No lie, the entertainment those cards brought were priceless. Even tho they were like $7 a booster. And dont get me started on Yu-gi-oh cards.....

ZionsWrath · 09-02-2013, 03:12 AM

I bought them 2.99 + tax back when they were released

When I was a kid I collected the cards but never actually played the TCG...had no interest. I didn't know anyone still played it now.

Yugioh was the shit back in middle school. I played the gameboy games for the adventure aspect .
But Magic was the most strategic and mind numbing fun.

Buy a trainer kit if both of you need to really get a hang of the game. This is two half-decks layed out in order and tells you what to do on you turns. This will give you a good idea. Here is the most recent trainer kit:

Otherwise you might be OK with getting two starter decks. Cheap to get both of you going and has a rule book that pretty much lays everything out along with a playmat to help you get set-up and run the game mechanics.

Examples of the two newest ones:

You can pick these up at Target or Wal Mart the cheapest usually.

I use to collect and play this game. I'm pretty sure between myself and my brothers we probably had over 2k cards (we would play some kids around the neighborhood for keeps).

It was fun

This hater kid got mad once and sprayed some of my cards with a garden hose LOL

the game itself is just based off character actions and hit point/power levels that are on each card. the idea is that you put together you own deck with balanced cards. and you play your card versus your opponents card using the skills labeled on it. when I was young and these were popular the collecting aspect was more entertaining than playing. and at the time of first release I remember seeing in the comic book store a entire pieced together collection I believe 150 cards? and it was selling for $500!!! now I bet you could get it for $1.99 lol

husker741 · 09-02-2013, 01:42 PM

They banned Pokemon cards at my elementary school cuz that's all we did all day and at recess. Then it became like drugs because we would smuggle them into school and trade them under the table. Ah, the good ole days.

Now its opposite, the largest group of players are over 18 and care more about playing. An average deck costs between 100-200. But the sets still cost a few hundred complete for some of the older stuff. I mean there are still ultra rates that cost a few hundred by them self. Lol

Ive got that original set of 150 laying around somewhere. would that be a set that people are interested in? its always interesting how things usually come back around and are coveted again lol
