Summon Legendary Republican, 2WWW When George W. Bush comes into play, all Dictators in play must be sacrificed. 1W, tap: add "God" to the text of any card. 1WW, tap: remove any homosexual creature from the game. 1WWW, tap: permanently add "Dictator" to any creature's type.

Can someone explain how this game is even played? I know it is a card game involving fantasy shit, but that's really about it. There were a bunch of folks that used to hang out at a local sports bar and play it while I was busy watching basketball and pouring beer down my throat, and I never really had any idea what in the world was going on. I've always been curious, just from a cultural literacy standpoint...

Its a pretty complicated game, well not really but it will take some time to learn all the intracacies of the rules.

Bascially, you and any number of opponents are wizards, and you play out wizarding dual's so to speak. You make your own deck, consisting of various kind's of spells. Certain cards work well together, so you try and build a deck with cards that can all work together in some way. (ie. Say you were to build a deck around Bill here, you would want Democrats and Zombies abroad. A black, white combo deck would probably be good).

You draw seven cards and the person who goes second (and above if more then two) draw 8 cards. Then you lay down "land" cards that are able to produce "mana" to cast the spells in your deck.

Bill clinton ABOVE costs 4 mana to cast, 2 black mana (this has to be from swamp lands or from lands that produce black mana) and 2 of any color mana or colorless mana. Below the numbers 3/3 represent its attack/defense ₧ it can cause. But Bill is a Democrat, and instantly gets +2/+1 and Trample, making it a 5/4 creature. All SUMMON cards are creatures that you can cast, other spells include instant's, sorcerey's, artifacts, and enchantments. Each kind of card has its own rules, when it can be cast, etc. Then you basically just attack your oppenent(s) until they are dead. All players start at 20, but can gain life limitlessly.

I once had a deck I played which was centered around life gaining, and had creatures in it whose attack/defence ₧ depended on my life. Those creature would often times be much more powerful then 20/20, sometimes 100/100 :lol:

Yes it is a nerdy game to play, fun too.

:shock:

Seriously, thanks for the description, I've always wondered. Waaaaaay too complex for my feeble brain, tho...

#364965Post 15 of 19

Nahhh, you've proven time and again I think that you could do it. Its a matter of actually wanting to learn the rules and wanting to play.

Turst me, you don't. Its addicting, and expensive. You have to have every card, or 4 of a specific card so you can utilize it better. After all, having 4 of one card allows you to better control your draws. (4 is the max of a single card you can have in a deck)

Its like chess, stratego, and poker all in one. You have to read your opponent, be able to see if he is bluffing if he/she shows signs of having a particular card. Be able to strategize your attack plans to make sure they succeed. It makes it difficult since there are now 1000's of cards so you have to know what cards can be good with others, be able to know what your opponent is playing by the cards he plays. Its confusing the way I type it here, but you have to be pretty well informed to be good. Of course I used to be good, won a lot of tournaments and stuff. But I had to quit, it just ate too much of my cash.

Same here...drained my bank account big time. So I quit.

Re: Well, even in card games...

i used to have a badass direct damage deck (zero creatures)

it was a channel/fireball red and green deck - tons (4 tops aka tourney rules unless restricted to 1) of mana flares, lightning bolts, fireballs, and whatnot for red, and stream of lifes for green.

i'd be up from 20 health to like 40 or 50 when i killed my enemies most of the time ;)

given the right combination of cards on the first draw (namely a mox & channel) i could kill my opponent before they even took their first turn, but it was a safe bet to say that within 4 or 5 rounds i was the victor 90% of the time against most decks (i.e. ppl stopped playing me cause they knew i'd win)

i still have an original beta timewalk around somewhere in storage..

no disrespect to those who DO play this game.

but if somone showed up to my house with a deck in hand, i would punch you, then pour beer all over you, take you to a strip club, then a bar, then a club. get outside. in the time it takes to play this game (im guessing about an hour???) you could easily slam back 3-6 drinks and get messy with some desparate housewife. remember females? i do. :twisted: :twisted: :D :D

j/k.>?
