Magic the Gathering

[Avalon_Fates]

Ok that was sorta painful to read having just woken up but you are wrong, the strategy, trying to out think your opponents is still a huge part of magic, the problem is not so much the cards but the internet. People don't build their own decks anymore, they look up a deck that a famous deck builder or player has used then take it for themselves. So many people do this that certain cards start getting bought in bulk causing a price rise.

Now its at the stage that people are so busy building MetaDecks and Decks that counter metadecks. That a certain card pool will raise in value stupidly. Everyone will be so caught up in the cardpool they tend to forget other cards and strategy exist, even going as far as insulting anyone who changes from it.

Then their are the real players of magic, who build a deck they love, use cards they feel are best for them regardless of its price range and generally are the ones who win tournaments.

People keep comparing Magic to YuGiOh these days as Yugioh was effected by *The Net* much faster then magic was.


Lastly. I play magic with my group weekly. And I find it just sad you wont even play the game, no wonder your not finding any of the complex plays you can make your not even looking. Ignore the meta, build a deck and play the game and you will see what I mean.


P.S I built a 30$ Emeria, The Sky Ruin deck using Kor Elements...Its came first second and forth at my local FNM. Against 200$ Jund Decks and Baneslayer Angels. Oh and DBZ The Card game is much more complex then Pokemon.

Also, Yugioh is a great game to play aswell.
