I've been playing Magic: the Gathering since the Future Sight block, but really started kicking it into high gear around the Alara Block. That's when the rotations, block mechanics, and general in depth ideas of Magic sets came to my attention.

I've been playing Magic: the Gathering since the Zendikar block. Chris and our friend Travis got me into Magic and Ive been obsessed ever since. I have then went on to introduce Magic to half a dozen other people, spreading the love of the game throughout.
I also play video games, read comics and love to cook.
I am a pharmacy technician at a local grocery store.

Just started getting into MTG as of MBS, and totally love it. I'm in the "sponge phase" of getting as much info about paper and online as possible. Pauper seemed like a relatively safe format to focus on as a newbe.
I am Head of Sales for a cosmetic manufacturer in New Jersey USA

Username: nyukon Name: Nathan Younkin- Head Gaming Coordinator at the Dugout in Sartell, MN
I have been playing magic for about 16 years, I took a bit of a break when the Kamigawa block came out but was never completely out either I have been a Magic the gathering coordinator for about 2 years now. The store I represent has been an advanced rating store for about a year now and we are gaining more players every week. Pauper has put us on the map in our area as it is our #1 format that everyone loves. I am married with 2 kiddos Scott who is 3 and Serra who is 1 and my last Kiddo will be born the end of this month. I served in the Army National Guard for 7 years until my knee prevented me from continuing my job as a M1A1 Tank Mechanic. I am currently going to school to be an Architect so I can get in the remodeling business end of construction. I am primarily a Pauper player but I do occasionally play in standard tournaments but I am more of a casual player who really just enjoys the game!
You can check out our store Facebook page by searching for:Dugout Sports Cards & Gaming

When I started playing Magic online in February my wife thought it was another fad as I tend to jump from game to game every few months. But I seriously caught the bug. I love the idea of eternal formats because buying cards that rotate out sucks, so I've been playing pauper for six months and have just started dabbling in Modern. In paper I play Commander/EDH which I originally thought would be cheaper/easier than some of the other formats. The opposite is true in both cases, but it's a blast.
In real life I'm a 911 dispatcher in Portland, OR. Been married 13 years, and have a daughter 8 and a son 6. Both kids are interested in magic and we play open hand games with some paper pauper decks I've got.
Thanks Chris and Matt for all the work you've done building this community. It's a ton of fun.

My name is Scott Lorton. I started playing back with Urza Block in '98 but stopped after a couple of years due to the cost and time I spent on it. My boys are 10/12 so I bought 3 Intro packs just to see if they would care. They woke up the next morning wanting to play again. So I started playing again. No constructed for me (not even Pauper yet). I just love Limited. Picked up the Podcast episode 3 and have been following right along. Joined MTGO and then my wife cut me off $$$ after the first month. So Pauper is looking better and better Have fun!

Username: Psychotron Realname: Robert James Green aka Rob, Student at University of MN Studying Geography, and Target Team Member.
I've been collecting magic since tempest because one of my friends started to play never really knew how to play, but loved the artwork at the time. Fast forward to the end of Onslaught Block I had dropped the other game was playing like a bad habit because they banned all of the fun cards. So my friends, and I jumped ship over to magic, and have been playing ever since.
I mainly play legacy, and standard, but I have been dabbling in, and out of Pauper because my buddies don't want to play I rarely get the chance to play. I love Tribal type decks like Elves, and Illusions.
I'm a gamer mostly old school with Dreamcast, but I do play some PS3 with Rock Band, and Wii with SSBB, and A fun game called Ikaruga. I'm a recovering WoW addict haven't played since feb. which is nice.
On Modo My username is the same as this, and as for PSN I'm PsychoGreenZero.
Also Thanks to Matt, and Chris for all the hard work you guys put into the show. And the T-shirt I rock it at my local card shop Legion Games.

Name is Eric Eilers I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan I have a 3 year old son (Elijah) a -5 month old boy cooking and a 30 year old wife (Theresa) I work as a Quality Engineer for a company that sources large gray iron castings from China (currently do not like it)
My friend gave me the Treefolk precon deck from Lorwyn back in 2008 for my birthday and I've been hooked since. I did play on MTGO for about a year but really just stopped and never went back to it for I don't know what reason. I may get back into it. I only play pauper and EDH, about the same percentage of time, but I am looking at Modern due to the card collection I have.
My other hobby is fishing...I love to fish.

Real name: Steve Rudolph MTGO username: raven13
I got into Magic last year after I bought Duels of the Planeswalkers on a whim (those games should be classified as gateway drugs). As much as I'd love to get into paper Magic, I don't have any friends who play and between working full time, my wife's work schedule, and my 3-year-old I haven't had much of a chance to make it to an FNM, so I'm planning to play mainly on MTGO once I get a little more confident and stop so many dumb mistakes in DotP 2012. Hopefully I can hook up with some of you guys online for some casual hands of pauper.

A'right, let's give this a shot. Username: GrumpyOldGamer Webname: GrumpyOldGamer on MTGO and everywhere else on the web for MtG related stuff. Galrick on Live and PSN and everywhere else on the web for Gaming stuff. @grumpogamer on Twitter. I'm something of a born again gamer. Used to play Magic extensively and competitively years ago, then stopped gaming completely for about eight years. Started again with Video Games about two years ago, and got back into Magic shortly after - much to my wallet's dismay. Right now, I mainly focus on Commander/EDH, Modern and Pauper. I also have a Cube, though unfortunately I do not get to use it often enough.
