When it was finally available for open beta, I quickly downloaded it and have been playing ever since. I stopped playing Magic again in 2016 because of commitments that simply did not allow for me to spend time and money playing a game I loved. This opened my eyes to other formats such as Commander (which is my favourite format), and later on, Pauper and Penny Dreadful (currently Penny is a MTGO-only format). By this time MTG Online had been around for at least 10 years (it was originally released in 2002). It wasn’t until 2012, just after I enlisted into NS, that I learnt about MTG Online (MTGO) and started playing Magic again but online this time. While I did update myself on new set releases and such, I never really bought a booster or played a game of Magic. By then most of my playgroup had already stopped playing MTG and constantly buying packs from new sets was unsustainable for a secondary school student. I went on a hiatus from MTG around 2006, just before Guildpact was released. We simply played for fun with what little we could afford. Terms like format, meta, competitive just wasn’t in our dictionary. So whatever card we pulled from boosters ended up in our decks.

We were kids with the most basic knowledge of MTG. That ended up being my favourite creature type ever since.īack then my playgroup never really played a fixed format. The very first Rare I ever pulled was a Brood Sliver. I still remember my first booster pack from World of JJ at Choa Chu Kang MRT. A friend of mine introduced me to MTG and I got hooked. Back then I wasn’t playing MTG, but Pokemon and WWF. I first started playing Magic when I was primary 5 back in 2003, during the Onslaught block, I think Legions set had just been released.
