Just wondering... anyone play Magic the Gathering here?

And does anyone know a good place that sells Mtg or a good place where people gather and play?

PS. MTG is a trading card game that's been around for a while. I've been out of it for a few years now, but my friends in Sydney are pushing me to get back into it...

Cut those friends loose :D

Your dont need/want them! :D

Just play Wc3!

Cut those friends loose :D

Your dont need/want Nerds Like them! :D

:P

Depends on the definition of nerds... those Mtg players would probably say the same thing about we QGLers. :D

I am a nerd though whichever definition you use, and I am proud of it!

In all seriousness... mtg is a great game... but it sucks too much money. But at least there is no wallhacker or aimboters.

again depends on the definiton of nerd.

im pretty sire nerd means a person that thinks he knows, and a geek means a person in the know,

anyway dictionary.com

mtg is highly wierd, i have cousins that play it and it is so like all other fantasy card games dice and all.

Used to play that game... then got bored of it... but you should see the japs play it, they bloody sound as if they were chanting a mantra.

Never knew there was a difference. I use the two words more or less interchangeably.

Oh well.

So I guess no one plays MTG here then?

I started got a booster pack or whatever. Money became an issue.

I also played the computer game of it as well

There's a place on Adelaide street called Ace comics and games or something near JB's up some stairs, and they have people go there Thursday's after lunch till close playing. And also they have weekly tournaments there every Saturday i think.

Played it a few times with some mates that are into it.. Pretty fun tho i dont have any cards of my own, lucky they have s*** loads :)

whats your best card?
10/10 leviathan

I played this for the first time the other day, out of curiosity. Might have been fun if not fot the fact I got owned.

i got a whole heap of those cards...never played it really tho

some are good i guess..

is there any place that will buy them?

Hey LD99 i have some holos if you would like to buy them off me are you in Brisbane???

Holy crap, I had no idea people still played that. I thought it died while I was still in school [a good five or so years ago] because it started in my early years of high school I think. Then again, every time I walk past a Games Workshop I can't believe people are still sitting there around miniature orcs and knights and what not, yelling stuff at each other about spells cast and weapons used. It's almost as bad as a CS LAN :(

There are a few people at UQ who play it (both ST Lucia and Ipswich), including two of my housemates (well three realy, but one of them hasn't bought any cards in years).

I used to play it when Arabian Nights came out, I sold my cards off for a healthy profit before all of them got phased out.

whats your best card?

ze nasty black lotus... untill they banned the lotus > channel > fireball combo.
after that was having 4 curse racks and 4 curse vices to wreak hell... had 2 mill stones too *evil*

sold all of them too. i stopped just when mirage came out.

Hey LD99 i have some holos if you would like to buy them off me are you in Brisbane???

What you mean by holos? I am terrible when it comes to slang.

10/10 Levithan... you can't be serious. Who uses that? :D

Yeah... MTG apparently still very much alive. It is a great game, but it just costs too much money. Ahh... but fond memories. I remember playing the game throughout year 11 and 12, as well as the entire uni degree. Hell, I spent more days playing Magic than hours attending lectures.

grade 8, thats when i played, it was a phase

got over it

its allright but hav not look at my cards for years

i played it in grade 8,9 and a bit of 10, but then i got a girlfriend :P

I used to play it a dit in 96 but was more into the collectable side of the cards. Sold out all my cards in 99 when I needed some cash, and they started to reprint some of the more collectables. So now I only collect comics and toys, so if anyone has "GROO THE WANDERER" comics bellow issue 105 I would be interested. :)

I used to play quite a while ago. There are heaps and heaps of stores that sell booster packs, goldern casket in morningside I've noticed sells em. Plus have a look in the comic stores in the city, if you are looking for rarer cards.

Actaully on that note anyone here play rifts....?

I had a limited edition Shaquille O'neill Upper Deck MVP

i used to play...

good game but when i played at school the christian freaks always complained about how it was evil cause it had magic and monsters and we were going to hell and such

my bro has shaqu o neils rookie card though aparantly thats worth f*** loads soon i shall tax and sell it :)

i used to play it when i was in yr6 till yr9.. i wasted soo much money on getting booster packs.. but i had the best decks out of all the people i played with :D

I stopped playing a few years ago, but started again when i came to Sweden. Huge following over here and we have just started the regionals which eventually lead to the World Championship. Last year it was held in Sydney, this year in Berlin.
The biggest group that plays in Brisbane is probably still Brisbane Online http://www.brisbaneonline.com.au/
at ashgrove.

I played about 5 years ago, when I was playing I was into the tournaments and all.
Funny story actually is that when I was playing the world champ was a guy from Brisbane and turns out three years later he is serving me at his internet cafe... really great bloke, I gave him a few games when with the couple of decks I didn't throw out but he still has the ability to absolutely flog me.
He gave up once he was world champ, deciding to leave the game on a high note.
