Magic is fun to tinker with the game mechanics with. I started playing when I was a kid, around the time Mirage came out, and I quit playing after Mirrodin block. I've kept up here and there with some of the mechanics after that, but I haven't really bothered to. Magic is pretty straight forward though, basically you just do what the card says. They've really simplified the **** out of the rules over the years. I haven't actually bought cards in years but if I did it'd mostly just be a bunch of old cards anyway for me to build some older decks of mine. Only guy I know that plays around here still is one of my best friends who tried to hang himself and survived and is now on disability. He doesn't go out anymore, so I come by to see him, play some Magic over drinking scotch, and talking with him. How to teach someone how to play Magic: "White heals things, Green grows things, Red burns things, Black reanimates things, and Blue just says: "No."
