I have played MTG since 4ed way back in the day. Have played Pokemon, Yugioh, and WoW tcg and spend most of my time playing Warhammer 40k. Used to play a ton of UG Madness, Affinity, UR Vore, HeartBeat combo,and Merfolk. Yuigoh I always played Gadgets or Quikdraw Syncro. But I spend most of my days playing a ton of 40 and Hearthstone.
Played Pokemon as a kid. I went to that stuff at Borders almost every week, then went to one of those super trainer showdowns and won over 100 packs in the free-play area playing some accelerated haymaker decks. Was pretty hillarious since we had some of the hosts/organizers watching our table because of how ridiculously fast we (went with a group of me, my brother, and 2 friends) were earning packs. Combined got somewhere over 300 packs for free, LOL.
Also played MTG for about 3.5 years during high school. Was mostly a draft player, and played locally. Non-sanctioned tournaments = profit due to no entry fees :)
I used to play Yugioh way back in the day when you can lock people down with Yata Garasu. During the same time, I started playing Magic. I eventually quit Yugioh and took a Hiatus with Magic. I then came back from my Magic hiatus and started playing under the Legacy format. I sometimes play Legacy and Modern when I get free time which I rarely have.
This is where Hearthstone comes in as I can play it anytime I get free time.
I used to play Pokémon when I was like 12, then switched to Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic. I quit both in 2006 or 2007 because I was spending too much money... I had like 4000 cards each! I was also an official Yu-Gi-Oh judge, actually one of the most famous in my country. Good times.
If you were a judge why were you spending so much money lol
My best deck was my Blastoise deck. Deluge + Kaldeon would just wreck people. I also had Plasma Articuno and Plasma Lugia...such a beast card if played right. I made sure I kept a lot of energies for extra fuel, and I did pretty well in the tournament scene.
I have played MTG off an on since 1994 with some big breaks. Was a tourney player now I only pretty much do Drafts (similar to HS Arena) Was quite an adventure applying my MTG skills to Hearthstone. Not being able to block was an adjustment but for the most part it helped knowing MTG.
I'm here after hearing about this game on a Shadow Era forum. Played MTG for a number of years then stopped. Tried the many various digital TCGs for iPad. Shadow Era has been my main game until this dropped on iOS. Lots of similarities, so I'm enjoying them both.
Played a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh in my time, but I have never been able to find a locals in my hometown to play with some other players. Currently taking a long break from it as I wait for some cards to get (re)printed, and for this current stupid meta to switch into something more variable. I own a pretty snazzy Monarch deck and a Koa'Ki Meiru deck.

Monarchs are looking pretty good once the next pack comes out. The Monarchs Storm forth combined with Escalation of the Monarch lets you punish an opponents field so well. Even Escalation by itself can turn a Rainbow Kuribow into a Caius or Raiza.

You thought there would be something inspirational here didn't you?

Wait until Shadolls come out. Game's over
Monarchs aren't bad against them though. You can run Marco and D-Fissure in your side deck for the match up, and you rarely special summon more than once per turn, and that's just to tribute summon with. End of Anubis is even a potential tech pick that can just shut down shaddolls.

I'm not saying monarchs are bad against shadolls. I'm purely talking about how overpowered shadolls are as an archetype. They can fuse using materials from their main deck while getting those cards' effects off. How is that even remotely balanced?

Oh yeah, Shaddols are sick. Half of me thinks it's broken, and the other half just loves that a Fusion Archetype is being thought of as OP.

I've always been pretty competitive and have gone to lots of tournaments for the games I play.
For TCG's, I played Yu-Gi-Oh! from when it first came out through Force of the Breaker, then stopped when discovered Magic in ~2006 (Time Spiral Block). Yu-Gi-Oh!'s power creep and absurdly pricy cards and awful game balance (A deck I played 2 years before had 34 of 40 cards banned, for instance) make it far inferior to Magic, imo.

I am a Hearthstone Noob
I played Magic from Beta through Legends - usually Blue/Green combo decks.
I also played L5R from Gold through Samurai - I tried various different clans but usually came back to Iron Crane.

Greetings from Argentina!!!
I play Magic long time ago, since 1998 to 2004 with some breaks.
I play o lot of regionals and a couple of grand prixes.
I quit before was getting to expensive. I try a bit of MTGO but quit fast.
I play Tyrant in Kongregate pretty well :- )
But if you're judging events you can't play in them xD
I play Pokemon, and still do.
My best deck was my Blastoise deck. Deluge + Kaldeon would just wreck people. I also had Plasma Articuno and Plasma Lugia...such a beast card if played right. I made sure I kept a lot of energies for extra fuel, and I did pretty well in the tournament scene.

That doesn't cost money lol

I played some Magic, drafted but never really competed. Sold out of Magic because I didn't like the state of the game.
I only recently started playing with my old pokemon cards; set up a cube made with the original sets.
I play a fair bit of Dominion, not sure it counts, but very fun game nonetheless :p
Phoenix Shaman deck + guide:
