Heya brother.

I wish you played Magic because I need another card flipper to talk to.

Ever thought maybe you should start playing KeyForge?

So, I've been doing MTG:A, so I can craft my cards and don't actually have to spend much money or have physical storage.

I know if I started collecting the real stuff again I'd not stop.

I used to have a serious (like, spending rent money) issue with CCGs.

It looks a lot of fun though

That's fair, and I'll admit that online play does fix one of the concerns I have with CCGs, having my collection stolen/ruined. But at this point I find Magic to just have so much cruft as I haven't played it in literally 20 years.

Oh yeah, it's still terrifyingly broken, but...for what I'm doing it's kind of charming.

Cool cool

Throwing a mono red deck at everyone is fun until it's not

Ah good old pure aggro

It's still pretty great. Nothing in my deck costs more than 4, and every creature has haste.

I'm Plat 2 at the moment, trying to get to at least diamond.

Yeah, my issue with online play though is that it's so impersonal. I like being able to sit across from a real person.

Oh no, that's fair. For me, it's probably for the best. I get...mouthy when I play magic I find.

Like, I talk so much smack while playing that my fiancee just starts laughing.

Also fair

Like, at first I was confused about MTGA not letting people chat.

And then I realized _why_

Oh yes there's a good reason for no chat, I agree.

Just it feels really weird to me.

good morning

I used to play MTG (and I might do MTGA again at some point), but for a number of reasons I dropped out of it.

but I still try to keep my ear to the ground about stuff
