I used to go to FNM every week with a group, got into EDH, built decks, went to GPs, it used to be so much fun! Now it's just this cheap cash grab, Arena is miserable, Moto never gets talked about because they don't profit off it like Arena (and it's never going to get updated or fixed in any meaningful way), the power creep is absolutely bananas they're on track to invalidating years worth of cards. It's just really unfortunate it went downhill soooo fast. And we're going to get more of these stupid crossover sets with a billion stupid overlapping keywords π.
It's also frustrating because deck building games are fun, and Arena is the only "F2P" version that scratches that itch, but their hidden ranking/matchmaking system makes it borderline unbearable.
:( fuck wotc.
If you have an online group to play with, I canβt recommend tabletop simulator enough. You can play anything, but you can also play magic with any deck and no shuffling after purchasing tts once ($40 for 4 copies, so go in with friends).
Ah my main go to has been cockatrice! I will look into that too, ty!
