Hi all,
I'm honestly not sure exactly when I started playing Magic, but it was around 1999 or 2000. I think it was mainly because I found the pictures cool. Kavus in particular. The 3rd grade me loved Kavus. I played very casually at summer camp and with my brother's friends until about 2005. Didn't really get back into Magic again until 2011 when I found friends at college to play with.
We played pretty casually until my friends started getting into Standard when Innistrad was released. After that it became increasingly hard to play with them as I was still playing almost entirely with cheap cards from 7th Edition to Onslaught block. Furthermore, they were becoming better players from playing at FNM. I finally followed suit and started playing Standard with them early in 2012. My first Standard deck was a Birthing Pod deck I have very fond memories of.
Magic has become a pretty significant part of my life since then. I currently play Standard, Modern, and EDH. While I don't play Legacy yet due to cost and skill barriers, I think it is the best format and will play it someday. Limited isn't really my thing, so I rarely draft or play sealed. I spend a lot of time (and money) at my LGS, and when I'm not there I'm brewing decks or reading about Magic online. I also try to go to bigger tournaments whenever there is one nearby.
My favorite color has always unquestionably remained G. After that it's hard to say if I prefer U or W. Not a huge fan of B so you'll rarely find me playing Swamps. My favorite color combinations are GWU, RUG, GW, and UR. I like playing ramp spells, drawing cards, and turning dudes sideways.
tl;dr version: Hi, I like Magic.
