I drifted out of it when I realized I spent too much money (but actually not a lot) and almost everyone I was playing with was way too serious about it. I had a lot of fun with one friend in particular. We got bored with trying to make good decks for winning, so then we made fun theme decks and screwed around when we played. I still have most of my cards and decks in a shoebox, should sell them off and get some money.
Hail the Guma with Unholy Strength!
