Started around the original Mirroden and was my second year of middle school. Played through Kamigawa. Left after I graduated middle school, which was roughly the original Ravnica. Started again during Scars of Mirroden, but mainly bought into the Innistrad block. Now I'm actually around for (Return to) Ravnica, lol. Now 20 years.
Huh, I thought I already posted my age on here, but I guess not! I'm 17 and I started about 3 (maybe? ) years ago. Maybe 2. Idk. Whenever Zendikar and Rise of the Eldrazi were in standard
I started collecting pokemon cards when it first came out, then evetually moved into yugioh, collected then played conpetively for a year and sucked quit an sold out all my yugioh and got into this card game called duel masters, played conpetitively and did well untill the game died out and i quit all card games till my friends got me into magic when i was 18 and started playing when zendikar came out and now im 20 and kicking ash in every format but legacy lol
Ditto with me, started Pokemon when I was little, moreso just collecting the cards
Moved onto yugioh when it got popular 12 years ago, got bored started playing duel masters andDeagonball Z TCG (most epic card game ever was sad to see them make the new Dbz TCG then went out of business) then got into skateboarding for 10+ years now that I don't have enough time for skate comps and the such with work and all I play magic and video games haha
Edit: I'm 20 yrs young now

Started in 1995 at the tail end of revised. Revised starter decks were $20 when I started and the "new" 4th edition was only $10. Limited funds as a 13 year old meant I missed out on dual lands. Packs of Legends were $10 so I bought chronicles, mistake 2. Then I played until Exodus came out and quit until finding Magic online in 2005. I'm 30 now, I still have all my original cards and have spent $3,000 in the last few months getting my paper collection back up to snuff. My wife is embarrassed that I play it but I'll be damned if it ain't the finest game ever made.
This is about the summation of my magic career ... to include the part about the wife being embarrassed. She has come around and does not complain about it anymore but I have slowed down a bit too ... give and take, remember that when you youngins get old like us. I am now looking foward to my son learning to play but he is only 4. My 11 year old daughter sparked a little interest but not enough to take it up yet ... we will see but I do not think it fits her personality if that makes sense.
31 and started back up after I found the first Duels of the Planeswalkers
New to the forum. It's nice to see that I'm not the only married guy in my 30's playing. Played from revised through homeland, picked back up at judgement until kamigawa, and started buying packs again on and off at m11. I went down to the lgs and played in the rtr prerelease now I'm hooked.
With all this talk of who is youngest can we older ones get some love? Who is the oldest on the forum? I will start. 45 and just started eight weeks ago.
Learned to play at 6 yrs! on and off been playing since now (10 yrs later) but only in the past few months starting to collect and learn about the whole of MTG. All of the time before was just random casual play.
