This review is from: Mastering Magic Cards: An Introduction to the Art of Masterful Deck Construction (Paperback)

I have read this book cover to cover one ten times! This book not only helps you learn how to build competitive decks, it helps you understand why you should build the deck how you are building it. It has a formula for building decks which I never ignore. I learn more and more from this book each time I read it. No matter if you are the world champion or you just learned howw to play, you should definitly read this book. A must for any magic player!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good teaching tool for building competitive Magic decks., December 21, 1996

This review is from: Mastering Magic Cards: An Introduction to the Art of Masterful Deck Construction (Paperback)

This is an informative Magic-TG guide for beginners and purists alike. There are many useful techniques for playing and especially constructing a good deck. It also includes several decks that are actually easy to assemble with the purchase of a few cards. On the downside, some of the decks included require cards that are out-of-print or otherwise too expensive for the casual player and the card list is outdated beyond Fallen Empires. Otherwise, a worthwhile purchase for any Magic player

The book doesn't teach you much on the strategy on MTG. It's just too simple. For the thickness of this book, I expected more from it.
