CCG Collection

We’d wait a while too see how useless they really are. Every so often something will come along in a gaming system that’ll revive interest in certain cards that once seemed worthless.
In the meantime, if you’ve got heaping gobs of land cards from Magic, you probably won’t want to stuff them into plastic sleeves. Many of the supply companies that make the sleeves have card-sized boxes available.
If you’re sure you don’t want the cards, you can try to sell them

Sure. All it takes is someone to come back and pick up the game and start supporting it again with new physical releases.
The third CCG released, Jyhad, is an example. Jyhad was published by Wizards of the Coast, renamed Vampire, and passed on to White Wolf, which stopped adding expansions in 1997. Vampire was then dead for most intents and purposes. Until CCGs got hot again, and it rose from its coffin in a new release in 2000.

These are phrases used to refer to whether CCG systems are being supported at present by their manufacturers (and, to a lesser extent, by their fans).
A “dead game” is very hard to get into, because no one’s out there organizing tournament support or answering questions about rules. And because new releases are so important to the evolving “metagame,” when they stop coming out, players stop playing.
The first CCG to be released, Magic, is very much alive. Its manufacturer is still cranking out releases, supporting tournaments, and answering questions.
The second CCG to be released, Spellfire, is dead. The last release came out in 1997, when Wizards of the Coast bought its original publisher, TSR, and stopped making additions to the game. There are cells of players keeping it “alive” here and there on websites and at conventions
