Magic the gathering is a game of wit and investment. Wit is your knowledge of the game, investment is your vast library of ultra rare cards you have spent time and money collecting.
Your goals to become an expert; get better cards, and learn all you can about the game. An expert player will have key cards and vast knowledge of the game. The rules can be confusing at times, and perhaps even contradicting. So just remember, the more you play the better you will get. Learn from past mistakes and try to find key cards.
Since Magic the Gathering was released in 1993 by Richard Garfield thousands of new cards have been added. To this day some of those first cards are still key cards in expert decks.
The right cards for you depends mostly on who you play with.
If you are just starting out the best thing to do is buy two or three starter decks. Try to play against other basic decks at first, you will find cards that are important to your expert deck quickly.
If you have a good deck try pitting it against an expert deck a few times to weed out the useless cards. Play testing is important to finding key cards that you will want in your expert deck.

Why Are Some Cards Better Than Others?

Remember This?
My all time favorite tabletop game is Dungeons & Dragons
Dungeons & Dragons is a role playing game in which player characters can succeed or fail in there actions based upon the roll of a dice. The choices these characters make decide the outcome of the game.One player, the game master (GM), sets up a scenario for the player characters. The GM describes the setting and inhabitants; the player characters describe the actions they are taking, and the GM describes the outcome.
Dungeons & Dragons is a form of interactive storytelling, you are a big part of that story. Every scenario is different, this makes every game unique.
Dungeons & Dragons, published in 1974 by Dave Arneson's and E. Gary Gygax's TSR, was the first commercial role-playing game sold to the public.
Dungeons & Dragons was a subject of controversy in the 1980s when well-publicized opponents claimed it caused negative spiritual and psychological effects. Academic research has discredited these claims.

I'd completely forgotten about Magic the Gathering. It is such a brilliant concept and so well done. I remember it just blew me away when I first encountered it. Time to try some again...

eBay is a great place to buy and sell D&D books and merchandise. I have personally purchased D&D books for my sons on eBay and wonder if I have purchased from you!
I like your introduction and your feedback in the talk bubbles. I'll have to figure out how to add them to my lens about my eBay store.
