I started collecting Magic in 96; I was walking past a store called Game Keeper in our local mall and noticed a chess set in the window that I liked. While in the store, I saw the booster packs for Magic: the Gathering in the glass display case at the cash register; the store owner, seeing that I was interested, explained the game to me. Learning that I could summon demons amongst other creatures, then destroy or resummon these creatures from graveyards with spells in the game to attack my opponent, I was sold. I purchased a few packs, and the rest is history.
