3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great., January 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Deep Magic: Advanced Strategies for Experienced Players of Magic : The Gathering (Paperback)

Baxter's book is old, (at least for Magic) but a lot of the things he talks about are staples for any serious player. When I bought the book, I hadn't been playing for long and it introduced me to several important concepts(card advantage, deck ideas, mana ratios). Baxter's writing style is far from perfect and I would have liked to seen more tournament quality decks in his book. Nor does he cover any element of sealed deck or draft. I guess the bottom line is, if you think you're a good player, skip it. If you're a beginner, give it a try. I'd try something slightly more recent though, if you can find it.

Great book. Mr. Baxter knows what he's doing. A great companion for serious players. Baxter makes the techniques and tactics inherent in MAGIC easy to understand and gives clear explanations on how to utilize these factors

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful, October 21, 1998

Not because of the fact that the information is outdated; this is to be expected in Magic, which changes daily. The atrocity of the book is that it is not for experts at all; much of it is so basic it reads like a manual of How To Play Magic, not how to Win At It.
