Title: Magic the Gathering
Post by: FDH records on June 20, 2011, 05:32:14 AM
Anyone play? I started about a year and a half ago. Im very casual about it (not a total nerd).I have a few decks I have built but not many people to play with. If anyone lives in Philly and wants to play a few hands drop me a line.

Not sure why this is "pop punk" and not non music? Last time I check these cards sounded nothing like the Queers.

I was working a metal fest a few weeks ago, and one of the out of town bands were in the Hi Tone back room playing this until they went on.

Magic is still around? I thought that died out with snap bracelets.

Nope. Pop-Punk is a value judgment.

it would make sense, which is precisely why it wouldn't make any sense. it's supposed to be a joke. it's okay, don't be sore just because you got pop punk'd. it happens.

shit that looks like me when i was 13.

i tried to get into pogs when they were popular. i think i purchased some on two different occasions. i couldn't get into collecting them like baseball cards because i didn't care about the random cartoony bullshit on the faces. the game then seemed pointless and was really boring. not sure if i ever actually played the game.

BUT...

i recently found a special edition SLAMMER that i vaguely remember buying at wal-mart when i was a kid. it's a bronze-ish, saw blade-shaped, metal slammer commemorating O.J. simpson's high speed chase with the cops. the heads side has a cartoon engraving of O.J. behind bars, with the words "O.J. IN THE SLAMMER" across the bottom, and "GUILTY ? INNOCENT" near the top. there's also a tiny football which appears to have been punted, as the word "BOOOM" attaches to it with motion lines. for some reason O.J. is smiling. the tails side shows the bronco being chased by the cops and a helicopter, and interstate 405 and 91 signs, and says "O.J. the CHASE." on the bottom of this side it says "6/17/94 collector's edition."

i found it at a box of my old shit a year ago when i was at my mom's house. i've been carrying it in my pocket most days.

that deck he runs is insanely good but reallllllly boring.  i'm glad its most important card got banned. Except I had several and could've sold them for a lot more pre-ban

yes i'm a total dork that plays magic. fun game. requires pretty good math/logic skills. there's a reason why so many poker pros play it.

I haven't played Magic seriously in maybe 10 years, but I looked through all my old cards recently and have been playing casually every couple of weeks with my roommate.  What you're talking about is exactly what's always bored me about competitive Magic.  What's the point of going to a 50-person tournament where everyone's playing variations of the same 2-3 decks?

haven't played magic cards. yet.
I wish this was a general thread about dorky role playing games because I played DnD last weekend and it was fun.

Totally agree. The game is most fun when playing casual decks with freinds.

I had magic cards when they first came out in '94. I didn't understand how to play. I just thought they were cool because my neighbor had a bunch and I was into wizards and shit.

Skateboarding saved me.

Shit. I just realized that I still have those stupid cards stored away in a shoe box somewhere. I wonder if they're worth anything now.

My little brother was (is?) super into this shit. He has probably a dozen shoeboxes filled with cards. He claims that they'll be super valuable one day... I'm not so sure.

Na if they are not already of value I doubt they will be long term. Certin cards can go for big bucks but they are mostly from the first few sets. The newest stuff will have some cards in the 20$ range but not to many beyond that. Its sort of like comic books and Baseball cards in the 90's. Kids collected them thinking they would one day be worth a fortune but for the most part they are worth cover price at best now.

I thought Magic cards were a fad of my youth but in the past few years I've seen two huge Magic gatherings in Phoenix and Toronto.  Laughed my ass off.

When I was in middle school I picked up a deck to try it out.  I was on a Boy Scout camping trip in some cabin and the others were seasoned veterans of the Magic game.  I tried my hand and quickly grew irritated with these assorted nerds complaining about the proper "tapping" procedure or some such shit.  I ended my Magic career shortly afterwards.

I'll bet all of those dorks make more money than me now.

I'm sure that by this point he's sold all the "valuable" ones for weed money.
