Okay... so I finally-finally-finally tried magic out.
I have been playing the online version.
I understand that deck construction is an art. And an interesting
strategic
cool thing to do.
Fine.
What I don't get is that it seems to me like the actual gameplay of a
Magic game is pretty easy. I mean I have only played maybe 20 games,
but it seems like you very rarely don't know what your optimal move is
in the game.
This is my complaint about the other card game I played: Game of
Thrones.
The actual gameplay is nearly automatic.
What do experienced Magic players say? Am I right and all the fun is
in deck construction? Or do I just not have enough experience to see
how deep/complicated the actual gameplay can be...
I sort of have this thought that if the game can support a frickin'
Pro Tour then there must be some significant amount of skill that
separates the professionals from the amateurs?
I figure it can't be deck construction b/c the pro-deck constructions
must get out pretty quick and anyone can copy them if they feel
like...
