I spent $100 to buy this book and found it well worth it. Other MTG books age, this does not. Jamie Wakefield is very entertaining.

4.0 out of 5 stars Share Jamie's tourney experiences, October 22, 1999

This review is from: Tournament Reports for Magic: The Gathering (Paperback)

Magic has got to be one of the most fun games ever created, and even reading about someone elses partaking in that fun makes for an enjoyable reading experience. Jamie's book is pretty much a personal dairy completely pertaining to his preparation for and in Magic tournaments.

He'll give you some idea about what makes a tournament winning deck, of course, only your practice will ever perfect this. He opened my eyes to the fact that a majority of the decks are built around the key cards of each color. i.e. If you're playing black, you're probably facing Necro. What this means for you--even if you don't get to play frequently--is you can browse the internet to find out the trend decks or cards and be pretty certain you'll face them on the tournament scene. Right now, Masticore and Cursed Scroll seem to be biggies for several of the top decks.

In a sentence, you can learn a lot about what to expect at Pro Tours without ever leaving your home. This book was a fun read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Go ahead and try to pry this book from my hands..., January 10, 1999

This review is from: Tournament Reports for Magic: The Gathering (Paperback)

My name is Tom Teman and I'm from Israel. some of u may know me as mtg_addict. This book just kept me tentalized. When u read this book u just hope that Jamie wins. u find yourself reading franaticly through the pages, passing some words just wanting to see who won. ALl of the decks Jamie played appear in the end and its nice to look at them, and if u are a vetern player as me, remember when we used cards like ivory gargoyle, jakulhaups and more stuff like that. Enjoy this book. I know I did.
