I bought a shadowmoor theme deck last night  My friends were slowly but surely getting back into mtg this year, and I was resisting due to money shortages, but as much as I love playing my old goblin deck, there's just too many new goblins I needed to have to round my deck out. So I gave in. And today I made a long list of all the singles I want to buy

you'll see! Cards are much easier to work with...you don't have to convert, or paint, or do anything...you just sit there listening to the 12 year old card players insult your mother while they kick the crap out of you with the internet deck they had their dad buy them to make up for the father's lack of interest in their lives! Trust me, it's awesome!
I'm not bitter...really!

I love Magic. Great game. More significantly for me, *amazing* artwork. Can't really afford it though. I've often thought of opening a game store. Heaven knows I'd have NO competition for at least a 400km radius around me. Then I think of having to deal with the type of folks Bandar mentions and my will shrivels and dies.

Sometimes we get teenagers and little kids at our local store and they might buy a pack of cards if your lucky.

Sometimes we get teenagers and little kids at our local store and they might buy a pack of cards if your lucky. I agree to a point. At the one local game store we have, the teens and tweens all photocopy one shared rulebook, IF they bother to read the actual rules at all. We call CCG's "Free Day Care" because the parents drop the kid off with his cards and maybe money to buy a soda and the shop has to keep tabs on them all day while they "play cards". But, the stinky, stereotypical gamer here is not much better. They have discovered the internet and what they do buy, they usually buy there, they just play in the store using the store's tables and terrain, which they break. And on Saturdays... You can't even go in the gaming side without a gas mask. I think it's the comic book half of the store that keeps it in business... Now, to be fair, I don't buy anything there either, but it's because they won't carry Infinity or pretty much anything else I'm interested in. I always wanted to open a store, basically as a money losing tax deduction so I could do it the way I wanted it done and kick out the riff raff and not care. But since I'm not rich, I can't do it. But I would have kick ass gaming tables and lockers and what not, but charge for their usage, and try to find other ways to minimize the losses.
