For example, if I want to play a very powerful card named Vincent (featured below) on turn 1, I could put two cards from my hand into the break zone to play him. You may discard cards into the break zone (discard pile) from your hand in order to gain two energy of that card’s element. However, with most things in this game, there’s a twist that sets it apart and adds new layers on old strategies. Here’s why you shouldn’t overlook this game, whether you play Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon, or another popular card game.įirst of all, the mechanics in the game will feel very familiar to anyone who has played Magic or Pokemon, with cards called backups taking the place of lands/energy in those respective games. Then a coworker introduced me to the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game, and I now have a new favorite hobby and a few new friends.
While a difficult decision, I told myself it was for the best and that I was over the collectible card phase in my life. A couple months ago, I made the decision to sell off all 15,000+ Magic The Gathering cards I had amassed over 18 years of playing/collecting.
