Does anybody on here play Magic? I used to, as did like half of SWAT. A few people have told me they used to play also. Just curious.
I played it when i was 10 or 11, and i played a red-blue deck without creatures. 
So did I, and everyone else at some point. 
I played magic since I was 6. I stopped about a year ago, and have been gettin’ rid of my cards to finance a muni. But $400 is alot better than a ton of boxes/binders full of cardboard pieces sitting in my closet.
Man good times though…
I was tempted to last year when the rest of the CS gang at my university were playing… but I neber had money for decks, and then they all sold their decks 'cause they were spending too much time playing Magic as opposed to important stuff, like schoolwork (And CounterStrike ;))
I still have a box of old cards somewhere. I haven’t played a game in close to 10 years. When I realized how much I was spending on it I stopped.
I have a box some where, man when I played (with my bros) my white deck killed.
I have no idea what you all are talking about.

I haven’t played in sooooo long, and I don’t intend to. So what’s the best way to sell 5000 cards and 600 rares?
ebay.
I started playing Magic the Nerdening once, but then realized what I was becoming, and stopped before it was too late.
i played magic…
the new stuff is all crap, though, so I am done, and if I ever want to play, i will just use what i have…
(trust me, it’s enough)
I just started playing, and I have a red-black deck. I don’t intend to spend any money on it other then the initial deck that I buy.
And yes, I do know that this thread is 3 years old:D
i also play, iv been playing for like 4 years or more, i cant remember, i have a judgment style green deck thats been tricked out with cards that giver 6/6 worm tokens, and alot of um, and a few red including a 7/7 dragon, tho sadly, its no longer legal
My brother and I have picked up our playing since I last posted in this thread. We pitch in on a booster box of cards every time a set comes out, as well as a few of the preconstructed decks(whichever ones suit our fancy). We have something like 40 custom-built constantly-changing decks already built by either myself, my brother, his roomate or a combination of the three of us and we play at least a couple times a week if not more. My brother has considered working for Wizards of the Coast s a deckbuilder/card designer guy, he just hasn’t pursued it, even though he should, I don’t know of anyone who knows the game better. We plan on sweeping the west coast and taking ourselves to the World tourney sometime in the near future, I don’t doubt our chances at glory and fame.
Our current card count is over 750,000 cards from all editions and growing every couple months.
I played when I was in Elementary School… a lot. My dad is a fantasy nerd so he got me to play with him. Then I played it a lot with my friends because it really is a fun card game…we played at sleepovers and what not. Or at school during lunch. Once middle school hit, I stopped playing…not because I wanted to, but because my friends stopped playing.
Flash forward to now…I started playing again this summer when my friend and I thought it would be fun to buy a new Theme Deck and play for fun. I have since bought one more theme deck, and started making more decks out of my old cards. It is a fun game, and as long as I don’t spend anymore money…it will be a fun game. Once you start buying specific cards or booster packs you get hooked on spending money on the game, but if you play for fun with preconstructed decks, or with decks out of your old cards and proxy cards then it is a really fun game.
My current deck is a Black/Blue discard deck with hypnotic specters, megrims, and racks.
My ultra combo, i can have up to 24 worm 6/6 tokens on the plane with these 2 card alone, 48 all together with my others
Then I play Evacuation EOT.
That sucks… who wants to pay nearly 35 mana for such a little advantage? especially when you could throw down a Damnation or WoG for less than five and all of your creatures are GONE! WHo needs more than one creature when you have infinite turns and big flyers to attack with… IE: Imprint Isochron Scepter with Final Fortune, a red instant originally from the MIrage Block. Then, with the PLatinum Angel in play, you can keep dishing out the final fortune which translates into lots of extra turns for you. Now, Final Fortune says you lose the game at the end of the that extra turn. Here’s the fun part. YOU CAN’T LOSE THE GAME… if you have the Angel in play. Just make sure the Angel is out of harm’s reach from your opponent. NOt even half the amount of mana spent and an inifinite turn combo.
Evacuation owns your combo too Catboy. Even if you have Darksteel Forge in play.
I used buy cases of them at a time and I made some killer decks. Then I sold them all.
Lately, my nephews have picked up the game, so we play (with their decks) whenever we get together.
Obie, when I sold them, I sold groups of rares on eBay, e.g. a lot of 4 Serra Angels, a lot of 11 Dual Lands, etc. Then I got tired of that and sold a couple shoe boxes full, and in the eBay auction I just listed every good card in the lot.
I got an awful lot of money from ebaying those cards, though maybe not more than the cards cost originally.
To all you guys who have a box of older cards just lying in storage, you’d be AMAZED at how much those little piecces of cardboard are worth now. Which is better, a box full of cards that you never use, or a sparkling new uni?
