I used to play several months ago. But I only played for about 2 months, and i felt I had gotten everything from the card game there was to take. I new all the functions of every card (except some badly worded ones from alpha and beta etc), I have gotten a nice collection of cards, I had got good stretegies and pre-made decks...then i realised, I was playing a game that was based on luck.
Like with every card game, you have a chance to draw a card/s you want, or a junk one. I eventually gave up because I was sick of not picking up the cards I wanted, and then even if you had all the skill in the world, if someone gets lucky with their draw, and you get unlucky, then you can be screwed.
So there you have it, my life story

I used to play this game YEARS ago, back when Legends was first coming out. I didn't realize people still played it. Very cool.

I really need to find out if my old cards are worth anything...

I used to play years ago. I still have an uninished Type 1 *undefeatable* deck.

My friend and I are going to decide on our decks in 1.5 weeks tops. Then we are going to rush for cards and hopefully make it to the top spots. This is a Standard Tourny. So Top 4 at the regionals across the globe go to that nationals at Baltimore.

So right now I can only use 8th Edition, Mirrodian Block, and Kamigawa Block.

Anyone play the recent MtG so they can throw some suggestions around?

Anyone know the name of the program that is just like mtg online, but its free, and you can LAN play with other people? I had it but lost it when i reformatted.
EDIT: no worries, i found it, its called magic the gathering apprentice if anyone wants to get it.

I played MTG from 3RD Edition until around Mirage when my son who is now 24 was into it big time. I had almost every card there was except for a Black Lotus at one time or another. I still have several thousand cards in a drawer that we get out once in a while just to buyild a deck and play for a weekend. I entered two tournaments that were held at The University of Akron and made the final 16 once. That was out of over 400 players. At the time I played a Dragon?Snake Basket/Altar?Hurricane Deck that was just so weird that no one knew what to expect from it. After that tourney everyone was prepared and it lost miserably to the sideboarded cards that started showing up. I still have full sets in binders form those days but many of my power cards have been sold or traded or given away. Anyway good times.

i play the mtg UMS map in starcraft Very Happy

its different from the card game. much different, but the challenge is also much greater. a lot of the people who play the ums map are really good at it.
