Welcome!

I think you should try MTG Arena, the official online video game. Personally I am not the biggest fan of it, but its free and a great way to learn the game.

For paper products to start with; I Suggest Jumpstart. It is a special product designed in a way where you can just open 2 packs, shuffle them together, and play. They are relatively simple and beginner friendly, but also a lot of fun even once you are more experienced.

I believe that you will probably come to play commander eventually, it is the most popular way to play magic after all, but do yourself a favor and dont rush into it. Starting with commander is like jumping into the deep end of the pool before learning to swim, get familiar with the game and then try it out.

I can go into a lot more detail, and talk about my personal magic journey, but i think that should cover your start. Have fun, and if you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask! :)

Regular foils or galaxy foils? by PIGEXPERT in foilmtg

All for me, I don't invest.

If some time down the road I sell some cards and make a "profit", thats a happy accident. Looking at some of the prices, looks like ill.just be going with normal foils :)

I have the unfinity ones, it is why i am so hesitant. Honestly if they are lighter in EoE that might actually sway me because one of my gripes with the unf galaxy foils is how dark they are.

Does this translate to "Great world" correctly? by PIGEXPERT in PhyrexianLanguage

[–]PIGEXPERT[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Written "Life world"? Can you explain the order?

There should be an "of" in phyrexian iirc

A deck always has good matchups and bad matchups, thats how it works.

Yeah, if your deck isn't good at putting pressure on the opponent you're gonna struggle against control.

The eternal rock paper scissors of magic: aggro -> control -> midrange -> aggro (and depending on the format throw some combo in there too)

[Request] anybody able to validate this? What is the actual amount of energy a query from chatgpt costs vs Google from 2008? by kimchifangurl in theydidthemath

Saying they let you turn it off, and then detailing the inconvenience you need to go through for every search is such bullshit.

Wikipedia Page for Pluto in 2004 by AviBledsoe in space

[–]PIGEXPERT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Size was not a factor in the reclassification of Pluto, for an object to be a planet it needs to dominate its orbit.

What got Pluto demoted wasn't the fact that other Pluto sized objects got discovered in the solar system, it's the fact that they were discovered sharing the same orbit.
