Magic: The Learning

I play Magic: The Gathering. I’m not very good. The people I play with are very good. I get beaten. A lot. I need to fix this.

We all know that the only way to get better at something is to upload the skill from the Matrix practice, practice, practice. So with that in mind, I’m heading out on Sunday night to a Magic tournament so I can test my skills against some different people and maybe pick up a few hints and tricks. Who knows, I might even win.

With a hectic social calendar small and demanding child to look after, getting nights out is difficult, and these things have a nasty habit of clumping together, so I’m actually missing a rum cake party (a rum party may have been irresistible but rum cake I can handle) and another celebratory event just so I can sit in a room full of guys playing cards. Luckily I have a very understanding wife who happens to have a thing for geekiness.

Oh dear, we really have turned him to the dark side…
Out of curiosity, where & when? And what format?

For the record we’re probably somewhere between passing fair and very good. It’s been a long time since any of us played competetive M:tg even semi-seriously.

T, there was no tournament, it was all a ruse to hide the fact that we were hosting a baby shower for P and J. We’re sneaky like that.

I have definitely been turned to the dark side though.

It’s not your skill that is “not very good”, you need better cards, and that costs $$$. Mike got significantly “better” after building 3-4 $100 decks.
All you have to do is go without food for a couple days and spend that money on cards! It’s so easy!
