Got this because I don’t like carrying cash (weird because I’m pretty into privacy, but I have a minimal wallet and am scared to hold lines up at stores lol)
It actually has to be broken to open which I love. The “MTG Fund” part was a joke at first but it’s been a while since I was excited for a set and actually wanted to spend money on it. Bloomburrow seems promising, loved Redwall as a kid.
Might just be product fatigue. I’ve been very into pauper commander lately which holds me over
Complexity creep is a problem in my opinion… yeah, some cards are fun and have to have quite a few words, but being able to play without reading and rereading is also nice. And keeping track of board state gets tiring
This is me trying to get into cEDH, and more and more cards being kinda pushed into it. There are so many interactions, so many triggers, my mind just shuts off, and I feel extremely bad losing one game after another because I was just overloaded with information. To point of seriously considering quitting MTG altogether and picking up something simpler, like plastic models.
@UnPassive @MacedWindow to many old school players there are two big factors in what has changed:
* too many card variants, so you can’t recognise cards by the art any more.
* too many cards being released each year. Heavily invested players used to be able to keep up with knowing the text of every card in standard. But there are more cards instandard now (all big sets) and standard legal cards are only a portion of new cards.
People didn’t need to read every cardthat was played years ago, because they already knew most of them.
