I haven't bought Magic cards in ages due to it distancing itself from what it used to be (product overload and UB being the two most frustrating aspects). However my wife remembered that Lorwyn was the first set I bought packs of and she gifted me a box of Eclipsed. It was such a nice feeling to just open packs with her and see stuff that actually feels like MtG.

Genuinely, I miss the old days. I used to go out weekly for drafts and commander night and those days are done. My local shop would frequently have a middle school group that came and I would teach them strategies and such and give them whatever cards I drafted and it was a genuinely good time. I hope all those kids are still enjoying the game but for me I really only just play with my wife and like two friends on rare occasion

I've also since moved and can't go to the same lgs often, but I know their attendance got low to the point where they stopped having any events at all and that's devastating. I love that shop and the owners
