I've been playing MtG for over five years now. Unfortunately, I don't get to play it much anymore, because my brother seems to think collecting the cards and not playing the game is a good idea, and the guy I played with at school doesn't care much for the game lately (despite having paid like $120 for a box of 10,000 cards). Also, I haven't gotten any cards newer than the Time Spiral block, except for the ones that came in the free packs they gave to everyone in the goodie bags at Wizard World.
LD, Mirrodin block or the Mirrodin set itself?
WarpRattler's story about recent events regarding MtG:
While at Wizard World this summer, I spent a lot of time at the Wizards of the Coast booth. Most of that time was spent helping out with the MapleStory TCG demo (I really wish I had taken them up on their offer regarding potentially getting into GenCon as a volunteer to help at the WotC booth, but oh well), but I also did the D&D4E and D&D Miniatures demos...and lots of MtG demoing, since they were giving out Time Spiral tournament packs and loads of boosters. On Saturday, I left my box of decks (containing, among other things, the sliver deck I've been building for over three years) at the booth...fortunately, I was able to get it back the next day, but not before having made another sliver deck using cards from the tournament packs and boosters. Also on Saturday, I won a raffle at the WotC booth, which got me a neat MtG bag containing a life spinner (not the die kind, unfortunately - or maybe fortunately since I probably would've gotten it mixed up with real d20s when I was running D&D sessions later in the summer), a card box (some assembly required), nine boosters, a playmat with Serra Angel and Black Lotus images on it (which I gave to my girlfriend, who was hoping to win the raffle prize right before that - a signed Serra Angel print - because she wouldn't be forced to throw it away by her semi-ultra-Christian mom*), a pack of D&D Miniatures...and books 4-6 of The Legend of Drizzt (aka the first three books written in the series), which has turned out to be my favorite part of the prize by far.
*Weirdness about that: Her mom lets her read stuff like the LotR books, but when it comes to Magic and D&D, no, sir, she won't allow it. I've told Kalee that she should explain the proper logic regarding this to her mother, but I don't know if she's done so yet.
