*shamelessly copy/pasting this from a thread in the poll forum*
Oh well, where to begin? I started playing the game about 7 years ago... Spent tons of money (well, for a 13 year old it surely was a lot
) on cards and collected green and blue cards. Started when the Fallen Empires series was brand new and the Revised edition was still being sold. Magic the Gathering was a hype in those days at our school and dozens of people played the game, which was very interesting to work on various playing skills and tactics. Because the group of players was so large, some of the richer kids actually saw it as some sort of status symbol to start buying complete boxes (!) of rate cards at a time, just to poke the eyes out of the others... Many lost interest including me and I stopped playing around the time
Mirage was released. I believe I've still got the all the green cards from the series between Fallen Empires and Mirage lying around somewhere... I don't do anything particularly with it, but still never even considered selling them, even though I haven't played it in 6 years. It's a piece of nostalgia...
