Do you play tabletop Magic at your local game store (LGS)? Perhaps you prefer the convenience of Magic: The Gathering Online (MTGO) or Magic: The Gathering Arena on your computer. Or maybe you like playing on your phone or tablet with the Android version. Let me know how you play and what your preferred platform is!

I used to play MTGO on Linux through Wine, but it stopped working. Trying it in a VM was too laggy. So I finally bought a cheap Windows machine primarily to run MTGA and MTGO smoothly. Personally, the convenience of digital clients has won me over, but I have fond memories of Friday Night Magic at my LGS, specially a $1 entry format we played with crappy decks and store credit prizes because I liked the nostalgia of it being similar to when I started playing instead of the competitiveness of the typical standard format, where it seems like all the decks are similar netdeck copies.

With the kiddo atm. For now the most important factors for a card in a deck is that its a dragon, its powet, and general red damage dealers. Its a fun phase ill admit i started similar.

The face of my kid when i made a mono white deck (white is stupid, only 1/1 clerics and soldiers bah) and did wrath of god at the sixth or sevent turn (THATS NOT FAIIIIRRRRRR) and wiped his dragons away only to have a bunch of clerics at the next turn lol
