I played for the first time Tuesday. It was fun. I wouldn't want to get sucked into buying my own cards though, I can tell that pit can be bottomless.

On the program I linked to above, they have a digital database of every card, so you can play without buying! Lol, I'm happy with my small collection. Smile

Yeah, card games can be hard going on one's wallet.

I have tens of thousands of Yugioh cards in my cupboard... I remember the days of searching through it all to find a single card. That would happen at least once a month when I was still playing. Tongue

With the program we can also set up private games. I'm excited to learn how to use it! We'd probably need to G+ Hangout along side it. Vocalizing what you're doing is so much easier.

It's got every card in the game, but working out the program itself is a little confusing. It's still fun and it's still Magic!


Twice now, I have been plagued with mana and not enough spells. I might have to slip some card advantage stuff and some more spells. I want to see what Hovik's collection has to offer me.

It's been years since I played, but IIRC conventional wisdom was ~1/3 land in your deck.

I need a little more as my deck is very spell-driven. I've got 25 land cards.

Yeah, being dependent on spells as opposed to creatures/artifacts can cause problems if you find yourself at the mercy of an unlucky shuffle.
