This weekend, The Nerd and I drove south to Houston to visit some friends. About a year ago, these friends had introduced us to a wonderful (and addicting!!) trading card game called Magic: The Gathering.
We’ll talk about the specifics of the games later in the week during Nerdy Things Thursday. For now, let’s just say that it’s FUN!
Oh, and the cards are pretty. That’s all that really matters.
A new set of cards was released this weekend, and we all got together for a booster draft!
We purchased a booster box to split between us — that’s 36 booster packs, each containing 15 cards.
That’s a lot of cards.
There’s nothing better than opening a fresh pack of Magic cards:
The Nerd likes to tease me by not letting me see the cards he got…
He’s a mean, mean man.
And then, he let me see the rare from the pack:
Admonition Angel! Woohoo!
April is a much better model.
She likes pretty cards, too.
She’s my compadre in many of our Nerdy activities.
Once all the cards were open, the draft ensued! Eric won.
Then everybody else.
I was last.
I suck.
Eric is the thinker of the group.
April always has a cool combo up her sleeve.
And then there’s me. Blinded by pretty cards.
(And wearing my Pioneer Woman shirt!)
I would be blinded by the pretty cards too! The ones I've seen are so SHINY!
