I have spent a lot of money on my modern deck and so my friends just built hard counter decks to it and now I'm trapped

This is why spending money on MtG is for losers and terrible people whose money burns a hole in their pocket.

I just use the free half-decks that I get at PAX. I have like 10 of them now that I've managed to create some fun decks. I like blue/black or blue/white.

Red is garbage and if you play using red you're a monster.

Magic is too expensive of a hobby. Ever since they added Ultra Rares and planeswalkers its become more of a cashgrab than it already was. Drafting or playing with that gigantic box of ancient cards from under your bed are really the only way to play high level magic without investing like $500 in a deck that will last you a year before some of the cards are rotated out of Standard.

Just play hearthstone alone and cry into your wine cup

Yeah I'd never play one of my free decks against someone who had bought individual cards or some other nonsense.

I did a draft thing once with friends when they bought a whole box of the little booster packs and the four of us built decks out of it to play for the night. That was fun, although I still think they are crazy since that must have cost a fair amount of money.

there is a short form improv thing here but when i go on their page its unfunny memes and it makes me scared :(

Short form improv tends to be pretty rough and that's kind of the nature of it. Sometimes it doesn't work.

I think another thing, and maybe I'm totally off base here, is that sometimes it's good to spend time with and at least be friendly with people who may have different tastes on stuff you like. Even if the humor is lowbrow, trying to enjoy it can be a good experience, and you might be surprised, sometimes very witty people can enjoy fart and dick jokes and memes.

Booster boxes run about $80-$100 and the one time I ran the math it's a bit cheaper than buying the packs individually. Plus if you sell the rates you get you might get lucky and snag a high value card that could very well recoup the cost. That's prettybrare though.

If you could pick one person in this game to vig on d1, who would you shoot?

(for newbies: 'vig' refers to 'vigilante,' a killing role that can shoot someone either during the day or the night. kashuno loves vigs on d1.)

This content game out of nowhere is also kind of odd.

I don't I'm too busy touching tips with my lab mate. University is a magical place.

Awkward self-insertion in the middle of dorm chat, feels self conscious. I don't know why Friction came out of nowhere to make sure that he commented on the heat on him and then continued with dorm chat as if nothing had happened. Strange.

i won a bunch of 6 player multiplayer games on magic online with a tooth and nail 4x kukosho deck back in the ravnica days it was probably my favorite deck ever





you would tooth and nail to insta play 2 kukoshos from your deck which then insta died from 2 legendary creature rule and you would do 10 damage to everyone and heal up for 50 health
