Sounds pretty cool, really. I was never around to experience the pre-8th edition sets (With the old design and such), and from what I understand between the oldies, the game has really changed since then.
Well, just two things. Firstly, join the MTG group then. You're also in the #fiftychat group even though you don't go there anymore.

And secondly, I'd be amazed if we could duke it out over Magic Workstation or the like eventually. That does, of course, require you to be in the mood, which I don't really think you sound like.

Oh, and no, don't be a nice guy and say yes if you don't mean it, I don't expect you to, but I hate when people do that, since then I'll walk around and expect people to play eventually... And bug them with it.
