| What should I say about Magic? It's great. Don't
get me wrong: I'm not one of those Magic-only guys. As a matter of fact
I play a lot of other games
(like RPG, 3D, live, etc.), and I enjoy them
again thanks to Magic. I used to play a lot several years ago when CCG
didn't exist, then I stopped: when Magic spread out I was into it and of
course into other games again... In 1995 I placed 11th in the Italian Ranking.
In 1997 I decided to quit, for the rules changing day by day, for WotC
policy and a million of other good reasons. Still, after a year off of
it, I placed 11th again in 1998 in the Italian Open Finals. Quite a good
result, indeed. But... I still decided to quit. |

| Here are some cool type I decks which won me several tournaments. They might be a bit out-of-date, but I think they key concepts behind them are still important (ah, when deck design was up to everyone!). |
