The very best of my choice #3: Magic the Gathering

Alright , after saying such beautiful things about religion we should move back to the real world. So that's why on my third post about cool things. And no this time it won't be about a video game it will be just about a current game: A card game. OK maybe after this you might fell a little dizzy :-A card game? You 're kidding right? No I'm not kidding this is real and if you don't believe think about poker for example:- Even some of you like playing poker don't you? (Specially if it's the srip version) So if you think poker is fun any card game can be the same.

The game we are talking about if I'm not mistaken ( and the same goes for wikipedia) comes for 1993 and it was created by a mathematician. In this game you are a “planeswalker” ( a magician who summons creatures, casts spells and does all sorts of things to defat another(s) “planeswalker” who'll try to do the same.





Maybe after this explanation you still know the same ( or less ) from the game so I'll better explain a little more. To be able to do all the things I said before a “planeswalker” (player) needs “mana” which comes form lands


So here's the point you obtain mana from the lands and the with that mana you cast spells, summon creatures and so on. It seems simple but it's not all based on that. The thing becomes more complicated :Not all the mana is from the same type so it won't be usefull for the same things.



The truth is there are 5 mana types and depending on which you pick to use ( you can use 1 ,2 or even the 5 that's your choice) you'll strategy may differ from otther player's.

And that's all for now, this is just a little introduction to the game just to let you know a little about it if you wanna leran more i'll lenda a few links and if nothing happens (I'm not hit by a car or heart attack for example) I will give more details about the game on another post. But it will have nothing to do with this section. If you wanna know what I'm next going to talk well here's a little hint :- The next two posts from this sections will be about anime series .Try to guess them. Bye!!
