Teaching the Gnome how to play Magic: The Gathering

Tonight I decided it was time to see whether the gnome liked card games. He's still quiet, but he seemed to pick up the rules fast enough.

A challenger appears!

---

He looks like a bit of a card shark.

---

The game started off well for me. I gain life, and the gnome loses life. Win-win for me, right?

---

Well, maybe it isn't going so well. The gnome just needed time for his elves to start synergizing.

---

And from here on, it was a total rout. I was overrun by elves. He could regenerate anything I could kill, and his ability to gain life from every attacking elf he controlled outpaced my ability to whittle him down.
