I won't play with randoms but getting a group of eight friends together to draft a new set is a hell of a lot of fun and reasonably inexpensive with the cost split.

I loved MTG but when I got older and they started just pumping out new sets that were really the same as older ones in order to you to pay even more for what was already an expensive hobby I stopped.

I also started around revised or 3rd edition and played heavily through 5th edition before giving up.

I tried to play online a few years ago but making me pay full price for random packs of virtual cards with no resale value really soured me to the company and I didn't last long even though it was still fun.

Now that there's a huge internet community the flavor of the month deck is also really frustrating... People don't spend time designing their own decks they just download the one that has been winning a lot recently. You play the same deck over and over again.

Coming up with a good deck through trial and error was what I enjoyed the most.

One of my favorite things to do is go back over pop media from the early 90's, figure out what was casually racist/misogynist and decide if it's still okay to like the thing.

Its interesting because there's two fundamental sorts of games - the draft, much like a fantasy football draft where you're working with the best cards available, and the old-school "i have thousands and thousands of cards and I built this deck after pawing through it for two weeks".

both are equally valid, although I personally prefer the 2nd... which has been basically utterly impossible for the last fifteen years because my friends slowly gave away their absurd MTG collections :smith:

Honestly this is true of pretty much every game not just MTG. Online communities quickly end up solving the fun right out of the game just by how fast information spreads about what is and isn't optimal play.

i haven't been able to play MtG in forever. it was fun when i was young but since then i've played other ccgs that have far better mechanics and it makes playing MtG feel like i'm steering a huge, old boat.

Timothee Chalamet made custom Xbox controllers and Robert Pattinson was a huge original FF7 fan on PSX. Two of the biggest millenial rising stars sit on opposite sides the console war.
