Get the Magic the Gathering mug.Crack captured in paper form. Actually, the original collectible trading card game, originally released in 1993, still going strong today. Made by Richard Garfield, and published by Wizards of the Coast. Two or more players duel each other using various creatures, spells, and artifacts. The object is to bring each other players life total down to 0 in order to win. This can be accomplished in many ways. It's up to you to decide how to do it. Seeing how over 40 expansion sets have been released over the years, there are almost endless possibilities.
Often ridiculed/stereotyped by chads, along with D&D, Star Wars, and World of Warcraft as the epitome of geekdom. On the contrary, it is known to be played by anyone, and most gamers I've met don't fall into the stereotypes, and in fact, do have a life, have other interests, get laid, etc. Only people with no life like to make fun of people who play games like these. Irony at it's finest.

MTG Player 1: I tap all my lands, and fireball you for 10 damage, you lose!
MTG Player 2: Aww, shit!
Random dipshit: What are you two fags doing?
MTG Player 1: Just got done playing a game of Magic, now we're gonna go hit up a kegger.
Random dipshit: Whaa!? I didn't know you nerds did anything else with your lives but play Magic the gathering
MTG Player 1: Yeah, crazy shit, huh? It's gonna be killer! beer and bitches everywhere! And the best part is everyone going is totally chill.
Random dipshit: No way! can I come?
MTG Player 1: Sorry, chads aren't allowed at this party.

Get the Magic the Gathering mug.The salvation for social rejects, Magic is an addictive collectable card game relying only on the player's math and strategy. Magic will consume your life faster than you can say "Mom, I need more money."
I never thought I would ever spend $3.69 for 50 cents worth of paper and ink, but then I started playing Magic the Gathering.

Get the Magic the Gathering mug.Overrated card game where the player with the most money wins seeing as good cards can cost up to 50 dollars each. It is quite imbalanced as tournament winners all have the same deck showing the best strategy for the particular set. All you can do is spend hundreds of dollars on a deck so your cards can become useless when a new set comes out.
Nerd 1: Want to play Magic The Gathering?
Nerd 2: Okay.
*Nerd 1 plays creature for 1 mana*(from old set)
*Nerd 2 plays creature for the same cost with the same stats except his has flying and can destroy one monster per turn*(from new set)
*Nerd 2 wins eventually*
Nerd 2: Don't feel bad my deck cost 1200 dollars.
Nerd 2: Okay.
*Nerd 1 plays creature for 1 mana*(from old set)

Get the Magic the Gathering mug.or more affectionatly known as "Tragic the saddening"
This is a card game where the players spend vast sums of money collecting a deck of "magic" cards. THey then proceed to withdraw from people and society turning into trolls who never see the light of day. They can often be seen playing magic the gathering together and will NEVER socialise with you again.
