Hi,

I have been playing D&D since the 80's, my oldest son introduced me (and got me addicted) to Magic. I thought I would do a search for free fantasy card games online and came across Elements. So far it seems a little confusing but then so did D&D and Magic when I started playing.  ;D

Thanks for the reply Treebeard,

I have already played the AI0 and was very confused so I am going through the wiki to learn a bit more. This forum and the wiki have already been a great help.

As someone else who who started playing D&D before the "A" was added and had trouble kicking the MtG habit, welcome! :D

The game and this community have a lot to offer.  If you have questions, ask away.

I only struggled with a couple concepts when I joined.  The first was creatures not blocking, seemed kinda strange.  I guess it does speed games up though.

2nd was immortals not being targeted by spells that affected 'all'.  Was a bit backwards to my way of thinking.

Oh, and still don't understand why Sundials stop immortals.

So, I guess 3 things :)

I also cut my teeth on D&D (well, AD&D) and moved on to Magic (just online, not the physical cards), then here.
