|
| General Magic Disc. & Strategy | This is the place where you can talk about Magic and strategy in general. You know... that stuff that doesn't really deal with Type 1, or Type 2, or whatever. Just stuff like which cards should be in every deck, and any other stuff you can think of too. |
|
| Rules Questions | Got a question? Don't know if that combo you thought of actually works or not? There's always some guru out there that's willing to hand out advice, including our own eM Magic Gurus who patrol this forum! |
|
| Deck Help | Do you have a deck that you think could be better... but you just don't know HOW to make it better? Or maybe you've got an idea for a deck, but need advice on some cards that might be good for it. Either way, this is where you can ask your questions. |
|
| General Discussion (Off-Topic) | This is where you can talk about the stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. There is no particular topic... just whatever you want to talk about. |
|
| Strategy - Type 1 | This is for all you old-school Magic players out there, where you are free to use almost any card, and the combo possibilities are almost endless. |
|
| Strategy - Type 2 | Stay up-to-date with strategies involving the ever-changing most recent sets! Here you can learn to use the newest cards and how to abuse them! |
|
| Strategy - Extended | With each new set that releases, Extended decks have to be re-evaluated to determine if there are new threats that need to be dealt with. |
|
| Strategy - Limited | Limited formats include Booster drafts & Sealed Deck tournaments, and are possibly the most strategic formats in Magic. The card to pick in a draft can be affected by the any number of variables, many of which may not be obvious. |
|
| Casual Play | Are there still people out there who play Magic FOR FUN?!? We hope so. And this is where you can all get together and talk about playing with Time Walk and B.F.M. in the same deck. |
|
| Trading Forum | Chances are, you don't have every card you could possibly want. Chances are, someone else has at least some of the cards that you're missing. So, chances are, this is the forum for you. Just let everyone know what cards you want and what you're willing to trade/pay for them. It's that easy! |
|
| MTGO | This forum is to discuss Magic The Gathering Online, a new obsession for many a Magic player! |
|
| Card Ideas | Have you ever thought of an idea for a really great Magic card? Well... here's where you can tell everybody about it. Or, you can just check out other people's ideas and comment about them. |
|
| Political Discussions (Off-Topic) | For some reason, many of Essential Magic's most prominent members are very politically opinionated. So, we've created a forum just to allow them to rant about the powers that be, the state of world affairs, and everything else that's screwed up in the world. |
|
| Collecting | Love to collect cards, place them in protective plastic and count their $ worth? Discuss collecting here! |
|
| Test Forum | This forum is where all of your test messages should go! That includes testing new signatures, playing around with e-Tags, and everything else that people are sick and tired of seeing in the General Discussion Forum. |
|
| Magic Storyline | There's more to Magic than just a bunch of cards that we spend all our money on. There's also books for us to spend all our money on! :) And this is where you can come to talk about the storyline... and what you think will happen next. |
