Trading Card Game, Anyone??

i have a stack (200+) of 1st series MTG cards a friend gave to me.. i think they're all black border or something. and I think i have a few packs that are still sealed. A friend gave me a few dozen packs so he'd have someone to practice against. i never really got into it, and he quit and didn't want them back.

i wonder if they're worth anything...

Ball lighting and blistering firecat are both great to cause damage in the early rounds. I don't have both of them cuz I seldom play red decks. I play blue or green decks most of the time. so Morphling is my favorite creature.

Yes its a marvelous creature, my friend once hit me with morphling combo, when in damage stacking phase he bossted up morphling into 10/-7, and after the damage stacked he responsed with bossting it into 1/8..

I personally like the something aura(I forgot the name, but the illust is a goblin with wings), its encahantment with morphling ability, I combo it with wirewood chaneller to make infinite mana.. Once a play with 4 people.. and i manage to get the combo works and fireball them all.. instant win.. :mrgreen:

:shocked: :shocked: You could gain real good money with it!!
Firstly it a black bordered 1st series card which means for some card its worth a lot more than the same card but not with black borders..
Secondly you got about 200 ne~?? If you put your time to sort out which is rare whish isn't, and sell off those rare card you got yourself a good deal.. (you could visit magicthegathering.com to d/l the sortable text list for determining the rerity of each card, or you could buy Inquest magazine, ussually it have a magic card list and prices..)
Thirdly, you need someone that understand pretty much about magic to accompany you to the dealer/trader to sell it, so you won't be decieved by opportunist dealer/trader.. :mrgreen:

Does your friend feel disappointed ?
Well, sometimes i buy booster packs or a deck for my frens in order to keep them interested in the game.. or rare cards as a gift on their B'day (one stone, two birds :hehe: ) But often those cards/decks were just left at one corner collecting dust :beaten: of course, i'm not angry or wat.. just a bit disappointed.... :atchoo: maybe your fren knows my feel... LOL

For me, I just simply show how much fun would you get by playing magic, such as I'll show the most cool combo, the most effecient deck and others cool things about magic. And for beginner I sometimes let he/she wins so she/she could tastel the winning feelings. :mrgreen: And also I manage some small tournament with a prize of course. :mrgreen:

Yugioh is much easier to introduce to my frens because of the anime and manga...

Oh ok then, I'll try searching for it in google or yahoo..
I think its pretty cool for cell-phone background :victory:

Yes, yu gi oh is easier to play.
I would recommend newbies who have never played card games before to play this game first.
Alas, my heart belongs to magic still. My cards have dropped significantly in value due to the type rotation thing.
no $ to buy new cards. shucks

Magic rocks :thumbsup:
btw what expansion do you play?? Have you tried playing with planar chaos??

And here I thought perhaps we may have come up with some form of Dorama trading card game. :P

Artistes would be your Characters with their own weapons and powers. Instead of settings you'd have storyline developments (people falling in love, a character coming down with some disease or moving to the United States, etc.).

Actually :jumpie: I think I may give that a shot. :metaldevil:

:thumbsup: NIce idea :thumbsup:
How about the artist could choose to use their representative power from his/her dorama for example ueno juri would have the abilty to play piano to seduce other artist card, maki would have the ability to call her friends from nobuta, nagase would have the abilty to summon his yakuza subordinates.. etc

Haha, nice. Well I suppose we'd need to figure out the logistics of powers being limited to 'types' of units [guys, girls, protagonist, antagonist] and then figuring out powers which can apply to multiple unit types [beauty applies to women and bishi guys, whereas cuteness appllies only to women - to play both sides].

Other ideas?

Summon cost : the controller of this card must wear an afro in order to summon it.
Ability : if Chiaki-senpai is in play, this card cannot be destroy. Can only use once, in the game, shout as loud as you can : " Masumi-chan, Chiaki-kun is in danger", you can remove one Artist card in play out of the game.

I only have a type 1.5 rock deck lying around.
I am considering playing type 2 when July comes.
BB edition is way too cool since the vintage days man! :thumbsup:

Maybe I'll spend some $ and whack some packs @ prerelease to vent out my exam stress.
