Anyone play Magic?

Magic is more important than Pokemon.

So did you guys have the Magic events during PAX? Wish I'd known! Hope it was fun.

I've been playing Magic for at least 10+ years, though there have been long hiatuses in between periods of activity. I was around when cards didn't say "Haste," they said "This creature is not affected by summoning sickness." I was around when Flanking was a big thing. Anyone else remember Flanking? Haha.

I haven't played regularly in several years now, I think the last time was just as Coldsnap was about to come out, way back in '06. My primary deck was a green/artifact deck, mostly elves and other smaller creatures, though IIRC I had at least one Verdant Force and/or Avatar of Might in there that would be seen occasionally.

I was actually totally unaware of the existence of MTG console games until I went to the booth at PAX, where I played the first few levels of [ix6k][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic:_The_Gathering_-_Duels_of_the_Planeswalkers_2012x6k]Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012[/urlx6k][/ix6k] and really enjoyed it. They also gave me a special event foil [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=220106x6k]Merfolk Mesmerist[/urlx6k] card, which was pretty awesome. One of the people working the booth told me that the game was actually available on Steam, which I was very excited about. I found it on Steam ([url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/49470/x6k]here[/urlx6k]), and while I was disappointed that it wasn't Mac-compatible, I figure I'll give everyone here a heads up. It was on sale until recently, but it's still pretty affordable - just 20 bucks for the game and all subsequent DLC expansions and deck packs. However, I was also able to find the game on the XBOX Live Market ([url=http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Magic-2012/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258410b3fx6k]here[/urlx6k]), so I'll be buying it there and probably playing it this weekend.

Bump for great justice. I still haven't bought MTG DotP 2012, but while I was home, I found all my Magic cards! I'd been looking for them for ages. Win.

I haven't played for ages because of school but now that I'm out I'm really excited to see what I've missed. I haven't been able to get a hold of any Avacyn yet, and most of the cards in the deck I use are going to be rotating out soon, but I'm definitely going to play while I can. Anyone have any opinions of the new set?

I've actually gotten quite a bit into magic recently too. There's FNM drafts around here which I go to, and those are fun!
