Spawn of Thraxes

Teaching Complex Cards

New 04 Jun 2014 Asked by benkaestnerfrenchman 23 Comments

If you were teaching a smart adult to play Magic, what's the most complex card you would include? I know you recommend decks of only sorceries and French vanilla creatures, but I'm considering adding a couple of splashy rares too (Spawn of Thraxes or Time Warp, for example). What do you think?


The most important thing is the the person learning have fun and enjoy themselves. If adding a few rares you feel will do that, then add them. Just remember, they don’t have to learn all the rules by the end of their first game.
