LJ Idol: Week 2: Deconstruction

[reixetvobi]

It seems fairly simple.

A Magic: The Gathering deck is sixty cards. The land/creatures/non-creature spells split is 20/20/20--though you might want to go as high as twenty-four land. It's something to do with ensuring you have mana at the ready: mana screw has caused the loss of many a game.

The land forms the colour of the deck you're building:

It took my reading it twice, but I got it and I like it, Your just about two levels deeper than I am.

[reixetvobi]

Thank you for the compliment!

This made me feel like I was thirteen again! My brother was always trying to get me to play Magic with him!

[reixetvobi]

Did he succeed at getting you to play?

[the_vernacular]

Nah, but I drew a lot of enlarged versions of the monsters for him.

I've never played....but I think I would like it from the sounds of it :)

[reixetvobi]

I think you would! It's *really* fun!

This game is way beyond me, but you did a good job describing it. Now, Go Fish!

[reixetvobi]

...I can't remember how to play Go Fish.

Ok so, seriously? I'm bookmarking this entry for future reference. My husband (also an idol contestant) is off playing Magic RIGHT NOW, and even though we've been a couple for nearly 10 years, we've never once sat down to play a round together.
This is honestly helpful! Thanks! :)

I play a lot of Magic in IRC channels.
