This review is from: Dominating Dominia: A Type II Tournament Player's Guide for Magic : The Gathering (Paperback)

This book was at one time the best book concerning Magic. If you wanted to know how certain decks worked, then this book tells you. It also tells you what to do against these decks. yes, this book is horribly outdates, which is true for most any Magic book (which is why so few get printed anymore.) Still, for information concerning the past of MTG, plus loads of indpiration for making new decks and have casual decks that are blasts from the past, you can't beat this book.

This book is pretty cool even though it is a little dated. Chapter 3: fast mana sources available to Type II decks. Chapter 5: Metagame. Chapter 7: How to use Nevinyrral's Disk correctly (16 interesting pages). Chapter 8: Using Jayemdae Tome. Chapter 9: Millstone Decks. Chapter 10: Power Surge and Manabarbs Decks. Chapter 11: Zur's Weirding Decks. Chapters 12: Winter Orb Decks. Chapter 13: Stasis Decks. Chapter 14: The 5 basic decks (Hand Destruction, Counterspell, Burn, Fast Creature, & Land Destruction).

1.0 out of 5 stars Over the hill, January 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Dominating Dominia: A Type II Tournament Player's Guide for Magic : The Gathering (Paperback)

This book is virtually useless except as a reminder of old decks. Nearly every deck contains multiples of cards that have long since been restricted, making them illegal in every DCI sanctioned format.
