I still like it a lot but I don't play much anymore.
I went onboard right before sixth edition, and all series before that - on all levlels, and expert level series up until prophecy are good in my book.
The turns the game took after that, and particularly the new "revamp", were pretty much downhill IMHO.
MTG was the first trading card game I got into, and nothing could beat that kiddy feeling of looking through your 6th ed tournament pack, and whatever you could afford of mercadian masques. Or the big-shot leets trading tons of oldies you could impress your friends with for one rare card they needed. On this one tournament, the winning team gave us their foil Serra Angels. It was wonderful.
Too bad it sucks now.
(I'll think about the card)
