6 weird things...
First weird thing...
I love Magic the Gathering Card Game, but I don't like playing it.. confused?
What I like about MTGTCG is building the decks. I get a thrill out of constructing decks... why? Well;
a) I love strategy and a well made deck is a well made strategy about to unfold.
b) I love using the resources at hand and making the best of it. In MTG, we may not have the best cards (our collection is limited) But with our imagination we can create a powerful deck with cards that are not necessarily the best cards in the collection
c) I love watching other people play and learning from their decks. The many faceted nature of the game lends itself very well to all kinds of people and the way they play often reflects their nature.
Any way, some of my favourite cards in my collection (pictures courtesy of Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro - hope they don't mind me plugging their product)
Akroma Angel of Fury - A 6/6 angel, very powerful. I currently have two.
Numot the Devastator - loved the name we named a cat after him
Benalish Commander - A useful chap that gets stronger with every soldier... now if I can only start cranking our soldier tokens... hmmmm.
And Shivan Wumpus... a personal favourite. ;)
When I first started playing (yeah I used to play) MTG a long long time ago, we only used crude direct assault tactics. Nowadays there all sorts of combos and what not that the mind boggles at the endless possibilities. Some combos are so good that it gives virtually infinite health/life to the controller.
To fully appreciate the game one must actually play it, or create the decks.. There is a subtle difference between a pro player and a master deck builder. Sometimes they are one and the same, but that is a rare combo.
