Yes, I played MTG. I won a few local tourneys before the Pro Tour really started. My discard/land destruction deck was fun. Sedge Trolls, baby!

And let me share The Answer with everyone: NO, you cannot go back and play MTG anymore. It doesn't matter that you can pronounce "Kumano, Master Yamambushi" properly or that you wear deoderant. You will still get smoked by some 14 year old. Don't try it. I've endured the pain for all of us. LEARN FROM MY IGNORANCE!
