Magic: The Gathering – Apocalypse

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This is an older card game and due to that it has several outdated features.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.

Strong end to Invasion block's enemy color meddling with pleanty of good cards and a dull storyline. This is where I hopped of the MtG bandwagon. It had become too generic fantasy with dull art and dull background story. Readying to start my step to board games.

8 (5+ Plays) Some highly played cards in this set. I definitely made a deck with Spirit Monger and Vindicate.

Top 8 Favorite Cards

Concluding the excellent Invasion cycle - now featuring even multi-colored cards of opposing (in the Magic sense) Colors.
