Star Wars CCG - First game I ever played, has great "diversity", but is very easy to "break".
Star Trek CCG - Lost a lot when they transitioned to second edition. Does have that whole "player interaction" problem. Nothing beats winning due to 10,000 Tribbles, though...
DuelMasters - I built a couple of decks, since a few people I know play it. Feels a lot like playing a draft game of Magic... not as bad as others would make it seem.
YuGiOh - Built a deck for the same reason as DuelMasters. This game has a lot of problems with card power, money issues.
Lord of the Rings - I've never won at this one, but it's quite a bit of fun. Not for the faint of heart, though...
Legend of the Five Rings - Totally awesome in multiplayer, lacks a bit with only two people.
Wars TCG - Plays like a mix between the old Star Wars CCG and Magic. Ridiculously addictive, and quite fun. Been playing this one a lot recently...
Vampire (or Jyhad, for those old-timers) - Have yet to make a deck for this, but it's another awesome multiplayer game. And really, really cheap to play...
Battletech (a.k.a. "advanced Magic") - That describes it well. Wish I hadn't sold off my cards for this one...
The only game I really play anymore is Magic, I think I still have some cards from the Decipher Star Wars CCG. I wished I would have gotten into Deadlands though, that game looked pretty fun.
I've played: VS, Pokemon, WWE Raw Deal, WWE With Authority, the Dragonball Z CCG, the Sailor Moon CCG, and Yu-Gi-Oh! All couldn't stand up to MTG (although With Authority was great for someone who is a fan of wrestling, too bad it's dead now)
OMG I loved Warlord, I still have my Black Tom deck. Too bad no one plays it around here. I also played DBZ, Duel Masters, Yugioh (won well over 1000 playing that game.) Netrunner, L5R (god, also loved that game) and just about everything else under the sun. Except none of those (except yugioh, but I despise that game.) are really played around here. VS is played lightly and I like the game, it reminds me alot of Warlord.
I play the old Decipher Star Wars CCG, though not very much at all anymore. I also play Pokemon occaisionally. What I do have an opprotunity to play some of, currently, is 7th Sea, which is quite well designed.
A significant portion of my gaming is non-electronic, non-collectable.

I started out playing pokémon when it came out then started to shy away from it after neo came out, after that my brother got me into Magic. When Vs. came out my brother bought a couple of starters because he heard of the high prize rating so I got the crappy cards from the starter and bought a booster pack which contained a shiny beatdown, but I got bored with it. I got these weird little Pirates of the Red Seas game card/ships for christmas and they are pretty fun seeing as how you only need one pack to play lol, that's pretty much it.
CCGs/CMGs that I've played at one time or another:
MTG
BattleTech (still fun!)
Star Trek
Star Wars (Decipher original)
Star Wars (WoTC)
Pokemon
Mage Knight
MechWarrior
HeroClix
Crimson Skies
MLB Showdown
NFL Showdown
Vs
MLB SportsClix
Dragonball Z
L5R
LotR
Whew! That's a lot! Though I only have cards from MTG, BattleTech, MLB Showdown, NFL Showdown, and minis from HeroClix, Mage Knight (1.0, damn you WizKids!), and SportsClix. If anybody hands me a deck for the above games, though, I can still play.
And that doesn't count the non-collectable card games I play, like:
Chez Geek
Chez Greek
Chez Grunt
Chez Goth
Zombies
Knightmare Chess
Munchkin
Jeez, I have WAY too much time on my hands!

Before Magic, I was huge into the Decipher Star Wars CCG. I still have about a dozen decks that were competitve during thier time. I stopped playing after Lucasfilm took the lisence from Decipher and gave it to Wizards. That game was awesome, it was a shame the way it ended.
OMG I loved Warlord, I still have my Black Tom deck. Too bad no one plays it around here. I also played DBZ, Duel Masters, Yugioh (won well over 1000 playing that game.) Netrunner, L5R (god, also loved that game) and just about everything else under the sun. Except none of those (except yugioh, but I despise that game.) are really played around here. VS is played lightly and I like the game, it reminds me alot of Warlord.
Warlord is even more fun now... You should go to some of the warlord sites, www.warlordccg.com, www.temple-of-lore.com, and www.lot.f2o.org, there's a lot going on in the game since Black Tom was played. (They made a Type 2-ish format, Black Tom is no longer legal, neither is Behlial, Duchess Brymin, or the wizard guildmaster, the name escapes me. However, the good thing is that while you can no longer play them in "Campaign Format", people actually still play "Open Format" which is like Type 1.)

In the past I have played: Pokemon (i still dont know why), 7th Sea, Warlord, Star Trek CCG (still got my Ferengi Deck... heh). MAgic is and has almost always been my favourite, but Star Trek, though it was incredibly complex, was still quite fun.

If i'm not forgettting anything, here's all the games that have ever played:
Shadowfist-THE BEST Multiplayer game EVER, and the only game where you could literally buy a precon and win
Bablyon 5-actually very fun
Yu-Gi-it sucked
Star Wars-the Decipher one, and i think i still have my storm trooper deck, nothing like beating someone's face with a dozen that don't stay dead
Star Wars-later one
L5R-still a great game
Pirates of the Caribbean-yes it's not really a ccg, but it's close enough
DBZ-i still have a deck out there for it
BattleTech-still fun, lol
Middle Earth ccg-might be the most orginal ccg every made, beside Magic
LotR
Ani-Mayhem-the only ccg i know of that you can play by yourself
Vs.
Marvel Overpower-and i still hate it
Warhammer 40k CCG
Magi-Nation
Rules only:
Cthulhu CCG-if they kept the beta rules it would have been the greatest game that ever lived, yes better than magic
Guardians-Beer,Babes and Money-you can't go wrong
SpellHammer
Sailor Moon-hurray!!
Games that know the rules for that aren't ccgs:
Warhammer
Warhammer 40k
Mordheim
War Machines
I've always wanted to play NetRunner too. That and Mythos.
Magic: Number one with a bullet, baby. LOTR: Not a bad game. Got bored with it eventually, though. Babylon 5: Pretty good game. Unintuitive rules and lack of any other players killed it for me. Battletech: Decent game, but too much like Magic and not nearly as good. I was only into it VERY briefly.
Other Games:
Settlers of Catan: Excellent game. Get together and swear at your friends. Not so good with players of differing skill levels, though. Risk 2210: Always a good game. Easy to learn and fun to play. Risk Godstorm: Not as good as 2210, but similar. I'd reccomend it to 2210 players looking for a little variety. Betrayal at the House on the Hill: Excellent game with a horror theme. Incredible variety means you'll rarely play the same game twice. Carcassone (hunters & gatherers): Great game to just pull out and waste an hour or so between flights, etc... Puerto Rico: Very entertaining game of trade and screwing over your buddy. Munchkin: Always good for a few laughs. Especially in the case of a Humongous Fungus. Do not truffle with the humongous fungus. Diplomacy: The ultimate game of no dice. You can only win by being crafty with your alliances and downright machiavellian. Shogun/Samurai Swords: Kinda like enhanced Risk in Feudal Japan. Plus ninjas! Very good game. Axis and Allies: Good game, but very time consuming, and not much fun unless you have at least three people who know the game well. History of the World: Another good game that you need lots of players and time for. A fairly linear game, but interesting, as you watch world history evolve through 7 epochs.
Yeah, that's more or less it.

"My parents were always on me to groom myself and wear underpants. What am I, the Pope?"
no other CCG's besides magic but i play tons of board games. actually lots of the ones listed above by griever;)
betrayal at house on the hill, settlers of catan, diplomacy, risk 2210, and blood feud of new york which isnt listed, in an awesome game.
Currently the only CCG I play is Magic, but I do also play:
Warhammer 40,000- Amazing miniatures game, I have a fully painted Necron army as well as Chaos and Tyranid ones in the process of being painted.
Zombies!!!- Great board game...I could play this for hours on end and stay entertained. I plan on buying some more zombies and the expansion this weekend.
I used to play: Pokemon, DBZ, LotR and Mage Knight (I'm glad I discovered WH:40K)...oh and of course the old Decipher Star Wars CCG (My uncle taught me to play this)
I still occasionally look through my old LotR cards and wish I could get people to play, especially with packs selling for like $1 or less at several nearby gaming stores. I might buy a pack or two of each of the new sets since I last quit and see what I've missed. I also hear Settlers of Catan is great and will probably pick it up soon.

I used to play Yu-Gi-Oh! I made a nice amount of cash playing it, at least $500 in cash in prizes. (that I sold) I just started playing it to make some cash at school by betting, but I got drawn in to it. It's very fun. I was a level 2 judge, and I only played for about 9 months. All of the money that I earned playing YGO, I spent on packs of MTG. That was before I discovered eBay... Lots of wasted cash... oh well.

I used to play that. Still have my decks, but I could never really find anyone to play it with.
Star Trek CCG - Lost a lot when they transitioned to second edition. Does have that whole "player interaction" problem. Nothing beats winning due to 10,000 Tribbles, though...

I quit magic in October of 2004.
I still own old Star Wars cards.
I wish I could find someone to play Vampire with. That was rocked a lot.
