGO deck usually wins in about turn 4-6.

... unless starting hand is really bad.

Music in background is Buddhist Mantra, Green Tara Mantra.

When i play games, as well as in other occasions, often i listen to Buddhist Mantras.

[MTGO] 'Darefire' Deck in Action, part 1.

After losing many games with a 'Darefire' deck, increased creature numbers, increased speed with low-cost creatures.

... it seems Vampyres are superior to rats.

... this deck is still in development.

[MTGO, Paper] 'Darefire', a Deck.

Creatures are Vampyres, are fairly cheap & fast, and benefit from power/toughness increases; have other abilities as well.

We fight for advantage at table, reduce life ... using direct damage either to gain advantage at table, or to finish opponent.

Diabolic Tutors & other utility / interaction spells can also be the battlefield-change cards.

Damping Sphere in sideboard is to counter Storm Decks (as grapeshot for example). Works best with Duress/Thoughtseize that can remove artifact destroing spells from opponent's hand. (in M:tG players' lingo it can be described shorty as 'Storm Hate' spells).

[MTGO] Vintage.

There are various formats in M:tGO, 'Standard' being probably most popular because of fairly low entry fee.

... i prefer 'Vintage' however, because of three reasons:

1. Black Lotus can be used only in 'Vintage',
2. Cards do not become obsolete, so there are very low costs associated with new expansions,
3. Digital 'Vintage' is much cheaper than paper 'Vintage', and perhaps these cards will grow in price insanely with time as well.

Vintage format is also more fun than other, because all or almost all of cards can be used.

[MTGO] 'Vampyre Erotica' Deck in Action, part 1.

Since this duel deck evolved, significiantly gained in power.

i called the great power of black lotus at the very beginning, summoned spirit then efreet two turns later.

... opponent was tormented by spirits, djinn & mischievous fey so he or she surrendered when had no chance to win a duel anymore.

[MTGO] 'Vampyre Erotica', a Deck.

... my Legacy MtGO deck, hastily arranged, then worked with for a while.

... it's name comes from Inkubus Sukkubus' a song, erotic is fight for love, and there's a little of vampirism in this deck, as well.

... i don't need to be best player, but i wish to be able to not give up too easily on this front, after i won 3rd place in the First Official Tournament of MtG in Poland - keeping myself somehwat in shape still.


... it's rather fast considering mana accelerators as dark rituals.

 

This differs from standard 'mana curve' idea that focus on lower mana costs more, because of mana accelerators.

... the core of the force are specters that cause card discarding over many turns, and are flying as well.

... against large monsters we have boomerangs, discards, counters, creature removal & sowers of temptation, as well.

... it has urza-glass-alike ability to look at opponent's hand with a duress spell, a nice combination with counterspells.

... it has color-versatile creature/planeswalker removal ability with hero's downfall as well.

... creature numbers in play advantage translates to constant damage every turn, should be fought for. tools to achieve that advantage are sowers of temptation, bloodline keepers & discard/boomerang.

... i play draw/discard because i don't like losing multiple cards for one, i like having cards number in hand/in play advantage.


... now i can say that i can participate in the Magic Duels, as any aspiring Mage should ;)
/ i am developing an Art Style called an 'Art of Magick & Light' /.


... Many of cards - including Ponder, Meditate, Raven Familiar, Faerie Conclave & Watery Grave are there / not all of these are in as of yet / also for art, poetry & style.


... i perceive this deck a work of art, it's gentle in a way even if it's dark thoughts, vampirism, torments, enslavement & murders ... it's romantic, ephemereal, spectral, intelligent, subtle, magickal & fleeting in it's theme.

... i wish to create a poetry & other art that uses ideas from this deck & not only, with help of insights & friends who inspire the insights in me, properly giving praise in credits as well.

[MTGO] Black Lotus, a Gift for Love.

What is best gift a man can give for a woman, for Love?

Usually it's a flower, a Jewelry, or a work of Art.

What if a proper flower doesn't exist in nature, if it's a fictional Art work?

Black Lotus does not exist in nature, even if there's a specimen called that way.

It's found in fiction, in Art, in games ... but it's a powerful symbol still.

Thankfully i found a way.

i think a Buddhist woman i Love realized beautifully feminine protecting qualities, along with wisdom, perfection, purity, gentleness & power ... as a mythical black lotus that grows in the harsh swamp conditions.

i think Black Lotus is also a symbol of Magic, a feminine symbol of Buddhism.

Found in the Magic: the Gathering games, it's source of great power & beauty, that can enhance the play when used skilfully, alongside the other, meaningful cards ... it's the great, rare & precious work of Art as well, as well ... it's perhaps the most legendary, most sought of all of the cards.

i bought this Art work for a Buddhist woman i Love, a flower that symbolizes how i perceive her, how i experience her gentle power & emotional work with my feelings.

i feel secure in feelings, when thinking of her.

It's for You & only for You, whom i met in the Buddhist Center, who meditated with me, whom i touched knee-to-knee, when we sat & meditated beside.

i only Guard it for You.

Perhaps i'll skry this card, to learn it's powers, if insights tell me that, if i feel it's coming from someone worthwhile ... then use to build power of Sangha and/or friends, in times of need.

But i wish to keep the card intact, to guard safely, it's a flower & Art for You.

Introduction.

... recently i've created a black & blue mtgo deck named 'Vampyre Erotica'.

... i don't need to be best player, but i wish to be able to not give up too easily on this front, after i won 3rd place in the First Official Tournament of MtG in Poland - keeping myself somehwat in shape still.

... as a note, 2nd place in the First Official MtG Tournament in Poland took Konrad Zalewski, my classmate from our High School (named after Leopold Staff, located at Wiśniowa street), and 1st place took Grzegorz Świetlik - a man who played this game abroad before it came to Poland, who had money to buy expensive cards & more practice with better players.

... both deserved their ranking places, i think.

In this Tournament i played a Deck of White-Blue Weenie with Counterspells, Crusades & Token Creation, Konrad used Black & Blue creature/counterspell/control Deck similar to Vampyre Erotica Deck.

Vampyre Erotica Deck uses a lot of Konrad's ideas, as well as some of Grzegorz & other, more modern cards & ideas - it's far from exact copy of other people's decks.

White & Blue are Buddhist (Light & Mind) & Papal (Purity & Heaven) colours, in my opinion.

i participated in crusades that way, by playing in tournament with white & blue with creatures & crusade spells.

i behaved as catholic even if i didn't go to church often.

But now i consider church too proud, too hypocritical - even if there are exceptions.

i considers crusades ethical mistake, i prefer Buddhism, Witchery & Magick now.

i don't wish to play crusades deck again - it's hypocrisy & lack of ethics to do so, even more to claim it good. when i play evil, i try to do it honestly, openly - even that there are tricks & treachery.

... so why i play evil if i wish to be ethical? ... it's to understand evil & suffering, then to elevate myself & others above.

But i repay karmic debts (favours for favours & other) to anyone i owe as soon as i can - including church.

Any debt is slavery, not only bank debts.

So i fight for freedom by being compassionate & kind for those who deserve.
