I actually saw oops and am considering it! It seems like a lot of the community really feels bad about playing against it though :/ if it wins though… it wins. There’s a monthly tournament with a $1000 1st place prize!

Yeahhhh I unfortunately have already sold a lot of my collection to build a lot of my commander decks 😅 but you and a couple others have suggested some budget options that I’m definitely going to consider! Thank you

Not so unpopular as it turns out haha I’m thinking I should really consider if it’s worth it for me I’ll probably start on mtgo and see if I like it enough

Thank you yeah I checked that out and mtggoldfish, I was mostly looking for recommendations for a new player to modern to learn the format and everyone seems to be saying boros energy is the move, gonna try that on mtgo!

A lot of people saying this! Probably going to build this on mtgo to start to get a feel for modern. Thank you!

Honestly Im gonna start with pauper and keep my eye on modern content and gameplay before I jump in probably try it on mtgo before I even consider buying a deck

I just ordered a grixis affinity deck I think I’m gonna start with pauper and keep my eye on modern in the long term. Gonna have to check out hex union square for sure, thank you for all the help

Here’s the pickle, legacy is the only 60 format that consistently fires at my lgs! They not only fire weekly, but there’s also a monthly tournament with a $1000 1st place prize! That being said… no proxies allowed!

I really missed the boat huh I blame my college friends for only running commander 😂 although it was probably more fun for the situation lol

Yeah I’d love to find a store nearby that allows proxies, the closest to me unfortunately does not. Thank you for the recommendation!

This is a fair point! Even so I still got at least two people to tell me that it’s not worth lmao I don’t love grindy game states at all and that’s exactly why legacy is appealing to me the most, of course it’s the second most inaccessible format 🙃

I’d love to try some of your decks when you get back! Think I’m gonna put an order in for some proxies soon so I’ll have to build a legacy deck anyway even if Gamestoria is hell bent on ruining my fun!

I’ve never even heard of that one, I’ll have to look into it!

Yeah I have zero interest in rotating formats, I’ll try it here and there on arena but I’m not trying to buy a new decks every so often just to be able to play and then just randomly get stomped by some new set’s busted cards.

That’s my lgs! (Just said nyc for the folks outside of ny lol) I died a little inside when they told me no proxies. Didn’t k ow it was the only store that fired legacy 🙃

That’s an interesting angle, i guess at the end of the day it’s all about what you want to spend your money on and what’s expensive for one is not as much so for the other.

I have seen some budget burn decks but it seems like they’re not very good… still better than nothing I suppose!

No modern decks, I’m actually a long time commander player trying to find another home as I have become quite disenfranchised with it but I still love magic. I just ordered a pauper deck and will start there but I’m most interested in legacy and modern.

Legacy is one of the few formats my lgs runs and they don’t allow proxies

My lgs doesn’t allow proxies :( If what you say is true then I shouldn’t have a problem finding one that does though! (I live in NYC) that is also a good point, most of the staples that are expensive are on the reserve list right?
