Anyone want my cards?

[MasteroftheCraft]

I feel old for a 17 year old, i havent won a MTG game for a few years now, and i dont understand the new-age stuff. Hell, i barely understand half the crap posted on this forum. So i think its time i hang up my belt and get outta Dodge.

Me, but I'm 19 and don't win a lot. You could always just play for fun

[MasteroftheCraft]

Not when it never IS fun! Nowadays, i can only stand playing a person i know for a few rounds, andi just scoop, because i know i wont win. Know how i tell? Because they ask for money and get it, without workinh for it, and go buy the latest cards. (sigh) too many people have forgotten the old things & ways that i feel obsilete...
Im like an old dog: take me out back, and put me out of my misery.

Yeah I hate when people tell there parents to buy them cards. There is this young teenager at my card shop whose "cheap deck" cost him around $300

[MasteroftheCraft]

The most i have ever spent on a deck was around $50, abd it cost me almost all of my birthday money. I still lose... Im feeling very sad now...

[Clearmario]

There is a super cheap elf deck that made top 4 at game day. The most expensive card was like 2 dollars. I'll list the cards I saw if you wanted to try it out and try playing again

You know, if it's about the money, I've taken down some pretty big budget decks decks with pauper/cheap RWD and elves and stuff.  You can make winning decks on a budget if that's important to you.  I like to have a deck or two to pull out an stomp tha yard when the mood strikes, but for the most part I don't really care about winning.

Multiplayer might be a little different since your odds of winning go down.  But just take a deep breath and ask what it is about magic that you like.  Deck building, combos, getting together with friends, big splashy monsters, winning at all costs.  There are so many ways to have fun in this game, to each their own.

Man, i remembr when i started...
Had just gotten a ton of Invasion cycle cards, and Rav. was just being relesed... Gods, the simpler times...
And then they took MtG and, pardon the expression, RAPED IT UP THE ASS!!!
...and now its not as fun to me anymore.

Budget delivers work great

[MasteroftheCraft]

I thought about it, and ive desided to hold on for a while longer. Thank you all so your support in a moment of my ocational deppression... An if i could i would give you +1 Karma. I may ask Jester if he can for me. thanks to you all.

Hang in there bro. This can be an insanely expensive hobby. But don't let it get ya down. Check out the "building on a budget" articles on the MTG daily WoTC site. Always some good stuff in there. The only advice I have, try a multiplayer variant, like EDH. No sanctioned tourneys or anything, but the card pool is huge, and many good times to be had! Standard is redonk to keep up with!

Its nit that im poor (i am somewhat), its the fact that its all ABOUT the $$ to some people. They seem to have no love or respect fir the game, playing just to shiw off and act like asswipes.

Ah I know those people. Simplying buying the top net decks and showing up at FNM's and being all arrogant about. Hate that.

[Greg54js]

Dude you know what I love? The people who buy those netdecks a few days before fnm then get murdered because they have no clue how to play the deck the just spent 300 freaking dollars on. It just makes my night 

Well to answer the question of the topic, I'd love to have your cards.
