Magic: The Gathering

A tip card is a non-playable card included in most MTG booster packs. When they first started they were cards with gameplay tips printed on them, currently some have tips and some are just promotional or have tokens printed on there reverse. It is not included in the pack count.

The six-card packs are about a dollar, the 15-card packs are about three dollars, the intro packs are about twelve dollars, and any pack bigger than that ranges from twenty to thirty dollars.

Sadly there is no 'MtG' playing app on the app store. Though there are two other options you can take, one is called "Decked", while it is a pricey penny, its a very good app, mostly used for creating decks, it has a testing feature that's somewhat similar to playtesting with a real deck. If you're just looking for something to do on a bus, I'd recommend an app called "Shadow Era", somewhat similar to magic, its the best tcg game on the iphone, and it has great connectivity with an online version, and best of all its free (besides buying packs or extra decks). Hope these help

The damage itself doesn't matter, Indestructable creatures can't be destroyed by damage. A 3/3 Indestructable creature could have 0, 1, 3, or 100 damage counters on it, and it would be fine, but if a -3/-3 effect is then used on it, it dies because its toughness has reached 0. The amount of damage on it at that point is irrelevant.

like of like an expiration date for a card. in other words how long it lasts on the playing field

During your upkeep, you must pay a cost identified by the amount of Age Counters on the permanent, if you can't, the card is then sacrificied. Comparable to Cumulative Upkeep.

Force of Will

One method is to pick a specific effect or style and only choose cards that focus on that effect or style. Focusing your deck in this manner improves your chances of drawing a card useful to your strategy. For example, in a deck based on spells that do direct damage (a Burn deck), incorporating spells with other effects such as healing you or forcing an opponent to discard (while not bad spells in and of themselves) water down your goals. Another way would be to make sure your mana curve is reasonable. Too many expensive spells make it more likely that you will have cards in your hand that you can't cast. If you are finding you don't have enough mana during play, consider adding more land cards, or replacing mana heavy spells with more cost efficient cards. The opposite is true if you constantly have too Much mana and not enough creatures or spells (referred to as Flooding) remove some lands or add more creatures/spells. Hope this helps!

People are ravenous for magic cards on ebay. If you look up what they are going for and put the auction for less you probably will sell it. btw what are you selling? I might be interested.

Generally Selesnya (White/Green) are token heavy colors. Mono Red can be goblin generators as well.

After downloading the Magic the Gathering: Online open the program. It should lead to a login screen.

Some cards are large, to make it clear they are not supposed to be placed in your deck. These include Plane cards, which go in their own deck, as well as Vanguard cards, which start the game as an active effect.

At other times, the large cards are just for fun, they are oversized promotional versions of a few fan favourite cards, but have no game value, just are collectors items.

No, The only fees for MTGO are the $9.99 US install fee and any charges incurred for product or tournament entry.

Yes there are

No, creature type is the entry occurring after the hyphen. The 'artifact' in the line 'artifact creature - X' is either an additional card type or a supertype, most likely the former.

Youll notice that demons and angels dont work well together in a deck unless your rocking black angels like fallen and crypt. My suggestion is to go Demon ogre or angel soldier

Hexproof is a keyword ability. Something with hexproof cannot be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control. Note that if you control a creature with hexproof, and then an opponent gains control of it, you can't target it anymore.

You can find tournaments for magic cards at Magic The gathering in San Francisco,Ca or at 2154 university ave. in Berkeley,Ca.

Depends what you are after. Green and Blue tend to be the most popular with White, but red and Black also go very well with White. Take a look online at some decks and it will give you a god idea.

'REL' is rules enforcement level. It determines what the penalty is for each infraction. At low REL events (prereleases, etc) most infractions just carry a warning. At higher levels (PTQs, etc) the same infractions may carry a game loss.

In Magic: The Gathering, preventing all combat damage does not counter or negate deathtouch. Deathtouch means that any amount of damage dealt by a creature with deathtouch is enough to destroy another creature, regardless of how much damage is actually dealt. If combat damage is prevented entirely, then there is no damage dealt, and thus the deathtouch ability won't trigger. However, if a creature with deathtouch deals damage, even if that damage is prevented, it can still be relevant in combat interactions.

It has two meanings in English: First of all it's the sheet usually made of cotton used to cover or wrap a corpse (a dead person) in - we also call it a winding sheet because it is 'wound' around the dead body. On a sailing ship it is a part of the rigging that holds the mast or the top-mast in place, known as standing rigging because it is only removed if the mast has to come down for some reason. Rigging means all the ropes that either keep the masts and spars in place or control the sails.

The Phoenix can rise from its own ashes.

Since you don't attack creatures in Magic (you declare attacks, and the opponent may choose to block if he wants) then it's almost a moot point. Technically a Planeswalker could become tapped and be attacked, however the outcome is no different. Nor is there any difference if a creature declares a block, and then becomes tapped.

Yes, attackers attacking a Planeswalker can still be blocked by the defender's creatures.
