Playing the game since I was 8 and I still love this game!

I really hate to do this but I am going to sell all my physical cards. It’s time to move on. 😢 I have been playing since I was 8 years old and my first booster pack was Homelands.

So, I think I’m gonna quit paper magic.
1. Went to an event today and no one but me and 2 friends showed up.
2. Played modern again. Did not enjoy the game at all.
3. I think the major reprints and mass printing of expansions is going to kill the “investment” side of the game.

[Joe Engalla @joe_mtg]

Bye bye paper magic. I used to love the game because you can actually speculate and keep cards. Make money while you’re actually having fun. People may disagree with this but this is why I fell in love with the game. And it’s now dying.

Ban Karn already!! Jeez! Irritating!

[Joe Engalla @joe_mtg]

Sorry but after playing Explorer with Keruga fires all day on MTG: Arena. Yorion Fires is way better in terms of:
Draw
Flexibility
Manabase
Ability to stabilize and turn things around

[Joe Engalla @joe_mtg]

Well, just wanna update! I sucked out 4-3-2. Nothing more to be said. Should’ve prepped some more.

[Joe Engalla @joe_mtg]

Please let there be @hareruyaEnglish sleeves at the RC!!!

[Joe Engalla @joe_mtg]

Safely got to Atlanta! Attending the Pre-RC Judge Conference to get my head into the game! Let’s go! I’m so ready!
Still don’t know which pioneer deck I’m playing though.

[Joe Engalla @joe_mtg]

All packed for the Magic: the Gathering Pioneer Regionals!

[Joe Engalla @joe_mtg]

2nd top 8 at a Pioneer RCQ played Phoenix, obviously and I loved it. Despite having a whole lot of spirits in the field. I don’t know if I should also think about playing it in Atlanta for the Regionals. 🤔

[Joe Engalla @joe_mtg]

One of my amazing hands during the pre-release!

[Joe Engalla @joe_mtg]

Also made it to the top at the 2HG pre-release yesterday.

[Joe Engalla @joe_mtg]

Made it to the top at my 1st pre release yesterday.

[Joe Engalla @joe_mtg]

Played at a pioneer RCQ awhile ago. Will upload deck list and winnings in a bit.

[Joe Engalla @joe_mtg]

So I’m just super happy right now! I secured my kit! I was at work and had an alarm go off. 😂 anything for MTG, I guess. 😂 😂 😂

[Joe Engalla @joe_mtg]

@Anteejay @daddyhope @elonmusk @StephenKing Of course, another intellectual reply. Way to go. You just showed everyone how smart you are.

[Joe Engalla @joe_mtg]

So, I just met someone from Minnesota and their accent was so thick but don’t get me wrong, Uber cool! Like I literally had to use context clues this time. I can’t wait to visit Minnesota for a conference or tournament someday.

@BoshNRoll I guess commander isn’t really a format. Oh well…
