To those of you who are into MTG: Did you see what they are releasing for the 30th anniversary? IF so, how do you feel about it?

[JennyDK]

@SoulReaper Are you up for discussing some MTG sometime?

[Balthier]

I haven't looked, been many years since I played a game. What are they releasing for the 30th?

4 packs, 15 cards each, from NEARLY all cards from the Beta block. They come with special backside art,. so they are basically just proxies. The price...get this...999$ for a 4 pack, so pretty 250$ for 15 proxies, you can't even use anywere but with your friends who may or may not allow them,

[Balthier]

Well, I'm certain not interested I'm buying anything like that. Are those actually selling?

Sounds like they were made for people with money to burn.

Since the fanbase, for once, have aligned and think this is bullshit and greedy, I doubt it will sell very well.

Do you play Arena?

[Balthier]

Modern mostly, and commander.

It's been years, and I was a very casual player.

[JennyDK]

I don't really know anything about the modern format. I mostly stick to Legacy and only recently have been starting on Commander - the only thing about the latter I am annoyed with, is the constant use of board wipes.

I am a pretty casual player as well.

[JennyDK]

@BalthierDo you also play the Commander format?

[Balthier]

Once or twice. Frankly, I don't have much time to play given my personal life commitments.

That said, I did find it enjoyable. I tend to go for White and Green decks, either or, or both. I can't remember which, but I had a decent Angel commander at one point.

[JennyDK]

Oh, I see. Sounds like quite a stressful life if you never allow yourself proper breaks - of course, unless you use those breaks for something else.

Fair enough. My "main" colours, if you can call it that, are green and red, but I simply try and make themes or gimmicks I find fun.

I found a place where I can upload my decklists, so I can share them easily. Like this:

[JennyDK]

So I have begun to pull out of tutor cards from decks lately.

Both because I like the randomness in my Commander decks and to make room for more fun cards.

[JennyDK]

Are any of you guys playing Commander?
