MTG Cards....?

[pastee]

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone is invovled with Magic: The Gathering? What do you guys think about it? and if you like it, what's your favorite card?

 

1) I was.
2) It sucks now.
3) Counterspell.

I kinda play a little. I don't have one favorite card, but my deck rocks considering I put it together in 5 minutes. Creature destruction is really only weak to flame decks.

1. I played in sanctioned tourneys.
2. I don't anymore because WOTC took away all the timing rules that made most of my decks work.
3. In actual tournament use, Armageddon; in fun games, Mahamoti Djinn; in multiplayer, Mana Flare.

I had a sweet burn deck, and let us not forget channel fireball.

Did any of you watch the event held in Brusselles/Brussels, Belgium? They air'ed it on ESPN 2. I don't know anything about Magic: The Gathering but it was kind of cool to watch U.S. vs: Canada. I believe the U.S. won.

1. I was as well
2. blows big time now...sucks even more then pokemon (sorry my brothers are alot younger then me). too many new cards and new series. now, you don't even need creatures to win.
3. it must've been my 4 manaflares....fun watching people bust into heavy math just to calculate how much they should tap and then manaburn the crap outta themselves...

Oh hellz yeah! Mana flares are the shiznit! A big game w/ lots of peeps, and like 8 mana flares! Boy, does having a pumpable creature/fireball help!

I used to play back when MTG first came out. I believe the last expansion set I ever bought/played with was Mirage. From there, MTG just got too expensive and complicated. The rules constantly being changed, cards being banned. Far too much for this part-time player.

Come to think of it, I was a terrible player. The main reason I started collecting was because of the cool pictures. My friends thought I was crazy. But IMO, some of those artists rock, especially Mark Poole.

As for my favorite card, I'd have to say Vesuvian Dopelganger. Just because it was cool.

I used to play with some of my friends at school.
Don't play anymore.
Recently sold all of my cards (over 4,000) on fleabay.

Before I quit I got real big on Counterspell type cards (Counterspell, Force of Will, etc...)
