I’m kind of sad that I’m not writing more about MtG.

But since dropping Standard Showdown (WotC stopped this event for whatever reason, although my FLGS kept up the event because it had built up a community) and changing the prize support they give stores to something entirely less generous. I have not played standard. So no weekly games, or building standard decks.

The once a month Commander that I tried getting off the ground (once again) petered out after a couple of sessions. And Commander is my favourite format. So I’m not building or upgrading decks for that at the moment.

Brawl? No-one plays that over Commander when playing paper MtG. It’s a dead format everywhere other than digitally in Arena.

Pioneer is not at the moment something I’m interested in playing. I wasn’t a modern fan. So it’s a solution to a problem I don’t have. Am I tempted? Possibly. But at the moment I’m not seeing any events at my FLGS for it, and modern is a once a month thing for them. O’ve not been to the store since Pioneer was introduced, so I don’t know the likely hood that this is something they will be supporting.

I’m reluctant to try and see if there is any interest in the format locally. My track record in getting a regular MtG thing going within the club has been what can only be described as less than successful at best.

It’s a pity. It’s an amazing game.
