I guess Magic, though I've tried Star Trek, Star Wars, and Wheel of Time.

Wanted to get into LotFR...but no other friend did.

I dont play anymore, but played Steve Jackson's Illumanati New World Order in college. Fun game, great cards, each picture tells a story.

And hey, Beowulf, in Diamond, it's more like six or seven turns now that the Elemental Items have been nerfed.

I used to play the Star Trek CCG from decipher. Even managed to get several rare cards in my posession.

Enterprice C
Enterprise D
Enterprise E
Future Enterprise
Data
Worf
Troi
Picard (FC)
Data (FC)
Worf (FC)
Geordi
Geordi (FC)
Kira (DS9)
Q (Q)

Then I lost interest and no local stores carried the series and no one I knew played anymore. Haven't bought any cards in like four years. I guess I am sitting on my collection hoping for the value to go up.

Does Yu-Gi-Oh count? It's the only one I've played (and still do!).

Magic..... and Illuminati, briefly. Dragonstorm as well, although it's more of a RPG than a CCG. Still, I've got some nice rares from DragonStorm

Are you differentiating between the Trading Card Games (like the new Star Wars) and the Collectible Card Games (like the old Decipher Star Wars)?

I played Magic but stopped buying after Stronghold with the exception of a few seperate cards. Still have a Diamond Valley from the Arabian set of which I am very proud.

Played the old Starwars CCG game before Deciever sold it off. Got loads and loads of it, I am looking for one more card I really want, which is Guri (female android in red/grey suit) from one of those reflection sets. If anyone has one and is willing to part with it I am interested!

Also have Startrek CCG, both the old and a bit of the new edition (I bought all that I could get my hands on, they don't really sell it here). I collect it rather then I play it since I don't really like the rules. Still looking for a Romulan and Borg starter deck, and I want to have all of the Romulans from the first Second Edition set, Sakonna (my avatar) from the Energize expansion, and I am also looking for Borath: Psychological Researcher, Founder Leader: Beguiling Teacher, Remata'Klan: Unit Leader and Tenak'Talar: Weyouns Warship from the Call to Arms expansion. Once again, if there is anyone here that has those and willing to trade/sell them, let me know.

Oh and does anyone know of a good site that sells ST 2nd Edition and does not require me to have a creditcard to pay? Preferably something in non-UK Europe, since I can let my bank transfer the money and with those new SWIFT codes there are no transaction costs.

Both of those are in the same category despite the different label (which I assume was used almost entirely to avoid trademark lawsuits).

For the record I play the classic (Decipher) Star Wars CCG whenever I get the chance, still using an old EBO deck with Objectives. Anyway if Chuck's around I'd love to hear his rant, once mroe, as to how much better the old SW was compared with the new one.

Legend of the Five Rings, though not Diamond Ed - Lion Military Juggernaut.

Babylon 5 - Corrupted Centauri.

X-Files.

OH - And Mthos too.

Lion isn't an unbeatable juggernaut. Crane 6 turn to go above 40 is. *sigh*

Bah, objectives. I have yet to build a deck with objectives in it. If you can't stand to spend over an hour draining your opponent's deck, then you are in the wrong game.

I know Lion isn't an unbeatable juggernaut, my friends Shadowlands deck is - you HAVE to kill it within 3 turns or it will eat every fucker on the table.

My Lion deck also have the ability to go speed mil or mil/honour depending on my opening hand. Or if I want to have my stronghold as the Kitsu Tombs.
