Who In Here Plays Magic: The Gathering?

Just curious about this, and I know I am an uber-geek, but hell I love it, lol.....MTG is the shiz IMO......Got my hands on some Ravnica stuff, and this card set is made for people who love Green/White decks

I use to play it,kicked arse back then.

oh it kicks major arse now, lol.......lot of new abilities, Enchantments, Artifacts, the works....you should check out the Mirrodin series first though, as that has the best stuff I've seen in quite awhile.......then go with Ravnica.....I would stick with Mirrodin or even something as old as Onslaught if you want to go with Red/White, Blue/Black, or something else like Red/Green/Black. We're up to 9th Edition cards now, so it's something to look into definitely, not to mention some of the cards that come in the booster packs are worth some money, so if you still have some older stuff (1st or 2nd edition, maybe 4th ed. at the latest), you can get a pricing guide and find out what the cards are worth......man only if I had more friends in my area who played, I would be straight, lol.

All of my friends quit on me so I gave up too+ I don't have funds to start all over and it'll take over my life again...We had 1st and 2nd edition cards.

You still have em? If so I would be looking through some guides, lol.....if I lived out in L.A. I would play with ya, lol......I miss playing, so for now I'm laying low, staying up to date on the newest cards and collecting them.....the sad part is since my buddy grabbed my earlier cards without a word, I'm having to restart my collection with Ravnica, and I'll have to work my way backwards, so I think I'll grab a Ravnica fat pack and some Mirrodin stuff.

good question, lol

btw, sorry if you're a Yu-Gi-Oh fan, but Yu-Gi-Oh sucks my wank, roflmao

MTG was and is the ultimate card/real time role-playing game!! Like I said, I'm a nerd, lol......I'm not good enough to play in tourneys or anything, but can hold my own for a bit, heheh

I don't play yu-gi-oh.I thought they were playing magic becuase I saw them with cards.I was "pff nerds" LOL.

hahaha, gotta love it when you see someone playing an inferior game, makes you feel like you have a nasty little secret up your sleeve, lol.......all I know is after I get my "holiday cheer" tomorrow, I'm grabbing that MTG stuff I want, for real, lol.....:::twitching from MTG withdrawl::: lol

Oooh, what luck have I, woo hoo

ok, so I was going down to a local comic book/trading card game store to get a MTG Fat Pack (Which has that card set's card catalog, some booster packs, a theme deck [or two, can't remember], all in a nifty tin for $30), only to find they were dry out of them because of Wizard's cutting them from print not too long ago.....ok, so I was only going to pick up a Mirrodin Theme Deck when this guy was eyeing this 36 booster-pack box which retails for $130, but the guys running the store were going to sell it for $90 since they had a few (this was from Ravnica btw, the newest card set).....well, I was looking at it too and thought $90 was wayyyyy too high, so the dude came up to me and asked me to go in halfers with him......needless to say I jumped all over it because I wanted some cards damnit, lol......ok, so I get 18 boosters and he gets 18. I get them home and start to look through them, to find something that is kinda hard to find, and may be worth money: a Foiled Rare card

!!!!!!!!! Not to mention the other 7 Foils I found throughout the booster packs, and the usual bevy of rare cards (1 per booster) and uncommons and so on.....going to find an online pricing catalog to find out what it's worth, because if it's worth anything, I'm gonna find someone who wants it, and get rid of it if it's worth a good deal!! Oh man, talk about Christmas benevolence and luck

......not too bad for $45 for close to 300 cards eh?

And as for the "Christmas Cheer", heheh, I got some for sure!!!! Rumple Minze, Godive White, and Bailey's Irish Cream, not to mention some Starbucks Espresso Roast coffee, all of which will be used in my dastardly, drunken scheme in a few hours when South Park comes on Comedy Central at 10pm EST. Just thought I would drop the good news to all the MTG fans and players out there

i never played it... although, i did have fun making fun of people who played it (my best friend included).

killswitch83 · Post by **killswitch83** » Sat Dec 24, 2005 11:44 pm

hey, keeps us from committing crimes against others, so I'm for it, lol....I wasn't too keen at first, but once I started playing, I was like holy s**t, it's expansive! so yeah I'm one of those geeks, and the jocks who make fun of people like us can shove a 30 ft pole with a pine cone on the end up their a**, lol

kidding, kidding, I'm drunk

haha i was a closet geek (captain of the high school quizbowl team for 2 out of 4 years), but i still thought magic was totally lame. i busted my best friends' balls so many times about that game...

lol....well all I know is it's way too late for me now, gonna lay down and relax and watch some InuYasha (two of the movies are on tonight on Cartoon Network, 1:30-3:30 and 3:30-5:30am EST). It's coming on in 5 min as a matter of fact, so I bid you a Merry Christmas and a good night.

yeah Goldschlager can leave you with a bad taste in your mouth, literally!

Especially if you consume wayyyy too much of it.....never had problems with schnapps, but have had problems with Peruvian Rum before......Cabo Blanco to be exact....cheap rum, but will get you messed up really quick, and leave you with one hell of a hangover.......just awful.

I started back in the Alpha days. Had mostly Alphas, Betas, a few Revised and one 4th edition. I got tired of the all BS at that point and quit.

EDIT: Oh, and I love Goldshlager and I love giving cute girls shots of it.
