    Oh yeah, I've heard of that too. Is it anything like Yugioh or no

    They are both trading card games, so they share some similarities that are common in that genre (especially since MTG is pretty much the original trading card game from which the others spawned). That being said in card design, concept, game mechanics and several other aspects they are pretty fundamentally different I would say.

    Oh wow, I didnt know it was the original trading card game. How complicated are the rules?

    Depends. Having enough understanding to be able to play with simpler cards at all is relatively straightforward I think. Things get more complicated once you introduce greater card complexity or unusual things to do, which is generally the level most players are at. Then there are niche case and in-depth rules of the game which help determine exactly what happens when particular card effects or events collide, and those are far far more difficult but also not necessary to know in the vast majority of games.

    Magic is considered one of the most complex games in the world by some, but this is less because the rules are especially complicated but rather a combination of
    A) The giant existing card pool with a multitude of effects

    B) Magic has a keyword system and unique terminology which, while it really helps simplify card text, also means that for a new player you may not be able to tell at a glance what a card does. For instance a card with the keyword "flying" can only block or be blocked by creatures with flying. The word flying on a card has that rules meaning but you need cards that are very old to ever see that explained.

    C) The rules, without being too complicated themselves (at least on a non-in-depth level) generate complex interactions and decisions. MTG is one of the only card games on the market in which you're not only able to but indeed expected to take actions during your opponent's turn for example.
