    Oh hell yeah, nice. I just rediscovered my love for mtg after not playing for decade(s). There’s a seemingly endless amount of depth to the game. I have barely touched a video game for months now because I have been spending all my game time working on decks and planning builds or just looking up cards. There’s just so much strategy and mechanics to chew on.

    I just wish it was more affordable. I forgot how expensive it is sadness

      Buy or make proxies, don’t play with pretentious assholes that refuse to play someone with proxies because of x, y , or z, make them distinguishable from a real one so you don’t get accused of x, y, or z , and have fun. There’s no reason to drop thousands on cardboard, ink, and glue.

      Edit: also MTG can become an easy allegorical teaching tool for flaws of capitalism, and may or may not be used to radicalize those who are reachable through gameplay and them realizing 9/10 times it’s a pay to win game.

        I’ve been trying to use it as a teaching tool and I’ve had minor to no success so far. One guy is already off the lib train and another two are Reddit gamers but I’m doing my best lol

      Yeah the game costs a lot if you’re trying to do everything. For the best bang for your buck I’d look at trying Commander with one of the pre-built decks and buy singles to upgrade. Either that or get into Draft. Constructed formats are the real money pits.
