Compare these 4 games...

For poker I mean no limit texas hold 'em. For baccarat I mean the game with unlimited free hands and the dragon bonus (10to1, 30to1)

Poker is for people who exploit weaker players (and chess players don't do this?)                and steal their money (how can you "steal" peoples money that they offer into a pot?) .. sounds like someone had a bad night at the table.. 

All I can comment on is the comparison between poker and chess. Both games require delicate skill and a detached zen-like cool in order to play effectively

In the other two game you need to have a detached zen-like cool and skills to play as well

my usual was a basic was a library life/denial deck..  Blue/Green/Black.. great game, the Djinn deck required a good draw on the dual lands to start as djinn came in all 5 colors.

@tigerprowl, I got out of mtg after revised as what you are saying is probably true but if you have wealth of cards and create a bunch of equal decks with fun theme's so no one has to spend all nite on deck creation it can be a great party game, even for those that have in fact kissed a girl...

I was one of the highest ranked brazilian players of mtg, and the game is very good, but WotC ruined it. It can't happen with chess or poker, so, I tried to migrate.

Well, it can happen with poker if you play limit poker or the tournament host(s) makes stupid house rules. With chess it can happen as well like the stupid rules for the millionaire chess tournament coming up...
