my understanding is that it was removed to simplify the game and make the rules easier for beginners It forces a certain level of mana management mana burn was/could be a legitimate tactic and discourages cheap tactics like infinite mana
my straight green deck is all about mana management I can easily produce 8-10 mana by my 3rd turn and have creatures with their power/toughness equal to land/mana in play

Cheep? Theres absolutly nothing cheep about equipping power artifact to my basalt monolith. 
And ya, green mana ramp can be a little rediculous at times but the deck synergy can be hard to pull off some times and blue players will make your life hell. I mostly only play green in a green/black or whenever I feel like running an elf-ball.

Magic is one of the best table top games out there. I personally have over 35,000 cards and sixteen decks that I play frequently. You can't trip and play magic though, I usually just look at all the cool artwork instead lol.

If anyone is interested, here is a comprehensive guide on OCTGN, for free MTG here: http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/magic-fundamentals/magic-software/337138-the-new-official-octgn3-mtg-thread
Unfortunately, while there once was an active chatroom full of players, I cannot seem to find it anywhere. Perhaps we can still benefit from this wonderful software? I'll be on it during the weekends, myself.
OCTGN is a great program though and also runs these games, so it's worth checking out:
7th Sea CCG A Game of Thrones LCG A Game of Thrones LCG 2.0 Android:Netrunner Call of Cthulhu LCG Cards Against Humanity Doomtown Duel Masters Duel Masters OCG Dune CCG Kaijudo Legend of the Five Rings Mage Wars Magic: the Gathering My Little Pony CCG Netrunner CCG Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Romance of the Nine Empires Sentinels of the Multiverse Spycraft CCG Star Realms Star Wars: The Card Game The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game VS System Vampire: the Eternal Struggle Warhammer 40,000 Conquest LCG Warhammer Invasion LCG

If your interested you should learn how to play it is a really fun game. There is a reason why it is referred to as cardboard crack lol.

Yeah, there's a lot of depth to it.
You start by looking at the pictures, maybe play a few games. Some people get lost in the imaginative aspects. Soon after learning about the different mechanics, people usually start building a few decks; there are SOOOoo many themes out there. Before you know it, your whole life is gone! No money, no job, on the streets giving handjobs for boosters. I think it'd be perfect for you, go.

How many handjob's did you have to give before your first booster?
I've been working pole for 2 days now, and nothing to show for it.
