Yoz, I've been to this site off and on, and been playing Magic certainly off and on at a pretty casual level over the years.
My main trouble is not feeling a real community or being able to play with real friends for Magic... Sometimes I kind of think it's an affliction more than a really fun game, but I hope to revisit and refocus on the aspects that matter most to me, regardless of how other people at the LGS might be handling Magic in their own way.
I also wanted to register here and maybe find and talk to some folks just as interested in talking ABOUT Magic in a lot of different aspects.
Personally, I like the game and feel very fortunate I was able to experience it since I was younger. Maybe I turned my back on the game because I was just afraid of getting too attached and then it suddenly turns it's back on me.
The aspects I enjoy the most are playing with and finding fun combos or interactions, and actually taking time to see the battlefield unfold. I'd like to beat top decks rather than play them, but more than that, I'd rather try coming up with my own flavorful deck to play with others; I feel like playing casually long ago, this also was kind of our way of expressing ourselves.
I also really like the art and flavor text. I really get carried away trying to get all the cards I don't have, but it's really overwhelming, especially with all the promos. I need to focus more on these aspects and reprioitize if I expect any longevity of sticking with the game for an extended period of time.
I been out for a year, and honestly I do very much appreciate all the new cards and learning all about new standard, basically everything that I both loved and hated just rotated out (more empathysis and excitement on hate rolling out!). It would have been nice to have adapted to this stage of the game, but I also appreciate an opportunity to be able to distance myself and then be able to come back and try gaining a new fresher perspective on the game.
Well I'd say that pretty much sums up my Magic story.
