I've been steeping myself in Magic for the last few days, just devouring articles and decklists. I'm a casual player, but I like having good decks (

richman1's decks, or

evildennis's decks come to mind), so as I'm returning to the game, I'm trying to re-teach myself what makes a good deck -- or perhaps just teach myself; I'm not sure I ever quite got it in my earlier periods of playing the game. Trying to play the game on a tight budget doesn't help, but through trading/selling off older games (bye-bye, Warlord), I can fill out my Magic collection nicely.

It's funny how we keep going back to the classics. First, I played Magic (actually, I played Spellfire first, but I don't count that), then Rage (and I still have a bunch of Rage cards that I need to have

hidaman sort), then L5R, then Warlord... and now, I come back full circle. I think the fact that Magic is still going strong after all these years gives me a sense of stability -- other games and other companies have come and gone, but the 800 lb. gorilla is still around.

Magic Online, on the other hand? Playing online would be cool. Having to buy virtual cards, when I can barely afford real ones, is not.

I bet Apprentice 32 is still in circulation for MTG. It's like playing MTGO but you don't have to collect virtual cards. You can build any deck you want. Just an idea!

Don't forget we actually met each other through a game of Magic. *grin*

And truthfully I don't think my decks are really great, but they're crazy and fun. And they make Dan's head'a'splode.

Now Richard, he's the one to model if you want a tournament style deck. He's the king of combos while I'm just the king of comedy. *grin*
