G'day, new member here, another from Australia (Qld). I am 28, lawyer, and have a 4 month old baby who thinks he is hilarious when he wakes me up at 3:30am cause he wasnt to play.

I started playing in Onslaught block into mirrodin, playing vs skullclamp back in the day. I started with elves, then went into UW control and Astral Slide. Lightning Rift good card. I entered when UG Madness and a real mono black control deck was tearing up. During mirrodin I stopped playing as i moved away from my mtg group for university, and have only come back to magic in the last few months. I never really played red back in the day, as it was pretty much all goblin piledrivers and goblin warchiefs.

There is a group of about 5 of my RL friends play and we have all suddenly got back into magic. I am a red mage, and the more red I play, the more i realise it suits me. I was drawn to DTR from zeman's post on reddit about the update of
his pyromancer list (and I actually like that list more than the updated list posted on channel fireball). I also dont think red gets the analysis it deserves, which is why i am here - to seek out like minded mtg players to make me a better red mage

Having played previously, I feel the game has changed so dramatically with the introduction of planeswalkers (why no, you cant remove them/stop them from activating that ability) and increase of power level of the cards. I think that agro decks are much more powerful than they used to be, but the control cards are similar to where they were back in the day. I really think agro is the place to be - and red gives you so many different options.

I have no aspirations to go pro or be a top level player - i will play in a local GP and maybe get on a flight for one in the future- but mostly it will be FNM. I play on cockatrice under the name Volition, and am always keen to test.
