I played some CCGs decently

Current second largest claim to fame is XJcloud topdecking me in the finals.

@MreMOEtional There's a 7 drop that's actually worth it's cost to play, and people want to go back to playing 2 drops and praying to see one in their opener.

@ChironTheMage Incorrect, remove Volcanic

[Drisoth @Drisoth]

@random7HS @The_Blevins Definitely agree the non-RQ events outside of big population centers are a bit weird.

[Drisoth @Drisoth]

Genuinely interested in playing magic again, and have actually zero clue how to even begin to engage with it.

What formats am I supposed to care about? What events am I supposed to look for? Do I have to play digitally?

[Drisoth @Drisoth]

@Pastrytime Locally, there's a good mix of formats, I get to play some paper legacy for the first time in a decade or so which is neat.

Modern and standard seem to have a reasonable scene.

[Drisoth @Drisoth]

@Pastrytime More than anything, I want to interact with people in person.

I've played enough MODO / Digital TCGs, and I don't care to run on the digital hamster wheel anymore these days.

I'd like to have the ability to play in some big comp event now and then, but don't need that often.

[Drisoth @Drisoth]

@The_Blevins Games certainly good, and I’m not gonna just drop it completely, but I’m here to interact with people and 20 person legacy events vs 7 person riftbound is hard to argue with

[Drisoth @Drisoth]

@xJCloud There is paper legacy in Albany which floored me!

My cards actually have a use again!

[Drisoth @Drisoth]

@xJCloud I really wish I could go to EW, but I just moved and it’s really hard to justify the cost

[Drisoth @Drisoth]

@xJCloud If you’re willing to register 2 Thalia, I’ll accept getting topdecked

[Drisoth @Drisoth]

@jpftw Still dealing with post-move fallout, but other than the expected issues, I’d definitely say things are going well.

I wouldn’t expect to be just quitting riftbound, but magic is definitely more popular here.

Cville was a good time, wish I was there longer

[Drisoth @Drisoth]

@hashx27 20 years of magic has embedded an instinctual hatred of Yu-gi-oh into me.

[Drisoth @Drisoth]

@FreshlobsterC There is *some* benefit, but just way more annoying than the benefit justifies.

[Drisoth @Drisoth]

Not a fan of this cards templating.

Play card, show opp hidden card in hand, shuffle hand to conceal info, hide a card.

Just template it as you may hide a card this turn for free, or show off a hidden card for a floating power.

@MreMOEtional Agency to get a draw bc “shuffling your hand is optimal and you should always do it”

[Drisoth @Drisoth]

@MreMOEtional “Before hiding a card that could be anything, first show me a card, shuffle your hand so I don’t know if you hid that same card, then hide a card that could be anything.”

Why are we wasting everyone’s time with this song and dance that is never going to matter?

[Drisoth @Drisoth]

@MreMOEtional Why are we wasting 15 seconds making them show me a card, then shuffle their hand so that it could be a different hidden card?

Just annoying busywork without a purpose

[Drisoth @Drisoth]

@PykaPower9001 @DFWDumpsterFire I didn’t know of any prior history, but we do have a confession now

[Drisoth @Drisoth]

I asked my wife if she thought it would be ok if you only pile shuffled a deck at an event.

She is aggressively disinterested in cards games and was 80% sure the answer was no.

“I was lazy and was an idiot when talking to a judge” - Sure, believable.

“I didn’t know” - 🧐
