So those are just kind of like the two best, most rare, like, dopest cards. I have other versions of that card, but just the first edition - especially, since Alpha is the first set from Magic: The Gathering. Another card I would like to get my hands on is an Alpha Black Lotus. One card I really want to get my hands on at some point is the first edition Charizard. So is there a particular card that you currently don’t have right now that you are in the process of procuring or would like to have? But if somebody were to come and ask about it, I would definitely go get it out of the safe. We had it on display, but we put it away because I went and saw the price change in some recent jumps. It’s a good card, and it has a pretty hefty price tag on it now so it’s cool.ĭo you think we’ll be able to see it on display at the shop or is this hidden away? But, Magic: The Gathering-wise, it would be this great Timetwister card. I keep it right next to my bed and it’s a card that represents a place I would really like to go if I were to live in the wilderness. I had an artist named Johnny, he recreated the card for me and put me and my son in it. My favorite Magic card that I just love for the art and near and dear to me is called Misty Rain Forest. So I’d say yeah, from that standpoint, like film study and deck building are pretty similar.ĭo you have a single MTG card and non- MTG card that is your most prized possession? When you’re deck building, you’re preparing for certain opponents based on what the meta is like, if you’re in a competitive atmosphere. But the actual sharpening of your skills is similar. I’d say if you’re preparing yourself to play football, it’s more physical. Strategy wise, do you see any similarities between playing in the NFL and the process of deckbuilding? Commander’s a certain format and they have competitive formats for that.

I don’t have a ranking within the pro tour or anything like that. I build competitive decks, but I haven’t been playing competitive Magic. If I’m going to go back to that I need to be prepared for it. Mind you, it was a really bad matchup for my deck, but I had a couple of displays, and I was just so sloppy, and the other guy was dialed in. I went to the Vegas GP almost four years ago now, and I was just doing it for fun. I think it’s a mix…the hyper-competitive aspect of it is not fun if you’re not prepared for it. Is it safe to say that you do play competitively? You said that you were driven to the competitive side of it. It’s a cool response because for a lot of people they don’t get to see all these cards a lot. I would show up to tournaments playing these completely tiered, built-out, max-rarity decks, and people are shocked by the decks. It just became something I started doing. I started building out a fully foiled Commander deck, which is the format I usually play that has 100 cards and one copy of each card per deck, except for lands. Can you talk a little more about how you’ve gained this title? So word on the street is that people call you “The Foil King”. There are so many great artists in the Magic community, so we get a little spoiled with some of these cards. Plus, the arts of the cards are actually pretty incredible. I’m a really competitive guy, so it was just another way for me to be competitive. It was like game theory, and I was really challenged. I got super addicted to Magic because of how competitive and interactive the actual game is. What is it about MTG that drives you to the game? But I actually ended up seeing some people playing Magic within the first couple months that I was there, and I was bummed I gave my collection away. When I went to college, I gave away my collection and I just didn’t think anybody would be playing when I was going to UCLA. But it was rare and I really liked it but sadly, I don’t have it anymore though. So I bought 11 cards with $5 that my mom gave me, and then the rest is history.ĭo you remember the first MTG card you ever got? Long story short, I learned about it there that day watching two guys play, and then I just fell in love with the game. I walked into a trading card shop called Hidden Fortress in Simi Valley in my hometown and I was looking for Yu-Gi-Oh! and they said they didn’t sell them, but they had Magic cards. I found Magic when I was around 11 years old. I got into Pokémon super early on just like most kids. HYPEBEAST: Can you give us a brief introduction of yourself and explain your connection to MTG? How did you start collecting?Ĭassius Marsh: My trading card experience started pretty early.
