Playing MTG at home
Thursday, November 11th, 2004You have surely noticed how boring MTG can become if you like the game but have no time to participate in serious tournaments - or simply spend every evening in your local MTG club. Purchasing new sets or separate cards can become rather expensive, and pleasure of having them is long-lasting no more.
In this case you can either quit playing the game or invent new rules of your own.
Here’s what I suggest:
Take a hundred of random cards for two players (if there’re more than two players, add another 50 for a player).
When the game begins, each has 43 random cards in the deck and 7 in hand.
Each turn, a player can take _any land_ he thinks appropriate. The land can be played instantly.
Then, it’s quite the same - draw cards, fill your mana pool, play combinations.
The good thing about it is: you never know what comes next and you always have mana to play it. The strategy of the game will always be different, making the game a real massacre.
Experiment and have fun.
