I use to be huge into the game and had built 9 incredible decks that were all black bordered with the oldest edition of the card and foil where available (even things like foil lightning bolts). One night I was at my local gaming shop that I had been going to for years, set my deck box down that had seven of the decks in it and a few minutes later they were all gone.
I had well over a thousand dollars in that box (I collected as much as played) and that pretty much killed the game for me. I tried getting back into the game a few times over the college years but it never really worked out. Only recently when my work bought everyone that wanted one a preconstructed Lorwyn set so we could have a tournament did I get back in the game.
I'm still not as big into the game as I use to be (as in I don't collect anymore and I still won't stay completely current) but I'm having fun with it again after a six or seven year break.
