Why don't people play Magic?

Well, magic was the first of all of them so, bleh.

I currently play pokemon TCG and Magic, and I love both.... I'v been playing Magic sence Ice Age and I loved every minute I'v played it. I'm geting a booster box of 'Dark Steel', the next set in magic, this saturday, and I'm very happy. :D
 
magic dose not surpass yugioh magic sux yugioh ruls after u play magic for 1 day it gets boring and once someone has something stronger than u your finished but ot with yugioh there is always a way out
 
Perhaps Magic will get popular if there was a t.v. show with it.
I'm into Yu-gi-oh because I'm good at it and it's very funny getting my friend killed with my deck.
 
"magic dose not surpass yugioh magic sux yugioh ruls after u play magic for 1 day it gets boring and once someone has something stronger than u your finished but ot with yugioh there is always a way out"

I'd have to say that's not the case. I think IMO that it's vice versa. I feel that in magic, there is always a way out of a jam or a mistake (aka a light of hope), whereas in YGO, one slip and you get slapped by Vampire Lord, Yata, and spirit reaper (true story, happens too often, too). It becomes a completel lockdown and you lose no matter what. In magic, the jams tend to be the small things, like being mana screwed or being mana flooded, not a 1-card combo that locks you down completely.

But again, I don't know where you play. Maybe you don't face the annoying Yata day in and day out. Maybe in magic you're facing a black lotus with channel/fireball 1st-turn kill deck (though I highly doubt anyone actually having the 3000 dollar card, plays type 1, and bothers toplay outside of type 1 tournaments). I don't know, but one thing is for sure: Magic decks always have a weakness. YGO? Beatdown wins again for the infinite number of times. I happen to like the free-flowing style with more deck varieties. Again, no offense.

btw, since you've played magic, can you briefly describe the game itself? Maybe what tapping, stacking, starting life count, maximum hand count, minimum deck count, different formats that you can play, what the 4 newest blocks are, who made it, what lands are, what enchantments are, what artifacts are, when Mirage was printed, when Magic started, why lightning bolt is 100% better than shock, what a deck archetype is, what is the most prevelent deck archetypes in the 3 most current blocks, and how many sets Rebecca Guay hasn't done any illustrations on magic yet? I mean, you should be able to at least know quite a few of these, considering I've explained them all before to magic starters.

No clues, Neko. :P
 
I collect magic, have not bought any since scourge, but I still love it, much better art than that pile of- I mean Yugi crap, And the books are very good, magic all the way, 'course SOCOM is better than cards but still...
 
This is a question that even I don't understand. Magic surpasses YGO in every way except for stupidity in boosters (admit it, a booster in YGO sucks badly. Most commons can't even be used.)

So I don't get why other than YGO is the current fad. Any ideas?

First of all those little stupid cards are useful in case of some cards like Banisher of Light or Gravity Bind =). second of all magic is way better than Yu-Gi-Oh the card game is a lot more strategic and it has been around (the card game in america at least) longer. Yu-Gi-Oh is overrated XD thats my opinion. It will start to fade just like Pokemon did its a fad face it.

Well, Magic is rarely played because


-it's expensive for good cards

-there is no story along with it to juice up the game

- it's very gorey

-and kinda is a sign of the devil

1.true some of the better cards are expensive but Yu-Gi-Oh isnt exactly "cheap" either.

2.There is a storyline to magic btw a very long one actually XD.

3.It is only a card game though the card art is pretty gory on some cards.

4.Well the devil has nothing what so ever to do with Magic exept they have demons and stuff but so does Yu-Gi-Oh.
 
The only thing about Magic is that there are brand new abilities in evry single set therefore, the rules change a lot...thats what someone else said
 
Actually, that's what keeps me in magic. If they odn't release new mechanics every time, I'm going to lose interest (and most vets agree with me here). Once you're into the magic setting, then this becomes very important to u. And u know the rest of it. :P
 
ya once u think ur the master, a new set comes out with stuff like last word or darksteel collosus that'll kill u...its crazy
 
according to my resources yugioh's going down
WAY down
magic however has lived for about more than 15 years
the difference is because Magic's plot 1st came from the cards
yugioh's card game is from the show
but because magic has no plot it's still up and running
 
Warning! Warning! Revive! Revive!
actually MTG sort of has a plot...in the books...
 
actually the cards were created first believe it or not
and then the book came
but you don't see magic the gathering on tv
the very 1st day magic is scheduled on tv is gonna be the very last day of since i will ever play any card games
