When magnesium is heated in air, it will form magnesium oxide AND some magnesium Nitride quite easily. so no, it isn't.

Apologies, I didn't mean to seem so rude. The points you raise are true.

It's just that the fact that it needs to be heated was mentioned in my original post, and the OP was looking for other gasses in air that react with Mg. - I feel the question was answered well and needed no further elaboration - and from his response I gather so did the OP.
