Re: I have destroyed some lands this weekend
[ QUOTE ]
Is there actually any skill involved in magic? It seems like it would be very easy to always find the optimal play and you can always copy someone else's deck [/ QUOTE ] In terms of deck building, Magic is more of a team sport, but coming up with the optimal deck is pretty close to optimal. In terms of play, even the best players in the world don't play perfectly. It takes less time to reach the long-run in magic than it does in poker. The variance is significantly lower.

[/ QUOTE ] where does the team play come into effect? for a pro are they able to acquire any card magic has made or are some cards extremely rare and nearly impossible to come across yet very powerful.
