Different Careers That Are Available To People Who Enjoy Magic: The Gathering.

September 7th, 2010

Magic: The Gathering is a massively popular trading card game, or TCG, which has been available for over 12 years now. It has grown in popularity over the past few years, and contests are held all over the country in different locations. I wish to take a look at the various Careers which exist which will attract people who have an interest in Magic: The Gathering, as it is a good thing when people are able to get a New career which is directly related to something that they like doing, in this case playing Magic. This will help anyone searching for New careers which are directly related to the Magic: The Gathering card game, so they can make sure they get a great job that they can flourish in.

Now there are many different Careers you can go into which are related to this specific card game. One of the more obvious jobs to me would be a stockist, selling the cards in bulk packs, or splitting them up and selling individual cards. Now for anyone who knows the game pretty well, you may generate good money doing this, as many cards are rather valuable. For mainstream games and recent expansions typically cards will cost in the region of around 1 or 2 pounds, but some can go as high as 20. In fact, although you are chanced to never, ever see one of these cards, there are some rather old cards from the initial expansion, which are very expensive – one of the most expensive cards known as ‘Black Lotus’ can sell for upwards of £600 on ebay. That’s a huge amount of money for a flimsy bit of card! While you are never really going to see figures like that, there is still great money to be made if you are aware of which cards are popular, which are rare, and things like that. So in general a good knowledge of the game and its mechanics will help you out here.

Another New career which the more creative among you will be able to look into is to be an artist for Magic: The Gathering. Now there is a great deal of fierce competition here as there so often is when it comes to art, so you will have to be incredibly good. Expansions are released every two years, and each release will include over 500 cards, each of which will posses their own individual artwork. A lot of artists are commissioned to paint or draw just for magic, so if you are fortunate enough to get into this line of work you will benefit from a pretty regular income.

There are so many different New careers here – more than we can properly list in one go. Other examples include making a career out of winning, by taking part in contests which are held around the world. You might even want to be an author, and write books which relate to the universe that the card game is based in. There are many interesting Careers you can get into if you really put your mind to it, and you have the focus and commitment to succeed.
