I played in junior high but never had an allowance and didn't have the time to get a job so I stopped buying cards. Me and my friends still play draft tournaments every once in a while with all the commons I still have after I sold most of my rares.

My best original deck was a Type 1.5 White/Red Shard Phoenix-en Kor-Mogg Maniac combo deck. It had enough red cheese to beat any creature/weenie deck and with Disenchant could stop any combo deck. With a great sideboard it tore through every great deck, from Necro to Sligh to blue decks to Ernahmgeddon.

If I had the resources I probably would have gone on the Pro Tour.
