Magic: The Gathering - Tutorial Week 5

brief recap of the types of cards we have seen so far and some rule baggage that comes with them.

 

Magic: The Gathering - Tutorial Week 4

solid understanding of timing is essential to good strategy in Magic. We’ll move on directly from last week’s scenario.

I’m going to fast forward these next two turns so You can get to the timing difference between instants and sorceries. I will need both players with all resources unused.

Red plays a creature, Akoum Boulderfoot. Simple ability: when you put this creature down onto the battlefield, you target (aim) at a creature or player. The Boulderfoot will do 1 damage to whatever you targeted, just like that.

Red targets his opponent, so the creature does 1 damage to White. He doesn’t attack and passes the turn. White takes his turn, attacks with the flying Griffin (can’t be blocked since Red has no flying creatures) and doesn’t do anything else.

Back to Red.

Okay, timing. This is rather important and might get a bit complicated, but I will need to show what can and can’t be done with instants and sorceries. This section will showcase cards previously unseen in this tutorial series. I’ve picked a handful of simple cards and erased the story text to make reading easier. And of course, I’ll explain in general what they do.

The Tavern's Cooling Off

Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Tavern is sad to announce that they will be having a short cool off period for about 3 days starting today until Wednesday.

Magic: The Gathering - Tutorial Week 3

et’s see… we left off talking about one-shot cards like sorceries. Guess I’ll need to elaborate on that a bit.

But beforehand, a look at the battlefield as it is now.

As per usual, click on the image to see a larger version.

Post-Imperial Challenge

Thank Shiba for allowing us to proceed with the Tournament and allowing it to run to its completion.

The Tournament had an attendance of 10 of the most honorable samurai that their respective clans could spare. Almost each clan was represented with the exception of Crab due to their current state of difficulty in their lands. The Mantis, trying to outdo themselves as usual had 2 representatives from both the Yoritomo and Kitsune Families.

What follows the break is the slightly more detailed report of the event.

The planeswalking Peddler Has Returned frm S'pore

Once again, yes i was in Siganpore for the past 36 hours.
No i have yet to sleep as usual, but before i lay this weary body to rest i must update all of you on the Limited Time offers that i've brought back with me :)

Magic: The Gathering - Tutorial Week 2

t’s the second instalment of the Planeswalking Peddler’s official Magic: The Gathering Tutorial. Last week we saw what you need to play a game of Magic, how to set one up, and how to both play a simple resource and how to use that resource to put a creature from your hand onto the battlefield. In week two we’ll see a bit more about creatures and go into combat.

When we left off, the battlefield position for White on turn one looked like this:

Magic: The Gathering - Tutorial Week 1

Author's Note: Due to logistic issues, this tutorial was left on hiatus for some time. It is now back with updates every Monday, with a minimum of six episodes. Depending on how things go, tutorials after episode 6 will be geared towards specific game topics. As a measure of apology, episode 2 will also be updated today. End note.

alutations, everyone. Welcome to the Planeswalking Peddler’s official Magic: The Gathering Tutorial. This series of tutorials will be aimed mostly at beginners, but in the later episodes as we get the fundamentals out of the way, we’ll dive deeper into the twist and turns of the game and what advantages you can evoke from the rules.

And before that I suppose I should take time to introduce myself. You may call me Aihiave, or Ai if it’s easier. I have been a long-time player of Magic since 1998, but decided to be more a collector rather than delve into competitive play. The game has been a passion to me as a fount of inspiration for my writing more than as a contest of skill and judgement. Nevertheless I keep myself updated with the latest rules.

And now, on with the show.

Magic is a turn-based strategy game (TBS game, like chess), and is normally played between two opposing players. Both players start with an empty battlefield, and as the game progresses they gather resources to produce units with which to attack the opponent.

Like many other strategy games there are actually multiple ways to win, but the most widely employed way is to reduce the opponent’s life points from 20 down to 0. Summoning creatures and attacking with them is one way to do that. We’ll look at a simple game scenario and I’ll explain what’s going on.

Imperial Orders for Imperial Requests

Scars OF MIRRODIN PrErEleasE!!!

Dear Planeswalkers,

It would Seem that the Phyrexian plague has found yet another plane to claim to its victims.

After the epic events that have occurred in Mirrodin, in which Glissa managed to triumph over memnarch and free the denizens in Mirrodin.

Phyrexian influence has seeped in, and this time to more devastating effects.

Now we head back towards the plane that we have visited once before, to take into full account what the plague can do once more.

On this plane now, the new generation of locally born Mirrans have to find their own way to vanquish this new threat if they are to thrive and survive in the harsh plane of which is Mirrodin.

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen, to the plane of MIRRODIN!!

Whether you decide to back up the Mirrans in their fight for freedom, or decide to assist in the spreading of the Plague, or even want to watch as the events unfold.

The Tavern officially invites you to visit them, as the curtain opens on the dawn of the new age of Mirrodin.

This prerelease, Pick a side or faction you would like to support and see the repercussions of your actions affect your own gameplay and that of the Tavern's Metagame.

FNM Delays

Sincerely,
-The Peddler-

Planeswalked - Singapore - Part 3

Today being the last day i'm in Singapore, I've decided to go scout out all remaining shops that i've missed..
As I've run out of cash to be taking the MRT, no thanks to the MRT guy getting me on the wrong station(i'm sure he means the best for me) I had to walk my way from Outram Park interchange all the way to Jln Bukit Merah.

Planeswalked - Singapore - Part 2

2nd day in Singapore.. been walking up and down the streets the whole day :)
true to their word, gathering zone was not open today either.
just like awakening zone.. it has eluded me.. :(
oh well nonetheless summary of findings for the day :)
the shop in chua chu kang is closed, apparently it has been for a while.
later in Tee Yew, I found that the card shop over there is only selling boosters, like comic connection in Lot 1 Choa chu Kang.
Later, after heading down to Yew Tee. I headed off to Bishan to find Asia Cards Shop, owned by Zack Lim.
A niche little shop in the residential area of Bishan, they have interesting practices and nice players who are interested in both standard and extended fare :)

Later I head to Cardmasters in the Clementi region, a shop owned by a guy named milton, too bad he wasn't around.
Had an opportunity to meet Wynne(hopefully got his name right) and Harry, 2 very nice folks who were nice to talk to :)

as for tomoro, will be heading down to Mag strength marketing in bukit merah :)
hopefully they'll have players there too :)

Singapore Peddling Day 1

There are a few places that have MTG in Singapore that has come to my notice,

• Choa Chu Kang's Avenue 3
• Gathering Zone, Yishun
• Yew Tee
• Hobby SG, Katong Plaza
• Asia Cards Shop, Bishan
• Mag-Strength Bukit Merah

Amongst these, the planeswalker has visited the one in Choa Chu Kang and found it to be what looks like the remnants of a tuition center. (Or it could be a tuition center now, or I could have been misled :( which seems to be more likely)
Gathering Zone on the other hand, is closed till 18th of May, although no reasons were given as to why..

Tomorow, part 2 begins with the continuation of the hunt for the elusive breed of Singapore magic players hahahahahaha...
PS: no offense on the jokes though :S

Planeswalked - Singapore

Ladies and Gentlemen, the peddling planeswalker has arrived in Singapore 2 hours ago and is currently at City Hall.
He is now on the move to visit the local players in this plane to say hi and hopefully establish friendly connections :)
First Stop, Choa Chu Kang MRT Game shop

MTG Tutorials ep 1.1

Introduction

While I do not call myself the best Magic The Gathering player around, a few people have been asking me to post up the basics of the game here. For people to read and refer :)

So I've obliged and shall start posting them once per week :)
The first post will be about LANDS!!! :) and it will start next week :)

Awaiting commentary

Fellow Planeswalkers and daimyos, it has come to my attention during the tour that many people would like to see tips on how to play MTG/L5R placed on the site.
I would like some feedback on this matter as to how should it be posted, whether daily updates, weekly, single post or constant information?
