This is a gathering hall for the trading card game, Magic: The Gathering, if you've gathered that from the title.
Also known simply as MTG, this game has the impressive title of the most played trading card game. It's not hard to catch on, once you have the basics down, but learning all of the skills and abilities can take awhile. MTG is based on a 5 color mana system, with multicolored, hybrids, and even colorless cards here and there. The mana colors are red(R), green(G), blue(U), white(W), and black(B). No, I don't fully know why they used U for blue when shorthanding it. On top of that, you have creatures, lands, artifacts, sorceries, instants, planeswalkers, tokens, and enchantments to pay attention to! There are a few guides online that can teach you how to play, if interested.
If anything at all, you can just play MTG just to play, but there is a LOT of depth in their stories, if you look. There are MANY planes across the multiverse, and we've only covered a few. While a few others were covered in phyrexian oil. They didn't last long. Anywho, it's a bit much for me to go in depth here, but the progression is interesting.
So, come in, have a drink, talk to us about your favorite or most disliked cards, what colors you most enjoy or relate to, the planeswalkers, Eldrazi, Phyrexians, any other of the baddies, the latest releases and theories, your BIG FAT deck(s), even your own fanwalkers and fancharacters.
RULES
You know the drill. Basic MS rules here. I'm sure we don't need to post these in full, yes?
Stay moderately on topic. You can stray a little bit, but remember to come back to MTG.
Let's keep things civil. We all have our opinions of Jace, Mirrodin, Nicol Bolas, and so on. You can have opinions on things but don't hate others for having a different opinion.
English please. Sorry, but I only took one language class in high school and that was Latin. I got away with having mainly art classes all 4 years. I can't keep watch on ya in full otherwise. Sorry, friends.
Have fun, ya nubs.

Anything Else?: I don't play AS MUCH anymore, but I still like to collect. I have a binder FULL of dragons, drakes, wyrms, hydras, leviathans, serpents, chimeras, and a few odd things in between. Organized by rarity, color, and alphabetically. Organizing green and blue is the most difficult. Heck, the cards don't even have to be creatures, if they have one of the above themes or creatures in the art. If you know of a good site to post what you've collected, that displays them WELL, let me know.

Anything Else?: I am really stoked there is a MTG guild but you should be warned that I am as new as it comes to this game! My friends have promised to teach me and I have the cards but other than that I am like that super newbie! I hope that's okay. I literally know close to nothing except for a few stories I read.

Anything Else?: Its a pleasure to meet everyone here and I look forward to enjoying lots of games and chats with y'all :3 If anyone has questions about the MtG universe as a whole, I am a font of information on the subject, and I would adore helping anyone learn the game and lore to their heart's content.

Anything Else?: Haven't actually played in years. I started playing with Revised and quit after Urza's Destiny was released (1994-99), because I couldn't afford to keep up with the sets any more. Still have all my cards, but I'd love to sell them.. just can't find anyone who can pay what they're worth, considering my collection goes all the way back to Beta and includes 7 of the 9. I played competitively for a couple of years, mostly in the old Arena format; Southeast Region, Northeast Alabama area.. #3 female/#5 state at my best. I competed in the old Type 2, Type 1.5 and Type 1. My favorite deck was called Cursed Black; based on Juzam Jinns and Cursed Scrolls.

Anything Else?: So I'm like a big big collector but I don't actually play at this moment. I kind of think I'd like to but it's a bit intimating coming into such an established scene so I just lurk on the edges, learning. <_<
