[nodnarb24]

I still play Magic, but long for the early days because in the early days you could play one game for hours at a time now a game is over in about five minutes.

 

[garfobo]

Im pretty bad at magic, i need FoR usually to even make a good deck, but i still like playing, and the games are so much fun. I dont really know the "good old days" ive only ben playin aa year. Oh Well, just thought id say that.

------------------------------------------------------------

Wow, quite a few apply. Well all of them are true, and some of them seemed a bit repetitiose.

What's this for?

 

[Duel]

-You know, I can't remember the last time I played in an extended tournament.(Or tournament, period. I've never been in one!)

-I miss Jamie wakefield's Articles

"Boom boom boom. Red is dumb"

But I don't see how I can fit this into the Voting Booth!

I'll do like Hawaiian, and answer like this:

-I love playing Magic.
-I play Magic for the exhilarating competitive atmosphere.
-I play Magic to win!
-I play Magic as an alternative hobby to other usual things ie: Drinking at the Local Pub or Bowling League, etc...
-I play Magic because it challenges the mind.
-I enjoy playing Magic with anyone who wants to play.
-I play Magic because it's something I'm good at.
-I play Magic to meet new people.
-I play Magic, but that's not all I do.
-I play Magic for the companionship with my friends.
-I play Magic AND other CCG's as well.
-I still play Magic, but long for the early days.
-It's hard to find someone to play Magic with.
-I play Magic AND Pokemon. (Pokemon with my sons)

-I stopped playing tournament Magic. (But not by choice - by opportunity)
-I have friends, and we play Magic.

-I like foils. (They make such good trade bait!)
-I miss Jamie Wakefield's articles.

-I miss Five-Color Green. (It was so much fun to beat on it!)
-I miss Ferret.

That about covers it!

 

[Spiderman]

That was pretty long...

I guess to sum up me is to say I wish I played even a little Magic now (pretty much stopped) and I wish I had money to keep up with sets although I still like the old cards. Since I don't play, deck-building has stopped too although I liked that aspect also.

 

[Hellion]

There might be more but i dun want to drag.

 

[Seeker of Truth]

The list of statements was rather extensive, so I'll sum up my "Magic personality" in my own words:

Unfortunately, I have hardly any time to play Magic live. The last "in-person" event I attended was the Prophecy prerelease, and before that, the Nemesis prerelease, so live Magic sessions are few and far between for me. I don't have a circle of Magic-playing friends, so I don't play on a regular basis. I go online once in a while and use the M:IE, but even that's been getting rarer lately. I really want to play more, but schedules being what they are, I just can't do it.

I appreciate every game I get to play, even if it's against a total rules guru who is looking to screw me at every opportunity. I always let people take back moves, even if they don't let me, because I don't think winning is all that matters. I like playing original decks, but I also enjoy reading about major deck types and finding out how they work. I hate prize politics and "win-at-all-costs" attitudes. I never think a card is broken, because I'm never trying to break it (except if it's a really bad card, in which case it's for the challenge). I rarely play multicolored (read: two or more colors) decks, and I hardly ever use artifacts. I traded away my one Masticore, my Academy Rectors and my Yawgmoth's Bargains because I'd never use them. Creating new cards is a fun and addictive pastime.

So, that's everything about me that applies to Magic.

[DÛke]

Hey, what's up, I'm new here.
I really wanted to reply to his one.
I think I'm all of those, except the one "I play Magic AND PokeMon..." I know it's ironic, but I'm all of those.
For example, part of me will miss the Urza Block when it's out of T2, but the other part of me is either happy or doesn't care, I haven't been able to tell
I hope I'm being nice to everyone, I really don't want to be known for being mean to people.

I've posted at MTGNews too...Although nothing personal has happened...I know what you're like...
