Since I haven't done this yet, here it goes.

My name is Kor, 24 years old, living in the Netherlands and I've gotten into magic around the year 2000.
started with a portal: Three kingdoms starter set, but never really got into it to the point of buying boosters or additional card packs.

I stopped playing when Wizards introduced a new card frame/layout in 2003, partially because I disliked the new frame/layout,
but mostly because the people I played with stopped playing and I didn't find any other players.

I can't exactly remember how, but in the summer of 2007 I met some new people that, to my surprise, played magic. this was around the time Lorwyn was about to be released, and being a fan of elves and fae, I decided to 'restart' and bought a starter deck. Soon after, I realized I didn't quite like the fae, but I discovered treefolk and 'the game was on!' I built a treefolk deck and actually started winning games! This was a pretty good motivation to keep on playing, and so I did. I own a variety of decks now, playing a bunch of different formats and having a great time every time I pick up my cards to play. I'm still rocking the treefolk deck, and it's a pretty decent multiplayer deck, even with the eldrazi hanging around.

I came across this website when I was looking for ideas for a new deck and discovered the 'vintage' format because of this. Even though I still haven't built a vintage deck I've been lurking here for a while and will probably get a bunch of 'staples' [as they're called here] in the near future.

I'm hoping to learn heaps more about the game, how to be a 'better' player and the 'vintage' format in general by browsing these fora. It's been a pleasure hanging around in the IRC chatroom accompanying this website, and will hopefully be around for quite some years.

96. You get used to never be soccer world champion  Twisted Evil

Btw a funny thing about the Netherlands is that you don't get one or two Euro Cents change back in supermarkets or whereever. Say you bought something that costs 99 cents and give one Euro, they just don't give you the one cent back. Is that common in the Netherlands? At least it was where I was a few years ago (Zeeland).
In Germany you always get your Cent. People would be upset if this cent was held back.

They'll give you back one/two eurocents change at Aldi [German chain of supermarkets iirc] but stores like Super de Boer and Albert Heijn won't do this.. They'll round up the amount there.. I think that's because it's really annoying when there's someone counting out like.. 76 cents in 1/2/5 eurocent coins.

It just takes some getting used to, I guess

I signed up for this too and I do really like it Very Happy

Will there be more tokens added, since I could only choose between 8 different ones?

All I have built is a Jund deck but I'll add a few more decks tomorrow, just gotta see what appeals to me ^^'

I also requested an invite for the group, I hope it came through because I didn't get a confirmation message or anything.

My nickname there is McDutch as well. Add me to your friends list if you will Smile
