Deck building
I love building decks. I used to play magic the gathering when it first was released...like long ago(before pokemon even existed in North America) and with crazy cards and ideas I would sit for hours ...

I think most of us have our go to if you will but once I hit ultimate I’ll expirament with different characters and decks. In my experience climbing to 40 is pretty easy but it gets much more challenging after that. I will typically head back to old reliable.
i started with Magic on the legends expansion set (1994) so i know what you mean. (i also stopped playing magic by 1996 so don't expect to have a conversation about the game after that point lol)
I have about 5 decks per hero made, usually 3 are themed, 1 is ranked, and 1 changes a lot over time.
- @jaydabbler I don't play anymore either but I lasted for a few years more than you I guess. Early 2000s I came back home from building an extension on jasper hospital for a senior lodge/wing and was gonna go to my cousins and play magic for the weekend. I had a bunch of binders(one for each color and one for artifacts) and as I start going through I began to realize that all my rares were gone!
One of my roommates or their friends knew what they're doing to only take the rares and I ended up giving away the rest to a couple that owned a card shop.
I don't recall when they started but the expansion symbol was either black for common, silver for uncommons and gold for rare, so only cards that were saved were the old ones worth a good chunk but nothing in comparison. I would buy usually a box of each expansion on payday in Edmonton which was three boxes every two weeks, so yeah I lost lotta cards 😟
And that took the wind outta my sails so to speak, and could not get back into the game @jaydabbler holy *. legends. OOOOOOOOLD
I´ve been playing magic for Idk....mabye 10 years? I have been playing since then and accumulated a few ten thousand cards I guess 😞
I also really like weiss/schwarz but the support/release politics is super crappy for a game with such good potential.
Hearthstone is all right but they keep on pushing the random factor ever now and then....I really dislike that.
There was a magic clone a few years ago which was HEX which had a few very interesting mechanics going on so that happend.
TCGs are sort of my thing....:/ It also drains my money
- I was more a Yu-Gi-Oh guy myself.
When I was little I liked pokemon better to be honest. I still think it is a great game in itself but compareable to weiss/schwarz it has a fairly limited designspace. even if there were 1000 pokemon they still would have to recycle the same thing over and over again. I like that much better in YGO and especially in MTG
And from my experience of YGO vs MTG I like MTG better. probably also explains my hate for combo and my dire wish for good removal :D
@wonoz yup, i'm old
- @jaydabbler join the club. I got a brand new colecovision when I was four...
