Magic: The Gathering

[EddieRuckus]

Just checking to see if there is anyone else who plays Magic: The Gathering around here on EWB. For those of you who don't know, MTG is a collectible card game that's been going strong for 10 years and involves mythical creatures along with artifacts and spells as you test out your strategies in duels.

Also, does anyone play it online? If so I am usually on everyday and my username is Kreblon.

Bah. If there's one thing I don't like, it's Magic Cards. They're pretty much the running joke of our grade/ school, as all the "nerds" (I use the term loosely, as I go to a Selective School, thus we're all technically "smart") play it. And they all play it in one part of the school as well, which is pretty much void of any other human life form.

So, no, I don't like it. I'm not into "tapping mana".

[G-O-D]

I use to play it. But I've lost interest in it already, and I've pretty much sold most of the cards I have collected.

I played it like... 8 years ago... when I was 13, and it was semi cool to hang out at a comic book store and play it.

Then I found alcohol. And titties.

The rest, as they say, is history.

I used to, but I quit after they changed the card design.

[PkmnTrainerJ]

I played it for about a year, spent a little fortune on it, grew bored of it.

[Hellfire]

nope, i never got into that stuff. A couple people I know do play, and they showed me how to play, but i still wasnt interested.

[The Hardcore Canuck]

I used to play it. Then, one day I put my deck down next to my computer, and downloaded EW 9000. My deck is still sitting there.

[Dan]

Meh, i play some cool games which are like MTG, but never played with cards or anything.

[cauti0n]

I played it about 5 years ago. Then I realised how much of a waste of time and money it was.

[kale]

bah you people suck. MTG is the best trading card game ever developed. There is a reason why it has been around for over a decade.

[Cactus Drags]

Because idiots will continue to pay the absolutely ludicrous prices for the cards?

I don't care how good it is, the prices are outrageous.

[kale]

Are you talking about packs or singles?

[Cactus Drags]

Just in general. I've seen packs (booster pack size, no idea how many cards), going for over a fiver in some plces (think it was Smiths).

[kale]

$5 a pack? That's insane. Most places I see packs about $3.50.

[Cactus Drags]

Five pounds. I'm english. And that's upwards of five pounds in some cases.
