I'm sure that this one has happened to everyone. I'm currently in my freshman year of college, and made plenty of new friends and acquaintances - and remarkably, no nemes..es? - but lately I find myself pining for those from high school. Of course, the thing is, I haven't really gotten the best chance to commune with any of them, and it's been a matter of months. Assuming you wish to reestablish contact, what's the best way to go about it given a time factor of months or years?

The franchise MtG most resembles is Battlestar Galactica. Why? Its players exist in, at most, a dozen different models at any given point in time, with perhaps up to 3% variation, 5% if you're lucky.
Perhaps you could find them at lunch one day and then just ask them for like a cup of coffee or some such. Or sending an e-mail, basically detailing (not with much detail, if that makes sense) that you miss hanging out and you want to catch up with them.

This is something that happens to everyone. Friends go their separate ways after highschool and distance, time, and differing paths inevitably result is loss of connection.
Your best bet is email. It works no matter the distance and there's no risk of missing them like with a phone call. Email kept a couple of my highschool friendships alive after we all moved on. We aren't (nor will we ever be) as close as we were then, but we still keep in touch.
I've reconnected with quite a few people through Myspace. Some of them, I've been able to see in person again, some live too far away for that, and some just drop an e-mail from time to time.
A simple e-mail saying "How's it going, haven't seen you in a while..." is pretty much all you need to get the ball rolling.
After high school, mysteriously everyone whom i thought was such a great friend disappeared. i made a ton of mew friends, but after i trudged along in college those also faded as i met new people or they became close with other people. after college and i moved away, everyone whom i thought i was inseparable with got married, had kids, and got way to "adult" to hang out or call... or they moved very far away.
this will never go away. just keep always looking to surround yourself with good people and happy souls and you'll always have someone great in your life. but always know that they have their own life and won't necessarily be the same or even have much in common with you years from now. as you get older a couple of years blink by in an instant. the girl/guy you think you can't live without one year will be a distant memory in the near future. life changes quicker than you will be willing to let it, and now is the time to allow yourself to accept this process.
