New fantasy oasis: The Magic shop Moon-Shadow is being built in Aschfeld!

Eußenheim-Aschfeld, Deutschland - Josef Häusler (32) and Timo Jung (34) are convinced fans of the popular collective card game "Magic: The Gathering". The two men plan to open their own shop with the name "Moon-Shadow" in July 2024 in Eußenheim-Sasfeld, which is intended to serve both as a sales point for maps and as a meeting point for exchange and tournaments. Jung is a country doctor in Gösenheim, while Häusler is owner of the Häusler carpenter.

The two hobby players have met about their women who have been friends since childhood. Her joint passion for collecting cards started in primary school with "Pokémon" cards. A few years ago, Häusler discovered old Magic cards, which meant that he spoke young to try the game. What originally started as a game in pairs quickly developed into regular group activity with 15 participants. This group, which humorously calls itself "tavern to the planing house", meets every week in Häusler's carpentry.

Need recognized for Magic fans

The decision to open their own shop fell in 2024 after Häusler and Jung had recognized the need in the region. So far, there are no opportunities for Magic players in the area of Karlstadt to exchange ideas or take part in tournaments. The name "Moon-Shadow" was chosen to leave a mystical and imaginative impression. The shop will not only offer "Magic: The Gathering" cards, but also products from "Pokémon" and board games such as "Dungeons & Dragons".

Thanks to their professional independence, both are more flexible and can fully devote themselves to their project. They are supported by their partners and work intensively on being recognized as an official partner of "Wizard of the Coast", the parent company of Hasbro. You need a shop for this. The project requires a lot of organization, from orders to contact with wholesale dealers.

online presence and community education

Your online shop "moon-shadow.de" is already active and you stream on "Whatnot" every Sunday. With the opening of the shop, Häusler and Jung hope to create a permanent meeting point for Magic and Fantasy fans. "Magic: The Gathering" is a strategic collection card game in which players slip into the roles of magicians and try to reduce their opponents' life points to zero or to achieve alternative victory conditions. The game combines tactical thinking, deck construction and exploring your own universe.

In connection with the increasing popularity of collective cards, it is remarkable that a variety of Magic cards are offered on Ebay, whose prices vary between $ 19.99 and $ 350.00. These cards come with different shipping costs, which rang from $ 4.43 to $ 65.20, and many articles offer a "best offer" option, such as "https://www.ebay.com/b/magic-the-gathering-card-games-hasbro-sets/183459/bn_82728966"> eBay reported. There are also facilities with a remaining time for some articles, which further revives the collection and trade of Magic cards.
