Draft and Cube are the best formats

Yea it’s thousands of cards. I’m not even sure how many or how to check. You buy packs just like in mtg. But a pack comes with five cards, at least one being of rare or higher quality. It’s about $1 per pack.
Then if you have duplicates you can disassemble them and craft other cards.
I had some pretty rare rocket league skins that could fetch a fair penny on the steam store. But then epic bought it and ruined the skins system and now they’re worth nothing.

Had my first 140 in a while in a leg of 170 that I finished off as a 5 darter. Starting to get some touch back but I feel like darts is a game you have to play almost every day. I went out of a town for a few days and when I got back it felt like I’d never thrown before.

Glad to see I’m not the only mtg nerd here! Arena is great.
I started with revised so missed the big money. Had many duals, force of will, etc though. Sold them all when I got a car. Value has probably 20x since then 
Randomly started buying boxes during OG innistrad. Have a play set of liliana of the veil laying around somewhere. No interest at all in ever playing a paper game ever again.

Any reserved list cards in your haul? Even the unplayable trash is valuable
I played in several of those Starcity games tournaments about 7-8 years ago maybe? I only played legacy, got a top8 in Atlanta with goblins once and missed it by one win in Birmingham with goblins as well. That deck was my shit. I’d still play in one of those if I could get a deck together but I’ll pass on any kinda of local tournament or magic nights lol
Yup. Dozens and dozens of them. I’ve posted a few on eBay but am likely going to get around to my first ever BGS batch eventually. It’s a bit annoying paying for double shipping/insurance from the frozen north + the grading but these are gems. I mentioned the biggest wins were some grim monoliths but plenty midrange cards from that era.
Goblins is pretty busted in historic right now!
So cool
Yea I have the list built but I’m about 15 rares short lol, so I got some grinding to do.

Homelands lul
Oh, I actually have one I just thought of.
I used to play pokemon competitively. Like, tournaments and stuff. But I got caught “cheating” because I didn’t level my ‘mon legally to level 100 - i used a gameshark. But honestly everyone in that community did that, as breeding pokemon with perfect IV’s (base stats) took hundreds if not thousands of hours. I got tattled on by a guy who had a grudge against an unstoppable Zapdos I had and he went on kind of a vendetta. God that zapdos was awesome. I invented his moveset/stat distribution and other people copied it. He could wipe entire teams on his own and was my “anchor” (the pokemon you switch to last to try to save the game if you’re losing).
Then I found the site pokemonshowdown.com and fell in love with it all over again. There’s an insane amount of strategy and probability involved in competitive pokemon. You have to put a lot of thought into stat distribution and movesets/types for your team. You have to be very good at predicting what your opponents will switch pokemon to, and it becomes kind of like an extremely advanced game of rock paper scissors.
But then pokemonshowdown started implementing a bunch of custom rules like no confusion, then eventually banning all statuses whatsoever, which made the game stupid, so I quit.
But it was awesome when I did it. I put in probably 10-20 hours a week until 4-5 years ago. I had the hobby for 7 years.

the server has been jacked up since the zendikar update yesterday, pretty annoying, had a lot of trouble getting in throughout the day. Then go this morning to play and can’t get in, just says loading server then never loads.

Yeah I saw on twitter that people were having problems. Working fine over here, shoveling gems into zendikar sealed. Power level of standard is crazy low but the new modal lands are super super sweet
I have no fucking idea what you guys are talking about, or even what language it is.
