The non-video game of the week is back! Everyone's talking about cardboard with the Nintendo Labo, so let's talk about the ORIGINAL cardboard! While M:tG isn't the first CCG to hit the scene, it is the most influential. Spanning over 80 expansions and to celebrate its 25th anniversary in August, it's still going strong. So whether you're an old-school player, you're still picking up expansions, you keep it casual or you're all about the competition, tap your lands and join the discussion!
Possible things you can discuss:
What's your favourite core edition, or which one did you start with? Did the addition or removal of a certain card from one edition to the next really upset you? (Can you believe they removed Serra Angel in Fifth Edition? At least they came to their senses in Seventh.)
What's your favourite expansion? (And why is it Invasion?)
What's your least favourite expansion? (A lot of people immediately jump to "Fallen Empires" and "Homelands." Do they unfairly get a bad rep, or is it totally justified? Is there anything even worse?)
Tournament players, what's your favourite way to play? Standard, or do you not like having to keep up with the expansions? Vintage, or do you not like having to scrounge up the Moxes and such? Are Cube Draft and Commander actually fun?
Or your favourite colour, or planeswalker, or deck theme, or the deck theme that annoyed you the most (did Necro decks ruin Magic?) or...
Show off your deck! It could be competitive, or it could be fun! (I have a deck that features 16 Prodigal Sorcerer-type cards. 4 each of 4 different names. It's like being pecked to death by ducks!)
Maybe even show off or talk about your favourite Magic players on Youtube? Here are some Rooster Teeth employees playing a five-player variant. (Just remember: if it's your own episode you're showing off, keep rule 8 in mind!)
Please resist the temptation to talk about MtG video games. I get it, you loved the old Microprose MtG Game ("Shandalar") and wish they'd bring it back because MtGO stinks, or you want to talk about unofficial MtG games like Forge or Wagic, but seeing as we want to showcase non-video games, please stick to cardboard. Thanks!
Enjoy, and happy stacking!
