Does anyone else play or played this in the past? I recently got into it with a couple friends and its actually fun. Never been much of a fan of card games, but this was simple enough for me to pick up and catch on.

Used to play about 4 or 5 years ago. Went Friday Night Magic every week and entered some bigger tournaments every now and again. I've still got loads of cards, 8 Wraths, 9 BOPS, 5 Chrome Moxes. I can't even remember whats good any more.
It's a fun game but I grew out of it and the new sets started getting shitter and shitter. I have a game against my brother every so often, with older decks, of course.
i play mtg. casually though. never entered into any tournaments. but it's a really fun game and it's a good activity to do with friends.
That's what I thought until I entered tournaments, so much more fun and competitive. Drafts and pre-releases are so much fun, I love opening the new packs and attempting to build a half decent deck.
i was thinking of playing at a FNM or something. sometime. but i think of myself as more of a casual player. i do, on occasion, do a small draft with my friends. thats quite fun. and actually quite draining; the whole attempting to build a deck out of cards you never expected, or sometimes wanted, to get. that and our drafts take a long, long time. it's fun though.
I played like, 6 or 7 years ago. Haven't even looked for my cards in years.
You should definitely try a pre-release, they're awesome. This thread got me wanting to play again so I'm downloading Magic Online. I't wont be the same but it's worth a go.
I used to play, but I recently sold my collection for like $80.
I play competitively in the local tournaments. I'm currently running a Counter Manipulation deck building on Kulrath Knight, and Necroskitter, and a White weenie deck maxmizing the synergy of kithkin
Played competitively from Judgement through the end of Kamigawa. I won a few small tourneys amounting to about $1000, but quit when my local shop shut. I still draft (very rarely) from time to time; I'm actually going to one this weekend. I'm interested to see this new block, and be confused as hell as to why there are keywords like Vigilance and Shroud.
P.S. Drafting is the best way to get into competitive magic, assuming you show up a little early and hang out with the other players at your shop, or stay a little after.

My friends play Legacy format.
They've been playing for...oh, maybe 12 years now.
I don't play with them because their card collections are topping the amount it would cost to buy a new car. P9 alone is fucking ridiculous, and I think there's at least 2 sets in the house.
Legacy isn't type 1, as far as I know. Type 1 is extended.
And I doubt you know what you're talking about, cause I've seen quite a few people win within two to three turns, on a consistent basis, and yes the truly devastating combos do, but there also some you can pull off with non restricted.
Fuck, I can win turn two in type two pretty easily with my black green deck. I've won turn 3 more times than I care to count.
And more often than that I've seen stasis and control decks lock the field so they might as well have won within as many turns as well.
Edit - I might be thinking of Vintage. I can never keep them straight.
Extended is extended (the last 6 blocks)
Type 1 is everything with restrictions and bans
Type 1.5 is type 1 but all restricted cards banned instead.
Type 2 is Standard (2 blocks)
Two or three turns does happen, I know that, it's turn 1 that is rare. I've done it once, but only once. (Tolarian Academy + Mirrodin worked well.)
Most of my competitive play was Mirrodin/Onslaught or Mirrodin/Kamigawa Type 2.
I don't know the current Standard; I stopped playing for the most part at the end of the Kamigawa block.
When did you start? I know they renamed them somewhere in late Mirrodin / early Kamigawa, I just never bothered to learn the new names since I was mostly playing standard and Limited (draft / sealed) at that point.
Ancestral Recall has always been better than Black Lotus

One of the main reasons those people win in turn one is more than likely because they have a Black Lotus or 4.

At the moment, with Shards coming out, I'm making my Type 2 to run Green,White,Red and a splash of Blue. At the pre-release it did surprisingly well, really enjoying the new spells they've added.
I didn't mean to doublepost ...

Black green is the way to go

I played when I was younger. However it cost me too much to keep up with it, which was frustrating because some of my friends made money off the game.
(sorry for necromancy)
I'm trying to get back into magic right now. I've managed to acquire some pretty good cards over the years too.
4 lightning bolts ftw
I played this casually 6 or 7 years ago, then last year I decided I wanted to play again. Couldn't find all my old cards, so I dropped a hundo or more on new ones, and then ended up never playing. I gave the cards to my sister, she plays in bars with her boyfriend and their friends. I doubt I'll ever get back into it again.
Yeah I played 4 years ago, I got a few friends who started playing it again, but schools out and I'm moving out to college. I feel like my deck would be too outdated and I'd have to relearn everything so I didn't feel like getting back in :[. Maybe if someone taught me to play I'd finally get back in :]. Not that great though, just 4 decks. Not a real hardcore player but yeah.
I played all throughout high school, then donated my cards to a tournament crawler when I left for college. I was pretty good, had an old 4th edition hard box that I put my six main decks in. I was pretty hardcore. I recently downloaded the Xbox Live Arcade version and enjoy it very much. I play it for an hour every few days. It is cheaper than getting back into ti for real, and the experience is still intact.
While this game was great a few years back it's pretty much a thing of the past for me. I gave my deck to my little brother. He still plays I think.
Hahaha...
Played from beta through Odyssey. I was a JSS champion, level 3 judge, and Tour competitor.
Power 9? Probably still have my full sets of it at my parents house, unless they decided to destroy my huge collection.
Artifacts/blue was my favorite deck for screwing around. TINKER!!!!!
Its actually quite expensive to play competitively unless you are a winner.
this is how i felt about the game when i was younger
i mean the mechanics were aight and could be potentially fun if you played with the right people but the vast majority of mtg players are freckly nerds who spout rules and combos all day and i personally always had a strong urge to kill them with a pipe in the ballroom
I'd play with you vanilla bear
Is this like pokemon?
yes but instead of sticking your dick inside pikachu you stick it inside a swamp to play dark ritual
what about yugioh?
in yugioh you stick your dick in an eggroll
Sligh was the best deck ever s my d fags
