One "urban legend" (recent events show that it really happened) that I'm familiar with revolves around a card game called Magic. The game premise is 2 wizards wacking away at each other with their spelldecks. (the deck of cards that each player build, kinda like putting 40 aces in a poker deck that only you draw from)

Anyhow, supposedly, at a tournament, a player, who was losing, took one of his cards (valued at around $50) and tore it into pieces. He then threw the pieces at his opponent, hereby winning the game. (I don't want to bog you guys down with the rules)

Of course, just about every player that you run into claims to have been at that tourney, or knows someone who was there. Subsequently, the company then put out a card that, when you play it, you have to tear it up and throw it at your oponent. The quote on the card read, "..and you thought that was just an urban legend."

Marketting ploy or honest reporting?
