Lessee...where to begin...

I started playing back in 2000, when Planeshift was just released. My first deck was the R/G/W Scout precon deck. From there I slowly built up a card pool and started creating more decks.

I have not played in any DCI sanctioned tournaments, as where I have been living has no place to do so. I mostly play casual, and a lot of my decks show that, as they are usually rather weird.

My favourite colours are Green, Black, and White. I don't really care for Red or Blue, but use them occasionally. They do have some handy stuff.

I like to teach new players how to play, though for the newbies this game can be exceedingly frustating with so many rules. I try to help them out and make learning it as painless as possible (Don't dentists say the same thing? O_o)

And that's about all I have to say about that.

Hello. My name is Janitorious. I am addicteed to Magic. *Solem clapping*

Ok, any way. I started a nice long time ago. About fourth grade, I graduated this year. If you do the math, lemme know. My friend came back from the city with Prophecy's mono green deck. So we split into two piles, and that was our first game. I lived in a small town, and magic was really all there was to do.

I play casual, through and through. I went to a DCI tourney once, thought we got to make a deck there, turned out we had to play with kamigawa cards. So me and my friend spent thirty minutes throwing togather cards and building a deck. Both ours were less than sixty cards, so we got disqualified after the first round. Fun fun.

I like playing red and black alot. Red and blue is also fun. I have a monster of a green and red deck, thats fun. My red and blue burns like crazy using judgements madness deck cyclers. Its the first burn deck I've ever seen that worked, unless you ahev protection from red, or aren't playing a creature deck.

Any way, thats me. I'm up for games over the internet pretty much any time. Its midnight forty six right now, and I usually work till midnight, so if you wana play a late night game, I'm game. Current;y all I ahve is MSN, so we'll have to play over that.

Apacalypse will always be my favorite set, prophecy comes in second. Jilt is my all-time favorite card, just cause. Its got soul.

Any way, theres alot of stuff you didn;t ned to know, prolly some you didn't want to know, and hopefully, a litle you did. So lemme kno if you ever want to play a game.

Name's Nick, but I often go by Neogoth on the internet. I've only been playing since the Onslaught block, not too long....I'm 18 yrs. of age currently, and I'm also part of the Official Magic: The Gathering Guild run by Vicious_X. Anyway.....um......[insert random perverted outburst here]...I haven't really played FNM, although, they have it at Lone Star Comics, the local comic store here. Not much else to say, so I'll be off....

Reaver here. I first got into Magic back in 1998 when the Urza's block was going strong. Got into playing because one of my good friends had a massive collection, so I decided I'd learn by building my own deck out of his stuff. Twas an off-kilter Green/Black thing that was horrible.

I didn't start collecting until the tailend of the Masques cycle and the beginning of the Invasion block. Dropped out of collecting/playing after the Odyssey set and when the Onslaught cycle and Mirrodin cycle were at the forefront...that's what got me back into playing.

My favorite combinations are mainly anything with Black. Mono-black, black/blue, black/green, and black/white are my faves. Got some pretty nasty decks out of each of them, though I do like the whole guilds theme out of Ravnica.

Favorite individual cards are ANYTHING demon. I hate the fact that most of my friends have these nearly unbeatable Angel decks, so I went against the grain and scoured the land for demons for my near unbeatable casual deck. Tis fun.

Howdy y'all, my name's Dan, and I live out in the gambling center of the world (well, sorta. I'm in Reno). I've played for about 3 years, since I was a freshman in high school when Champions had just come out. My first deck was the G/R precon from 5th Dawn, which eventually evolved into a U/R ping deck. My favorite style is definetely control, and my favorite color is blue (with green coming in second, and in combination whenever possible).

I play mostly casual, but I started to get into tournaments at the local card shop until I got in an accident. I haven't been able to get around for the last 2 months due to lack of wheels, but I still play my friends almost every day.

My favorite card...hmm, that's a toughie. I like Spikeshot Goblin and Experiment Kraj the most, I guess, but basically any card that I can use for some freakish combo.

Wow...uh...i began playing magic in third grade and i believe i began with revised...not sure though. Definitely was around when Ice Age, Tempest and Mirage came out.

Since then i've been off and on, but love the game.

I've been around Oddessey, Mirrodin, Kamigawa, and Guildpact. But since cards cost money and i have no more money...no cards.

My favorite card in the whole wide world, although its worthless (well...about a $1 for the foil, which i have smile ) is the Judgement Scalpelexsis.

It costs 1 blue, 5 colorless and its a 1/5 flying beast. It's ability activates when it deals combat damage to an opponent and it removes the top 4 cards of their library from the game. If any of the removed four had the same name, they repeat the process.

So it may suck...its a fun card. Heh.

My very first deck was a hodgepodge Green deck. It ran uhh...lost of cards i thought were cool...but it sucked. I forgot what was in it.

I also seem to lean towards decks with white for some reason but of the decks i have i pretty much have no real preference.

Except for maybe Enchantments. For some reason i luv enchantments. Most of my decks are based around certain enchantments. Dunno why, i guess i just have an Enchantment Fetish. Heh...who knew?

Anywho...that's me in a nutshell...or nut collector...or...squirrel nest...or whatever.

I have been playing Magic since the fifth grade I am now a senior oh how the time flies. I love playing the game I remember way back when I started playing and I played Breeding Pit + Lord of the Pit it was awesome. Now I am a good player I play at PTQ's, Champs, and everything in between. I love to play Vintage it is an insane format and I love it even though I don't have the power..... sad but that's why they invented proxy tournaments. I love all sorts of decks control and combo are my favorites, but aggro can be fun sometimes too. I just simply love this game and hope it never grows old for me.

Hello everyone, I'm Bogus_Burger but you can call me BB

I started playing magic in 1999 when I was 14 after I bought a starter kit, 5th edition tourney pack and a masques precon. I got addicted but I couldn't find anyone to play with so I stopped playing shortly after Oddessy was released

I started playing again in time for guildpact's release when I went to an FNM draft at a store near me.

I like to experiment with all kinds of decks and all kinds of multiplayer formats. I love crazy combos.

I don't know that I have just one favorite card, but if I had to choose I'd say Island.

Hello, I'm Mooby, and I'm a Golden Sock.

I began playing Magic: The Gathering back in September of 1998. A friend taught me how to play, and gave me 38 green cards (mostly commons) from various sets (some 4th, some 5th, Tempest, Exodus, etc.)

I bought a tournament pack of 5th Edition, and a tournament pack of Urza's Saga and two boosters. (Detailed enough? Yeah, probably.)

Anyhoo, I stopped buying cards after that, though I still played 1-2 times a year with some high school friends using my old cards. Then I entered college, and that ended that.

Last year, I ran into Bogus Burger, and found out he played Magic. I brought my old cards to school and we preceded to get about half our house addicted. I got into Friday Night Magic at a store about a block away, and became a draft addict. Now I'm actively playing again!

Given my start, I'm still a fan of creature based decks (and not weenies, either!), though I also love borrowing other people's decks and seeing what I can do with them, regardless of the theme. My favorite color is green and my least favorite is either black or blue, though I'll play any color (especially at drafts.)

My favorite card is Mindslaver, because it's incredibly fun to use and involves immense amount of strategy from both players.

I'm lady V but if you ook at my sig, I'm a guy, so ya enigma one out of the way.

Ok On too me, I'm 16 nearly 17 will be in May. I hardly ever go to tournemments because of a lack of cash flow. I am usually found at pre releases in my area, as I try to go to one of each release. I've found those to be strictly dependent on how much skill you have, not how much money daddy has.

My ex-boyfreind taught me how to play, by hitting me in the back of the head every time I did something out of order, like the phases of the turn, if I drew before untapping he hit me in the back of the head. It only took me one game to master that much.

That was around the end of kaigawa, he gave me my first deck, a black green spirit deck he constructed when he bought a booster box. and about 40 packs.

Mostly right now I enjoy simply making decks, I curently have a list of 13. Also I mostly play casually at home, with my mom(yay new level of loser) who I taught to play when everyone else I played with graduated and moved on to college. When they all graduated, I was 14.

Umm ya. thats a lot, I currently play a B/W suicide thrive.

Hey, my name is Nate and I've been playing since Exodus/6th edition, and became a more avid player around Mercadian Masques/Invasion/7th edition and one of my first tournies and competative play was when I was somewhere around 12 or 13 I think, it was around Onslaught cycle. I remember because I almost beat that nantuko husk+creature with pattern of rebirth+symbiotic wrum 20 damage combo.

I was a player up until fifth dawn, and then I fell off the map for reasons I can't remember. I came back around Ravnica, about 5 months before Guildpact and have been playing strong ever since.

I don't really have a preference to color, I think they all have their place, strength and weaknesses. I really tend to play according to my mood. If I want to see things burn and lay the smack down, I play red. I f I want to see things with and die on drain my opponents dry I play black. If I want to see my opponent squirm in frustration I play blue...you get the point.

One of my biggest point of pride is that I own the only big deck (300 cards minium(it's a casual format in my area)) with the colors blue/black/green.

I also own a set of decks based on the seven sins.
