I started playing and collecting cards around the time 4th Edition and Ice Age came out (1995), and stopped buying more cards roughly around Apocalypse (2001).  I never stopped playing, and a friend of mine has recently gotten into the game, pulling me back in as well.  I've gotten some newer cards ranging back to about Mirrodin Besieged through Dark Ascension, and picked up on the rules that have been "refined" over the past 10 years (no mana burn!?).

I prefer face to face trading (and potentially playing), but I'd be willing to mail a few cards.  I'm a student at Virginia Tech, though I'm frequently in Roanoke (and play in some events at Star City Games) and occasionally in the Northern Virginia area.
