Introduce Yourself Here

[psymunn]

hey, i'm Simon... 22, and living in Vancouver, BC (i.e. the furthest place from all the gawdamn tournaments). Played from 4th till just before 6th and was the proud owner of the entire fallen empires set (which still has the best damn flavour text ever... and saprolings ownzor all newbz).
I have too much free time at work so I goldfish ellaborate combo decks all day, amazed at how easy it is too win games with out opponents (go food chain, matron/embermage/fierce empath). Can't help but notice everyone and their mother is from Oregon here so... you know... if anyone gets about arranging a large tournie down there I'll come and scoop to force of will or something rouge (red, not rogue).

Hi guys, my name's Steve, live in Fairfax, VA. I'm going into my senior year of high school. Sorta just started in Legacy, before then I sorta just screwed around in tournaments, but I'd actually like to care about my DCI rating :p

Favorite deck is green beats, but since that doesn't work out so hot for Legacy, I dunno what deck I'll build and play, but I'll figure something out :-P

[Ridiculous Hat]

hey, i'm hat. i'm 19 and currently going to school in philly.

i'm trying to get into legacy because most of the other formats bore me right now. extended is fun, i s'pose, and post-rav t2 is just bewildering, but really i just wanted to play with fows and duals and daze. plus i was totally disillusioned from cokblock.

anyways, um, i mostly joined just to talk about gro but i'm sure i'll be talking about other stuff too. i have gobs built and i like playing it in extended but i was hoping there'd be an answer to it here. there isn't one yet but dammit i'll try!

oh, does anyone know any place to play in philly? let me know if you do.

[Mastaq]

Sup.. My name is Angelo..

Played since: 4th Ed
Age: 21
Location: Rhode Island (USA)
Decks: Anything that is good. Love playing black.
Judge: Yes, I'm a level 1. Soon to be level 2 hopefully.
Formats: I play every format in Magic competitivly.

Just recently got into Legacy. Hopefully the transition won't be to harsh. Considering I played Vintage for a while.

[Angelfire]

Hey, my name is Gabe.

I have played Magic since revised but only competitively since like Judgement.
Age: 19
Location: Mass, I play at Thats Entertainment and TJ's.
I avoid Net decks at all costs. Playing a deck you did not create removes a whole element of Magic, the one I feel is most important.
Formats: I mainly play 1.5, but I also play type 2 and have played some type 1. I obviously draft and do sealed.

[cheesespecter]

I love all sorts of games requiering some form of intelligence, thus I play some Warhammer.
I'm a drummer in some bands.
I work as a dishwasher in a castle (no, it's not one of our legal coffeeshops)

EDIT: Playin' goblins at the moment, t1.5 and t1 are my thing (I hate the whole oops-I-can't-use-my-cards-no-more-which-went-from-20-to-5-euros-because of-the-rotation-shit)

[darqueside]

Though I would post and say hey ...uh hey....

Bob, 27, here from san Jose, Cali

I have been playing magic for far too long. I started at the end of beta/beginning of unlimited for those of you that know superstars I remember when john sold cards out of his binder.

I start and stop magic an awful lot......
Being wholly unproductive at work and reading the boards here started me up again recently. I used to go to Pleasanton for a bit, a while back and then stopped and am now back on the band wagon for a bit, as work etc now permits it. If any of the people from the area can give me a hey and let me know where people play legacy now etc, Pleasanton still around? it would be greatly appreciated since I haven’t been around in a while.

[Bane of the Living]

Well I never introduced myself so I will now.
My name is Nathan VonSchlegel. Started casual play in Urza Block, Competitive (fnm) Onslaught Block. I've yet to break into my professional magic career but then again I hope that never happens as this is a silly narcotic cardboard game. I'm in school right now in the medical field and work for a sweet company thats paying me to shuffle cards so I'm still playing magic. My main hobby is music so magic usually takes a back seat.

Fav format:Standard
High Rating: 1780ish?
Location: Worcster MA
Type of player: Spike/Johnny
Colour(s): Black, Red, Green, Blue, White in that order
Music: Black metal, death metal, other anal leakage of christ
Hobbies: Drums, MTG (duh), Mocking people that give a shit about politics, Selling cigarettes to kids

I refuse to play MTGO because I bought MTG Encyclopedia, you guys remember that beast? Wizards discontinued it and wouldn't refund me shit, F them. That leaves me stuck with Sunday tournaments playing Legacy. I like this format but it's beginning to bore me now. Too many of the same cards unlike a rotating format and too many pretencious players. Auf Wierdersehen. 88!

[cgooch]

Hey, my name is Chuck, although most people just call me Gooch because that's my middle name. I'm pretty new to Legacy, but I played last year's Extended extensively so I have a -pretty- good idea of what's going on. I play a similar Gro deck to the one Ben Goodman played at the GP in Philadephia.

[dryadfanatic724]

Hi, I never introduced myself either.
My name's Vincent, I started playing during 4th edition (you know, when the good cards rotated out). I only started to play cometitively during Onslaught block.
Fav. format is Legacy. I played it even before it was an actual format. Used to play survival (and I probably changed between 100 different builds of it). Then I played Gro and have played it since 3 yrs ago.
I mostly played 1.5 in local tourneys, except for GP Philly. There, I played GAT (with 4 colors - Hey, I think Summersburger did the same to use Mage) and ended up 49th overall, mostly because I didn't bring any Goblin Hate (I thought it was already hated out). There's a picture of me on Wizards' s site (GP Philly, Day 1, Feat. Match 4). I played against Billy Moreno; he had a deck designed by Mike Flores (who kept saying that my Dryads sucked) and I smashed it savagely.
I am the spike/johnny type of player. Favorite color(s): FOW and STP (U/W).
Music: STP (not the card; I still think STP is better than Velvet Revolver), Iron Maiden, Cypress Hill, Biggie Smalls, Snoop Dogg, Lacuna Coil
Hobbies: MTG, collecting swords, hittin' the pipe (often)
Location: I have 2 addresses: one in NJ and one in NY, where I go to college at CUNY.
Fav. Actress: Heather Graham (I think she really hot, although she's like 15 yrs older than me)
BTW, Gro and Gro varients are the best decks to play in 1.5, if you're a good player.

Say, does anyone here go to Neutral Ground? We desperately need more 1.5 players there; it's being overrun by Standard, Extended, Limited (which is ok), and ugh, Yugioh.

[Ebinsugewa]

Oh hey, I just noticed this thread. My name is Brendan, almost 17, from Worcester, MA. I too started playing during Urza's block and made my first FNM appearance during OLS. I have a love/hate relationship with Standard, but Extended and Legacy are my passions. I also dabble in 10-proxy Vintage, and I play combo like it's going out of style.

[Moby Dick]

Hi, Im Joe from leicester MA, i have no life. Hence me posting on these boards.

[LinkXwing]

Hi, Im Joe from leicester MA, i have no life. Hence me posting on these boards.

Welcome one and all!

And don't worry, none of us have lives to speak of.

[KillerWhiteRabbit]

Except P_R, he has kids. In lieu of a life :D

I don't think I've introduced myself either, I'm Chris Saunders, and live in upstate NY. My favorite format is legacy. I've been playing since '97, and still suck big time.

Mys social security number is: wait...that wasn't one of the questions!!!

It seems that if someone read this thread close enough, it would be sort of an amateur stalker kit. [glare]

[DoomPenguin]

Damn, I know 3 people on this page already. My names Ben Hatch and I'm from Worcester, MA. I started playing MTG pretty recently at like Apocalpyse but stopped for a year when the Kamigawa sets came out. Just recently I started playing local 1.5 tournamnets every week. I have the amazing power to play bad sub-par decks and do well with them, namely BBS for a while and UG Madness. I play mostly for fun, but I've won occasionally. Like eveyone else, I post here cuz I have no life.....

[BullBar]

Many of you may have seen me lurking around here and other MTG sites - G'day to all who haven't.
I've been playing far too long. It's getting kinda embarrassing. I'm actually going grey! It's real bad when at FNM I often face opponents who weren't born when I won my first tournament. Fortunately I haven't started losing to them yet, but we'll see how long that lasts!
Anyways, the legacy format here is still a bit scrubby. My team also doesn't have much time for testing after T2 and 1.X is outta the way. When the 1.5 banned list was the T1 restricted list, however, the format was popular here, so I already have 5 odd years of experience to bring to the table. Legacy is really catching on here too; hopefully I'll soon have real data to post about. Untill then I'll just sit in the corner spouting old school tech ppl might not have been exposed to, or forgotten.
A hearty pat on the back to all the Mods and Administrators. Its so nice to find such a serious and focussed site devoted to my favourite format. And please people, DON'T TELL KIDS, FLAMERS AND ARROGANT SCRUBS ABOUT THIS PLACE!!!
P.S. - What's with having to log back in so often?

[Bane of the Living]

I'd like to introduce the love of my life..

She has the same IP address as me, she's real, home comp.
