What is Magic: The Gathering?

You're here because you want to learn the Magic: the Gathering game, the world's premier trading card game. It was the first of its kind, and it's still the best and the biggest.

In the Magic game, you play the role of a planeswalker—a powerful wizard who fights other planeswalkers for glory, knowledge, and conquest. Your deck of cards represents all the weapons in your arsenal. It contains the spells you know and the creatures you can summon to fight for you.

Trading card games like the Magic: The Gathering TCG combine collectable cards with a strategy game. You don't know what you'll get in a Magic booster pack. You just start a collection and trade with other players to get the cards you want.

The best part about a trading card game is that it's always changing. You design and build your own unique decks, and each Magic game you play is different. New Magic expansions are released a few times a year, and each new expansion brings new ways to stupefy and defeat your opponents.

The Colors of Magic

Magic players craft their own decks, selecting cards that suit their individual playing styles and strategies. Building a deck often focuses on taking advantage of the powers inherent in each of Magic's five mana colors.

White: The color of Justice 
White spellcasters use superior tactics, efficient creatures, and the power of righteousness against their foes.

Blue: The color of Wisdom 
Blue mages focus on using superior knowledge to gain control of a battle, and slowly gain the upper hand.

Black: The color of Ambition 
Black sorcerers are willing to do whatever it takes to win a battle, even if it means sacrificing everything to do so.

Red: The color of Chaos 
Red conjurers try to win as quickly and dramatically as possible, smashing and burning their way to a quick victory.

Green: the color of Nature 
Green shamans win duels through the brute force of mother nature, summoning giant creatures to squash their enemies.

What color will you play? It is entirely up to you!

- Magic the Gathering trading card game was a old hobby of mine while I was in high school, some of my friends play this game and making the long story short, I tried to play it too. Making a deck was first on the list so that you can play the game, as stated above, it's up to you what kind of deck you want to make and what color to choose from. Chemistry is also important for the different cards that completes your deck, the more chemistry your card has the more chances of winning. After constructing the deck, obviously you need to learn the game and how you play your cards, also consider the opponents type of deck in order to win.

Playing this game needs investment, I mean if you want to have your own deck of cards, then you need to spend money to get what you want. Some just try their luck at booster packs. Booster packs are composed of cards, correct me if im wrong, I guess its fifteen cards in one booster pack. Its is composed of Rares, uncommon and common type of cards, may also include land. It's cheaper compared to buying a preconstructed deck, that's for my opinion. 

Played the game just for fun and experience, game is exciting and cool because you need to think to win unless the opponent has a deck with no chemistry or the opponent itself is not that skilled. It also depends on the players, mostly it is a mind game. Mechanics of the game or how you play it was fun also, it like a dimension by just playing cards and if I relate it to computer games, it's like a strategy game like Red Alert or Star Craft. I dont play the game anymore because my friends stopped playing also. One Factor that made me stop is money, you need to spend money to get new cards, it's also like a trend that you need to go with the flow of the type of cards. It's fun to look at the cards and read their abilities and qoutes. Well, this is it for the Game.
