Official Magic: The Gathering thread

Because I GUESS for some reason we don't HAVE ONE.

For those of you who don't know what Magic the gathering or MTG is, it's known as some to be the greatest card game ever.  Cocktail party version:  It's like chess where you don't know your opponent's pieces, and you can't find your queen.

*expensive chess

[mikey]

It doesn't even need to be that expensive

[Jon]

But yu gi oh is the best card game ever

[DrP]

[mikey]

But yu gi oh is the best card game ever

Well actually yugioh is the best knockoff ever

[Crazy Hand]

I used to play Yugioh, but then I discovered Magic.

Then, the only other card games I could stand were played with face cards. Magic: The Gathering rocks! Woohoo!

[Roz~]

Yugioh is alright. I've never really played Magic. For some reason all my friends tell me they're gonna show me how it works but it actually never happens hehe.

[K-NiGhT]

Ugin gets a planeswalker card
goodness knows he deserved it
And with that spoiler season is underway

[mikey]

This is my favorite card spoiled today.
He's smarter than 99% of bad guys you see in movies.  (see flavor text)
this is probably the best card of the set right now
solid 2/2 for 2 with a huge ability
also lifelink relevant in jeskai

[mikey]

it's impossible to read as a thumbnail, but that blue card in the bottom right:
Reality Shift 1U
Instant
Exile target creature.  Its controller manifests the top card of his or her library.  (That player puts the top card of his or her library onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature.  If it's a creature card, it can be turned face up at any time for its mana cost.)
...
... ...
HYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE
ThE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS

WIZARDS WHY
IT'S LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO PLAY RED
