I am new to TCGs and would like to know whether The Spoils or Magic:The Gathering is better. I have friends who play both.

Never played (or heard of) The Spoils, but I have played M:tG for many years and I think it is really fun.

Edit: In having just wiki'd The Spoils, I would say Magic, Spoils looks more complicated than I would want to bother with for a CCG.

Spoils is by far more entertaining, but Magic. It's bigger. And I like breaking reality.

Magic: the Gathering was the first CCG, so, if you want a CCG with a lot of cards, history, and stability, go with Magic.

Magic id fun and fairly simple if you stay with the basics:smallsmile:

MTG, like the others have already said, it's bigger, more stable and the basics are pretty easy to learn.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!


Fixed it for you. :smalltongue:

Also, Magic: The Gathering is far better. It has awesome and complex game mechanics and many years of experience.

It's as much the first CCG as WoW is the first MMORPG. The first, IIRC was published in 1904.

It would be more accurate to say that it's as much the first collectable card game as Doom was the first FPS.

Nobody believes that WoW is actually the original MMORPG, some newer MMORPGs owe more to WoW than to any other MMORPG, but plenty of people remember Ultima Online or at least Everquest.

Okay, that's the last time I will write MMORPG that many times in one post.

Okay, Magic was the first successful TCG. BTW, can you back that up, Azuroth?


Yea, Magic has already gone though the whole "Broken" card cycle (mostly) so it tends to be more fair in that respect.
