MTG is very very different. I used to play with my group of friends around the release of 2nd edition. Mostly bought them from a comic store. It was picking up hype, but felt not so bloated as around 4th or 5th think I ducked out around then? Was around when everyone was “you have to make a slivers deck!” what was that Tempest? Shit got too expensive and there were a lot of “you have to buy this card or buy this premade deck” displays showing up. Also I was dumping ally funds into Warhammer 40k, I left TCG’s in the dust.
