Magic: The Gathering – Arabian Nights

4/5

MTG was the first trading card game. They needed to make money to produce Robo Rally so they made MTG to acquire the funds. MTG has tons of innovation, theme, and amazing artwork. It is hard to rival this game because it has been out since 1993. It is a wonderful competitive card game. Casual MTG is still the #1 way to play. Commander & Draft are okay. 10,000+ plays.

This is an older card game and due to that it has several outdated features. Other games have improved on MTG, but lack innovation or the card pool. This is also a TCG so the pay to win feature exists & the print crappy cards to make people spend more money exists. Simple way around that is to PnP your own stuff at a much cheaper cost and still have fun with the experience. There are better card games. There is no card game with a better card pool.

House rule: update the land system to Duel Masters, Marvel Champions, etc... rules for a more streamlined strategic experience = less luck.

Sweet memories.

Early top-down design set, the only one with a non-original setting. A bunch of crap and situational countermeasures, but also lots of classic cards. Most Kaja Foglio: Bird Maiden. Honorable mention: Dandân.

thematic!

Contained some very powerful cards (Library of Alexandria, for example). Much sought after, so I have sold almost my entire collection of this expansion.

First expansion and true to the background story. Players get to summon some incredible cool creatures and bring in exciting lands. You can really feel the strong thematic dimension here.

Cette extension est devenue mythique même si ses cartes puissantes (à l'époque) peuvent maintenant en faire rigoler certains. J'ai toujours joué à Magic pour me délecter avant tout de ce fabuleux gameplay qui consiste à sortir bestioles et sorts à tout-va en vue de rincer son adversaire. L'univers de Magic est un enchantement, et celui de Arabian Nights l'est particulièrement, voyez plutôt ce qu'on nous proposait : Bazaar of Baghdad, Juzam Djinn, Library of Alexandria, Shahrazad, City of Brass, Ali from Cairo etc etc. Illustrations magnifiques bien sûr. Pour moi la plus belle et la plus diabolique des premières extensions.
