Hey folks. I live in the greater Pittsburgh area (the rusty, decrepit bit), I'm 37 and have been playing Magic off (about the same amount of time playing and not playing scattered through those years) since Unlimited (though pretty much all of my old cards are gone now) . Almost all of my personal history with Magic has been kitchen table except for the past few months when a friend (who was in the same boat as me, playing off and on for about the same number of years) and I have begun attending standard / limited events at our lcs. While I wouldn't say I do drastically well there I guess I'm a bit of a “Johnny player” and I enjoy the few wins I do get with my drastically off-meta decks.
As a side note, I work in an emotional support classroom which several of my students play MtG (no small part of the credit for this goes to WotC who sent me several welcome decks to distribute among said students to give them a start) which is awesome. If any of you folks happen to be educators, if it is appropriate for your classroom, I would highly suggest doing the same.
