I want to know about the other mtg players out there, age? What do you do for work? Married?
I'm 25 and just getting back into mtg, I work at a bank, and my girlfriend is already with holding sex because she doesn't like the idea of me playing again.
What about you?
17, Junior in HS, been playing MTG almost a year, not married. I work at a museum in my hometown and enjoy it. Looking forward to the future and I'm hoping to go to Vanderbilt Univ or Hanover College after I graduate.
Im 24, married, substitute teacher and part time bike builder. My wife has had the flu for a week and a half, causing us to not be able to be....intimate. Which is torture for a 24 year old. Started playing MtG at 12 and stopped around the time of Mirrodin (original.) Started playing again in June and love it even more than I did when i first played years ago.

I understand torture. My girlfriend is one of those ass for days situations 😫 but I love my deck building nights too
I'm 24, married, and have a 1 year old daughter. Been playing magic a little over a year. I work at a plastic manufacturing plant. With the family and long hours at work I take advantage of mtg time :) My wife doesn't play magic but supports me in it. My daughter love magic cards. They taste great to her haha. She hasn't eaten any good cards though :P
16, been playing for 10 years now, mostly collected as a kid when Mirrodin kicked off. Only started getting into the competitive game a few years ago, people at my bad LGS know me for my unique deck brews and unorthodox play-style. :D
I'm in highschool, exams are going on this week which sucks.
I'm Irish and I fence for Ireland, but I live in the US. That's about it, really.
I'm 33, married going on 10 years, 2 kids, currently finishing an advanced degree in Medical Science. Started playing Magic in Alpha, quit around Weatherlight, sold all my cards for a song (song compared to current value and even for then), started up again casually around Scars block. My wife doesn't get mad about me playing or "withholding". :) Yep, life is good.
I'm 24, not married. Kinda worried now that all the other people on here are married that are my age. Lmao. I'm a special education teacher for 8th grade in Brooklyn NY. I have a girlfriend for over 3 years and hopefully plan to put a ring on her finger in the next year or so. I am competitive amongst my friends when it comes to MTG but never play at LGS or tournaments. I'm a home brew deck player and mostly build theme decks. Don't care much if they win, as long as the strategy or purpose of the deck works. At one point, I had over 50+ decks but have slowly taken them apart. Unfortunately, my crazy imagination is never ending so I have gotten back up to about 30 decks. My girlfriend doesn't support magic ie buying me stuff, but she realizes that it's part of my life and doesn't bug me about it. And she can't really withhold what isn't there ( we want to wait til marriage). Though I do buy alot of cards, I am more of a surprise person so I don't buy playsets, I'm boosters all the way. Always have been. Always will be. My first starting set was torment or apocalypse. Can't remember which one because at that time, I only bought the cards because they looked bad ass.
My wife didnt like it at first. I had to explain it to her that its basically Narnia or LotR in card form (shes a huge fan of both) and that its not going to cause me to turn into a devil worshipper or anything like that. My lunatic brother-in-law, on the other hand, thinks im going to hell because of it.
Haha ya man. I've done it before with an ex girlfriend but decided to take that route now with my current girlfriend. Not gunna lie, it's tough but it honestly makes a better relationship bc it isn't hanging over us that we need/want to when we are together.

Does she support it now? Hoping my gf will come around
I'm 15, 16 on March 26 :D I've been playing magic for about 6-8 months, it all started when my best friends brother got kicked out and we found his old cards. I'm a sophmore in High school and I'm not married, however My girlfriend and I will be celebrating our 2 year anniversary on April 30th(: she is cool with my nerdiness, she claims it turns her on so all the more reason to love magic! Yes we have had sex, we waited until after our 1 year however. I plan on going to MMI or MIA for graphic or video game design, however I think it would amazing to design magic cards. Yeah that's me... Oh and I used to play baseball until I threw out my shoulder... :P

Once I put it into perspective for her, she started to support it. I asked her if shed rather me play Magic, or hang out in bars all the time like all my friends or her friebd's husbands. She was even willing to learn it so we'd have something else to do together, but it didnt interest her. But she tried and that meant a lot to me.

If she at least tried then I'd say she's a keeper.
I'm 17, I play lacrosse. Started playing magic 6-7 months ago. I first heard about magic from collecting baseball cards (which I now no longer do:)) I have never had a girl friend, not because I play magic, but mostly because I have so much school and such that I just don't care. Still living the free life😎

There is wisdom in youth after all!
14 lh middle school. Not working but over the summer I'm gonna maybe be a trainee for Dairy Queen. Started playin when return o ravnica came out. I love the game but none of my brothers are gamers so :( but I love to trade just to see all the cards there are in magic!!! If someone would like to trade I usually would like for you I send first but once I get the cards I send em right away :)
26. I work at a library as a page. I got back into the game because I wanted another outlet for my creativity. I'm also writing a book.
29, police officer, and I have been playing magic on and off since '93 when the game came out, all my friends think I'm nuts for actually playing a deck comprised of alpha an beta cards, but I like the nostalgia, other than that been in the military for over a decade.
13 in 2 days, in middle school. started playing magic during scars of mirrodin, stopped for a year, and started again during dark ascension. i didn't start competitive play until m13.
31, male, Australia and single.
I moved away from the town where all my friends are for work, so I'm still single with not many prospects. Lol
I work for HP doing field services IT stuff.
Started playing casually in 2010 and only started competitive play in late 2011. It's actually quite expensive to buy cards here so the play groups aren't huge. I live in a large regional town and there is only one Fnm place. We usually get between 8 and 15 people. Pre-releases usually bring a few more.
28 married no kids been playin off and on since I was in 6th grade even tried my hand at warhammer for a bit but got to expensive
My wife dosent mind she even plays sometimes just wish she would make her own decks
34 married for 12 years, 3 kids. I'm the Technical Director for a regional theatre in Canada. Started playing in 1993, stopped in '96 picked it up again when Innistrad came out. Mostly play with the 3 other people who I work with that play. I am usually working Friday nights so no FNM for me. Occasionally get together for multiplayer games of up to seven. Usually play casual but keep my decks close to or standard so I can go to FNM on the off chance I get a Friday off. My wife is very supportive of my geek habits and I support her quilting. She's also a comic collector so she kinda gets the geek thing.
I am 31 just started playing magic last July thanks to my son. I am in the Army, and as far as how my wife goes she makes fun of me all the time and doesn't let me buy nearly as many cards that I want to

Thank you for your service!
I'm 25 years old, been married for four. We have a seven month old baby girl. Collected magic cards when I was a kid, started collecting again recently and just got into playing. My wife fully supports my hobby, it's a lot cheaper then modifying cars. She even buys me booster packs every trip to Walmart. I'm an automotive tech for Chrysler and I live in Tallahassee fl
21, in college. Gf of 3 years thinks it's pretty nerdy, but tried playing with me- I taught her the rules and she even built an angel deck. (taking all my white mythics in the process, ha!)
I play casually and really enjoy the collecting aspect in addition almost always buying boosters for the luck factor. I started at Eldrazi, after years of watching my friends play it.
13 boy, doing fine in school. Single (Thank god!). Been playing since innistrad and loved it. But cant seem to stick to a deck so if anyone has a solution to stop that somehow id love to hear
13, well a week
Ago I was
Single, it's been
Cinda hard to focus on magic ever
Since. Anyway, I've been constantly getting first at fnm.

Lax life! Im 17 too man hell ya, good to see a fellow bro
18 in a few days and I just graduated high school. Now on to bigger and better. Oh, and responsibilities and stuff. I've been working with my dad in our lawncare business. Basically, the duplexes on our street look like so we started a lawn care business and tried to make the place look better. And of course we are doing more properties now. However, that's not a horribly dependable income, so I'll be looking for a part time job soon.
Been single for a couple years now, and really not minding it. Went to a small school and quickly realized that many of the girls there were two faced and not worth the time. Or just flat out stupid :P.
I started magic just a little after the release of RoE, but just started playing competitively in the last 6 months or so. Haven't really found my niche decktype yet, so I'm generally building several decks at a time, and never finishing any of them lol.
Oh, and apparently I like to talk about myself on forums :P
I'm 34 been playing magic since 1996. But gave it up for about 8 years after kima block. And started again afte dark ascension came out. Was happily married till last month when it turns out my wife is a slut So now I'm moved out of our house and she has the dingleberry from Cali out here now and I'm an idiot and still hook up with her even though he's here and they are "so in love". Well better to know she would cheat on him with me then to be blind take her back and have her do it to me again
15, sophomore in high school, starting to drive soon (•^• scary), been playing magic for a few months now, my family knows I play my nerdy card game, but they don't care enough to inspect the cards and such. I play video games a good bit as well.
14 in high school. I'm really athletic and only play mtg when I'm injured and can't practice soccer. (Currently). I'm currently single due to a lack of attractive or intelligent females in my grade. (Edit: in most of my school) ;)
I'm single due to my lack of attractiveness, not intelligence.
I'm 19, going for a degree in journalism, I'm single, I've been playing magic for about a year now, and I love it. However I don't have too much time to play between playing competitive tennis and studying.
I'm 24, just got back to school for a psychology degree, and just transitioned jobs(trying out insurance sales). My girlfriend doesn't like that I play magic, but more because of the fact that my attention is off of her when I'm focusing in the game. I can't hate on her though, she at least tried to learn even if she disliked it!
I'm still 13..., I made my girl friend a pretty nasty boros deck(I'm looking at
U 4 rekoners and 2 Aurealia's) today we went on our second date,
I'm leaving to go to Belize on Friday ill be gon for 5 days and when I get
Back I can hopefully see her.

I'm 27, female. Engaged to the love of my life, Noah (user: imthelolrus). We have a two and a half year old son named Sebastien. I work as a marketing director for quick service restaurant chains. I've been playing magic for about 5 years now (I think). Noah is the one who taught me how to play. :)
I am thirteen, turnin fourteen in 17 days.
I am dating someone who is a former close friend for many years.
I do yardwork for the neighbors, get payed a little.
On my birthday I will have played magic for three years.
I'm 20 and married. I am currently unemployed, but my husband just got a job for the local school district. We live with his parents currently which is horrible because there are six people, seven when his sister is mad at her roommates, and a dog living in this three bedroom house. We want to move from the Dallas area to either Roswell or Charleston, but without money, neither is falling into place. My parents don't speak to me because my husband and I eloped, but my sister is talking to me finally. I want to go back to college an finish my degree, but again no money. I was introduced to magic by my college buddies, but I didn't start playing until RTR.

15 sophomore in highschool Northeast Ohio who has been playing magic for about 2-4 months. Started during my third term in school because everyone at my school does and I wanted to make some friends after having just switched schools this year (they try to play magic I should say ;). They don't understand the more intricate mechanics as some of you know from my posts but it gives us stuff to do during free periods and lunch) I'm single but it's highschool so whatever. I mostly play video games (Zelda and any great adventures are A OK in my book) but Magic brings back all the nostalgia of growing up in a Yu-Gi-Oh! Household and introduces me to something more fun although Yu-Gi-Oh! Will always be there ;). With the added bonus of now having an awesome supportive community to help me get on my feet so to speak play wise. I love this app and spend about 2-3 hours total on it a day with constant checking for updated posts and such. Love the people who play magic and everyone who's out there helping the newer players. Now thanks for sitting through this long post! Thank you everyone!
16 year old sophomore almost junior 5 days until grad, live in western New York, single, been playing magic for a year. Within the past school year played magic at lunch for about 170 out of 180 days

NOBODY trade with {all-mana-mania} without HIM sending first. He is a kid who scammed many many people in the past. He did reconcile most people, but now he is saying that he wants others to send to him first. Sounds like he is up to no good again.

I started playing between gatecrash and m14, so fairly newish kinda. Looking forward to more great years playing magic.

I've learned if you try looking you'll never get one sadly.
I gave up looking and a few weeks later met my fiancée :3 funny enough it was at Perkins restaraunt when we both worked there. Lol
I've been playing since 7th/odyssey. I love mtg and will play for another 60 years lol. I might be 81 but I'll still be playing
