Magic the Gathering



This tabletop cardgame is one of the most popular neckbeard past times right next to Dungeons and Dragons and Warhammer 40k. Its been around for a long time, and yet nerds still play it to this day. Magic the Gathering players are the quintessential neckbeards. Custom card carrying tins, in-depth strategy and lexicons of lore that would made J.R.R. Tolkien blush. Though not as bad as people who play Yugi-oh! or god forbid Pokemon, a typical magic the gathering event will look like an Anime convention, but smell worse, because there are no girls. Not even booth girls. The only feminine presence at these functions is waiting out front in the mini van with a People and an iced soy latte.

Note: (These neckbeards are european, so do not let their seemingly normal appearance fool you.)

As with the majority of activities that necessitate migration outside of moms basement, this event
was held in what looks to be a cafeteria of some kind. Not surprising to the trained observer.
As with any game, there will be certain cards that are deemed "over powered" or "super rare dude".
This is a crock of neckbeard bullshit, and anyone heavily invested in these cards should get out before another recession happens.
Remember in elementary school when you heard of some kid trading his playstation 1 for a charizard card? Guess who doesnt give a fuck
and then guess who still has a playstation. Boom baby.
