How old are we?

[Aetherium Slinky]

How old are you? I feel like Magic used to be a thing for 80s and 90s kids so a lot of players are in their 30s currently. With the rise of EDH I think there are younger people in the community, too, so I'm curious to hear how old we are. Additionally you may disclose when you started to play Magic, what your first format was, and what you play these days!


OP starts: I'm 30ish, started playing kitchen table Magic around Shadowmoor, had a longer break and came back to Magic when Tiny Leaders was a hot format and moved onto EDH when Tiny Leaders stopped being a thing.

Early 30s here.

Started playing the first time around Onslaught/Mirrodin. Played for probably a year or two, buying packs with my pocket money. Favourite card was Shepherd of Rot.

Came back in to it around Amonkhet because I love ancient egypt and the flavour appealed to me massively, and have played every week since.

You really caught me by surprise! I haven't seen many players of your generation. And from the very beginning, too!
