Magic: The Gathering

[Guest Jasmine13]

I am so addicted to the card game. I've been playing for almost a year and it is so much fun. Anyone else play

I have started playing as a casual hobby, but nothing I'm getting seriously into. I run a red/black deck made of mostly commons.

[Guest Kaze]

I used to play, but have no one to play with and don't have the money to spend on new cards anyway. My favorite decks were my Sliver deck (capable of infinite slivers), and I forget what it was called, but a white deck that won by reaching 50 (I think) life with a certain enchantment in play. My strongest deck was probably my Survival of the Fittest/Recuring Nightmare deck, which was the only one that could keep up with the newer cards my friends were getting when we used to play.

It just got too expensive to keep up with so it got phased out eventually. I still have all my cards, but haven't even gone through them in a long time.

I played years ago, but just grew tired of it..mainly because i worked in several gaming/comic stores and had to listen to the nerds discuss thier 'unbeatable combos" LOL Anyway, i loved it! played blue/black almost exclusively.

I'm one of those nerds...

Maybe not be such a magic nerd, but I can be pretty nerdy...*girlie giggle*

Used to play, but most of the game shops around town seemed to have closed shop. Stopped playing around the time 6th edition came out and I've got boxes and boxes of cards taking up precious closet space. To be honest I'd love to just get rid of them without the humiliation of craigslist time wasters.

[Guest Fwip]

I started playing back sometime around fifth edition, picked it up again between 7th and 8th, dropped before 9th, and just recently got my roommates addicted. We've been playing a format called 'Elder Dragon Highlander' that mandates a 100 card deck, no duplicates (besides basic lands), and a legendary general that you have guaranteed access to play. It's really nice, because the inconsistency of the decks means that the games are more interesting and there is less pressure to build the 'optimal' deck list.

[Guest NatalieRene]

I've been clean since 1997.

[Guest Tempest]

yeah, I play fairly often!

me and my friends have been playing for a while, but mostly elder dragon highlander in the past year, its pretty fun, but got boring, so I'm doing mostly single-player now.

so any of y'all seen the new zendikar? 130/249 spoiled on mtgsalvation.com!! i'm so excited its gonna be epic! except the mythics. those are lame.

[Guest Tempest]

nice, tonya. very esoteric. made me laugh.

[Guest Tammy Maher]

I think that is the mis print of the Pride Parade card. The new one has a swamp cost to it.

[Guest Heather taru]

Iwas addicted to MTG several years ago. I played lots, judged pre-releases and official WotC tournys. Was working towards getting an invite to the world champs. Then I gave it up. Realized how much time

and money I was pouring into this hobby. I still have all of my cards, haven't found a decent outlet to sell them. I recently found my judge shirt I was given during the Mirrodin pre-release.

Had a relapse recently... Found around twenty packs of Unhinged I had stored away. I invited my old buddies over for a booster draft. I'm clean again though

[Guest NatalieM]

I still have all my cards. I run a Sliver deck, a black/green deck, a white gain life deck, and various others over time.

I stopped playing because I ran out of free time due to college and having a job.

[Guest Leigh]

i started when i was about 14. i'll play occasionally. i guess it's kind of a family thing with me, i'll play with cousins and uncles on holidays.

i wouldn't call myself addicted by any stretch though.

[Guest anna123]

I found one that's not related to anything tg, but rather to current events

[Guest Melanieshaman]

[Guest NatashaJade]

My wife and I have recently made this our new obsession. I only got into it because of my wife and I told her that if she wanted to start, she would have to accept the consequence that I would probably become massively addicted. But we have new friends who come over once a week and play with us, so that's fun

luv

[Guest Sotha]

One of my friends who is totally addicted (he is even president of his school's MTG club!) brought me into the game. It's fun. I mean, I barely know anything at all about it or anything other than just basic basic basics, but whatever. So far, I seem to prefer the blue and white general playstyles the most. I don't plan on becoming addicted of anything myself, or even really spending much any money on it, but it's fun.

[Guest RachaelAnn]

I played for a little while, but not long enough to get really good at it. But since I moved from that town, I don't really know where to go to find a game. If I could find a game for amateurs I would love to start playing again.

[Guest Adalia]

I started playing Magic: The Gathering about a year ago I have a fearsome red dragon deck that can get high cost creatures out surprisingly quick that with lightning bolts and shocks can kill a swarm deck I also have a brutal blue/black artifact deck than get out creatures very quick and destroys other decks

[Guest RachaelAnn]

I tried most every color, but finally found my niche in white. I built an awesome white/artifact deck that's set up with cards that make my artifacts invincible. And with that I added a (Platinum?) Angel so that I can't lose. It's the one that says you can't lose and your opponent can't win. I can't find my cards at the moment, so I can't remember exactly what it's called.

[Guest Aviannè_Annabella]

I played constantly 10-12th grade, even hosted a tournament at my school. I've got over 800cards... which isn't lot compared to some ppl i know...

[Guest AshCrimson]

I used to play this when I was young. Funny coz ive been thinking about the game just now. I want to play but no one to play with argh.

Ive always just use BW.

Anyone play in LA area in CA?

[Guest TaraD]

oh wow!!!! I haven't played since 7th but started around tempest. those were some of the best cards. I use to run 2 or 3 decks. A stumppy, A stasis Kismit, and a land destruction deck.

Yeah I started with 7th edition and stopped at Mirrodin, I still play just not a fan of a lot of the newer sets. I prefer to trade them out for older stuff like Unlimited through Judgement and of course the Onslaught Block was one of the best. My main deck is a nasty Black/White Cleric Bleeder with mass defense combos. (Ex. once made a 1/1 foothill guide take 30dmg and survive.)
