How Did You Get Into MtG?

[Vicadylan]

I'm completely new to this game.  I played for about six months when I was probably.... 12?  I've always wanted to get back into it (I'm now 26) but I've sort of run with a different crowd and never knew how to go about it.  None of my friends are willing to play, and it's hard for my socially awkward penguin self to find players with the patience to teach me.  Anyways, just wondering what your experience was with being introduced to Magic?

My friends taught me how to player school, oarticularly Kiki jiki and mister Herbert, the foil sorin kid. Got myself started with a red green artifact breaker set from besieged, and fell in love! Not in that way though. 

Learned from a group of friends, started off with a mono green infect deck near the end of Besieged

Me and a friend of mine were at another friend of mine house and he taught us how to play. About a month later i finally got into it now we have like a 7 man group that plays. We always play FFA or THG.

My uncle came up to me one day and asked if I played magic, and I said no, so he asked if I wanted to learn how. He gave me some of his spares and I made a blue/black deck with random stuff in it, and it actually didn't do too bad. After learning the basic rules, I went on to explore the vast world of MTG, and it's now my favorite game, ever. In the 7 months I've been playing, I feel like I've been in love my whole life <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I love this.  I don't know a damn thing about the game though.  I mean, I know the bare minimum but I don't know what a blue/black deck is or any of the other acronyms.  Hell, I don't even have a deck of my own right now!

I started playing mtg on my ps3. It's one of of best tutorials I've seen it show you the basic stuff you need and you get a better understanding of how the colors play. 👍

I've played through the tutorial you can download off the wizards website, but aside from the absolute basics it seems a bit lacking.  I don't have a ps3 or any other consoles .  I'm currently unemployed ao I had to sell them.  It hurts my soul just thinking about it.
