Well the last three months I have played fuck all Magic the Gathering. Due to a wide combination factors but one of them was certainly lack of interest. The relentless pace of previews just sometimes makes the game exhausting to think about.

Another three month period, another two full Magic The Gathering sets released. Full size sets this time unlike Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The first was Secrets of Strixhaven released on April 24th and then Marvel Superheroes released on June 26th. How could Marvel Superheroes possibly be bad releasing on such an auspicious date?

Thanks to Wizards of the Coast’s insane release schedule we are only three months into the year and there are already two sets out with a third coming in April. To be honest neither of the two sets released so far this year interested me that much. The first set Lorwyn Eclipsed left me entirely cold. I have no interest in the plane. I’ve no interest in it’s aesthetics. I did pick up the Auntie Ool -1/-1 counters precon deck. I like counter decks and I hadn’t played with a -1/-1 deck before. But after seeing it played at Commander night I went off the idea entirely. It looks just fucking annoying to play against and I don’t really want to inflict that on people. Other than that deck I only bought a few singles, around eight or nine, to update my existing decks. None of the other legendaries really make me want to build a deck around them.
