Does anyone still play? Anyone play online? I was never interested in playing online until i found out if you want you can exchange your online cards for real ones within 4 years of purchase which is pretty cool. I read the online community is pretty small though with only 2-4k playing online at most times.

I still play online. It's only worth doing if you win enough to not have to pay to play, imo.

I wish I had the link to DS's article from a few months ago, "Saddle Points For Tournament Mana Values in Split Pot Magic Games."

How much do packs cost online? Same as real world? I saw just signing up costs 10 bucks, do they at least give you a starter deck to start with? Are one on one matches free? Or do you have to pay for every match? Can you buy singles directly from the game?

The word bucks is stupid. Stop using it.

Also, I think it's free for the most part signup fees/deck costs aside.

I know tournaments cost money or tokens or something which are worth money, but i just want to make sure i can play random people heads up for free. If not f it.

[rja87]

You can play for free with the beginners decks or whatever in the new players area but that's it. When you pay the $10 to join they give u a $10 coupon for the store, which is almost enough to draft.

[tabako]

If you just want to throw a deck together and play, thats free to do once you get the cards. Earlier, I was referring to the draft queues.

my primary circle of friends and I are all old magic pros/players who are now pro poker players, and there are tons of us. Hanging out at the WSOP was like a reunion of old magic pros...

Who? I hung out with a lot of old magic pros past two WSOPs.

Off the top of my head: Gary Wise, Bob Maher, Dave Williams, Neil Reaves, Geddes Cooper, Ben Stark, Billy Stead, Marco Blume, Dirk Baberowski, I also saw a lot of the northeastern guys like Brock and Baby Huey.

I just missed Kai Budde, and heard rumors that Sven Geertson and Sigurd Esklund were there, but missed both of them. I'm sure I haven't remembered even half of the MTGers I saw.

Personally, my first experience with Texas Hold Em was playing with other MTG Pros at a Pro Tour event.
