I've been playing more and more magic recently, and have been even maintaining both a modern deck (izzet murktide sorry) and a pioneer deck (arclight Phoenix though it's not suuuuper strong rn) I don't really play commander because unfortunately none of my friends IRL actually play with me!

Was just curious if anyone else had been doing anything in MTG recently, or had any thoughts on the new cards coming in the Lord of the Rings set. Personally, as someone who doesn't play commander, it doesn't seem super impactful on Modern, though I'm hardly an expert on card evaluation so maybe someone else could (though there's a counter on creatures with MV under 2 for just one blue so maybe that'll be worth picking up)

I used to play back in 2009-2012 or 2013. To be fair, I'm not keen on playing PvP or competitive games. It tends to bring the uglier side of me out and I don't like it.

Recently, I started looking into the "co-op" variants, like Horde MTG (unofficial) and the Challenge decks (which I found out was discontinued ๐Ÿ˜ฅ ). I'm waiting for my best friend to have the time and inclination to check it out but I look forward to it. Between the two of us, we have a lot of cards so I'm excited to put them to use again!
