lol at the morons who think competitive magic players play it because of the fantasy theme/collectability and consider them nerds

MAGIC vs. POKER

(competitive) Magic is better because...

It's a much more intellectually complex game
It has more metagame considerations
It's possible to gain a bigger edge over a feild (Jon Finkel > Phil Ivey)
It's always changing when new sets come out
You can make your own deck
It's free to play
It's more fun
It develops a lot of skills (and vocabulary.)


Poker is better because...

You can actually make a lot of money
People won't see your collection of elves and fairies and think you are a weirdo
You don't have to invest a lot of money to get started and keep up with it
You don't have to invest as much time
You are allowed to have sex with girls
You can make a living off it
More fish (once substantial winnings come into play at least)
You win peoples' money
The rake is lower



Conclusion: Poker wins because of money. But playing Magic is just about the best thing a kid can do growing up. Find me someone who played video games a lot and someone who played Magic and I'll bet on the Magic kid in nearly any sort of aptitude or intelligence test.

Maybe the new games these days, but failed on that for 90s-2000s. At worst average comes out to the same

This. I heard Finkel has been making big bucks in sportsbetting lately. Maybe he's soon richer than Ivey.

Well finkel stopped being good like 5 years ago.

The two new dominating players are Luis scott vargas (lives in my city) and gabriel Nassif, who apparently plays poker.

Luis Scott Vargas.

Kenji did well in 06 and has scrubbed out of major events recently, along with shuei, and saito.

And Nassif hasnt really been in contention for POTY before this year (hes won PT Kyoto and GP Chicago).
