Metal Gear Solid

It's been a time for revivals here lately, with old features being dusted off and added to much as... well, this entire blog has been. In this case, we're bringing back another old favourite: theme decks.

Magic storylines... pretty nightmarish, right? Circuitous, overly-complicated, too many characters with impenetrable motives and unclear objectives: we've all been burned by trying to peek beneath the surface of the game. Well if you think that's bad, clearly you've never played the seminal Metal Gear Solid, which has enough twists and turns that you need a cause-and-effect diagram on the go and a military studies degree just to keep up. Regardless, it's a superb game, so obviously that means it will translate to superb Magic games, too. Sneak past blockers, choke out your opponent and even destroy some gearhulks metal gears along the way.
