What’s your favorite Magic edition?

Do you play Magic (or just collect)?

Or do you collect Magic cards beyond playing?

    With edition you mean sets? I haven’t seen a lot of them, but I really like this new D&G and MTG crossover.

    I know MTG since I was a kid, I actually owned a deck back in the days 2000’s but all my kid friends were playing YuGi so I wasn’t able to play. Recently a friend gifted me a white-black deck and I started to play a bit with cards while also playing in MTGA, which will probably be the place I’ll be playing more since cards are expensive AF, but I would like to buy a deck or two if I can, I doubt I’ll ever have enough money to collect.

    WBU?

      I took notice of Magic relatively late, when I was too old to find playing partners. (As a teen I played pen & paper RPG.) I was a lot older than the teenies who played it. I got fascinated by the beautiful pictures on the cards. First I didn’t understand the rules. I found them complicated. (But in fact the core rules are simple, as I know now.)

      I like Ravnica, because of the mixing of colours. I like white/blue. Also I like the art of the Ravnica land cards. But other sets and cards are beautiful, too.

      I think no other trading card game has such beautiful art.

      I must admit I haven’t heard of MTG & D&D crossover before. I love the Forgotten Realms. So I will take a closer look. I see there is a Drizzt card! :) I hope there is an Elminster card, too.

        Yeah, the rules have changed a bit over the years, now are more complex than when it started and I think it is the most complex one among the card games out there [for example Hearthstone is super simple in comparison].

        I agree, the art is gorgeous and I love how exists a ludo-narrative aspect in the game. For example, black decks generally have cards that can resurrect creatures from the graveyard, whites heal, etc. I know this is not always the case but it is what happens generally.

        I think the crossover deck was released a couple o days ago, so it makes sense if you haven’t heard of it yet.
