And yes you are totally correct Pokemon copied off of it. I was more using that as a way to describe the game to people who haven't played the game. I started playing recently because I was given several decks by a guy that quit. However most of them are out of date so I will need to buy some more. Thanks for the comment its nice to get feedback on these posts.Schemeschwimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019716412025903179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9033367902548140371.post-22572048733797737662014-01-27T07:21:09.505-08:002014-01-27T07:21:09.505-08:00Great analysis.

Probably the most important is, in my opinion, why Magic the Gathering Online has seen so much success: the online game and the physical game are interchangeable. The online cards can be traded in to Wizards of the Coast for physical versions of the same cards. Also, MtG isn't like Pokémon, but the other way around. Magic was around long before Pokémon, and Wizards actually created the Pokémon trading card game to try and draw younger fans into the TCG scene. Cool stuff, though. My wife and I both have been on a recent MtG kick and have been playing nonstop. Nice to see we're not alone.mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12395672985123838966noreply@blogger.com
