Thanks, this will help a lot in getting more people into it aorund here.

I would love to get a lot of people around my NJ area into Magic, but whenever i go about teaching people to play i always get too complicated to start out.

   I always end up trying to explain the stack, and mana pools, and the complicated stuff early.  I was wondering if anyone has a nice clean-cut way to teach new people how to play the game and the basics.

   Do you start with talkign about general stuff, like colors and how to cast spells?

  Any suggestions or anything would be good im always looking to get new people into magic.  Or if you just have taught anyone recently and they seemed to pick it up really quick tell how you went about it.

thanks.
