You, Magic, and Magic Online

How long have you played Magic?
Seventeen years more or less.

What is the first set you remember from Magic?
Buying Ice Age starter decks at the Barnes and Noble. I remember having lots of Arnjlot's Ascent.

How did you learn to play Magic, or who taught you? 
A bunch of friends in middle school played. I picked up the rules watching them play and eventually got some cards for one of my birthdays.

How long have you played Magic Online? 
Since Onslaught. When I got back into the game around that time I started an account.

Do you stream? If so, what's your channel URL? 
Not very often, but I have done it in the past. http://www.twitch.tv/ceciliajupe

How often do you draft on Magic Online?
About once a month I'll do a couple of drafts. My logs on this computer say I've done 30 this year.

How often do you play Constructed on Magic Online? 
Almost all the time. If I'm logged in, I'm usually battling the two and six man queues. Occasionally I'll play
Daily Events if I really like my deck.

Do you play any casual formats on Magic Online? 
I'll play some when I think I'm tilting. I have a couple of fun decks I really enjoy playing in the casual room, and I'll play some Commander from time to time.


Magic Online's Beta Client

Have you tried the Wide Beta client? 
Yes

What's your favorite change that has been made? 
Separate windows for chat and games. Just more flexibility as far as what goes where.

Favorite formats to play on Magic Online: 
Standard, Legacy, Modern, Classic (soon Vintage I hope!)

Favorite draft format: 
SSE is pretty high up there.

Favorite Magic Card: 
Strangleroot Geist

Favorite piece of Magic art: 
Orcish Settlers

Favorite Planeswalker card: 
Venser, the Sojourner


Return to Ravnica

What do you think of Return to Ravnica? 
Draft is pretty good, better than old Ravnica only. Standard is fine, but Sphinx's Revelation is lame.

Did you play during the original Ravnica? 
Yes, it was when I first fell in love with constructed.

Favorite guild to draft in Return to Ravnica? 
Izzet. I love Teleportal and Nivix Gildmage.

What's your favorite non-rare first pack first pick in Return to Ravnica draft? 
Thoughtflare.


Silly Questions

If you were to get a Magic tattoo (or already have one) what would it be? 
Probably just the Azorius guild symbol.

If you could play Magic against anyone, who would it be and why? 
I wish I could have played with my dad. He was around when I was just learning, but passed away before I got good enough to teach him.

If you could play Magic Online against any villain AI from the movies, which would it be? 
Agent Smith from The Matrix

Top 10 Homelands Cards

It came up earlier, so here they are:

Top 10 Cards from the Homelands Expansion

1. Memory Lapse
2. Merchant Scroll
3. Serrated Arrows
4. Ihsan's Shade
5. Spectral Bears
6. Sengir Autocrat
7. Autumn Willow
8. Eron the Relentless
9. Sea Sprite
10. Leeches

Worst set of all time? Hardly! Prophecy is far worse!

Top 10 Cards from the Prophecy Expansion

1. Foil
2. Mageta the Lion
3. Rhystic Study
4. Glittering Lynx / Glittering Lion
5. Spiketail Hatchling / Spiketail Drake
6. Alexi Zephyr Mage
7. Avatar of Woe
8. Rebel Informer
9. Abolish
10. Flameshot

Man, that was tough. I suppose I'll honorable mention Chimeric Idol, since it was probably the most played card from the set, but it's just been way outclassed over the years.

So these are the highlights from what are in my opinion the two worst Magic sets. (I have Legions as the third worst, if you were curious).
