I use to play and I still have cards. I stopped largely because of increasingly bullshitty rules.
I've only played the Xbox Live Arcade game. I loved it and I'd like to play it in real life, but as it is I can barely afford 3 hobbies let alone 4.
Used to.
Combination of the power-creep, the change of settings and the store that I played in closing down caused me to quite.

Magic WAS my high school years. My god, I never stopped playing that game. If I couldn't buy the cards, I would make proxys just to test the deck types. If no one was around, I would goldfish a deck (Play a single player game basically, to see how quickly I could attack and cast spells for 20 points of damage, ) or play both sides of a match and evaluate potential strategies between different designs. I had a folder dedicated to a variety of design ideas, and I read all my copies of duelist, wringing every last little bit of data from it I could, bookmarking the pages with pertinent graphs. Hell, whenever I got money, I generally evaluated that money by dividing the dollar amount by 3, trying to figure out how many booster packs I could get. If there were the online sites where you can buy any card individually, I would be living in a gutter today.
These days, I'm not so obsessed. I more of less pool my cards with some friends, and every once in a while I will buy a new preconstructed deck to mess around with, or buy a few singles to make a deck that looks like fun. Then we will play a big multiplayer game once a week or so, and occasionally do a quick match. Still a ton of fun, and a lot more realistic now that I have real bills to pay.

I have never played it. I might get attacked for this but I did't even know it existed until just now.
I used to play and have an assload of cards but, don't play anymore because ... I have nobody to play with really
It's updated every few months with new cards.
I played a ton during high school, since a store near me ran sanctioned tournaments twice a week. Stopped when I got to college though, mostly because of the expense: a good deck could cost upwards of $120, and that money is now spent on more pressing needs, like food.
I used to like it many years ago, but it got hard to find people to play with. So I sold all my decks and haven't touched the game since.
I played a lot when I was at school, but nowadays I just play the occasional tournament as don't have the money, time or will to make decent decks.
I used to play that game back in Jr. High, but never all the serious. I spent far far too much money on those damn cards. Except for the occasional game, I haven't played in years.
I used to, however I only ever had my brothers to play with, and we all figured out each others stragities so it got boring.
I used to run with a slightly modified standard 9th edition fire deck, basicly lots of DD and several creatures that got uber powerfull when you had a graveyard full of used DD spell cards.
one bro of mine ran with a forest deck that specialized in huge fucking creatures (also 9th edition)
other bro used a water deck with a shit load of flying creatures.
it was fun for awhile untill we got bored.
