LMAO, I still play every now and then with my friends, who store their cards at my house so i can make them decks when i get bored..
I won almost every Tourney in my hometown, and whenever i walked into the local Card shop place thingie, No one would play with me
I have Black/Blue beatdown decks, Red/Green growth decks with Direct Damage (gotta love Fireball

) and a couple weenie Elf Decks..
I quit collecting cards around the beginning of 7th Edition cuz i was spending wayyy to much money on them damn things..then I looked at MageKnight Figures, which is kinda like Warhammer, but already painted, and i bought some of those but they're more expensive then Magic, so i quit that too.
I think i have about 2 decks that are completely Foil and Rare cards and they're both worth about 140$ each..so it aint that bad i guess.. [img]smile.gif[/img]
But hey, its a fun hobby until no one wants to play with you anymore...Go for the gold baby, go for the gold...
Oh yea, i forgot, I would go with a good mono Green Beatdown deck with creatures that give more mana when you tap them (forgot what they're called). Also get some Giant Growth's or other cards like them...i wouldnt get to advanced before you know how to use cards with special abilities...and most importantly... HAVE FUN!
