Magic The Gathering: Zendikar Expansion Event

// September 26th, 2009 // View Comments // Blog, Gaming

I recently started playing the Magic The Gathering card game. I have some friends that are trying to teach me the ropes but I love learning new games on my own through trial and error and online examples. This past weekend, I was invited to the local Zendikar Expansion Pre-Release Tournament on 09/26. I have only played a couple of times so I felt kind of intimidated. My friend Jason told me to come along and just play to have fun, so I did.

When I showed up for the tournament, it cost $25 to register and you were given 6 booster packs to build your own playing deck of 40 cards. I was lucky to have some friends give me pointers on color choices, what to keep, what to set aside, etc. There’s a lot to learn but that’s what draws people. I can see how the game can get addictive the more you play.

Since I was a big time newbie to the game, I prepared myself mentally to get pwned. I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly most of my opponents were and offered little tips on what I did wrong (after I did it of course). Trial by fire is the best way to learn, I always say. One of the bad side effects of my newbage was how slow each round went since my opponent had to explain what they were doing or some of the game mechanics to me. For two of the five rounds we were the last to finish while people everyone else stood around waiting. As you guessed it, I didn’t win a single round or game for the whole tournament but I still had a good time. I played the tournament mainly to learn how to play and hang out with friends.

Keep reading if you want to see the new features in Zendikar.
