Wondering what all our iMtG users play in terms of game types...
With my friends, it's basically vintage, but all my decks are standard, due to getting into Magic in the scars block. For obvious reasons I also play Standard too. :-P
I've recently gotten into Commander though, since most the guys at the local shop play it, and I've found it very fun, especially the 5-6 player free for alls :-)
So what game type's got you hooked right now?
So what's got you int
My friends and I play a lot of EDH and Two-headed Giant with shared mana for extra carnage. But comp wise I LOVE standard, especially during Scars! (I have a W/R purely Mirren, anti infect, equipment and token factory deck that pissed people off that thought they had the game won with infect ramp ... That being said, I also have afew different infect decks too, lol) I just loved the whole choose a faction concept, hope the concept is used again one day (more than just playing white/humans in Innistrad).
Bump gor reasons of awesomeness.
Oh you just gunna bump something and not contribute? Is that what's hot in the streets?
I've been playing legacy a lot with my intro to legacy deck, and tons of casual. Used to be nothing but standard but I find standard quite boring.
I've got a love for modern. I'm slowly trying to get back into standard for some LGS stiff, but damn standard sucks :(. I'd love to get into legacy, but I haven't been playing long enough to have the older cards or the ability to know how to build a legacy deck. There are just so many options in legacy

Legacy can definitely be overwhelming. That's why I just went with a tried and true UB reanimator build. Just a sorta meat and potatoes deck that is straight forward and hard to mess up, but its a ton of fun. Ill always keep a standard deck for FNM but I won't have as much vested into it as I would my other decks.
Played originally with revised/4th so I have 4 vintage decks
Also have edh decks as my lady who perked my Geeking into MTG showed me this play method
Planes chase is fun too every once Ina. While
Bought a box of gatecrash so I can have a single cycle of standard, I'll possibly buy a box of rtr and dragons maze to complete that cycle, maybe grab one of the next core set to explore standard play and maybe start doing some FNM
I play everything. Broad and wide open. Love legacy though. Casual legacy really.
I love commander so much.
Looking to play legacy, but can't decide what deck i want to build. Mostly collecting for now.
EDH for life... By far my favorite format.
Legacy and edh.
Standrd, EDH, modern, draft, sealed and planechase,
Modern. Most of the rules and cheaty cards are ironed out and there is a huge bank of cards fri which to draw. I also enjoy planeschase.
I've been playing Standard for years now, and to be honest it's getting a little tired. Recently I've been dipping into Modern and absolutely loving it. I would love to start playing EDH, just haven't found the group for it. My friends primarily concentrate on Standard.
Legacy and EDH.
Legacy will never die for me, because I have the dual lands I need. My playgroup is Legacy based, we tried Standard - but I just outspent everyone and they didn't see the point.
EDH is a lot of fun if you play with good people. If someone is too competitive, it can take a lot of fun out of it. But most of the time it's just great. Every hand is different, every game is fun. Wizards doesn't tell you what you can and cannot play, they don't dictate the environment like they do standard.
Both formats are more expensive then Standard, for sure, but your EDH deck takes on your personality, the cards in the deck are close to you. Legacy is just more fun IMO, and more healthy. There are thousands of competitive archtypes in Legacy, and each match is intense.
Modern and EDH. Also recently we have all built casual noob deck to teach my brothers gf to play, and its actually really fun because the decks are so evenly matched.
The best way to describe how my group plays is: Casual Legacy. No card if off limits. You can play un-cards, banned cards, 4x restricted cards. As a general rule, we don't net deck. We use it as a chance to be creative.

Mike you get +1 I burst out laughing when I read is that what's hot in the street.
I started out just playing casual, but me and my friend are getting into standard and hopefully we will start entering FNMs and taking home some prizes. We've been working on the same decks going on 2 months now and I'd really like to see a payout soon.

At times when you lose, the most important aspect is what you learned from the loss. Just something to keep in mind once you start playing competitively.
With that said, best of luck to you and your friend both.
Edh and casual
Standard, I also take standard deck to modern fnm
I play standard. Standard is fun for me, I love the competition and the ever-changig enviornment! One month an archtype dominates, a few months later it doesn't even exist! Pretty cool.
I want toget into EDH and build a group hug deck based on {Phelddagrif}.
I love R/G, so I play aggro... When I first started playing back in the 90's before I took a 10 year break, I played a RUB control deck, with land destruction, counters, direct damage and only 6 creatures, 2 {Demonic Hordes}, 2 {Sol'kanar the Swamp King}, and 2 {Nicol Bolas} as my wincon
