Magic the Gathering

[TigerStripedDog]

There may already be some folks on here who have a thread about this, but I didn't see it with a once-over.

Anyone here play? If so, for how long?
Anyone here who used to play?
What do you think about MtG?
What formats do you play, if any?

I have been playing steadily for 4 years now. It was this interest that led me to be a Game Store Owner (I now own http://www.facebook.com/tggchampaign) with my friend and former PADND poster Marcus. I still enjoy it a lot, and anymore I mostly cube and play EDH.

Just curious.

Yes, I have played Magic in the past. I used to work at a level 14 group home for SED boys. It was there that I learned to play and was introduced to the game. MTG was a way to help the young men to pass the time, learn team work, and be rewarded for good behavior. I have literally thousands of MTG cards (gifted from a Hobby store owner and purchased) and several decks that I gave to my son when I ceased being a mental health worker. I Never play it anymore. I can take it or leave it.

All of that belongs to my son now. Not for sale, sorry man. To be honest, I can't even remember all that I had. I haven't looked at the cases for 6+ years now. I can tell you I had built some decks spending to much cash as not to embarrass myself when playing those guys bitd. lol You get tired of getting mobbed by teenagers.

TSD, this is one gaming phenomenon that passed me by. I only played once, chose to be red and to tell you the truth I didn't really get it and didn't go back. Perhaps if there was a screen with fantastic, evocative art related to the game on the table I would try harder with it.
