Anyone here play/collect? I'm a pretty intense follower of Magic. I started playing in 1999 {I was what, 7?} and played with a majority of Apocalypse, 7th/8th edition and Odyssey cards. I learned how to play by some generous supervisors at the day care I stayed at before my parents came to pick me up. Adventure Club, if you will. I got all the other girls to play after I learned the basic rules.
I took a break after the whole "no more cards in school thing" that MTG and the new Yugioh created. Came back after my mom let me pick up an Issue of Inquest that had Darksteel deck reviews. Couldn't play as much as I wanted to because "fuck cards need vidya" stage was in full force. My Gamecube is still my best friend.
Got really interested in the original City of Guilds block: guilds, feuds, eat my money. Right as Coldsnap was releasing, I lost interest. I just now came back, probably at the end of Magic 2012's cycle. I was a bit eh on planeswalkers aside from Jace. Cliched but I am a traditional blue player. Got caught up in the last half decade's worth of standard and current metagame. List of unopened product I purchased in the last year:
- All 3 premium decks: Gravborn, Fire/Lightning, and Slivers {just recently for $30!!!!}
- 2 RTR boxes, 1 fat pack
- 1 Scars of MIrrodin box
- Venser v Koth, Ajani and Nicol Bolas
- 2012 Planechase at $20 retail prices
- at least 100 random booster packs from standard sets
Got a ton of singles I haven't had the money to buy until now. I also bought a full set of Avacyn Restored for $100 off Ebay a few months ago. I am currently working on refining my casual Reanimator deck. I just got my 4th Graveborn Exhume for 15c the other day.
Anyways, who's excited for Dragon's Maze? I like smaller sets, and am looking forward to the spoiled cards.
