Like sporx I used to play it all of the time. It became semi popular a few years back with the 'geeks' at my High School so I tried to sell them my cards. I never did remember to bring them in and show them. ------------- http://imageshack.us - [IMG - http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/857/sig9ac6cs1mj.jpg - |

Man... I don't know how many people I've made people hate me because of
that game... I still have a few of my Decks, and I still think I have a
medal I won due to that game... Man that Zombie Deck was ruthless....

its sad that i can still remember this... but i had an awesome
white-green deck that basically revolved around cards that gave me mana
to summon huge creatures... and cards that just made them bigger and
better... best combo i had was force of nature w/ a couple cards on it that for every damage it dealt i gained a life, so that when i didn't tap mana for it and it dealt 8 damage to me every turn, i'd gain it right back and more depending on how many of em i had on it. i could gain up to 24 life a turn if i had 4 of em on it. |

I "retired" my Zombie Deck in my old Hobbie store because people were
sick of loosing to it, and It was placed in a little plexiglass holder
thing... kind of lame, but it was sad watching it being put away. I still my Zombie Deck was bassed off of like 5 combonations, but when I used one that thing would completly shatter ther other peoples life points. The only Deck it has EVER lose to was a Squirrel Deck, those things were friggin annoying.

Good lord, if you ever collected all of these you'd have to be freakin rich. I still play magic. My best deck is a white/blue deck with tons of wizards and cards that let me take other people's big creatures. If the card didn't take away your favorite creature it allowed me to keep you from attacking with it. The majority of my creatures were flying. My second best deck is an artifact deck.

I dont get to play as much as I used to usually just with a couple friends at houses now
magic the gathering doesnt require you to collect them all lol infact alot of the good cards arent even expensive My burn deck is worth about $30 and owns everytime I play it with friends or at this one store -------------

I was lucky when it came to Magic. My dad's best friend had owned a Magic card shop. After he closed his business all of his cards were in his basement just sitting there. So I got to pick out whatever I needed out of 40,000 cards. So i pwnd many.
I dislike blue with a passion. I liked blue, red, and green the most. Gosh I feel like a nerd cuz all of it is coming back to me know. -------------

bunches upon bunches. The entire Magic: The Gathering series has been in existence since the early 90s, and about 400-500 cards come out each year. I care to know this because I am one of the nerds who collect them, and I used to own people at the local card shop before I moved. Oh, and I play with a white/green deck with a few equipment cards thrown in. Still can't find anything that beat my blue/artifact combo that makes a player remove their library from the game. My friends stopped playing with me for that one. ------------- ProCarbine 16" Dye Ultralite Egg II R/T Double Trigger Red Dye Grips Remote Line Autococker as a backup w/6 piece J&J kit, eclipse ram, Worr Frame. |

I used to play a ton back in the day... I've got most of the Fallen Empires series and quite alot of the Ice Age set. I used to play white/green and black decks a bunch.

I used to play a ton. Unglued set was awesome, I had a deck thats only purpose was to screw everyone else up in a 2+ person game, until they finally got so mad they would kill me. When that thing was in full force, people were having to discard cards left and right, redraw their entire hand each turn, all sorts of insanity. -------------

My wife was just wondering what it was about last week while we were in the game shop, and I told her a bit about it. She wanted to get some cards and we've been playing for the past several nights.
I hadn't played since the mid-90's, and it's still pretty much the same. -------------

Yeah, for real. It gives me an advantage because hardly anyone plays with enchantments anymore except me and a few others so no one has any destroy enchantment cards in their decks.

We got the basic set, which has a fair number of spells and enchantments in it for its deck size I thought, and we got some spells and enchantments in the booster packs we got also. We only have a couple of artifact creatures each. She likes the white deck, and I'm torn between my red/green and black decks. So yeah, it feels pretty much the same as back then. -------------

I tried out my wife's white deck against her friend's blue deck, and at one point I had 44 life. Her friend would have stomped me if it weren't for the life spells. I couldn't keep much in play that could compete with her fliers, and she had a spell to unsummon my most powerful creature, an Angel with vigilance and flying.
Most of the artifact creatures and items that I got weren't anything I'd care to use. I've got some +4/+2 gauntlets and a golem, and that's it I think. Oh, and an artifact land that behaves exactly like a forest. I picked it because it's shiny. -------------

Ya the angels are awesome. I have all the voices and binded them

Like I said, it's hard to get the stuff out that you want to bind it all
together. It takes a while but when it all comes together I say WATCH OUT! My bad. I thought you were wanting to buy a card. Since your asking someone to give it to you...ok I'm sorry. -------------
