MicroProse's Magic: The Gathering PC game
MicroProse Astral Set Computer Cards #

Been digging up more info on this game. The Astral Set are some cards that are unique to the computer game because they use random effects that would be hard to generate in real life. And there's some new art for token creature "cards". The Ruhk's kick ass, to see them in action play my Nevinyrall's Wrath deck, it's lots of fun, with Disks and Wraths of God destroying most everything.
I'm also trying to track down others who have posted decks specifically for this game. Found one so far: Grim's Homepage.

This is the real deal: Mark's Microprose Magic Museum, with classics like "The Deck." I'll learn a thing or two from disecting and playing these.

Linked from Mark's page above, here is some serious old-school Magic The Gathering thought, Schools of Magic: General Philosophies. Rather humbling actually. I feel like a type II player floundering in a type I environment all over again. I'll just have to build their decks, play against them, and evolve my game.
One thing I've been observing is that it's hard to play serious type I without blue. There's just so much card count and control advantage when you add Time Walk, Time Twister, Ancestral Recall and a set of Counter Spells.
