Me and my friend's were talking about how we got into Magic and what set we first played with, so I decided to start this topic, mainly out of boredom, and mainly because it may actually seem interesting.

When did you decide to try MTG and what set did you start out with?


I started playing when my teacher asked me if I had any MTG trades. (He assumed this because at the time I played Yu-gi-oh, which after playing MTG for the first time, made me realize MTG was way more fun.)I immediatley went out and bought a theme deck, and started playing. It was the Shadowmoor deck, Aura Mastery, and I've been hooked on MTG ever since.

I think it was one of these boxes that teaches you how to play, and 7th edition was out back then. Then I continued with the onslaught block and I stopped at the last Kamigawa set. Now I started again but I play on a program so I don't buy cards, I just make any kind of deck I want in the program and play with it :P

I started When I was in 5th grade or so. I was around 1994-1995, so that would have been around Fallen Empires. Right as 4th edition was coming out.

I got into it by watching people play it at a YMCA is used to go to after school. Watched a lot then someone probably let me use their deck and played with me to teach me. I stopped playing around Mirage/Visions. I recently got back into it because of some of my friends who are still into are still playing.

my friends got me intoduced to the game, just hanging out at there house. I remember i was playing with his sliver deck as he was explaining the game to me, and me asking my guy has trample what do you mean I cant hurt you just cause I'm blocking" Went out that same weekend and bought my first theme deck, Coldsnap's Snowscape. and I have to say Coldsnap is still my favorite set.

scottymandingo=Magicworkstation.com allows you to play for free though the quality is not really worth it, half the time you cant finish a game because the other person quits because you wont let them do something illegal, though I have had some fun games on it,

It's "Magic work station". Just type magicworkstation in google and you'll find it. Also try to find sites on how to use it for MtG (because it suports many card games).

My friend in college taught me how to play MtG.. But during that time, i still can't understand the basics of the game... It was when 2 of my friends played against each other.. I can still remember the decks they are using.. One is White wennie Vs. MonoBlack... During that time, i have no idea about the main themes of each of the colors of MtG.. It was funny and Exciting... Black was winning, Black already has a 6/6 Creature.. I think it was Nightmare or something, Then when White wennie was almost dead.. Top deck was Akroma, Angel of Wrath... What a lucky draw it was... 1 Akroma in the whole deck and it was top deck..
The Monoblack has nothing to kill akroma...
