Introduce Yourself Here

Hello all,

Living in the central part of Connecticut.
Been playing on and off since Onslaught.

I got into the Legacy format recently as some of my favorite cards will be rotating out of extended in the near future.
Legacy looks like a pretty healthy format and I see the possibility for more innovation and change in this format as opposed to extended, standard and vintage. I only wonder what kind of new decks would be developed if there was more pro involvement and general interest in this format.

Anyways, where I live there's very few places to play magic and if anyone is in my area and having tournaments or simply up for a few casual games feel free to message me.
I have BG Rock, Aggro Loam, Enchantress (words of wind cloud of faeries version), a UG control varient, Astral Slide, UBr Tog, RG Beats, and other more casual decks.

I'm Fred, I'm from Schenectady, NY (Albany area).

I used to play 1.5 at CCM when the Wizard's Guild was open. I'm sure some of you already know me.

I'm always looking to play multi plyr, so if you're interested, give me a shout.

Hi, Im Joe. 31 yrs old, been playing magic off and on for years. Got into playing competetive magic about a year ago. Fell in love with Legacy. Looking for people near Bristol CT to play. PM me PLEASE!!!!! Local shop stopped open magic night and Id love to find a new place close by to play at!

Hello guys and gals

My name is Scott I live in Kingston Ont, Canada. I'm 23 and I've been playing since the onslaught/judgement block was released. I mostly play casual but I'm looking into ramping up into some more serious play. I am a music fanatic and I have to say my favorite band is Guided by Voices, if anyone here listens to them please PM me I have never met another GBV fan.

I look forward to getting to know everyone as opposed to just creeping around the Source.

Hey Hey, my name is Albert, I'm 23 and live in Bandung, Indonesia (archipelago country in South East Asia). My first block is Invasion and was playing casual until Kamigawa block released when I became Vintage / Legacy serious player. .
My fave color is :r: and I think that's all, more will be known after you have a chat or two with me. .

Hi Everyone,

My name is Michael Misiaszek. I currently live in Southeastern Connecticut (Norwich area.) Just graduated from the University of New Haven with a Chemistry and Forensics Degree. I've been playing magic since 11th grade which is about 6.5 to 7 years and tournament magic for about 5 years. I played Standard but got forced to start playing legacy through some friends and enjoy the game.

I frequent Arkham Asylum in Norwich, CT, Barron's Comics and Cards in Milford, CT, TJ Collectibles West Springfield, MA, and Off the Wall Games in Hadley, MA.

Thanks.

Hello everyone.

My name is Jack and I live in New Jersey USA.
I've been playing Magic for about 5 years now, I think I started casual during Kamigawa. Well, during 2006 I finally decided to take up competitive Magic and I've been at it for about 2.5 years.
After a a while I lost a lot of interest in Standard, so I took up Legacy and returned to casual interests like collecting cool cards for EDH and I haven't regretted it since :cool: .

About myself could be found at these following URLs:

http://www.pojo.biz/board/showthread.php?t=146239 (third post down)
http://www.youtube.com/user/mercenarybdu

...I've typed it so many times that I just might as well use these URLs to save people the hassle of knowing a little bit about me.

Other than what the URLs say I'll give you more of a background in type. First off, I've been playing Magic for 11 years. My first years were for fun, then in 2004-now for perspective and culture. I've been on the Legacy train since late 2005 with the release of Dark Confidant into the card pool, ever since I've been keeping a very close eye on this format and it's workings (internal and external). With Evan Erwin starting a magic tubing movement, I and a few other tubers gained the inspiration to keep he started flowing.
I've done work for him although my content I sent him didn't make it into his show. Although it didn't make it I still posted the content for the world to look over while it revealed the first problems that the first tubers revealed through what was posted that Evan fixed at GP Philly in his Top 2.

So when my camcorder arrives, I'll be sure to throw my hat into the race against Evan and the Cardproffessor.

Hi
My name is Felipe, been playing magic since Onslaught, but recently have become interested in playing Legacy, found this forum through mtgs, I'm LasherHN there in case someone would wonder.

Hey! My name is Nik, I'm from Holland, and found this forum through someone on MWS (the freak accident <3). Been playing magic since 4th edition/alliances/ice age, took a break around mercadian masques and came back about half a year ago. Favourite format is Legacy, since I like to use all the stuff available basically, and I'm too poor to afford the vintage cards.
Apart from that I play loads of casual (multiplayer)games in which I try to play strange decks and DESTROY my opponents with awesome stuff. I'm also a huge Timmy, which is why I'm a fervent Loam player, simply because I think it's the most fun to play.

I like sci-fi, movies, music (anything really, from drum & bass to metal to hip hop) and I'm 24 years old.

Well that's me, adios.

Hey I've been browsing these boards for around a year or so, and just recently decided to start posting. My name is Frank, and I'm going to college in the Boulder Colorado area. If you're in the area and need someone to play Legacy with, or Cube, I don't have a legacy deck up right now but would love to play anytime. However I'm from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and from what I've gathered these isn't a very big Legacy scene here. Been playing magic since Invasion, but have been playing Legacy since about a year or two before the Banned list separation.

Heyhey,

my name is Jaschar and I live in Berlin, Germany.
I started MTG right after 4th edition got issued and sticked with it until Chronicals.

I hopped back on when Mirrodin came out. And stuck with ( unpowered) Vintage :confused: for the following blocks.

I've been playing competitive Legacy for the last 1.5 years roughly and am way too addicted by now, honestly.
My girl got close to make me decide between her and MTG more than once :cry:

Greetz,

Jaschar

Hey boy's and gal,

Well i've decided to start posting, been a member for a while and been lurking on thie site for some time before registering, but since i wasnt playing any magic it dinnt really feel right... So I restarted to abuse the drug known as "Magic". I used to play when revised was hot off the press and stopped around the urza's block. Since then a good deal of my collection has desapeared (I suspect larceny, but there also a possibility I just lost them while moving), the shitty part about this is that the dual collection is gone , so no cheap come back for me.

Btw in 27 called Max (add an ime at the end if you wanna be perfectionnist) I live in Thetford-Mines Québec but my occupation calle me to move regulary.

Well see ya ll on the boards

Hey, guys. I used to be incredibly active like way back in the day (late 2003), when it used to be a different URL. I remember some people like Kirdape, but there are a lot of new faces and I'm really excited to meet the new faces that carry on the legacy we started back in 2003.

I've decided to put my life on hold and play Magic again. Apparently there's at least one T1/1.5 tournament out there somewhere in San Diego.

Hi, I'm Jake, and I'm an alchoholic.

Hi Jake!

Hello i signed up prob a month or two ago, but never introduced myself.
I started playing magic during Tempest in 1997.
Went to FNM at a Wizards store around invasions release.
Stopped playing in tourny's often around Onslughts release
Followed magics evolution but never participated untill the release of Lorwyn.
Now that T2 is terrible in my opinion i am looking into Legacy because i love the idea that no matter how good the deck is. Theres so many out there that something beats you.

Anyways. Michigan player looking fo any tournys in MI. Send me PM's please of any consistant Legacy events help in Michigan i would love to have a stable tourny scene.

:)

I'm Joel aka mossivo1986 or MoSs_BoSs

I've been playing magic for quite a long time. I started around the dark and actually started collecting and getting into the game around tempest.

When I am on mws I am usually down for some games, and I do enjoy the sarcasm :).

anyways have a good day contact me, w.e ttyl

Hey everyone, I'm Brad Herbig. I am new to legacy but I'm already very excited about it. I'm from Cincinnati but currently go to college in western Indiana and would love to play with anyone from around either of those places.

P.S. I'm not related to the Herbig who I hear about in various Legacy places. At least I don't think so.

Fixed.

Hello, i'm radley. ^_^ :laugh:

Hello fellow sourcers. Lets see something about me.

I play magic.

I played standard since my return to magic at mirridion after having left for about 6 years. I quit standard last year when my second child was born, since I can no longer justify a $200 investment every 3 months just to stay competitive. I traded off most of my type 2 stuff and play some extended but mostly legacy and vintage (I got lucky when I quit around Urza's saga that all my cards got left in my parents basement I still have my power and duels, mana drains and such) I play Goblins but am working on a new deck at the moment.

I think I've posted a few times, but no formal introduction. I really enjoy Legacy from the sidelines but haven't had anywhere to play it [competitively]. But I am definitely going to the GP in Chicago. I just moved to Indianapolis, and can anyone help me out - is there a competitive scene anywhere in this area? I'd like to think that the city hosting the Legacy/Vintage Championships every year would have a scene...please let me know.

Hi, everyone. I'm Luca, I'm an Italian student and I'm very glad to be in tis forum, posting, reading and sharing lists, impressions and comments about this great game that's Magic, in this great format that's Legacy.

See ya around! :D

(My apologize for my terrible English!)

Hey all,

I've stalked the Source for quite some while now, and have finally decided to actually bother making an account. I really like Legacy, because I used to play Standard, and I hated having to always buy cards. Although ironically, I'm buying quite a lot of cards lately, staples of course.

Hello all,
Long story short, I was with this site wayyyy back before the new URL and whatnot, maybe 5 or 6 years ago. I'm back at it again, partly because of GP Chicago, and partly because legacy is probably the best format.

Thanks in advance for the warm welcomes ; - )

2 and a half years of Official Lurking before I do this I guess.

I'm Stuart.

I used to play quite a bit of magic, but I've slackened lately due to lack of venues (our old weekly 1.5 got shut down due to drug convictions with the business's owner) and lack of money. I dabble in most anything but blue, and have a fond love for midrange BGw aggro-control decks that scoop to Counterbalance.

I'm Jackson.

I've been posting on here for a while, but never formally introduced myself. Where to start? I've been playing Magic since the end of Masques block, started competitively with Onslaught. I'm always trying new things out. However, I've been known to have a short fuse.

Hi, my name is Mark. I started playing Magic back when revised was being sold. I stopped buying cards when Visions came out. Then, about a year ago, I started trying to get back into it.

The problem is, that I'm in Longmont, Colorado, and there is no legacy here, which is the only format that I'm really interested in. Anybody out there?

I like goats.

Good to know Etienne. :wink:

I just realized I never posted in this thread before.

I started playing magic when Tempest was released and played casual until Torment I think. From then, I just sold my Angel deck 100$ bucks. This year, I played with someone I met in France and just gave me the desire to restart playing. I looked at different format and was looking to play competitives decks. As I mostly played Urza's block cards, I was really drawn to legacy. I bought the green men and start doin weekly tournament with Vial Goblins. Then went to black splash. I wasn't able to have top 4 or even top 8 with it. I decided to go control with Dreadstill and I really like it.

Montreal is a nice place to play legacy because of the weekly tournament at Valet de coeur, but I would like to see more importants tournaments with 5/6 rounds and top 8. I just played 3 and 4 rounds tournament with boosters to win and would like more challenge!

That's it,


PM

Hey all, Brent here.

I started playing about three years ago, mostly casually in college. I'm graduated now and looking to greatly expand my collection and get involved in more serious play. With GP Chicago coming down the pipe, this is the perfect time to stop dragging my feet and learn the ropes. I've been doing research and I'm thinking of playing some sort of BW control-ish deck, but I'm not sure whether not playing blue is an option right now.

So, I'm just learning all about Legacy, and any help, deck suggestions etc would be greatly appreciated; otherwise I'm going to keep reading all the great content this site has to offer.

I don't suppose I've introduced myself yet. So here goes.

Hi, I'm Kate (or Katie, whichever you prefer). I started playing at the very tail end of Mirrodin block, and have slowly grown more competitive as time goes by. I hang out in Wisconsin, enjoy cheese, and worship Chibithulhu in my spare time.

Hello Girls and Boys,

I'm Florian, counting 19 years and I come from Austria (maybe my english isn't the best ;) ).
I started playing for fun 8 years ago with several editions (I even caught some Urza's Saga Booster ^^), since last year, I play on tournaments, preferring the Legacy format.

Greetings, Bierbaron

Hello everybody. I'm a pretty old hand at this game. I first saw cards when The Dark and Revised were new, I bought more Fallen Empires than I'd like to admit, and my heyday was the Ice Age/Mirage era. I quit in disgust when WoTC started the block rotation system, to waste my money on even more expensive hobbies (warhammer, sigh...). My interest resurged during Ravnica, and I've been building a better collection ever since, playing mostly casual multiplayer.

I've been reading The Source for quite a while now, but haven't had the urge to join until just now. I'm very glad that there is a Casual deck forum here now, as none of my decks are close to competitive yet, so that's where I'll be hanging out mostly for the time being, I suspect.

Also, I felt like saying that I feel like an Old Fogey when I go to prereleases, but not so much around here. The quality of discourse on this forum is some of the best I've read on any magic forum, so hats off to you all.

Ok I needed to clarify a few points here.


1.)Just because i live in Arkansas does not mean I am from Arkansas.

2.)I was born in Cadiz, Spain way back in the 1970's

3.)Moved to California at the age of 2-Lived in Modesto until the age of 13.

4.)Then Lived in Santa Cruz, Ca until I was 18.

7.)Moved to San Juan, Puerto Rico. Worked freelance as a communications technologies expert.

8.) Met my Wife via Match.com at the age of 28. She lived in Indiana at the time.

9.)I was offered the job I Held at Tyson Foods Inc. until Dec of last year. We decided to take the Job and move to Arkansas.

10.)So thats my life in 10 points or less I am not an Arky or whatever they call them selves. I just own 20 acres of the state.
