I'm pretty new to this game still, but it's a lot of fun. Does anyone else play?

My ex used to and I tried it out a few times myself. Maybe I should start playing it for real.. Smile
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

It's pretty fun. You really have to understand how card work and how battles are resolved. It gets complicated rather quickly. I was lucky to play a game with two people who practically breathe Magic and they opened my eyes to some really cool strategies.

I have never tried Magic... I have always liked the look of it though.

I used to go to tournaments for Yugioh. I was once 7th best in Scotland. Wink I haven't played in a wee while though.

I did recently play Cardfight Vanguard though. It is a new game and it is pretty awesome. My friend goes to tournaments for it, but I don't actually own any cards for it myself... the only times I have played it was using his alternate decks.

Never liked card games much, I used to play yu-gi-oh to win cards from others and stopped playing when I got enough rare cards to sell for good $$.

You played for cards? That is bizarre. I think you guys took the anime too seriously. Tongue

There is still a lot of money in the game right now... there are almost always cards that go for over £100.

I used to play, but it took all of my money. I quit and started back up a couple of times until I eventually traded all of my cards for a quarter ounce of mushrooms.

Only on the Xbox Live games now.
