I got my first deck of Magic: The Gathering cards and intend to buy more tomorrow.

Nerd. I used to play it a lot during summer camp, but I've sort of outgrown it (though you never really completely outgrow it). Hell some of my friends still play Yu-Gi-Oh cards. So yeah you're a nerd, but you're not the world's biggest nerd.

It was like a sitcom! About 5 of us went in to this shop because someone wanted to buy some MTG or Warcraft cards or something and there is this deal on where you sign up to the newsletter and get a free 30-card deck, so almost all of us came out clutching MTG cards! I chose blue magic.

Nice. I had a white+blue deck. Blue were my attacking creatures/spells and white were my heal/stall ones. That game was a shitload of fun. If I were 13 I'd be playing it right now probably.

I think I'm going to go for a blue + red intro pack. I'm not sure whether I should play physically or online, though. They should make it easy to do both. Not sure who they'd manage it.

I've never played online so I can't help you there. I find most card games are more fun if you're physically in the room with the other person though.

A lot of people go through a card phase. I remember pokemon and Yu-gi-oh cards passing through my school. It was fun.

Of course. But I'd argue that you're in fact more of a nerd for playing Magic The Gathering.

I remember when Pokemon got big. They were banned from our school because of wild rumours about people being mugged for them. We never played it properly anyway, IIRC it was just reading the attack and deducting the points from the opponent's HP.

lol'd, similar story here. I think ours were banned just because they distracted kids from lessons, though.

I probably actually am a nerd. I watch My Little Pony and post on Minichan. Carl Sagan is on my phone wallpaper. The only thing I'm missing is the crippling social awkwardness and neck beard.

We played pogs in middle school. I would have played magic if I discovered it a year or two earlier than I did.

I played a little yu-gi-oh online (was some game I got for free in a shonen jump). It was really fun. There is strategy involved.

I wish I had kids so I could play with them. That would be fun.
