How you started to play magic

[Baneslayer]

I remember that my friend played magic and I was interested because of the pictures so I asked him to bring his decks over so we could play the first duel of many...

My dad had big boxes of cards in our basement. At some point he got them out and showed me half an hr later I'm on my first game. Ta-da!

My friend showed my and had me watch and learn, against my sisters wishes

My babysitter taught me. I was like "hell no!!! This is soooo nerdy!" Now look at me now, super nerd! (not only mtg)

I learned at summer camp

I was chilling with my friend and he had some Mirrodin precons sitting on the table and I asked him what it was, and he said wanna play? I played Yu-Gi-Oh when I was younger so I said sure. He did a real trial by fire, whooped my ass about 4 times then I finally got the hang of it and lost a little more valiantly. After that I was addicted. Magic. Not even once. Lol

 A buddy of mine brought his to school one day and I was hooked, still have the first 4th Edition box I bought...

Mate at college, was playing at lunch and I ask what it was, and he told me, and asked which color I liked, I sad black, so he gave me loads of black cards to play with never looked back since lol

My sisters bf played, and he had a few casual decks. One night he asked if I could help him test a deck and I said sure if he would teach me. I know now more about the rules than he ever might have, he played terribly so that he always won, changing rules to favor him. Since my sister dumped him I actually bought my own cards, and I've been playing since AVR

My friends, my brother, and I have always been into nerd gaming. We'd been dorking it up with D&D and video games since we were about 12. Nowin our late 20's, we aren't able to get together as often and do such detailed and planned-out gatherings like d&d anymore, and my brother stumbled upon magic somehow. He introduced me and our friends to mtg knowing it was up out alley, and better fit out play-and-go, no-planning-neccessary "grown-up" (If you can really call is that) lifestyle.

Nice! So you guys are more or less the original intended audience for Magic.

I've been wanting to get into D&D so bad, but lack the time. Two of my bandmates play it and it sounds amazing.

It is a lot of fun, but it's so time consuming. But just like mtg, when you play with the right friends, hilarity ensues.

So many innocent peasants have been wronged...
