I was reading the rules for Swedish and I found it weird that Revised wasn't legal, but Legends and The Dark were legal, despite releasing later. Even weirder was that Summer Magic is apparently legal, even though it literally is Revised. Does anyone why it was done this way?

When did mtg turn? At what point did it jump the shark for you? We have been playing old boarder and it seems like a good point for stopping, but we’re there anymore sets that fit well with the older cards?

A friend and I signed up for a Tarot reading with a local fortune teller. It was $5 and we each received one reading each from the woman in charge. The idea was that we were supposed to let her reveal tarot cards and tell us our fortunes.

Instead of learning our fates, we decided to play Old School with ante from the Tarot deck. Naturally, we were using cards like [[Contract from Below]] and [[Jeweled Bird]].This drew a small crowd because it isn't something believers in the arcane see every day. The mystic found out, came over and told us that wasn't allowed and we needed to leave. I've never been kicked out before.

On the way out, I asked if we were being banned. They said no. We could come back on another day, but we had to have our fortunes read specifically and we couldn't play for keeps.

My wife made it obvious that after the kids were asleep that she wanted to have a go.

I showed up with my old school magic deck. I was kicked out and am now sleeping on the couch. She just doesn’t understand how hard it is for me to find a game.

A friend and I signed up to play in the Commander league at an LGS. It was $5 and we each received a booster of the latest set. The idea was that we were supposed to form a commander pod with other players.

Instead of playing Commander, we decided to play Old School with ante for the boosters. Naturally, we were using cards like [[Contract from Below]] and [[Jeweled Bird]].This drew a small crowd because it isn't something magic players see every day. The event organizer found out, came over and told us that wasn't allowed and we needed to leave. I've never been kicked out before.

On the way out, I asked if we were being banned. They said no. We could come back on another day, but we had to play commander specifically and we couldn't play for keeps.

Kicked out of a casino for playing old school magic.

A friend and I went to play Poker at a casino. It was $500 and we each received chips from the dealer. The idea was that we were supposed to play Poker with other players.

Instead of playing Poker, we decided to play Old School with ante for the casino chips. Naturally, we were using cards like \[\[Contract from Below\]\] and \[\[Jeweled Bird\]\].This drew a small crowd because it isn't something Poker players see every day. The pit boss found out, came over and told us that wasn't allowed and we needed to leave. I've never been kicked out before.

On the way out, I asked if we were being banned. They said no. We could come back on another day, but we had to play Poker specifically and we couldn't play for keeps.
