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 haven’t been buying sealed product since WOTC sent the Pikertons to that one guy. But I am lately just Commander only, and my local shop has a biweekly tournament and I came in 4th place in the 1st of 6 rounds for a prize pool.
I at least came above the guy I dislike the most.
Buying singles (or proxying, i don’t judge) is the way!
I’ve managed to never buy any sealed product at all, just singles. Not a fan of limited!
I got into magic 5 years ago and played magic arena a ton, but my interest dropped in the last year. The Pinkerton nonsense was the latest Wotc controversy that drove me away from buying mtg product.
That being said I do enjoy the weekly pioneer night at my local game store. I just wish more of my friends played it.
