You know what I miss playing? Magic: The Gathering. Why? Because it is a well constructed and developed game of strategy and fun. Does it have problems? Sure, annoying cards that create loop-holes and rule breaking, but still, the game was fun.

I played it for a long time, quit back in Ice Age (story of the game, right?), got back about the end of the Odyssey block, quit again because of Mirrodin, came back a bit during the Kamigawa block, but faded out due to lack of other players as the sets went on. I kept buying the cards, building decks I didn't play, always thinking, damn this was a fun game.

Perhaps the game will pick up some new interest so that some younger crowd will join in the game, giving it a revival. Even if you just like collecting pretty picture cards, Magic offers that too. Some of these cards are worth more than $100 - so there is definately a collectibilty.

I really need to reconstruct my Zombie deck - it used to be so sweet, I really would like to use it again.
