    To get started:

    1) I'm from Moscow, Russia
    2) I started playing around 2003 (with Legions and Scourge), my younger brother taught me. However, I didn't get my DCI card until 9-th Edition (mostly due to regular Russian Organized Play fuck-ups at the time). I've been playing very actively recently, not missing a single weekend :)
    3) Yes, I do. My limited rating is 1740, and constructed rating is ~1625.
    4) Nearly qualified to Russian Nationals-2006 (one win short of Top-4), Top-4'd at Moscow Open-2006. Qualified for Russian Nationals-2007.
    5) I certainly like Limited more. Of all constructed formats, my favourites are Extended and Standard. I'm primarily an aggro player. This year I qualified with RGW-Zoo.
    6) No, I don't, but I'd like to. Bloody modem connection...

    Meatwarz:
    too shy :)

    At least what I can remember:
    1) Top-4 at Moscow Open 2007 (constructed part, 100+ players)
    2) Held 1st spot at magic League (www.magic-league.com) for several weeks
    3) Numerous Top-8s and Top-4s at local 30+ Standard tournaments
    4) A great deckbuilder and a nice guy :)

  • 1) I am from Moscow, Russia
    2) Oh... One day I saw a few MTG cards in hands of an old friend of mine. I asked him if he knew how to play.I had already known about this game,and this was a great chance for me to start playing M:TG, because it`s much funnier to play with your friend together than to play alone. Anyway my friend sucked in rules: we played without upkeeps, summoning sickness (that`s why he beat me in every game with his fast flying creatures). But everything changed when my brother read Comprehensive Rules. After that my friend was very surprised to know that instants could be played on opponents turn ("What do you mean "Counter that"? It`s not even your turn!"),that creatures could be blocked by more than one creature and so on... I`m really glad to have such a wise and intelligent brother. BTW he still gives me MTG-masterclass lessons (^__^).
    3) Yeah, I should say so. My DCI number is №98041215.
    Limited (as of 2007-04-23)
    1604 rating67 matches
    Constructed (as of 2007-04-23)
    1599 rating4 matches
    4) I haven`t had any serious achievement so far but I`m trying hard (^__^)
    5) I like constructed more, but I can`t say for sure which style of deck I prefer.
    6) Nope. Dial-up sucks a lot =((

    1) Szczecin, Poland
    2) started when urza's saga was released, than i had quite a long break. I started playing again just before TS was released.
    3,4,5,6) I used play only casual with friends, so i don't have DCI. I started to play online with MWS few months ago. I plan to participate in FNM and start my real career with mtg ;P . Irl i have WG Saprolings deck, which unfortunately doesn't seem be effective while playing online. When playing online i use mono g aggro/haste deck.

  • We're all Slavs here! We should be using Slavio! ;p

    Sorry for not posting in this thread yet, I'm currently learnig stuff for my upcoming exam session and whenever I do that, I get forgetful.

    1) Warsaw, Poland
    2) after Stronghold, before Exodus
    3) I do have a DCI number, but I don't remember my rating, since I haven't participated in anything since Scourge, when...
    4) I took Top 4 in the giant Warsaw prerelease (we all split prizes, so maybe I would have won! :>)
    5) I'm all about the Sealed. I don't even like drafts that much.
    6) I use MTGO to play casual games with a weird budget deck I inherited from the previous owner of the account and I think I'm finally gonna start wasting money on those league things they have there. Anybody have some cheap tickets I could buy? ^^

    So you know the GP Stockholm winner? That is pretty cool :>

  • 1) Aberdeen, Scotland
    2) End of Onslaught block. Not 'properly' until end of Kamagawa, beginning of Rav.
    3) Yep. Constructed 1660 or so. Limited 1800. Never get to play Constructed :(
    4) Made top 8 of a 256 man PTQ Geneva at Worlds in Paris last year.
    5) Limited is far better. However when playing Constructed, prefer to run aggro. Loving Dragonstorm though...
    6) Yep. midi24 online but I try not to spend too much time / money on there

    For the record - 48889381 ;)

  • 1) North Carolina, USA
    2) A friend taught me how to play on a camping trip back in the 5th grade. I guess that was back in 1995.
    3) Composite rating 1601. I'm really more of a casual player.
    4) Achievements? Um, I haven't poked my eye out yet.
    5) I guess I play Limited more often, but I think I like constructed a little bit better.
    6) Not an online player

    Thanks for stopping by, you guys.
    Thanks for breaking my cow lamp.

    1) I live in Los Angeles, California (United States)


    2) I learned from friends in school sometime in 1997 I think (not long before Stronghold was released).


    3) At the time of this posting, my relevant ratings:

    Constructed: 1894
    Limited: 167_ (don't remember exactly)

    Also in the top 50 in the world for Team Constructed currently :)


    4) Qualified for Pro Tour: Charleston (Team Constructed) by winning a PTQ. Attended the PT and finished 15th (money finish but not quite high enough to qualify for the next PT).


    5) Limited is fun but I don't expect to ever win a limited PTQ. Constructed is where my "talent" is.

    I tend to not play control, as I feel like reactive strategies come with inherent weaknesses, but I will play whatever deck testing shows to be strong, regardless of my own preferences.


    6) I recently started playing on MTGO (just drafting really, constructed is an investment that I don't have the funds to make currently). Account name: svjchtr

  • 1) Originally, I'm from Belgium, but currently I live in Coventry, UK.
    2) I started playing during Mirage, together with a classmate.
    3) My limited rating: 1780. Constructed: 1596 :-( I hate to netdeck, and rather play a concoction of myself. That turns out to be a bad strategy, because you often lose to fine tuned netdecks.
    4) Drafting a deck, and remaining undefeated throughout the entire draft. I didn't lose a single game in a field with at least 3 1900+ players.
    5) I currently enjoy limited more. For constructed, I only play standard.
    I mostly like mid-range control decks (think of the current Korlash decks), because you see both sides of the aggro-control fence.
    6) I don't play on MODO. Cardboard magic it is for me!

  • 1) I'm from Moscow, Russia
    2) I started playing around 2004 (Darksteel),
    3) Yes, I have DCI
    5)My favourite constructed format is Legacy.I have 4 decks: UWR Landstill,UW Weenie,Mono White Weenie and High Tide
    6) No, I don't

    1) Where are you from?
    Belgium

    2) When and how did you start playing Magic?
    Originally came into contact with it through a friend. (around the time of Portal Second Age I believe) Ultimately bought my first B/U Onslaught deck although I knew only one other person who played it. ^^

    I started playing in casual format around the time Mirrodin came out, and I stil am to this very day, although I'm not set as much on the new sets.

    3) Do you have a DCI card? If you do, what's your rating?
    Nope.

    4) What are your acievments at the game so far?
    Euhm...casual T1.5 decks?

    5) What do you enjoy more, Limited oк Constructed? What constructed formats do you prefer? What style of deck do you like?
    Constructed by far. Favourite format would have to be Legacy. I enjoy older cards more than the new stuff they keep printing. Favourite deckstyle is probably beatdown, with a personal preference for green and mana acceleration.

    6) Do you play online, via MTGO or by any other means?
    I occasionaly play with a friend through Magic Workstation, that's about it.

    1. Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
    2. Found out about it from a couple of kids playing it at a campsite in August 1996.
    3. Yes, and I havent played in a tourney in a year, so probably no rating.
    4. I own a Sliver Queen, Morphling, and Tundra. Plus my goblin deck pawns all! 8)
    5. Constructed, and I prefer vintage because I don't have to buy new cards. Any style of deck (Timmy/Johnny/Spike) is good.
    6. No.
