As many people know its been around for a very long time =]. One of the best Card Games that I ever played at that. I am seeing if anyone else plays it or at least likes it. I can give you my newest deck specs if you want to check it out, but its only a prototype i haven't even battled with it yet.
 
Fun game, I still play every now and again, and am trying to get back into Type 2 play. Something I enjoy doing, but wish it didn't cost so much money to keep up with...
 
I played it before they got lame with all these new sets. I stopped liking it after they gave into the japanese trend with kamigawa. I still loved Mirridon though and have a few decks that I hardly use.
 
I always liked Jyhad better (it was later changed to something else), but none of my friends wanted to play it. They said it was too complicated (which I liked). So now it sits in a box in the garage along with a lot of my other card/role-playing/etc games.
 
Time Spiral is my favorite set, I love how it brings back things from history like Jaya Ballard, my favorite Human.
 
My favorite sets were the Invasion block, but that's because it's when I started playing. The sets now are really hit or miss. Either they're really good, or really bad, There is no real in between anymore that I've seen.
 
They just added a new card type, planewalkers. I want to check them out and see if they are actually worth playing with.

And on a lighter note I tap 1,000,000 to play my [link=http://ww2.wizards.com/Gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=Gleemax]Gleemax[/link]
 
don't knock it... I had a deck that generated enough mana to play that straight up and then some. My one deck goes out of the way to not be infintie mana, but it does generate mana that approaches, but never becomes infinite. It's amusing trying to keep track of it in scientific notation...
 
I played Magic a lot in college. Late nights with my fellow nerds in the lounge. :)

OMG, Flippy! We have a box of Jyhad cards in our attick that used to get a lot of play. :) Don't know many others that played it.

I think people stopped playing with me because I always won. I eventually gave all my MTG cards to a friend, who gave me all his Jyhad cards in return. That and they INWO cards are sitting in the garage on top of stacks of RPG books.
 
heh heh heh...

just because I can't resist!

I'm gonna be honest, I'm still holding on to my cards. I think I spent 1/3 of the money I earned working at Piggly Wiggly on those cards. I must have somwhere in the thousands of cards :o| Gonna be honest, I hated Mirrodin with a passion, and never looked back after that set. I thought they screwed up so many good game mechanics with that set.
 
I own alot of MTG cards. And have been playing for at least 6+ years.

I <3 man Greenskins(>.> 40k) so i run goblins.

Boy, do i love them, lawl. Best card ever? Sharp shooters..just need 4 actual copies(have 2 championship ones)

Although, For hobbies, i tend to spend more in Warhammer 40,000
 
you guys should check out the planeswalkers, they're incredible. The only problem is that they usually get gunned down immediately.

That's awesome Ninja! :)
 
I used to play quite a bit...but nowdays all my cards are just sitting in boxes. One of these days I'll dig 'em out and find someone to beat on. :P

Oh, and I still think Mirrodin is the best Type 2 block. :D

No casting cost? Madness!

I got into Magic at the beginning (when it was simple! :) ). I had a friend of mine who went to GenCon buy me a few decks because it wasn't locally available at the time and I spent (at least) hundreds of $ on it since. I haven't played in years but I alway held onto my cards. I lost interest when they kept coming out with new editions and new rules that I couldn't keep up with. This thread is really making want to play again though...
