I don't really but that magic is exiting and I have played it in the last. It doesn't compare in level of exicting to dance fast and intimate Salsa or Bachata with an attractive woman. The emotions that come up by playing a card game are comparably weak.

The best time I've ever had was when I made top 8 at the New Jersey State Championships in 2001. I was on top of the world for a long time afterward. I have been dancing, but I've never taken any kind of lessons though. I enjoyed myself, but it wasn't exactly what one would call a "peak experience". The path of the would-be champion is hard, but rewarding.

If I would say on Lesswrong that you should seek a spiritual experience because it just provides an amazing experience that I can't even put into words, nobody would take me seriously.

Well... I've heard various claims to that effect about meditation and other spiritual practices that basically work by putting the brain into weird states, and also about various drugs...
