My oldest card I own has a 2000 copyright date on it. A friend of mine has recently gotten back into playing T1.5 tournaments with a stasis deck, while even so often I'll play with my cards. To my brother and I, anything after 1998 is a new card and is generally too powerful/quick for our older cards.
That deck was just a random one that I found that did alternative wins methods. I thought it was cool, and played it a bit in Apprentice. It is for fun, not for speed.

I couldn't tell you the dates on my cards, but I've got a couple moxes and a variety of other beta/unlimited/revised cards. Stopped playing right after the release of Ice Age/Alliances and bought a couple boxes of the Urza's Saga/Fight/whatever.
I've been refining the same deck I've had since I started playing; when I first play people it always takes em by suprise, but then it usually gets stomped after people make revisions and hit up their sideboard.

Shoot, I've still got a tiny collection of Alpha cards. I kinda quit when Mirrodin came out, since it broke the whole freaking game. But now that Time Spiral is out, I'm trying out T2s. T2s are lame and usually consist of half the people sucking ass and the other half playing money decks. Time Spiral is trying to step it up though, and there's been some actual real competitive play at higher levels. Unfortunately, there isn't really anyone skilled near me. Heck, the top guy down at the store I go to runs dragonstorm(a gimmicky benchmark/money deck). Unfortunately, that's the only popular deck my mono white aggro can't handle. Other aggros usually can win against me, though.
I just got a few cards the other day, though... we'll see if they help me out.

On a related note(well, related to the off-topic talk), on the weekend following the release of Pokemon DP, Future Sight(latest MTG set) is going to have its prerelease. This is going to be on Saturday, April 28th. Holy crap. My nerd meter is going to shoot out of my skull.

Three days.
Also, wtf, did someone mess with my post counter? I know I kinda spammed this topic, but this is just one topic. I don't even remember passing 300 posts, and now it's almost 500. Hacks
