I played it some years ago with some friends from school, but it was mostly for fun as it was too expensive for me to make a competitive deck. I left around Eight Edition and Mirrodin I think.

i enjoy playing it and i think the resurgence in the last couple years of good cards and card design is cool....but i still can't find myself going out enough to go buy cards and build decks.
Yeah, I don't actually buy cards anymore. Makes sense to have left during Mirrodin as the environment at large was ruined by one "competitive"* deck. I wasn't around, though; I left during Prophecy for varying reasons but it turns out it's considered to have been a pretty bad expansion as well. . .
* That
Mirrodin deck is called Ravager Affinity and it's still around (in Extended format) to this day.

Everyone I knew that played had either quit or moved.
I started during the Tempest block. The people I used to play with have long moved on but I don't exactly miss them - one of them, the one that had taught me the basics, turned out to be a cheater!.

each time a series is released i buy the constructed theme packs
I used to do that too. Not sure why I like the theme packs so much but I started directly with those.

hehe. . . I'm not too good in T2. So far I've come up with some black-red control and some mono-green aggro stuff not much unlike the competitive "warrior" decks. I'm kind of waiting for the new expansion to be released before giving it a try again.
BTW: Turns out they are re-printing Reflecting Pool (which I happen to have in real life) - I thought Reflecting Pool and similarly old cards were in a "protected list" impling that they would never ever be reprinted.
I played some Extended last night.
