#MTGIntro seems like a cool idea.
Started Playing: 1994ish
Favorite format: Whatever lets me play with old cards.
Favorite card: Sinkhole
Playstyle: I like building decks around a theme. I had a black card/land denial deck. Green Red where the stone giants tossed flaming spiders at my opponent. White Red I hurt myself but I hurt you more.

I see we're redoing our Magic intros... as this account is already a #MTG-specific one, my (pinned) #introduction post covers a lot of this, but it still looks like fun, so:
Started playing: 1️⃣ 9️⃣ 9️⃣ 6️⃣
First pre-release: probably Urza's Saga? It was a long time ago in any case.
Favorite format: Kitchen table casual constructed
Favorite card: How could I pick just one? But also, it's gotta be Dark Ritual :black: :black: :black: 💥
Playstyle: Any and all, but I like to make my own builds, so I end up running jank a lot. Recently been enjoying Standard budget aggro on Arena, though.
Guild: no preference
Shard/Wedge: no preference
Plane: Dominaria all the way, baby! Excited to visit #Zhalfir too, since it's a principal setting from my very first Magic set (Mirage). I've been fond of Jamuraa and anything adjacent to it ever since.
Arena Avatar: Currently Aragorn; previously Teferi
Fun MTG Fact About Me: I have literally spoken the words "it's too bad Wizards stopped doing Magic cruises before I'd heard about them because now I would definitely go" out loud to my spouse, and she stayed with me anyway 💞 -
