Fantasy Wargames Forums

Was at Jasons shop today and hes got some magic the gathering in the current core set, was wondering if any one has got any of this set and if its worth picking up some boosters?

Thanks Bennett

If you are talking about "Magic 2010" then yes I have lots and yes it is awsome.

By far the best set they have printed in years for the following reasons.

- There are very few bad cards, more or less every card has a use so no more opening pack to completely usless rares like the "laces" for those who remember.

- Flavour, the whole set has been designed with a classic fantasy feel to it. Where as previous core sets used all reprinted cards which gave the sets a disjointed feel this one has lots of brand new cards designed to fit in with a classic fantasy setting.

- Price. This seems a strange one as the packs are more expensive than ever but I play alot of magic and mainly buy singles off the net or ebay. 2010 is wizards attempt to stop people doing this so they have filled it with so many money cards it make buying boosters worth while again as if you open good or even OK pack you could sell your rares and make back a reasonable percentage of the money you spent in the first place.
The cards to look for in particular are the mythic rares especially the planeswalkers and if you happen to open a "Baneslayer angel" thats worth a nice £25 on its own.

Hope this helps and I hope everone buys loads.

P.S. Jason you owe me 20

20 what

I might be up for a booster draft, but i dont think we will be able to take poultry up to the club to make a rooster raft xD

a rooster raft is like a booster draft exept you do it blindfolded

wots a booster draft?

There are a few different ways to do a booster draft, but i think the most common is that each player buys like 4 boosters.

Then each players opens one booster at a time and take a card they like then passed that booster to one direction and recieves a booster from the opposite direction and then takes a card from the new booster and passes it again, you do this until all the cards in the booster are used up and then until all the boosters are used up.

You usually play with a smaller deck size.

thats the basics im sure someone can expand on the above with abit more detail.

thats basically right ( only 3 boosters and you get land seperate )
also only min 40 card decks

I know the Booster Draft comment was over a month ago but I'd be up for doing one now and then as I need to add cards to my collection as I'm starting from scratch!
