I’ve been playing more and more magic recently, and have been even maintaining both a modern deck (izzet murktide sorry) and a pioneer deck (arclight Phoenix though it’s not suuuuper strong rn) I don’t really play commander because unfortunately none of my friends IRL actually play with me!

Was just curious if anyone else had been doing anything in MTG recently, or had any thoughts on the new cards coming in the Lord of the Rings set. Personally, as someone who doesn’t play commander, it doesn’t seem super impactful on Modern, though I’m hardly an expert on card evaluation so maybe someone else could (though there’s a counter on creatures with MV under 2 for just one blue so maybe that’ll be worth picking up)

    I don’t really like limited 😵‍💫. It’s more that I enjoy non rotating formats more, I think.

      Fair enough. I like limited, but i mostly do the bot drafts. I often have to step away and dont like to bottleneck other players.

      For me the smaller allowed card pools are easier to understand/keep track of. ie one set for limited, 4-8 for standard (though that is getting bigger with the extension).
