What age were you when you started playing Magic, and why did you start playing?
Bored out of your mind and looking for some entertainment? I've got you covered:

I started when I was 9, as something to do with the people I knew.

I was like 10 or 11.
Clever deduction Watson! Maybe you can explain why Supergirl is trying to kill me.

18. I saw a Revised rulebooklet and read through it. Seemed interesting, and I was already a huge tabletop gaming nerd. Flash forward 18 years and I'm still playing.

Happened for me much the same way as Escef, only about a year later. I was 25 years old, it was about a week before 4th edition dropped, my friends picked up the game and said you gotta check this out. So I took home the Revised rulebook, and here I still am, 17 years later...

I think I played my first game roughly five years ago at 33 years of age. A co-worker and friend of mine was a former player at the time, and wanted to get back into the game, so he persuaded me to try it out. I played only with his decks at first, then borrowed some of his unused cards to try building my own, and eventually took the plunge and started buying my own cards.

I was ten. Pokemon was at the period that Haymaker beat everything but another haymaker. I played a little until Invasion blew me away. Good times.

Support Magic Fiction! Or Bolas will eat youYou should never explain layers to people unless one of the following is true: they're studying for a judge exam, you're both in a Ben Affleck movie and it's the only way to save the world, or you hate them.
We try to maintain the illusion that Magic cards are written in English.
Hell, if they steal from us, we'd be honored.
oh my god, AWESOME!
Then changing the Slivers was your idea! haha

Occassionally when catering, I've been put the task of arranging Fruit and Cheese or Grilled Vegetable platters. More than once a high class buffet has started with the mark of Phyrexia upon it. Since i've got a good eye for color so it looks great to people who don't get the "joke" (it's a niceley divided circle after all: the outline gives you 4-6 "regions" to work with), this has actually got me put on platter design more often, resulting in Phyrexia's presence at more private and industry events.
