Title: Age question

I was just wondering about the age of people that play Magic. As a lot of people already know, I am 14. For others, I am just wondering about if they are over or under 18. Most of the people that I see at FNM are from high school up.

Oh yeah, another thing. Could Shakii, Gericault, Zark, and Twogun comment on my changed Ally deck.

No wonder you seem rude, Turbine. It's because you're 14 hahaha

I'm 26. Jeez, what's with all of you little kids?

I'm better than a lot of people here. Not to be arrogant, though.

Actually, it wasn't. Some posts I've seen are childish and immature.

Why are you trying to start an argument anyway. He laughed to make sure that it was seen as a joke.

I'm 25, i started playing around 18 or 19...
Here in our country, I've seen every MtG players of different ages... Most of old players spend most of their salary on MtG... I even seen a girl join FNM... My friend's ex-girlfriend plays MtG...
My friend's uncle plays MtG and he's more than 35 years old...
One of my friend's (same friend with an uncle playing MtG) trading buddy's hair is now becoming bald. so you can imagine his age now...

We have many type of players here... Pro, Johnny, Newbies, Just learning, Don't care about the rules, wanna be judge, don't want to lose, planeswalker players or players with abilities or basically a cheater, smackers (term used to describe someone who sold his cards overpriced to other players), sadists, masochists, winners, losers and of course me... I'm the type who just wants to have fun...

Again, it would be rather strange if he were a girl according to why he started playing Magic.

By the way, your name is small because he just copy and pasted that one... It came from a text with small fonts...

I'm going on 56! So I may be the oldest here that I know of. Been playing since December 1994. FNM @ my local game store has a mix of old and young guys and girls (about 30+ individuals who play).

 

BTW, I also play Warhammer Fantasy and ride a tricked out Harley Softail. I try to maintain a subtle combo of both coolness and geekiness.

I'm 20, and I started playing when I was 12. I came in when Invasion was just coming out, but I learned about magic through my brother's collection of 5th edition cards.

Turbine, you're only 14? I'm pretty shocked about that, I aways took you for an older fellow.

JMD: I forgot about your name. I do want actual critique, but I don't want people telling me to change the entire basis my deck.

Ephemerance: That is most likely because I try to write with correct spelling and grammar. It is great practice for the rest of my life.

I'm 26. Got into magic at school and played occasionally but opponents were hard to find (I lived in a very small village) until I got my parents involved.

I stopped playing when I left school, but a few years ago met a mate who played.

Now a small group of us meet up every wed to play magic.

Only recently have I sampled FNM, and my 1st event was M10.

In plymouth FNM is on wed so I only go when our group can't meet up.
