I used to play in MTG tournaments waaaaaaaaaay back in the day(like 1994-1997). They've changed the rules of how things work so many times since then. I didn't keep up, so I'm probably not a good reference, but I did participate during the beginning of the whole CCG thing.I still have all my cards, and I still like to keep an eye open, but I don't play like I used to. Magic was actually a match made in heaven for me at the time. I have always been a collector, so that aspect really appealed to me. I enjoyed the collecting aspect a lot. And the artwork. I really liked that as well. But the big draw was the game. I found it very satisfying when I was able to beat somebody with a deck I designed. I had a few particularly nasty decks that I'd use in tournaments. One of the reasons I don't like those preconstructed decks they sell now is because it takes 90% of the fun out of it for me. I *loved* tinkering with my deck. There are so many possible ways to go! There's also a big luck factor involved, but nothing compared to the feeling of beating somebody with a deck I designed.Now things are a lot more complicated. There's all sorts of new styles of tournaments, and I just can't keep up with the rules anymore. Sadly, most of my favorite cards are now illegal in all formats, so there's no real reason for me to go back to the tournaments. I do miss it a bit. I was the only girl at most of the tournaments, and I always thought that was kind of cool. I just don't have the time or the money needed to get back into it seriously, so I just pick up the odd pack of cards at Target when I get the chance.
There is actually an App for iphone or android that explains how to play Magic and takes you through the basics- it is a little slow but MUCH easier than learning on your own or with youtube tutorials...I think you had better learn to play fast! It used to be that Wizards would only hire people (copywriters, lawyers, event planners, etc.) familiar with their products- although maybe that has changed.

I've been slowly easing back into Magic and I am hopelessly lost. The app would be very helpful for me.
This probably doesn't count, but I assembled hundreds of them, and I folded thousands of boxes for 'em. At the factory where I work we used to get huge orders for them until last year, in every language you can think of. We got Russian boxes, German, English, French, Chinese, Polish, Italian... I can't see them anymore.
I only played a little with hubby, because he wanted to try a new deck he had built - I was using one of his other decks. I kicked his butt, twice. The group at lunch played a lot (apparently that table at our high school is still the gaming table). But I do like the artwork on the cards.
