I'm looking to try my hand at MTG because since I began working at Athena I've realised how astonishingly popular (and portable) it is.
Historically I've never been into card games of any kind, "toy soldiers" have traditionally been more my thing, but I feel I could dip into MTG as it seems relatively cheap to start up and looks like I'd have a plethora of opportunities to play & learn at work.
My first instinct has been to go for an intro deck but after seeking advice from some local players I've been advised to go for either an event deck or a dual deck. Intro decks are your basic startup deck with rather run of mill cards for ease of learning. Event decks are better structured for competitive play (but I imagine a bit trickier to learn?) and finally, dual decks are designed for two players to begin their MTG journey side by side.
Also for my consideration is the five colours of magic, these are the different sources of power (and effect) available and are something like.
- White - Protection & order
- Green - Life & nature
- Black - Decay & death
- Red - Fury & chaos
- Blue - Deceit & intellect
So I need to pester my workmates for a little more info and take the plunge with some form of structured deck, stand by for more info :)
And after some more talking and pondering, I got myself an "Eldrazi Assault" (Red & Black) intro deck with two boosters included. It's given me a ton of cards to start with and try to figure out.
