I learned how to play Magic at my old sleepaway camp. I taught myself because no one would tell me how to play. I was really bad back then. True story: I thought that "Mythic Rares" were called "Mystic Rares" and started calling them that. I guess that I confused other people and they started calling them that too! Well anyway, I went around camp asking people for free cards. They gave me their worst cards, and I ended up trying to make a really bad 5 color deck (it was the worst thing you've ever seen, trust me). Eventually I built a mono-green "Spider Tribal Anti-Flying" deck with a bunch of cards like Deadly Recluse and Lures, Overruns and Giant Growths and stuff.

When I got home from camp, I begged my mom to buy me the Magic 2014 Deck Builder's Toolkit (I actually got a Deathrite Shaman, but I didn't realize it was good so it is in really bad condition). With those cards, I built a symbol:U/R counterburn deck and a symbol:W/G lifegain deck. Yeah, they were pretty horrible. Over the course of that year, I upgraded my Izzet deck and made it kind of decent (for a casual deck). I actually somehow got some pretty good counterspells in that deck such as Counterspell itself and Daze. So I went to camp the next summer, and my deck was fun to play and quickly became my favorite. Towards the end of the session, my age group went on a field trip to Washington D.C. I didn't want to bring that deck, because I was afraid of losing it, so instead I left it and all of my other cards out in the open lying in a shelf on my bunk. Well that was about the dumbest idea ever, and when I came back I found someone had stolen all of my rares and mythic rares. The moral of the story is: Don't leave stuff you like lying out in the open for a week where anyone can take it.

I'm pretty sure my first card was Floodchaser. I thought it was the best card ever.

My first mythic was Molten-Tail Masticore. I went around showing it to everyone and they told me it was horrible because you had to discard a card each turn, and that was "totally not worth it for a 4/4". I ended up trading it for a common or uncommon or something. I totally regret that.

So my first booster pack was of Magic 2014. I opened it up, and I got a Galerider Sliver. I really needed lands for my mono-green deck, so I traded it for 5 Forests.
