Magic Leagues

I recently started a Magic Online league. Anyone who has played the card game Magic the Gathering would pick up quickly the online version of the game. It is a much better version of the real card game from a rules and huristics stand point -- since it regulates and adheres to the rules much more adamantly than most real card games.

The problem with the online version, however, is the lack of the human interaction. Since the computer regulates most of the action, the chit-chat, taunting, and goofing around are mitigated or removed entirely.

Still, the online version allows for pick-up games when ever you feel like it. Well... most of the time, at least.
