Complete the sentence!
"You know you've been playing too much magic when..."
...when you try to caterogize characters by colors when watching your favourite TV-shows.
...when you see a certain combination of colors outside of Magic and still instinctively use guild/shard/wedge-names when refering to it.
...when you use the phrase "in response to..." in other tabletop games.

You have your next 10 paychecks divvied up into how many cards you can buy for the 15 decks you want to make.

.. if you let things "resolve" instead of agreeing to them.

When you sac things in real life
When anything with tentacles reminds you of eldrazi
When you name your two sons Jace and Sorin (like my LGS owner did lol)

I've just had a shocking revelation. Is there such a thing as playing too much magic? ;)

...when you call something good is "gas".
...when you instinctively shuffle cards in your hand in other card games.

Completely agree with JWiley129's second point. I always do it during Settlers of Catan and my friends are always confused with what I'm doing.

You look at any small container and think "how many decks could that hold?"

When you give other drivers at a 4way stop priority.
When you use the term "in response to..." to describe a series of actions like in a sport or something.

when you can't stop making magic jokes when your non magic friends accidentally use a card name in real life
when you get more mail than your parents.....and it's all online trades
May 15, 2015 10:48 a.m.
ThisIsBullshit That second point though.
When you spend so much time on TappedOut that you always turn in school work, or, really anything in, about 20 million years later than you should.
Someone help me.

I have a friend that actually shuffles every kind of thing that's even closely shuffle-able. Booster packs, coasters in pubs, Euro notes, you name it. Reminds me of this:
@ Topic:
... when you're late to work almost everyday because you had that awesome deck idea while in the shower and you just wanted to look in your commons boxes for some of the cards when you realize you should've been at work about 15 minutes ago.

After my first comment I realized that I'm not hardcore enough for this thread.

...when you cringe at anyone traditionally shuffling any deck of cards.
...when you respond to plays in other card games.
...when you have a competitively viable Vintage deck. :P

I totally do that though. "Hey, let's go to the park!" "Ok, that resolves."
@...
When you're sitting at your computer deck and any card that you could possibly need for any standard deck ever is within arm's reach.

...when you urge your friend to name her female roleplay character Sorin instead of Soren.

When you type deck instead of desk like ThatJunkMage just did.

"You know you've been playing too much magic when..."
...your wife walks into the game room wearing her dressing gown, you ask her if she's off to bed and she replies "No, I've just gotten UP".
...your wife walks into the game room without her dressing gown (or anything else!) on and part of your brain can't stop wanting to finish that last goldfishing hand of your new deck idea.

GeeksterPlays I want to scream that at that point you need to step away from the game for a while but I've done it to my girlfriend as well lol

When you question the priority and the stack in real life situations.
GF: "Let's go out for dinner, what do you want?"
Me: "I don't know, what do you want?"
GF: "I asked first."
Me: "Yes, but my question resolves first."

When your lover walks into your game room barely dressed, and says "I feel hot", but you reply "but aren't you a blue player?"

When you are ranked in the top 10 on this site.
When MtG lets you, and your friend destroy the non magic team in catchphrase. Works really well when your addiction is not known by your lady friend. Best clue that night, "Ok, entwine" immediate "Tooth and Nail" the bewildered look was priceless.

When you have a guest room thats now dedicated to the stacks of boxes of all your cards organized by sets, colors and rarity.
May 22, 2015 5:21 a.m.
When you just spent over $1000 on Modern Masters 2015. You haven't even opened half of the boxes yet, and are already considering buying a few more boxes.
EddCrawley says... #2
You're wife kicks you out of the house, because apparently 5 boxes of MM2 isn't 'an essential' purchase...
