Title in case link is broken:  Magic: Intricate card game flourishes in video game era

"It's an expensive hobby," said Zaac Moberg, a 19-year-old Carl Sandburg College student. He was at Alternate Realities on Saturday morning for a Two-Headed Giant Magic tournament, or two-on-two game play. "When you first start playing, you invest about $200 to $300."

A rare card, like the Black Lotus, is worth anywhere from $900 to $1,200, Moberg said.

A rare card, like the Death Lace is worth anywhere between $.01 and $.10.

Purelace and Lifelace were the worst. Deathlace combos with Reap, and the other two could pull off the awesome Lace/Elemental Blast combo!!!1

The headline of the article states "Intricate new card game attracts Knox county players"

Just how new do they think this game is? It's been around long enough for the players who started in the 90's to have kids old enough to be playing now...
