I played my first game...
« on: January 14, 2009, 04:08:16 PM »
of Magic today.  It was interesting, I lost the 2nd one, but won the first one.  partially because the kid who taught me brought his good deck out for the second one.

I played with a water deck both times...it was certainly a lot more easy to learn than LOTR...

Magic IS easier to learn, at least enough to get the first few games rolling. When you start playing better, however, is when the game gets trickier. What I like about MtG is that games tend to go fast, don't you think so?

Faster than LotR, especially when you're learning. Though a pro-level Magic game gets over really quick, sometimes, eh?

Well, if SoP embraces MtG, we'll have quite the crowd, eh?

If you're artifact obsession extends into MtG, man, I'd suggest some (B) / (U) / (W) Esper stuff. Hah.

I can't remember his name for the life of mine. He's a 2/2 artifact zombie from Shards of Alara, costing BW, that lets you look at their hand and remove a card as long as the zombie remains in play.

its really annoying how the cards don't link anywhere here.

I'm not planning on buying any magic, but...how many artifacts would you say there are?

Roughly a thousand, I'd guess.

Artifacts are very common. Like, in this last set, i'm pretty sure there were uh...probably 30 or so. And then with Mirrodin Block, everything was artifact, so...a lot more than LotR.

Plus, if he wanted ALL of 'em, he'd have to find a Black Lotus somewhere.
