Introduction
Magic: the Gathering, to put it simply, is a card game, but instead of buying a deck you collect your cards and make a deck. Then you play your deck against other decks, to see which deck is better. Since there is five different colors (like suites in a deck of cards) which you can mix and match, and over 1,500 cards, you'll have a hard time being bored.
