Nothing else.  Except FNM, but only to win foil cards to trade for amazing Vintage cards and get events for player rewards (to get Foils I can trade for amazing Vintage cards, again).  I barn a deck for that every week.  I don't own enough T2 cards to make a deck these days.

Just Vintage. I used to play Standard back when Ravager was first stomping faces, but then I realized I like playing with moxen too much to play Standard for long.

In principle, just Vintage. Also: T4, but you didn't have that listed as an option.

I *used* to play standard (up to about Invasion block, I'd say) and very occasionally, Limited, which I like, but never really find the time for as I enjoy Vintage more.

I moved to a smaller community in Newfoundland, so the magic is very limit compared to the big city.
I'm the only one with power, drains, workshops, bazaars! Sad So its not much fun ... Plus they aren't big fans of proxies ...
There's always big discussions on proxies, and we have the babbling idiots who say its bad ... Sad

Anyways, lately I've been playing all sorts of formats ...
T1, T2, Extended, Legacy, Draft ...

T2/Draft has left me really hating the game. hahahah
If you don't have Jitte's or pack Jitte's in a deck, there's like a 95% chance (made up statistic for the anal retentive) you are going to lose.

"I'm not winning cause I don't have Jitte's"
*Goes out and pays a lot of money for Jitte's*
"Crap I'm still not winning cause I'm not drawing my Jitte's but my opponent is, who said T2 is more diverse than T1?!"

Draft has been making me mad too. It's not like the decks I draft are bad, its the fact I don't draw any land. I played in 2 tournaments in a row, where I got no more than 3 mana every game. (17 land out of a 40 card deck.) So the 3rd Draft I played in, I played 19/40 lands (which is RIDICULOUS), and still I drew no lands ... I was quite pissed, I went 0-2 drop and I left to watch Wallace and Gromit! Smile

Extended will be a lot better once it rotates ... (I hope *gulp*)
I always lose to random decks like SHADOWS ... not once in one tournament, but twice.
I was playing Re-animator, and I play a guy playing shadows, with 8 mainddeck artifact/enchantment disruption. (He did that cause he knew I was playing) ... Sad sad sad sad meta ...

Legacy.
Meh, its an OK format. I just don't see the big craze about it! Sad
But I am pretty excited to see the new decks developing since there's an outburst of players playing it! Smile


T1 has always been my favorite format! But we play it once a month? and for a top prize of 2 packs? Sad

Anyways, thats my rant.

Almost exclusivly Vintage. A little draft when a new set comes out (1 box of boosters with 4), some Legacy playtesting and some 2 headed multiplayer with fun decks, but that's been a while.

Vintage whenever possible (which means rarely since I live in the middle of nowhere).

Legacy as often as people show up for tournaments, which averages every other week.

Booster draft when its actually fun. I loved drafting mirrodin, hated champions, I'm back to loving draft again with ravnica.

Possibly extended if there are good prizes at my store, although I think it might be kind of boring since its just every good deck in type 2 for the last 5 years. Also daze isn't legal, which makes the format terrible.

Maybe standard if the people at my store beg me enough.

I can't stand sealed or block.

I play:

Draft: because it's fun, it usually attracts enough people and it's one of the two formats that gets played Thursday night.

Standard: because it's the second format that gets played Thursday night, because Affinity was mad fun and because it was the format for Regionals.

Extended: whenever possible, because there are so many options and Psychatog is viable. I love Psychatog. Calculating you're opponents death by counting the cards in you're graveyard, and doing the math feels sooooooooooo good. Unfortunately I never get to play Extended so that kinda sucks.

Type 1: because of the casual atmosphere, and because some of the tournaments are hosed on sundays, when I don't have to work.

Type 4: because it's awesome and has replaced regular multiplayer in our group.

I don't play Legacy and the obscure formats because there are no tournaments for them. I usually don't play sealed because it's too random and I suck at it. Pre-releases are an exception.

In addition to Vintage, I play Legacy for relaxing and some Limited (but not much) because it's fun.

Vintage is what I like best, though. Even in the Legacy GP I'll be playing my pet deck (Show and Tell) and won't test anything else beforehand, because I don't want to bother.

I play extended when I can (which isn't often enough), but vintage is definitely my favorite format by far.

I like to play Vintage only, but I will help my teammates test for the Legacy GP.  I hate Legacy though.  In fact, I hate any format that involves "hardcasting creatures."

I'm always willing for any format.

The 2 conditions :

- Cards are available. ( I do not own much T2 cards so I have to borrow them )
- Have enough time to get prepared for the event if it's a tournament. ( Metagame, some playtesting, etc.. )

Vintage, Legacy, Extended, Standard, Draft, Sealed, Two-Headed Giant; whichever format allows me to make the most money at the time.  The more formats I play in the better overall Magic player I am.
