     When Magic:The Gathering first came out, I thought it was s tupid
     concept.

     I couldn't believe people would waste money on these cards, where the

     only way to get reaclly cool cards was to keep buying more.

     However, my friends in my gaiming group really enjoy Magic, though for
     some time

     we hadn't played it when we met. Since they were willing to try
     something new (roleplaying) and

     have me GM an AD&D campaign, I decided to give Magic a try. First I used
     one of their decks to

     play. Soon they all gave me all their commons that they don't use, and I
     created my own decks.

     Now I'm hooked. I have 10 decks myself, including cards I bought and
     received as a birthday

     present. Now I have cool uncommons and rares. I don't go to the
     tournaments, but I cannot

     get enough Magic playing. Since I just play with my group, we don't care
     about the so-called banned

     cards, so I play with Lightning Bolt for example. They use official
     decks when they go to

     tournaments. However, I'm starting to get an inkling to try a Sealed
     deck tournament.

     Pleh!

         Are you kidding?! Not only have I been going to semi-annual Cosmic
         Encounter weekend parties

         in Massachusetts (there's one coming up in July), but I'm currently
         running a game through

         e-mail. In fact, the gaming group where I play Magic and AD&D
         originally met just

         to play Cosmic Encounter. Oh no, nothing will ever replace my
         Cosmic. :-)
