Magic: The Gathering

As of the date I am writing this, 11210 different magic cards have been printed, with different meaning "having a different name". Using the following Gatherer search can give you a more up to date number: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&cmc=+>=[0]

There are booster packs for each set/expansion released.

Each year, there is a new core set and three expansion sets released, so at least 4 new types of booster packs would be released.

Creatures cannot be 'attacked' in Magic the Gathering. Players are attacked, and creatures are declared as blockers, although there are a few special abilities that can force things to attack or block.

A tapped Planeswalker can be attacked, as per the usual rules for declaring attacks against Planewalker cards.

Targeting a creature with a damage dealing spell or ability is not 'attacking' them. The creature being tapped has nothing to do with its targeting eligibility, it can still be targeted by cards that deal damage.

Damage spells never target Planewalkers directly, the cards target the controlling player and the damage redirected to the Planeswalker from there. This can be done to a tapped Planeswalker.

If you gain 10 of them in any way, you lose the game.

No, they do not. It would not affect them in any way though, the only Planeswalker affected by tapping is Gideon Jura.

In the bottom right there are numbers on creature cards X/Y. X= creature's attack power were y= creature's toughness.

The first release of Magic the Gathering cards was on August 5, 1993.

Whatever someone is prepared to pay for it.

For an idea, I would look at somewhere like StarCityGames (USA) or MagicMadhouse (UK) these are prices people might pay for cards, eBay completed listings will show what people are paying for cards.

Which if you'd done that in the first place, you'd have an answer before you'd written your original question.

On all magic cards from "Exodus" (circa 1999) to present, there is a small symbol at the bottom right of the illustration that signifies what set a magic card is from. The trick is being able to put a name to each different symbol.

Multikicker is an additional cost, and functionally it is just like the regular Kicker mechanic, but you may pay it multiple times. The exact cost and effect of a specific Multikicker is listed on the card itself, as it can differ from card to card.

So take 'Comet Storm' which costs XRR, and has a Multikicker of 1. You could have X as 2, and Multikick it twice, meaning you pay 2, RR, and another 2 as an additional cost. Comet Storm's multikicker says "Choose target creature or player, then choose another target creature or player for each time Comet Storm was kicked. Comet Storm then deals X damage to each of them." so you pick three targets in total, and Comet Storm deals 2 damage to each of them.

it means if the oppdent is making a speel you can counter it and send it to the graveyard before they use the efect

When your Stuffy Doll enters play, you choose one player. If any damage is dealt to Stuffy Doll, then Stuffy Doll deals that much damage to the chosen player.

So if Stuffy Doll is in play, and you use Pyroclasm (deal 2 damage to all creatures) then two damage will be dealt to Stuffy Doll, which in turn will deal 2 damage to the chosen player (Stuffy Doll itself survives because it is indestructable). If it blocks a 6/6 creature, it will take 6 damage and deal 6 damage to the chosen player, etc.

Lastly it has an effect where it can deal 1 damage to itself, which will then be dealt to the chosen player. So even if the opponent isn't doing anything that could damage your Stuffy Doll, you've still got a way for it to be doing something.

13+ by the company that makes the cards but i would say 11+ because that's the age i started.

Sadly my Target never haves any Magic, but their prices should be normal retail price, ~4$ for a pack, ~12$ for a intro deck, 40$ for a fat pack, ~30$ for premium decks; unless its older, likes slivers. And i know Target sometimes has little 'special deals' like most big name retailers do with tcgs, I've seen two kinds, one is a two deck pack for ~25 or ~15 (it was a while ago, i apologize), usually intro decks, that can be very profitable (some have come with one commander deck and another random intro deck) or a huge waste (Like one intro deck and a 'deck' of basic lands, which is what i got of course :( ). They also have a 'throwback' pack, containing one new set (Scars block usually), and one older set pack (I've seen odyssey all the way to shadowmoor), these usually run at 12$. Hope this helps, and sorry if you live outside of the U.S.

This question is very subjective. it comes down to what you play and what you like to play and what you are comfortable with.AFAIK "Keeper" has never won a major tournament, best placing that I can find is 4th.In Vintage the most consistent decks are Noble Fish/Fish, Tezzeret, Dredge, Affinity, Painters.Dredge has the potential for a firt turn kill and can more consistently win by the third turn, as can Liche's Channel.Legacy: CounterTop, Thopter Depths, Dreadstill, Mono Blue Painter's Stone.

A Planeswalker is someone of a sapient species like dragon or vedalken who can traverse the multiverse in the Magic: The Gathering story. Most stories now revolve around these Planeswalkers as they are certainly more powerful than most other characters simply because of their amassed knowledge of other worlds.

A permanent with shroud cannot be the target of spells or abilities.

For the most part, Phage was a servant of the First of The Cabal, the leader of an evil group of black-magic aligned summoners and sorcerers.

Magic has 5 different colors, each of them has specific characteristics (e.g white is good, green is nature) Black colored cards often represent the evil and dark side spells and creatures. Black characterizing creatures are vampires, demons and zombies among others. In some older cards' illustrations a pentagram would appear, these illustrations have been changed when the card was reprinted. This was to avoid any discussion about relation of Magic with satanism. There is no proof of any relation with satanism as the cards often have only a name that could generate controversy, and never describe anything similar to a satanic ritual, only their effect on the game. Even if the illustrations of black cards often do picture demonic creatures, these are usually extracted from and inspired by folkloric culture, and not satanic books or rituals. In magic, there are more Angels (that are also the most popular and powerful creatures) then Devils (also quite popular). (by TheOmniscient)

That's the 'generic' mana cost, which can be paid with mana of any colour, or simply with plain colourless mana.

So as an example, 'Sun Titan' has 4 W W on the top right corner. That means his 'converted mana cost' is 6, and he requires two of that to be White Mana, the other four can be any mana.

At the beginning of the game Seven.

During the game, you can have a unlimited numbers of cards in hand.

However, during your discard phase (before the end of the turn) if you have more than seven, you must discard as many cards to keep seven (except when a spell (enchantment) or a effect in play authorizes more than seven cards during this phase).

NB: Starting hand sizes can be modified during game variants, like Vanguard.

That depends on if the starter deck is sealed or not.

If it is open, the cards and their condition.

There is no burn card that does the most damage. Many burn cards have X in their casting cost and do X damage where X is extra mana paid and could be (theoretically) any number. Lightning Bolt is the most efficent burn card (R for three damage) magiccards.info is a great source with advanced search parameters to help you find what you are looking for.
