I don't care if you're joking, I was obsessed with MTG for years. I have thousands upon thousands of cards, all pre-2007. I haven't played in a few years just because no-one else is interested, but I still like building a deck from time to time. It's my guilty pleasure.

The new cards look stupid as fuck imo.

Yup. Was obsessed with these when I was like 10-12. I have sooooo many old cards that I need to get rid of. As I recall, I have a rad kithkin deck and a couple of those special guys that are pretty rare I guess.

I would be too. I just really can't afford to buy cards anymore.

To whoever thinks the game is dumb or for nerds, check out the art. There are some really talented people working on those cards, I'm ALWAYS impressed.

a bunch of my friends started playing this spring. obviously made fun of them initially. they got me a starter pack for graduation and I immediately got addicted. had some great late night high/drunk postgames with the boys and some MTG.

Busted out the decks earlier this month, Magic tournaments now breathe new life into mindlessly drinking away the hours in dark bar booths!

There used to be a strange group of kids that would play this shit in high school. THey'd sit on the floor in the school hallways and play while kids like me walked by them like they didn't exist and occasionally kick their card decks all over the place.

MTG is the shit, cant even compare it to Yugayhoe.

I think the last set I really looked into was M11, every summer me and my friends have one or two drafts, if we play for money it gets really intense. And I've found that alot of people who play Magic are nerds, yes, but theres an equal number of people who are chill, everyday dudes

Was considered a solid part of a deck, they've come a long way. The combos and unreal power of cards they come out with now are just insane

Funny thing, I worked at a summer lodge last year, and we got a new guy coming in. This was a kid who had gang tats, wore jean shorts down to his ankles, and made money beating kids up who didnt pay their drug dealers.

Huge scumbag, but he saw me and some other workers playing MTG after hours, and instead of calling us fags, he got all excited and whipped out a deck of his own and kicked our asses haha.

He and I became friends until he fucked a girl visiting the lodge and pulled a knife on a kid and got fired :/

That and when I was younger my parents wouldn't even consider buying me trading cards. Any trading card I got was as a gift on birthdays or Christmas.

Ya, I was lucky, the kid who first showed me magic had a shit tone of cards from his older brother so he just gave me a deck. Then I bought some on my own.

My first roommate in college "got back into this" when I was a freshman. Spent about 550$ on cardboard crack within a few months. Then had his mom send out his old cards from CT, and shit got fucking real, because that dude had a damn Lotus card that everyone gawked over.

I had to leave my pad back then because it got way too obnoxious listening to those guys geek out. It was like 7th grade Pokemon cards all over again. Instead of CHARIZARD it was JAYCE THE ANAL RAPER! or whatever the fuck...
