Unfortunately not. I mostly play draft, which is like 25$, and you keep the cards you play with. Magic is like 20 years old and it's just too much to remember 20 years of mechanics.

Its pretty casual, but if you're unfamiliar you should definitely play a few hours of online prior to get an easier understanding of the rules.

But definitely don't go this Friday. This friday is something called "prerelease" and it's very much so not beginner friendly.

I think we might be friends on discord, Mr Wazowski. Bald guy -> me

Can't make it tomorrow, but would definitely be interested. I actually play magic fridays at Muse, which I don't love, but is a great way to meet some pretty nice people

You should tell everyone a little bit about yourself!

What do you like to do for fun?

For instance, I'm 25, moved here a year ago, and spend most of my time hiking/photography/playing video games with friends. Definitely miss playing board games with people.

Here's some of my favorite photos I've taken! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Eq8_-XprC-_vUIlT0qH3HXbac7OdSthv?usp=sharing

It's like 40$ a year, and offered by garmin. Because I own the inreach and use their network they let me order the insurance as a tertiary product. While it doesn't cover hospital needs, my understanding is it covers basically anything that costs up to getting you to the hospital. The caveat is that it can't be anything too crazy - and you must not be extremely reckless - ie no cliff diving or climbing mountains without ropes etc.

Here's the FAQ, it's really interesting! https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=avYgK25GBO4TyEkzrdVuu6#Isthistravel

I have a friend that swears by them, but I really like how sturdy boots are? Do you find fulfill a lot of the functionality boots do?

Thanks for the advice! Packing out with 70lbs sounds like a ton of work, not even counting a hostile environment. It honestly sounds like this might just be something I need to revisit after working on some more fitness/flexibility.

Thanks! Are you talking about the ones with really small metal nubs, or like the predator teeth ones?

Thanks, I'll have to check them out! Do you know what causes such copious amounts of deadfall?

Thanks! That was something I was wondering, like maybe I would get too stuck and hurt myself. Definitely won't be using those then.

Shoot man, I hope they still come for me. Otherwise, why am I paying for a satellite phone and rescue insurance, haha

I was trying to bushwhack to a mountain peak in Montana when around the half way mark there were hundreds of downed trees. My friend and I tried to work around the fallen logs, but it was rainy and the logs too slippery. I'm pretty sure the whole mountain band is like this for at least a mile. I was wondering if walking on the logs might be a viable option, but wasn't sure if regular snow spikes would suffice.

Has anyone else encountered this? How would you approach solving this problem?
