Magic The Gathering

[X-F3R]

Does anyone play this card game? well.. yeah, it's kinda like a new interest i've picked up but i'm not leaving or anything.. i just need something like this so i'd have more ideas for a project attempt..

anyway, since these cards are that popular (not here tho), i'd like to know how to play it, so if someone does, or if someone knows a site that teaches you how to play it, please PM me that site. (the site PMing rule only applies to illegal stuff, right)

btw, i know there is the Core Set (beginner's guide), but i've never seen it in the local card-collectors stores, and when i checked the official site, it says that the Core set is only available in the US and the UK.. so yeah.. =P

My brother played Magic back in the day, but it's been awhile since I've heard of anyone playing it. I was too young to get into it.

[Grandy]

 I play with a Sliver Deck, and Blackskullwarlock plays witha necromancer deck

[blackskullwarlock]

Yeah, Necromancers and strong beasts that I get on the board for basically free. Learning Magic is tough...but worth it if you are into that kind of stuff.

Actually, learning Magic can be easy with the Portal starter deck. They come with a tutorial and all.

However, do know that cards from the Portal series are banned from certain events, because they tend to be too "powerfull".

I used to play it..

If you want to learn to play it you should try to find the computer game and play it.

i playes for 2 years back then.. i loved my Type 1 deck. Yeah i was old school. Not anymore

[Blademon]

I hung around people playing Magic, they're everywhere in University. Best way to learn Magic is to watch others play. There's a killer tactic involving Black Magic. There's another involving Blue Magic with that card that lets you search the whole deck for the 1 card you want.. anyway lots of good strats around.

I have a red deck burried somewhere in my box o' junk. No one around here to play with, though. I've most likely forgotten half of the rules, though.

well, i read the rulebook from the official site and saw a demo game where u play against a "Dark Wizard". but it's a 7th edition game demo tho =\ i've read the rule book and compared them to the set of screenshots and there wasnt a "stack" in the screenies.. i'm downloading the 7th edition demo right now =P

i've checked every store near me.. they only sell booster packs and deck sets.. =.=" got a scanner? lol.. j/k!

anyway, i saw the demo screenies and i'm not really sure how the turn system works..

a friend of mine bought a Betrayers of Kamigawa deck earlier so now there are 2 clueless people who wants to learn how to play this card game =\

[Lighting Half Dozen]

I play with a green deck.

[Rune_of_Punishment]

I play every now and then. I'm mediocre.

[blackskullwarlock]

I'm good at it but there is a lack of people to play with where I live. Betrayers of Kamigawa isn't the best choice for starters but it's basically the only kind that sells.

[DragonBlaze]

I used to play, I may play again soon, don't really know.

I use a dragon deck :p, since the mana cost is really high for them, I have a ton of ways to bring 3 or so of my dragons into play with about 3 mana.

I just downloaded a mtg computer game the other day, just to see how I would do against a computer. Although the newest cards were from 4th edition, and the decks were filled with cards that were practicly useless in most cases, it was pretty fun. If you're looking to learn how to play, and you can't find anyone to teach you, I suggest downloading a game and learning that way.

well, i've found the 8th Edition Core Set (Beginner's Guide) and the place is 2 hours away from where i live, but it's aight =P so i think "Teach me how to play" is erased from this topic.. talk about the good cards and good combos? =P

btw, i'm downloading the 7th Edition Magic Game.. is there a 8th edition game? if so plz PM the link to me or post it here (if it doesn't go against the rules)

i've bought 2 Booster Packs earlier and i got a few sexy cards.. bad thing was, they were all "Sari-Sari" (a filipino word for "assorted") colors..

i think i'll be using 3 different colors with a few Legendary Lands   that give 2 different mana colors.. Black and Red's a must for me cuz i got a Blood Speaker and Stone Rain =P what do u guys think? is it a good thing? lol..

and now i kinda know how to play it.. it's just the phase thingy that's bugging/confusing me.. ~.~ i'll know how to when i get my $$$ wehehe...
