I played magic in ALPHA!
Yep! I started playing magic back in middle school with a good friend of mine. We would get together with these MASSIVE decks and play for HOURS (& that was just one game!). Those where the days.
Well, a summer past and my interest shifted and continued shifting! Now, I’m married, I have a career, and I’ve found Magic… again. Like the prodigal son, I’ve returned.
SO MUCH HAS CHANGED! You can actually play a game in less than 15 minutes! That was unheard of back then! Also, where everyone places the cards are totally different! We used to put our mana on top with the creatures on the bottom! It felt so upside down when I started playing again! Not only that, but I was totally lost! In my first few games back, I was doing all the wrong things. I even got mana burned! But, I’ve been studying cards, decks, sets, blocks and I’m starting to see through the fog again.
I’m happy to see the industry created around Magic. Now there are all kinds of podcasts, websites, blogs, companies, tourneys, & stores devoted to the game of magic! How fun!! I always thought it was a really cool game and had some real potential, but we just couldn’t get into it. It wasn’t as streamlined as it is now.
Anyway, I look forward to posting about my experiences back to the game. I’d love to hear your thoughts on decks, combos, & theories I suggest! PLEASE comment! I need the help!!

I was looking forward to see your combo idea but it looks like you took it down. Good luck on your site and I’ll look forward to seeing your thoughts and sharing deck ideas.

It was totally broken. It didn’t work because of about 3 or 4 rules I broke! LOL. I was trying to get the Titan to untap and tap him with an enchantment that gives tokens = to toughness (elemental mastery) and then burn tail & conspire with the tokens.
The problem was… conspire only copies once and I wasn’t waking up the titan right. Oh well!
Thanks for checking out the site!
