We’ll first deal with administrative details and look over the syllabus to see if the class is suitable for the students. There will be an overview of the various topics we’ve decided to consider in the course and the justification for their importance. The rest of the class will be focused on teaching the rules of Magic and getting comfortable with the game so that we can discuss the game at a higher level in future lectures. Reading – Naturally, we can’t assign reading before the first class session, but these will help to review the game concepts in the first session:
