I came back to Magic Online yesterday and discovered that leagues are back. The last time I played in a league was during 10th Edition, and I was excited to learn that one of my favorite game modes is back.
I also discovered this new thing called Play Points. I did some research and it turns out that they're worth about 0.1 tix, and that the consensus among Magic analysts is that they're good for the vast majority of players, but bad for high-level and professional players. Is this true? I don't really care that much about Magic progaming, as I've seen how an obsessive focus on progaming can ruin a game like Starcraft 2. I still play Starcraft 2, but it's a shadow of its former self because Blizzard chased away all the casuals, then chased away those who were hardcore but not hardcore enough.
For what it's worth, I don't like going into competitive games with the goal of making a profit, because that implies that someone had to lose for me to gain something. I'm not saying that I don't try my hardest to win, just that it isn't my main goal (my main goal is to actually play Magic, win or lose).
Thank you for your time.
