This is really helpful, thank you.
Are the game instructions there as well that is in text format?
Yeah, some cards might not be able to be recreated, but It is worth a shot
perhaps.

Hi,
I don't post much but I follow most of the threads and although I've
never published any maps, I have worked on many ideas for fun here.
Right now I am working on a multiplayer idea centred on Mages duelling
on arenas, and of course Magic the Gathering was a huge inspiration.
I have played Magic for many years before going blind, and the rules,
specially the ones from the time you mentioned, are extremely familiar
to me. In fact, the main battle system is approximately buildable on TB,
but this opens a series of interesting questions as we think about some
cards. I'll quote some examples as I remember the first ones:
- Time Travel. Play another round. The play another round effect can be
longly cummulated with other cards.
- Counterspell. Many effects, specially on blue magic, use this effect,
which involves acting outside your turn.
- Discard. Specially on black magic, emptying the opponent's hand is a
very common strategy.
These are just the first I've figured out. I think it is possible to
create a very nice map pack that emulates to some extent the feeling of
MtG duels, even if some cards become unapplyable.
About the card texts, look for "Magic the Gathering 5th edition full
spoiler" on Google, they use the "full card spoiler" to refer to the
text of all cards in any given edition.
If you need any reference on game mechanics, and you don't mind my bad
english, feel free to ask here.

Do you think it's possible? I haven’t played in years, but I seem to recall
that it was pretty basic. Artifacts, monsters,spells and the mana cards of
various colors.

That's an interesting idea. I'm pretty familiar with the game.

magic the gathering card game I played it a few times in the nineties,
and it might be neat tomake an attempt.
I am wondering if anyone is familiar with it, have any opinions about
it, and know where I cold get a copy of instructions and descriptions
of that first generation of cards. So far what I have found is PDF
with images, not text. Another option may be to find some kind of
windows 7 compatible program that can read text in those images.
Thanks for any help, thoughts.
