Magic: The Gathering

Hello,
So who out there plays MTG? I play it almost obsessively, and have recently started getting more competitive. I'm actually putting together a fairly competitive and cheap Green/Blue infect deck that can win on turn 2.
Spoiler
For
How to win on turn 2
:
God hand: Two forests, one Glistener Elf, two Giant Growth, two Mutagenic Growth
Turn one: Drop a forest, Glistener Elf
Turn two: Drop 2nd forest, declare Glistener Elf as attacking. If they don't choose to block (they probably won't), tap both forests and lose 4 life to play the instants and deal 10 infect damage
My other decks include:
Blue/White Shape Anew (rip a Blightsteel Collosus turn 4)
Red Goblins
Blue/White/Black Sen Triplets EDH
Red/White Razia, Boros Archangel EDH
As well as various decks that float in and out of being used. I typically don't keep a deck in its assembled state for very long, and disassemble them quite often.

I DO! I have a few decks actually. Unfortunetly, I do happen to like yugioh much more, so my MTG skills/collection is not exactly up to par >.> (I have, perhaps, 500 mtg cards, and a few thousand ygo cards....)
My MTG decks are
1. Dark Deck
2. Light Deck
3. Forest Deck
and
5. Multi-attribute deck.
(I did have a fire/water deck... I wonder what happened to it....)

That game is pretty popular where I live, more than most other trading card games. I do not play, unfortunately, but I would like to.

I used to play Magic, but that was quite some time ago. I wouldn't mind playing online for fun though.
Also played Yu-gi-oh for ages. Still have a fuckton of those cards, but I don't use them at all anymore.

I play super obsessively, and I'm going to a tournament tonight, too. I can't stand Yu-Gi-Oh, though. In my town, it's Magic all the way. If anyone wants to chat Magic, hit me up on IRC, I love the game.

Yu-gi oh was epic during 2 year of play for a bunch of people, because it was easier to learn than Magic, but it gets boring afterward, from what I gather. I think it's barely popular anymore now too, which goes to show that Magic still rules all, despite being complicated for some people who are used to HP, atk and def with nothing else.

Magic has only recently become more complex. Yu-Gi-Oh is actually based on Magic. In Magic, you keep track of your life total (kinda like hp) and creatures have power and toughness (kinda like attack and defense). Most people can pick it up in an hour.

I have played Magic but never really gotten seriously into it. I do have a massive yugioh collection though and have even gotten back into playing a bit more recently

I like Magic a lot, I just don't have the money for it. Once I spent $60, I stopped, so I only have one weak, blue deck.

Well, actually I first tried Magic around 2003 I think and couldn't get used to it and all the icons, plus the large amount of different cards. On the other hand, I felt Magic was more complete than YuGiOh. Yu Gi Oh was simple back then (it got a bit more complicated now with all those effect monsters), but after a few games it became redundant. Not that I,m much into TCG, though, I just remember my bro went to yu Gi Oh tournament every 2 week back in 2005-07.
One thing that held me back from playing such games much was the expensive cards and how richer people or people who steal cards had an advantage because of this. The other thing was how luck-based it was, too.

DJ_O, I completely understand the money issue. I have put about $1000 into Magic, but my collection is worth at least $4000, and my winnings from tournaments total a few hundred dollars. It can be a profitable game. Ztrumpet: blue/white control decks are pretty strong right now, you should try putting some white in there.

Ouch. If I wanted to, right now I could shell away such amount fine, but I just don't want to, because I still feel it's too much, and would rather just buy a bunch of computer games for $30-60 each. And back when Yu gi oh was popular I really didn't have this money.
As for wins, in my bro's case, I think it was like $100 max, but he always finished 2nd so it was like $10. I think he had to pay to participate each time so it wasn't much X.x. But yeah I think he spent like $3000 in cards and ended up with thousands of weak, cheap cards because he usually bought rare cards from boosters. I think he has like 5 blue eyes white dragons and for weak cards he got like 10 of each kind sometiems.

Ouch. I usually find it easy to move cards around, though, so I can get rid of the bad ones pretty quick.

I've never played Magic, but a few of my friends have.
Perhaps I should look into it, the only TCG I've ever played is Pokemon.

You would enjoy it. Magic is the original TCG, all the rest are based on it.
