I’ve played Magic on and off since revised edition, right after Arabian Nights. Sooo, I guess on and off for 20 years or so. My younger brothers and I grew up playing it with each other. I went to college and didn’t really have enough cash to keep the hobby up, but now that I’m an adult it’s something I still love to do when I have time. I’ve attempted to play at some local comic shops and while people are always nice it’s always way too competitive and I always get destroyed. My all time favorite sets are very old school, Ice Age and Homelands. Of the newer stuff I got into Innistrad and Avacyn Restored fairly heavily. I bought a lot of Theros packs last year but didn’t really have time to build a deck I really loved.

Its pretty similar in concept. Pick up a starter set and a precon, or play magic online. If you play hearthstone, its VERY similar.

I currently have a green white token deck, and I am making a green black self-mill deck, based around lord of extinction. In the green black I am also playing vraska the unseen, so i have two win strategies from it.

I play a Modern deck right now (7th edition and up). I run a Goblin Death Raider Red/Black Weenie buff style deck. Nothing costs above 3 converted mana individually, so it gets going fairly quickly.

my green white has an amazing mana ramp, so that by turn three, I can play something like wolfir silver heart, and then the turn after drop a bow of nylea, then probably a centaur healer

by turn 5/6 I have just the one GDR but buffed with Fists of the Demigod and Bone Saws if Im in the mood. xD It’s just a jank deck really. lol. I used to have the green in there JUST for ramping but it came out betteer to throw in other red enchantments and such.

I love red burn decks. I have one and it’s one of my fav decks. We have tons of decks like that (ie: not tournament legal decks) that are very fun to play. I have an Auroch deck that also gets a lot of play time just for hilarity’s sake.
