Re: How many of us played magic before moving to poker?
While I realize this poll is skewed towards the Magic players, I'm nonetheless impressed with how many there are.
I played way back in the day shortly after Revised was released, and I quit a couple years later. I was never serious at all. I picked it up again shortly after the open beta of Magic Online started. I got much more serious with it then, although I never played cardboard again. However, after the thing went live, I was increasingly faced with the cruel reality that I sucked, or at the very least I didn't have what it took to break even based on play alone. I was able to support the habit based on aggressive trading, which, really, is probably more profitable than playing for all but the very best players. I kept playing for a couple more years, but the degree of my sucking kept increasing. About that time, I found poker, I sold my collection, and I never looked back.
