What perfect album came out when you were 16?
It may not be perfect in hindsight, but to 16 year old me, it was everything.

Started telling friends I was bi around 21, but got publicly outed in my local newspaper who ran an article about a drag fundraiser my college LGBTQ+ club did (pic below), & came out as gay at 23. Came out as lowkey nonbinary/agender at 32 (any pronouns). Came out as asexual at 36. Am 38 now.

Honorable mentions to some all time bangers that all have specific special memories, but were edged out by the above 10 cards.

#10 Icetill Explorer. What even is this card?! It's so good at enabling so much of what I love doing in Magic. Land synergies! Self mill! Graveyard shenanigans! Ramp! It does it all. I ended up with it in 5 decks within 3 weeks of the set coming out. I adore my bug child so much.

#9 Glarb, Calamity's Augur marks my first real foray into cEDH (and first minor tournament top 4/8/16 conversions in cEDH). He is my Bontu for competitive, and regardless of how poorly he's positioned in the meta, I adore my frog dude. Long, grindy control games are my favorite.

#8 God-Eternal Bontu won my heart when I saw someone sac their entire board to her on standard coverage to kill with a Mayhem Devil. I also was obsessed with Egypt as a child and love crocodillians. She has been my longest lasting, most blinged out, and favorite Commander ever since.

#7 Karn, the Great Creator made it so I didn't have to sideboard in Pioneer and Modern. I love artifacts, stax pieces, and a good ramp strategy, and Nykthos/Tron lands made my world go around.

#6 Martyr of Sands was one of the core pieces of my first ever Modern deck when the format was in its infancy. I took down one of the first large Modern events in Ohio, because I was gaining life while people were trying to win fast with Affinity & Zoo.

#5 Vhati il-Dal was my first ever Commander of this strange new format called Elder Dragon Highlander. I used his ability in conjunction with Thornbite Staff and Night of Souls Betrayal to lock out creatures, then won with stuff like Lord of Extinction, Vulturous Zombie and Spiritmonger.

#4 Tortured Existence was the first Pauper deck that stole my eternal love. Can you tell I love a grindy value engine?

#3 & #4 are Life From the Loam and Trade Routes, a 2 part grindy draw combo from my kitchen table casual nights with friends in college. I jam this combo into far too many Commander decks.

#2 Loxodon Hierarch was part of the first "good" tournament deck I ever played. I started playing seriously in OG Ravnica block, and my first FNM deck I won with was Ghazi Glare. The elephant is still one of my favorite pieces of Magic art.

The person & 10 Magic cards to get to know them:
#1 7th Edition Mountain # 337 is my first card, because I learned to play with a scrapped together deck of mono red cards from 7th Edition. The art for this mountain has always been one of my favorites, and it's the one I use when possible.

The Star Trek CCG by Decipher sold plastic transparencies that changed card borders to denote characters who were assimilated by the Borg. I've often wished Magic had something similar.

There's nothing like going back to my Sultai roots in Casual Commander and playing an abomination of a Reanimator/Zombie Typal/Lands Matter/ Graveyard deck.
