How many of us played magic before moving to poker?

Going through the Where You Are Now post, it seems like a lot of us played magic before moving to poker. Let's see some numbers.

I played type 2 tournies in MA for like 3 years. I quit when ravager took over because I got sick of losing to it.

I played MTG from about 1996 to 2000. Some MTG skills do translate to poker. I just wish I'd discovered poker before I discovered MTG.

I played in college but thought it was called 'Majic'?

...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.

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

I was actually a retailer for M:TG for a while, and sold the cards at flea markets, etc. Playing with kids that would come and buy cards from me. I was in the Guru program and all that. More along the judge-track then the tournament winner track.

I never made it to a tournament.. never went the extra mile to buy rares that would make my deck powerful enough for a tournament.

That was back around Stronghold days. I have some Mercardian Masques cards, and the expansion after that, but it was a long time ago.
