APATHY IS FOR COWARDS

Yesterday, my friend was at the register checking out when the cashier noticed his homemade wallet made out of old Magic the Gathering lands. He then says "Woah, cool, you play Magic?" Then, a second cashier says to the first, "Hey wait, do you play Magic?" They talk for a moment.

Then the woman behind us in line says "Hey, I heard you talking! I just want to say that I help run a gaming convention in Kalamazoo and we have a load of people there who play Magic, you all should really come!"

By the end of it we had like a half-dozen people discussing Magic at the check-out of Walgreens. It was hilarious and dorky as all get-out~

You're magical to me.

Hahahaha! :D
That’s hilarious. The nerds are all taking over...

I played Magic once a long time ago and had somebody teach me some of the basics about how to play, but I totally forget now everything that he once taught me, lol. I remember how to play the Pokemon Card Game after all this time, but not Magic. Hmm…

It was very funny and unexpected!

I used to play Magic with some friends at a nearby shop, but most of those modes require a somewhat expensive card set and I'm a bit cheap :P But! I play Commander with a bunch of different people on the weekend, which is a lot of fun. It's very laid-back; you can make fun themed decks and pick a favorite creature to be your commander, plus you can play a bunch of goofy cards that are inexpensive :D

I used to play the Pokemon card game (and I had a bit of a collection!) but I've totally forgotten how it works, hah.
And that’s funny, because that guy that taught me how to play Magic said that Magic is much easier to get into and learn than the Pokemon Trading Card game is, lol. Shows what he knows.

True MTG Story.

Me and a friend bought two packs of The Dark using a shared gift card. Obviously, I get one pack, he gets another. I had both in my hand and said "Pick which one you want", and he did. Me being an asshole; Instead of giving him the one he picked, I gave him the other one.
Anyway, his pack, courtesy of me, had a fucking Leviathan in it.



The card itself sucks, but rarity-wise at the time, it was the bee's knees.

Ohhhh Leviathan, you're so... you want to be so good, but you're just so bad.

duuuude I could talk about EDH for hours... so I will.



I have like a few decks now cobbled together out of random cards, including one starring Grenzo (randomly summon a weak creature from the bottom of your deck, maybe, at any time) and it just has a bunch of little monsters that have weird effects when they enter the battlefield (kill target creature, kill random creature, summon chump blockers, give you mana). So, if someone is doing something you don't like, you can try to summon a creature to alter the situation... When you play his ability you have a 20% of getting an effect you need at the time and an 80% of getting something that may help or may be totally useless :P



Also, one starring Sen Triplets (which lets you play your opponent's cards on your turn) and the rest of the deck is all about stealing from your opponents - swapping permanents, mind controlling creatures, rezzing their creatures, casting artifacts and spells from their library or hand, controlling their turn, or swapping life totals with them :D

I love that EDH allows you to make these really overwrought and goofy theme decks :P
