Guided Passage MTG

I love Magic the Gathering. With over 25k unique game pieces and rising, it gives each player the ability to express themselves creatively through their deckbuilding and play style.  GPMTG is a place where we can discuss how we approach the game and how we can better understand ourselves when we better understand the cards. 

How do you like to approach the game? Share your experiences with us at guidedpassagemtg@gmail.com
