Why do you think I don't play? (other than the cost of all the cards)

I'm a gamer. Roleplaying, not cards, but the news still gets around and many 
people play both
New Magic additions are as much news as new roleplaying books or new 
editions of games. Also I usually visit gaming shops every couple months and 
see the Magic cards (and all the other collectable card games) on sale. Add 
to that the posters advertising new releases at the shops, on the websites 
and at conventions.

It's kinda like asking if you would know when a new edition of Haskall is 
released.

If you were into the game, you'd probably visit forums on it daily, plus the 
official site and know months in advance about new additions. I just know 
there are ones. Don't know how recent, don't know the names of the latest 
expansions

Yeah. Wizards is pretty good at games, terrible at websites and web apps.
You're lucky it loads at all. I keep getting errors. It worked a lot better 
(faster, more reliable) before they decided to move the entire site to 
flash.

You can skip the entire opening flash movie. Doesn't make it much faster 
though
