We Weiss Schwarz now.

This aside, I stopped playing standard a decade ago. There were no bans for years, then kaladesh and innistrad 2 came along and fucked that all up. I was running pummeler but caught the collateral ban from temur energy. I tinkered to limp it along until I built something else, but then another two decks got smacked down a month or two later. I basically lost all confidence that the decks I was spending money on would be viable for any period of time. (in fairness, pummeler was 30 bucks when I built it, but it's the principle of the thing). Moved to modern. Then MH2 Uhh... Yeah that was kinda bad. Always played edh, but that became the only format I played. And now...

I was an incredibly reliable consumer. I bought a box of almost every new set, and supplemental products that interested me or had cards I wanted. Then with it being eternal spoiler season, I couldn't even keep up with which was which. I haven't spent a dime on mtg in probably over 3 years. And I'm sad about it. I loved it. I loved cracking packs and setting interesting cards aside and doing a pass through my decks to see if anything could be swapped out. But now it feels like too much effort, which is crazy because mtg can be a high effort hobby. I have all my commons and uncommons sorted into 3 20k count boxes because it makes searching easy for building. Now I haven't touched them in ages. Still some unsorted piles but I can't even make myself give a fuck.

I'm still gonna throw money at Johannes Voss on patron and Kickstarter because DUH, but I'm afraid wotc has lost me.
