Card Games

My roommate currently brought his YuGiOh cards to "bring it back".  WTF, that game is so weird.  I used to play magic the gathering back in the day and everything was sensible.  You needed a certain amount of mana to play cards.  With yugioh you just put out one monster card a turn with 4 stars or less.  I doesn't make sense why you would have 2 or 3 star cards in your deck since 4 star cards are usually better and are able to be played similarly.  Then you "tribute" the 4 or less star card to play a higher than 4 star card. 

Magic is way more logical.  I used to know a guy who collected tons of magic cards 10 years ago.  I can't believe how these games are still somewhat popular.  Pokemon, yugioh, and magic have been around for a while if you think about.  The money these guys must be making.  $20 for 60 cards was what I used to pay.

I used to have a Green monster deck, and a zombie deck.  Burn decks were amazing.  Flying decks were annoying as hell.  I think I'll whip out my magic cards over the summer.
