Re: Magic:The Gathering
Hello all. I've been playing M:tG off and on since The Dark. I'm also a judge (got my first sanctioned judging in at the Shadowmoor pre-release). If you have any questions about much of anything M:tG related, feel free to PM me.
That said, I've found it quite fascinating that the cross-section of M:tG players and Heroscape players is over 80% from each group. I have very few friends who play one but not the other... and MANY who play both (Indeed, I am blessed). Has anyone else observed this? The guy who got me into Heroscape was actually a guy who was in a M:tG league that I ran a couple years ago (Ravnica block). I tend not to play much online anymore, due to quitters/jerks in MODO and lack of comfort/knowledge of how to properly do most things in MWS. I do stay active in most M:tG "scenes" within Seattle though so if anyone is in the area, you probably know me. If you don't though and are looking for more people to play with (anywhere from West Seattle to Lynnwood to Redmond) I can find you a few decent playgroups. *insert witty catchphrase here* |

Re: Magic:The Gathering
I quit Magic around Exodus and at points when starting to play HS I thought of it as a cheaper alternative to Magic which I wasn't willing to spend so much money on.
80% seems a bit high. With so many more Magic players than HS, I think it would be impossible for the cross section to be that high. |

Re: Magic:The Gathering
Yeah, Magic is a really expensive hobby if you want to play it competitively. I have had a summer job since I was 14 and have put a lot of money into my 1 legacy deck (almost 700$!). At least now I don't have to buy anything other than a few new cards every set. Heroscape however, only requires like, 70$ to make a very good army.

Re: Magic:The Gathering
I began playing Magic back when the first deck I bought was an Unlimited one. My girlfriend and I got many cards and had the binders with "one-of-each-card" from the Revised set on, and we played quite a bit. Sometime around 1993 or 1994 though, we got frustrated by the number of rules changes (almost where you needed to download a new FAQ every day to see if old rulings were still good or not) and the cost of the cards (Blind purchases really are not good). We sold our "one-of-each-card" binders, and I used my half of the money to buy her an engagement ring. Eleven+ years of being happily married later, we have no regrets (other than Windows XP won't run the old MTG computer game for Windows 95. If anyone knows any tricks to do this, let me know!).
Jim Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide shot selection! Scaper of the Week #17 How to get to Skyknight's house: Drive to the red light, then call him. |

The most significant rules changes IMO didn't happen until 1999 with Sixth Edition, when they finally got rid of batches, queues, interrupts, et al and made all abilities the same speed as instants and made everything use "the stack". It simplified the rules and made things much cleaner and easier to understand. Quote:
I buy booster boxes for ~$80 now, far below MSRP. I remember when they used to be ~$30 for me, when booster packs were ~1.25. MSRP for a booster now is around $4.50 i think. Some of this is inflation but a lot of it is corporate greed. I don't find the costs too ridiculous yet though and I'm grateful that they did increase the price somewhat... as otherwise the game would not still be around. Quote:
