Magic the Gathering Online

Does anyone play this? I used to play back in the day and this looks like it might be fun....God I'm a nerd.

[LuckayLuck]

don't worry about it, MTGO is for cool people
yeah, I used to play very heavily

[LuckayLuck]

I probably made more money on MTGO than on poker. lollerments

I quit playing live shortly after I completed my Fallen Empires set, early in Homelands if that tells you much.

I've dabbled online a couple times since (on GCCG), but nobody plays the old cards and old rules anymore so I tend to drop off quickly.

Though POG people just might be able to drag me back in, heh.

[LuckayLuck]

yeah, current standard is hella hard...lots of 50/50 60/40 matchups. (I'm a tournament player!) so...it's troublesome. That's why I'm playing warcraft3 now I guess :P

I never got into online that seriously, but it's pretty good. MTGO V3 comes out relatively soon; it should improve tournaments, draft queues, trading, stability, leagues eventually, etc etc.
I'd play online more if I had the time/money.

I used to play the paper game years ago, probably stopped around '95 or '96. I picked up MTGO last year and enjoyed it for months, but I decided there were plenty of other things I'd rather spend my time/money on than online Magic. Still, if you enjoy the game you'll probably like the online version. The only thing I dislike about the online game is the mechanical way you have to go through some of the steps. The paper game is soooo much faster (unless it takes you forever to shuffle).

MTG is just an overly expensive variation of RPS.
p.s.: I used to own two(!) black lotus and every mox :P

technically, when it comes down to it, ALL games are an expensive variation of RPS
