I was just reading the replies to the front page article on cheating and it was starting to get off-topic, so I'm moving the topic here.
What's the new topic? Well, the title of this thread says it all: Sharing. Back in the days of my little Tuesday night Magic sessions we would get new players a lot. Many of them were not rich and had car/insurance/rent pymnts to makeso they could only afford to buy enough cards to make a couple of decks to have fun w/ each other. So, my roommate and I would drag out our dirt (as in 'common as') and let them grab as much as they wanted...but, still is that enough to build a good deck? No. These guys needed rares and uncommons to build some decks that could compete w/ ours. So, I would dig through my folders and find rares that I didn't like to play and just hand them out. I think I gave away something like three Sol Rings and a Maze of Ith (they were restricted at the time, so why not?).
Life was good and everyone had fun
