Both games require strategic thinking, long-term planning, and an eye for advantageous openings. Both are one-on-one strategy games at the simplest level, your creatures are your chess pieces and your spells are simply one extra layer of support for them.
Magic shares some similarities with chess, but it also features some very key differences. It's not particularly scientific, but when I can only give a one-sentence, cocktail-party answer to their question, I might say, "You can think of Magic as a cross between chess and playing-card games." So without further ado, let's take a look at the gameplay of Magic.
HOW DO YOU PLAY MIND MAGIC PRO
The goal is to take you from the most basic concepts of Magic all the way up to playing at a competitive, Pro Tour Qualifier (PTQ) level. Nonetheless, my writing will be for absolutely anyone, at any level of expertise, who might one day aspire to play competitive Magic. This column won't feature much about Magic storyline, art, or collecting.
HOW DO YOU PLAY MIND MAGIC PROFESSIONAL
Today, I'm a full-time professional Magic player and writer. My name is Reid Duke, and over the span of the last nineteen years (since I was five years old), I've been all of the people above: the player, the deck builder, the collector, and the lover of the Magic world. It's just as well-suited for players like myself, who play every day of their lives, as it is for players like so many of my friends, who only get to play on occasion, once every year or two.Īlong those lines, I suppose I ought to introduce myself. Magic is for the collector, the deck builder, the lover of the game's lore or art, and-of course-the player. I feel comfortable making this bold claim in part because Magic: The Gathering can suit itself to the needs of so many different people. "So what is Magic?" Is a question that I'm setting out to answer-in short today, and in depth in this ongoing column. For the majority of the people who make up our they, Magic is a completely different world. Even for gamers, the small details about Magic-and more importantly, their consequences-are difficult to grasp. They know playing-card games like bridge, but again, Magic isn't quite one of those either.
They know chess, but Magic isn't quite chess. This is destined to be a universal question because Magic: The Gathering is so much different from, quite frankly, everything else. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, girlfriends, boyfriends, coworkers, strangers, everyone-they.
