Is it just me or do most Magic players have hygeine problems? Because everytime I step inside my local Magic shop to play a tournament I'm overwhelmed by the horrible smell. Has this happened to you? Let me know.

Most non-athletic activites attract social outcasts, and usually they aren't outcast because they can't kick a ball straight or run for a long time...

Interesting enough, at The Whiz today somebody stepped into the room and mentioned that he liked Type 1 tournaments better than Type 2 because it was obvious that the Type 1 players did, in fact, shower.
But if it happens again, throw sticks of deodorant in with your trades.

Any time I'm at a tourney, it smells. Part of it is due to the fact that when you cram a lot of people into a hot room, it's gonna smell like ass.

I remember going to a local tourney, one kid was there that had the nuts body odor, and we had this fan next to us. It was savage, I felt like I was gonna die, got blasted by a rancid odor every like 5 seconds (fan was on like rotate.) I just dont understand it, I can't operate correctly for the whole day if I dont take a shower as soon as I wake up. /shrug

I've been to a tournament where the store owner said the prizes would be slightly better next time if more people showered.

Not only do I shower everyday but I wear cologne (and no it isn't club man  ). I think that the problem is that ventilation in most rooms is not sufficient for the amount of bodies that are occupying it. Furthermore, MTG does seem to attract quite a few individuals that are not "main stream". Apparently one of the manifestations of not being mainstream means not taking a shower. Side story: I have lived in Vienna for almost 2 months now. I went to magic corner (biggest MTG place in Vienna?) and talked to some of the people (very nice). The resident funk was there and so was the usual lack of girls. Then I was like whoah...the ladies in Europe are way hotter on average than ones in the US, and I had a french white, and 2 toscanos in my briefcase and I was going to see some ladies I knew that night. Concluding pointless side story with a postulate we can all agree on: BOOBS > Blood Moon >>>>>>> Stinky people |

Its weird, I think my playtest team is the only one ever which is comprised solely out of jocks. All of us run track all year long, yet we find the time to play Magic whenever convenient. Yet I will admit that I have yet to come across any other Magic players/Athletes. I think that the competitive element of the game is what draws my friends and I to the game. For the non-athletic, the game provides an outlet for their competitive urges and a chance to be a winner. Yet being the track-man that I am, I recommend to all to participate in some sort of physical activity multiple times per week, as it is a great way to let out agression and anxiety as well as staying in good health. Though if you do exercise, please take a shower and put on deoderant, or tournament sites will smell even worse! |

Depends. Are the Blood Moon foiled or not? |

Those of you who have ever been in a racketball center men's dressing room will know that attending an average mtg tourney is like walking through a field of flowers by comparison, smell-wise. |

Different tourneys from different areas have distinct smells. A shop that I used to play in Maine called J & R Comics used to attract visitors that had the exact smell of moldy cheese mixed in with shitty underpants. What does you're local tourney smell like?  |

The intense body odor of man Is one reason I don't go to magic tuesdays. Specially mixed with the smell of fish aka NOSTY girls. Tip to all Magic players, bring a thing of Axe or some type of spray to Magic nights, with a bar of soap and shampoo.

One thing we have done at the whiz, is we had Febreeze (removes the smell of illegal substances) and we would spray the smelly kids when they had their backs turned. It generally makes the place much more enjoyable.
