I technically played a few games around 7th ed, but I worked at a game store the summer between high school and college so I could get D&D books. Two of the locals taught me to draft (triple Ravnica: City of Guilds) so I could be an 8th for drafts, and I played my first FNM two weeks later.

Mine had to cap their 3 prereleases at 50, 40, and 40. I'm currently 2-0 into 6 rounds of Swiss and am simultaneously happy it's going so well and dreading having to be awake that long.

As someone who choreographed and performed an entire drag number to that song in college, approve.

Thinly sliced granny smith apples on turkey sandwiches on cinnamon raisin bread with sharp cheddar, lettuce or spinach, & a light spread of mayo. You also can swap out the cinnamon raisin bread for sourdough and dried cranberries.

Same. That game is one of the foundations of my nerd awakening in my childhood.

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?
