Hey guys newbie looking to learn
« on: July 06, 2014, 07:59:25 PM »
Hi everyone.  I am a newbie looking to learn how to play magic.  I have been playing the game on my iPad and find it addicting.  I am getting the hang of it but I am still confused about enchantments and some card wordings.  I just purchased two Journey into Nyx starter deck to play for real.  Is there a good day to go to the Abington store to learn how to play ?  I would be able to go at night since I work  during the day.  I saw on Tuesday there is a commander day is that a good day to learn?  Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Quincy magic guy,
Commander is fun but in my opinion can be the most complicated. You're on the right track though buying the current set. I would like to teach if we can work out the details. I work M-F until 3:30 my apartment is always open and our complex has a "common place game "room building also. Or at the store but my wife has the car a little latter than ideal most nights but I could make it work.

I find myself as a player getting better by regularly attending Friday night drafts, you don't need anything but some money and you will regularly get new often good cards and play against at least 3 people.

I am in weymouth, I just moved recently and could use friends anyway! Email me or txt 978 877 2121

What's up Hutch.  Thanks for the offer but I would rather start out playing at the battle ground store.  I can probably be there around 6:30 7

I can go over the rules, basics of how to play, and some more advanced strategy with you.  I regularly play on Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday and Friday, though I miss one day each week.  I am at the store from about 5:300 till 11.  If you have any question my name is Chris Curtin and the person behind the counter in Abington can point me out.
