You know your poll is going to be biased in favor of those who have played magic before right?

...I did speculating on cards. I made a killing on Arabian Nights.

I started in Alpha and played until the set after Nights. Whatever that was.

I was one of the best M:TG Type 2 tournament players in Maryland. Played from 1995 to 2002. Was a level 1 Judge, and ran a ~30 person tournament every Sunday at a local mall. I didn't just copy other peoples decks... I was fairly skilled at building my own. I quit Magic in 2002 when I came in 9th at the Maryland championships, when the top 8 moved on to the finals. I play tested this deck design for hours upon hours in live play and online. I spent over 100 bucks buying the cards to complete it.

Alas, in the 3rd game tiebreak in the final Swiss match, this cheezy red deck fired off an Earthquake, killing us both at the same time, for the draw. I overextended myself, and would have killed him in a turn or two. He had no cards in his hand, but topdecked that earthquake. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Anyways, that was my M:TG swan song.

Though he won't admit it, s0ma and I played M:TG back during 6th Edition in a small shop in Miami.

Fun times, tho my folks gave me hell about buying cards.
