Physics the gathering

While playing Magic the gathering with friends at lunch I got this card that says "throw this card up into the air at least one meter and whatever it touches is destroyed." Without my knowledge of physics this would be impossible to play. While using this card i had to think about how high to throw it and account for air resistance because it is a piece of cardboard paper. Using common equations we use in class such as vf^2 = vi^2 + 2ad. I use this because i can say vf is 0 and vi is about 1m/s. Also a is 9.81m/s (never really changes) and d is what im finding. So i thank physics class for fueling my addiction to card games 😃.
