I've been playing more and more magic recently, and have been even maintaining both a modern deck (izzet murktide sorry) and a pioneer deck (arclight Phoenix though it's not suuuuper strong rn) I don't really play commander because unfortunately none of my friends IRL actually play with me!

Was just curious if anyone else had been doing anything in MTG recently, or had any thoughts on the new cards coming in the Lord of the Rings set. Personally, as someone who doesn't play commander, it doesn't seem super impactful on Modern, though I'm hardly an expert on card evaluation so maybe someone else could (though there's a counter on creatures with MV under 2 for just one blue so maybe that'll be worth picking up)

i play mostly commander with my friends, and some limited, so i think this set offers a bunch of toys for both formats. my wife and i are planning to go to a 2 headed giant prerelease event soon, where we'll probably lose :) but it'll be fun.

I've been only playing MTG Arena. I like it because I can get my magic fix in, collect cards, open packs, and participate in drafts. All without spending a dime. It's a bit of a grind to be free2play, but it's kind of fun to login once a day, play a few games, and get the dailies done.

I haven't been buying sealed product since WOTC sent the Pikertons to that one guy. But I am lately just Commander only, and my local shop has a biweekly tournament and I came in 4th place in the 1st of 6 rounds for a prize pool.

I at least came above the guy I dislike the most.

Buying singles (or proxying, i don't judge) is the way!

I had been playing MTG since KTK. I temporarily stopped due to my busy days. I'm thinking of buying a few Lord of the Rings boosters and test my luck now
