Magic the Gathering, a very strategic game


Though not new to the comic world Magic the Gathering to me was a game I never had time for. Truthfully I hadn't given it enough of a chance. Thanks to Geek and Sundry (seriously go check out their website : (http://geekandsundry.com/), and @feliciaday 's stream of the PC version on G&S' twitch channel. Through that I found @Day[9] , Sean Plott the host of Spellslingers. Here is an awesome episode of Spellslingers here

 I finally asked my boyfriend to teach me.  ( He had been asking if I wanted to play  for over two years). After a few weeks of borrowing decks, I picked up a mystery box and a blue deck. They aren't tournament regulation but to learn they work out pretty well.  I like the elements of what a blue deck is capable of, learning quickly Blue is not a deck to start out with! Oi!

I was very lucky that I have a network of nerd (I say that with the highest of compliments). Friends who know the game of Magic far better than me. They have been patient, knowledgeable and very giving.  Thanks Adam for my first 20 sided die.

Walking into a comic shop to buy more magic cards can be an overwhelming experience -especially as a new player- but from the little time I had played and the white Kithkikin deck my boyfriend was awesome to share with me to help me learn the rules.
This is where I developed a love of Flyers.

Check back soon, I will post about favorite cards, progress in game play and new accomplishments. 

Cheers,
