Magic: The Gathering-Fifth Edition Trading Card

Pros: Challenging and never the same;adults enjoy playing it as much as the kids.
Cons: You get hooked and want to buy all the cards!

Years ago we decided to make a family game night part of our routine. We mark it on our calendars and when something else comes up, we apologize and say, "Gee, I'm busy that night..."
When our son was five he wanted to learn Monopoly. We played...

Pros: The complexity & strategy behind the cards! Never the same game twice!!
Cons: This game can be very expensive! "Warning" very addictive!

Ok before you start out to build a deck you must first decide what color or colors you wanna use.Each of the five colors in Magic has some things it does very well and other things it does poorly or not at all.Keeping these specialties in mind will help...

Pros: very DETAILED game... wont play the same game twice! LARGE variety of cards too!!
Cons: can get very expensive, if you want 4 of each card, or specific cards!

Ok... I honestly DON'T know why this is in the kids and family section... because I know this game really belongs to the teens and adults, due to the nature of the game and the artwork on the cards. There are also several cards out there that would...

Pros: Never the same game twice.
Cons: Can be hard to learn - best to be taught by a seasoned player.

I was introduced to the world of Magic: the Gathering almost four years ago - and I was hooked from the start.

Reading the instructions and trying to understand the game is next to impossible until you have actually sat down and gone through a...

Pros: great thinking game
Cons: mucho buckos for the rarer cards

Well, for those who read the basics of the game in my previous review, I wanted to write a little bit more about the game, that I had left out in my first opinion. This is simply a couple of additions...

Another reason why this game shines...

Pros: Simple idea but can be very complex and great fun
Cons: You can spend a lot building decks

I have been playing this game for many months. It is a fabulous card game and my household is completely addicted to it, also converting my daughter's friends and cousins. The aim of the game is rediculously simple, destroy your opponent before he...

Pros: The game itself is great...
Cons: Some of the byproducts (Money, players) are not so great.

Let me give you a little background. I'll be the first to admit as a pre-teen/ early teenager, I wasn't the world's most socially adapted kid. I spent alot of time alone or with my best friend, and we played alot of video games and role playing style...

Pros: It's hard to be bored when two friends are each carrying a deck.
Cons: Addictive, with a capital A. This game will become your life, drain your wallet, make your girlfriend dump you, etc etc.

Yes, I was addicted. But was it to drugs, or booze, or perhaps women, you say? No, it was a card game from the rpg upstarts at Wizards of the Coast. A game that allowed them to come out of nowhere and eventually take over the role-playing market, going...

Pros: Excellent strategy card game
Cons: Can be addictive and expensive.

Those of you bought up playing AD&D and reading Fantasy novels are sure to love this game. Magic the Gathering is a strategic card game where you select a deck of creatures and items that will hopefully defeat your opponents deck.

There...

Pros: endless variations and combinations and fun and some of the cards can be worth a pretty penny as well
Cons: very addictive

Magic The Gathering has been a pennacle of strategic card games for a years.
It began with the Alpha version of the set which contained hundred or more cards. Nearly every card set of this nature that has spawned in the past few years should...

Pros: wide card range. complete set able to use without others, nice artwork, fun game, challenging, covers a wide age group
Cons: too much play can wear out cards unless you buy card covers, addictivity of game causes you to want to buy tons of expansion sets to best your opponent...(con?)

I had seen this game played by a group of friends and was *Pardon the pun* spellbound. After finding this game's package in a hobby store, I found the game easy enough to learn but challenging and fun enough for people in a vast age group. I saw kids...

Pros: Oh yeah, the game's kinda cool
Cons: Magic leads to social isolation. Teach your kids the value of Old Spice!

I don't have to tell you what the world thinks of Magic players. They're fat, smelly games who live at home in their parents' basements.

Is this stereotype true? Yes! As a former Pro Magic player (I attended several Pro Tournaments around the...

Pros: Great Game, Makes You Think
Cons: TOO EXPENSIVE

Although I don't play Magic anymore, I have to admit- it is a great game that really makes you think. Having said that, the prices are just ridiculous. Three dollars for a pack of cards is just too much. The one positive about the price is that the...

Pros: help with math and readding skills, help with socail life
Cons: people that make claims about magic that dont know what they are talking about

i read through other epinions of magic and the one that dont like it dont know what there talking about

yes it is expensive(over that last 5 years ive spent any were from 500-1000 dollars on it)but it si worth it. it is something to do on...

Pros: I like it lot because it makes you think
Cons: for people who hate complicated games

I think this game at first scared me. I learned with a good friend. The first day, he explained me about the colors(black, green, blue,
white, and red). The good thing about these is that each color has their good and bad; for example, blues have...
