Ever wonder how old is too old? Or perhaps, like they say, age is nothing but a number. I do believe we never truly "grow up." I've enjoyed Magic for 11+ yrs. on and off, why stop now right? (lol!)
My parents still think it's childish on me to keep playing Magic since the 5th grade (I'm 19 right now). Luckily, I make my own decisions and couldn't be happier with the game.
I'm 25, started when i was 18...back in mercadian block era...
When Invasion came out, that was a great set, and I had spent so much $$$ on packs and boxes. And i never cracked a single Urza's Rage

My dad feels the same way, but meh i just tell him it's childish for him to watch his westerns and he gets this confused look on his face and i walk away:cool:
bout to turn 21 (dont be jealous) and been playing since mirrodin came out, 2003 i think
I'm 21. I started playing right before Tempest came out. My only regret was that I didn't buy a ton of Urza's Saga booster boxes when I had the chance!
Nineteen here and I haven't played for roughly a little less than a year. I haven't found a new play group since highschool.

Im about to turn 23 in about a month.... Ive been playing on and off since The Dark came out, but did not start playing seriously until Rath Block/Urza's Block was T2...
I took another break from playing Magic right after Mercadian Block, when I was completely disgusted with the Standard environment and it was also Junior year of Highschool. Started playing once again in Mirrodin and really havent looked back this time...
Please, accept that Magic costs money to play, and drop it. A playset of Baneslayers>playset of duals. New Jace>Force of Will. Etc... Not to mention, Legacy is so wide open, that it's easy to build a deck that can perform reasonably well without very many "money staples" at all.
I'm 20, started playing when Tempest was out.
However, didn't really play tournaments until it was Rising Waters/Rebels type 2. Then I took a decent break from paying attention after Judgment. Haven't really paid much attention lately except for legacy.
I'm 23, but will I live to see 24? At the rate that I'm going I don't know. I've been playing Magic since late '94... lucky me, I started the day Fallen Empires came out.
Why couldn't I have gotten into it just a few months earlier?
I shall join you in this lieing buisiness. I am 69 years old. I used to live in Germany, but then the Communists had to go lose the Cold War, so I had to sell myself on the Internet. A girl bought me in France, but never showed up so now I'm living in France scraping out a living.

Q: Will America's missile shield over Europe affect prices of foreign cards? A: It will. WotC will use its Magic Online programming team to hack into the missile shield control center. This will cause the control center to crash frequently . One of those crashes will lead to the bombing of every distributor in Europe. I'm afraid the effect on card prices will be catastrophic.
Yeah, I don't really want it in WCT, either. Here's the thing:
1) The thread is really lacking in potential for discussion. Not a deal breaker, but I much rather threads here have some sort of point that can be discussed. This doesn't.
2) As an extension of #1, this thread is highly succeptable to spam. Even though it's still entirely on-topic, posts such as "I'm 19" just suck. And a thread such as this is ripe for resulting in a slew of posts just like that, something I try to curb as much as possible.
3) This thread has far too much Magic talk for Outside Magic. In fact, the only discussion so far has been people talking about how long they've played Magic ... not good for a thread in Outside Magic. I'd say it belongs in Magic General for this reason alone, but extremeicon disagrees.
4) Threads like this historicallygo in SYM.
So as a last-ditch effort to give this thread a good home, I'm moving it to Speak Your Mind, even though I'm not entirely sure if that's 100% appropriate for it, either.

How about not buying Moxes when they were $40 a piece, Libraries when they were $25 a piece and origial Duals when they were $5 a piece?
