Given that I abandoned Magic: The Gathering some time ago, one won't find much in the way of up-to-date information at this site. What I do have for you are some "bogus" cards from the days when I was still interested in the game. Originally residing at Bing's Alternate Magic Cards Homepage, they've now wandered over to my own website. Black Magic comes from the swamps and bogs; it thrives on death and decay. Many wizards shun black magic's self-destructive nature even as they long for its ruthlessness. Black's traditional foils are green and white. Blue Magic flows from the islands and thrives on mental energy. Other wizards fear the blue magicians' ability with artiface and illusion, as well as their mastery of the elemental forces of air and water. Blue's traditional foils are red and green. Green Magic gets its life from the lush fecundity of the forest. Like nature itself, green magic can bring forth both soothing serenity and thunderous destruction. Green's traditional foils are blue and black. Red Magic feeds on the vast energy boiling deep in the heart of the mountains. Masters of earth and fire, red magicians specialize in the violence of chaos and combat. Red's traditional foils are blue and white. White Magic draws its vitality from the untouched, open plains. Though white magicians focus on spells of healing and protection, they also devote plenty of time to the chivalrous arts of war. White's traditional foils are black and red. Gold Magic involves combining the essense of two or more different colors of magic, even warring colors such as black/white. This often involves the summoning of legendary heroes or creatures that embody various aspects of the different magics. Artifacts are devices created by powerful mages in their pursuit of greater and greater power. Unlike spells, with their inherent bonds of color, artifacts can generally be used by any mage, making them especially dangerous and sought-after. Lands are the mage's primal link to raw magical might. Without these external power sources, even the mightiest of mages would prove ineffective at casting the most minor of spells. |
