	I used to know most of these...how fast one forgets...Great quiz, though. :D

	Chorocojo:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 00:10 GMT		3 points
	My god you even did the duel decks and Astral, kudos

	SanityLapse:	Oct 4th, 2009 at 08:17 GMT		4 points
	Cool quiz. I can't believe it's been over 8 years since I stopped playing Magic. I still remembered 27 answers, because Magic was that cool of a game! Best CCG I've ever been into.

	Robert_Seth:	Nov 2nd, 2009 at 00:07 GMT		3 points
	Certainly great quiz, but I feel you should reveal the hint column at the start.

	Rifsun:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 00:34 GMT		3 points
	The only suggestion I have is that Astral should be a bonus answer, since the cards it contains were only the extras made for that Shandalar computer game and so it only exists in a technical sense. Also, the Vanguard sets might be nice for a bonus answer since you already have planechase on there anyway.

	Quiz updated. I took suggestions into consideration. I decided to leave digital, non-competitive sets, etc., in the quiz but made a note of it in instructions. Also, I decided not to reveal hint column, as I found it would be too easy for even the casual longterm collector.

	sonofamitch86:	Feb 7th, 2010 at 01:42 GMT		1 point
	Question: How can I categorize sets? I would love to be able to organize them into core sets, expansion sets (and possibly grouped in blocks), casual, online, etc.

	musicman804:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 03:28 GMT		1 point
	great quiz! I could definitely use more time, though.

	joelk:	Mar 21st, 2010 at 08:12 GMT		1 point
	I needed a few more minutes... but that makes it pretty tough. I completely ignore the products in the right column so I only knew a few...

	Dramathorn:	May 3rd, 2010 at 06:40 GMT		1 point
	these should be put in order of release

	sonofamitch86:	Jul 24th, 2010 at 23:58 GMT		1 point
	Modified again, as of today.

	This was fun. I started playing in early '94 and stayed with it until just after Mirage came out, so I got all the early sets correct. Then I had this huge gap from about '97 to '07 or so where I didn't get any. However, I got many of the recent ones because my young nephew has just become interested in the game and I've been drafted in to be his tutor, so I know the newer sets from going through cards with him.

	Edited again.

	Good. I feel like the Rival Quick Start Set and the Multiverse Gift Box should be bonus answers, though, since they were just repackaging of cards and boosters from other sets - they did not have their own set symbol or checklist, and the cards in each set were random. Also, you're missing Vanguard.

	sonofamitch86:	Aug 23rd, 2011 at 06:37 GMT		1 point
	Thanks for the comment. Quiz edited again, up to newest releases and Vanguard. I wish there were a way to reformat it and make it less ugly.

	snorlat:	Oct 31st, 2011 at 13:17 GMT		1 point
	Good quiz - very comprehensive - so much in it - that I wouldn't have minded a slightly longer time - I didn't get round to thinking about the digital only sets at all.

	greenday61892:	Dec 4th, 2011 at 15:44 GMT		1 point
	iirc the 13th and 14th blocks are just counted as one superblock.

	sonofamitch86:	Dec 5th, 2011 at 15:50 GMT		1 point
	They were played in Block Constructed as though they were both one block, greenday, but I don't believe the were actually classified in that way.

	pointofinfo:	Jun 2nd, 2012 at 22:06 GMT		2 points
	You need to accept more answers for the gold-bordered sets. I tried configuring the words multiple ways that are totally acceptable demonstrations of knowing the sets.

	sonofamitch86:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 17:36 GMT		1 point
	Like what?

	Nafets:	Aug 24th, 2012 at 17:00 GMT		1 point
	Man, you really keep this up to date and comprehensive. A well-made quiz, thanks! I do think it could just use a minute or two more. I don't know if I'd have gotten any more, but scrolling down to see the categories definitely eats up some time, and I rushed to get the last few in.

	imaginarion26:	Aug 25th, 2012 at 04:03 GMT		1 point
	You need to add Commander's Arsenal, and I think that if you're going to include both Chronicles and its international release, Renaissance, then you should include both Collectors' Edition and International Edition. I really appreciate you keeping this quiz up to date :)
