I haven’t played Magic the Gathering in about 8 years and i cant even remember the rules. Is there a website or something with rules? Also, what cards should i try to get, other than super-expensive ones like Black Lotus and such? Any particular structure deck or theme that’s dominating right now?
Hey ravnica, I only have played a little over the last years after a longer break than yours. There’s simple decks out there pre-made now that have the basic rules, it’s not much different than what you remember.
