Please feel free to distribute this information as long as I am credited with it. - Marvick FORWARD Me and my mates would play magic over the telephone since we live some distance from each other. On the net it would be possible to do this at a chat group playing by mail is much more slower. But I learned that Both players must be honest with there dealings after all it's no achivemeant to win by cheating. SETTING UP You magic game will at the shortest be several turns. This will mean serveral exchange of e-mail so it is a good idea to put aside a deck to play unless you have a computer program ( Hey how about getting someone to write one? it would be a simple! record the cards then suffle and deal them the hard part is the save feature). The deck would have to placed aside for the game. STARTING Somehow you would decide who will go first (Draw or Play). Best if Player 1 goes first in round1 and player2 go first in the next. Third round decided by some other means. E-mail will be sent with the following information. Turn Number: Player Name: Life: 13 Library sixe: Lots Graveyard: 12 Cards Number of cards in hand: Handsize Number of lands: 3 mountains 2 forest Number of tapped lands: 2 Forest Artifacts: Hive tapped Zuran Ord Creatures: Daring appretice 1/1 : Dragon whelp 3/3 Sickness Enchantments: None PLAYING player start there moves. Generally player will attack before casting spells as land can be used in the attack Fast effects played at the end of oppounites turn will added also. Player 2 Fast effect Blessed Wine: Life +1 Draw 2 cards Attack Bears 2/2 tap Faires 1/1 tap Player 1 Block bears with Dragon Whelp. Faries unblocked. Infate Dragon Whelp +1/+1 Player2 Respond with giant growth Attack End Cast Netting tooth Djinn End Each message will be sent with the listing of player statues. Player 1 may wish to cast furthur fast effects. But Player 2 continues as it will result in more unnessary E-mailing If player 1 wishes to respond then player 2 will back up. Pl1 Fast Effects, Untap, Draw, Play land, Attack Pl2 Assign Blockers + fast effects Pl1 Fast effects End attack + Scorcery, Play land End That way only Thress E-mail per Turn. In the first turn player should forget second step. Fast effect force player to back up. And that is that.
