Hi there everyone.
In case you missed the first part of this article, you can just click here and do a little catch up, if you want…or…
you can just jump right in to part 2 of my overview of Magic the Gathering!
Okay, in my last post, I left off with ” The Colors of Magic ” and gave you a basic run down of Creatures, and I still need to mention items, and how both of these aspects relate to the Colors of Magic so….lets look at those colors again shall we..
In Magic, each of the colors are represented by a land, and each land when ” Tapped ” which means that you turn the card sideways, produces a resource or a ” Mana “.
White- The Plains - When one (1) card is tapped or turned sideways, produces one (1 ) mana of white.
Red- The Mountains- When one (1) card is tapped or turned sideways, produces one (1 ) mana of Red.
Blue- The Islands- When one (1) card is tapped or turned sideways, produces one (1 ) mana of Blue.
Green- The Forests- When one (1) card is tapped or turned sideways, produces one (1 ) mana of Green.
Black- The Swamps- When one (1) card is tapped or turned sideways, produces one (1 ) mana of Black.
And this is what Land cards are used for, to produce Mana.
Now what is this mana used for?
Mana is used to summon ” Creatures ” and “ Items “.
Now lets look at the colors again in reference to ” Creatures ” first.
Creature cards are also given colors.
Some creatures are assigned only one color, while others might be assigned two or more.
Usually a creature that has more than one color will take a few turns ( or rounds ) to summon or bring into play.
They also tend to be cards that have alot of abilities and they tend to be hard to destroy.
More about this aspect in a future post I promise.
Now lets look at ” Items “
Items in Magic also have colors assigned to them, just like creatures do.
You also use mana in order to play an Item card. Item cards are used in Magic to work with other cards in the game.
Item cards can be Equipment cards, Enchantments or Artifact cards.
Equipment cards are usually attached to another card to give this card a ” Bonus ”
Artifacts cards are cards that can either be a creature or an item that can be used by a player
Enchantment cards cause an ” Effect ” that will make the enchanted card stronger.
Here are some examples of cards below that I referred to below…
