Used to love MTG. Now I play Dominion more - because "building the deck" (which was always the most fun part for me) is part of the game and it's decided more by skill than who can buy the better cards (i.e. at start of every game each player has a statistically equal opportunity to get each card.) It's huge in the "board game geek" scene, so apologies if you already know of it...but if you like MTG, I'd highly recommend it.

Another thing I really love about Dominion (from a purely aesthetic standpoint) is that the cards are, like chess, mostly archtypical. It doesn't have any of the sort of fantasy or sci-fi lore that permeates a lot of tabletop games and which can easily turn people off.
