I'm older than dirt and was around before the Ice Age - back in an era where I actually tossed around an unprotected Chaos Orb and didn't know any better because Unlimited was the current set at the time.

Now trying to get back into it a decade later, I don't even know to play anymore.  You can't win with a doubly Unstable Mutated Flying Man in this day and age ... ;)

By "weren't around", you mean "didn't exist".

I have cards in decks that are older than some of you young pups. 🐢 Nothing wrong with that, I just think that's crazy! πŸŒ€

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.

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.

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

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.

I know what tempest is

Haha I meant if you weren't around when tempest was, you are just too young. Lol.

That is awful logic, I mean... When magic is still going and all the old players are retired the new players wouldnt have been around for Tempest. Tempest is pretty old. I started when Scars came out and I've been able to beat many old players.

I think what he means is that people who were born after Tempest (arbitrary expansion) being old enough to play makes him feel really old.

Likewise, I feel really old when I realize kids I used to watch in daycare are starting to graduate from college.

I'm older than dirt and was around before the Ice Age - back in an era where I actually tossed around an unprotected {Chaos Orb} and didn't know any better because Unlimited was the current set at the time.

Now trying to get back into it a decade later, I don't even know to play anymore.  You can't win with a doubly {Unstable Mutated Flying Man} in this day and age ... ;)

I think those were cards I didn't know, sorry. Just had to do that.

That's sick! I've always wanted to become a judge and when I was 7, I started for the exact same reason, the art. Back in the early days of magic, the art was so "dark" I was fascinated by it.

Yea! All I have to say is know the basic rules and ask questions if you don't know if something will work. That and don't be cocky.. I've played with too many people that are too focused on winning that they go overboard and become one of those players you avoid. Competition is good in like tourneys, but outside that remember that its a game for fun. ^.^ This has been a PSA from your friendly neighborhood spider man.

I'm 23

I started out playing Pokemon and Star Wars trading card games in my younger years and slowly stopped. I've always been more of a tabletop board game, video/PC kind of gamer.

Earlier this year I was introduced to MTG and I didn't like it at first but after really learning the mechanics of the game and the ins and outs of cards I fell in love. I've been playing ever since and my card collection is forever expanding and changing.

So I guess you can say I'm a bit late to the party but I'm glad I came :)

I'm 19, but have only been playing for about a year. When i was young, i decided that it wasn't as cool as Yu-Gi-Oh, so didn't play. Quit Yu-Gi-Oh in the seventh grade, and quit playing card games, dueto being in football and wrestling, and not wanting to seem like a nerd. Senior year, my buddy taught me to play, because he needed someone to practice against so that he would get better, and i loved it! (and i'm now massively better than him at it.)

I'm 28 and was very late to the party. Only started playing during Innistrad. When I went to school I picked the Pokemon and DBZ trading card games as I couldn't afford all of them, and those are ones my friends were also interested in. If only I had more sense back then ....

I personally am an old man in the group at 34. I played a very little bit in high school in 94'. I was reawaken during rtr when I bought a battle pack for me and my daughter to mess around with. Now my collection is overtaking my bedroom while my lovely girlfriend tries to contain it like its an ooze, slowly eating the room (obviously I continuously feed the monster to keep it healthy).

19. Started in scars competitively and played through current. Was decent back in scars. A lot of rules and learning but became really good in RtR and innistrad. Now in theros block have people coming to me asking for deck advice and play testing and what not. I feel very accomplished. I can't wait to see the next level. Gotta keep pushing.
