If you’re still in to Magic: The Gathering, you’re one dedicated player. But hey, we aren’t here to judge. In fact, we want to support your “mana tapping” needs by introducing you to the ultimate glass-ware inspired by the ever so famous card game, Magic.

Craftster.org forum user Poe poe made these etched glasses out of old glade candle glasses. For a moment, I had thought she blew the glass herself, which would’ve been way cooler. Regardless, the etching of Magic was done really well. Be sure to check out the hand-painted elemental patterns, after the jump.

Every single object in our universe is composed of an infrastructure of elements, yet many children are not retaining the information which tells us the building blocks of the universe. Elementeo is a card game created by a 14-year old whiz kid, hell bent on teaching chemistry in an effective and fun fashion.

Much like games such as Magic: The Gathering, Elementeo is based around a card set, 121 cards in total, in which players must “reduce the opponents electrons to zero through strategic use of each card’s chemical properties.” The elements are given fantasy-driven names such as “Oxygen Life-Giver”, to develop a system of lore around the game. — Andrew Dobrow

Hours and hours of my pre-teen years were spent huddled in circles, dishing on mana cards from my black deck, owning all of those damn counter-spell blue decks people were using for awhile. Gradually, my relationship with Magic: The Gathering grew further and further apart.

Wizards Of The Coast has licensed Magic to be made into a video game for PCs, X-Box Live (both from Stainless Games) and Mac (from Mind Control Software). We’ve played the original Magic card game and the original computer game as well. We can only hope the new game is better than the original. — Andrew Dobrow
