Magic the Gathering

Tough as or TOUGHER than forest creatures.
It's annoying when crappy 2/1's turn into 14/10's and if they die you lose 3 life, and they have deathtouch. Zombies only real weakness is early-game, and against flying. Board wipes against zombies often means 'everyone lose 10 life' D=

@Galt
Yeah the set I started playing with was Ravnica, I love that deck.
Lightning Helix + Skyknight Legionnaires + Trumpeters, and also a couple of the shadowmoor cards like Scourge of the Nobilis.
Powerful lifelink deck that was great and got me into Magic =p

From what I remember... Yu Gi Oh was crap. Total crap >>;
I played while stuff like Blue Eyes was the best.
Then 1-2 sets later, Blue Eyes is useless, total crap.
They overpower everything in the newer sets so that you HAVE to completely replace old cards with new ones if you wanna win.

At least in Magic if you buy something from, let's say Shards, you can continue to use it for a long time, and there are cards from old sets like 4 years ago that are still powerful (or even overpowered) in current magic environments.

Maybe Yu Gi Oh has changed since then, but not only the constant having to buy new OP cards, but I also prefer Magic because it's higher difficulty level. There's a lot more thinking involved. Proper Manabase, Mana Curving, Board Control VS Utilites, Card Advantage, Speed VS Control, etc. You always have to think ahead and predict what your opponent will do, and play appropriately. Not just draw a card, play the strongest one, and /gg. Everything works together for a good magic player, not just deck + luck + basic knowledge of the game.

Also, a lot more people playing Magic, = more people to practice/trade/tournament with, Yu Gi Oh, at least where I live, has a lower fanbase. People who play Magic are usually 18-40 year old people, whilst I find Yu Gi Oh players to be more 14-18, generally not the best people to play with.
