@approxinfinity Edge and Outlaws brought me back in. Fantastic flavor. Easy to burn out with how much product they pump out these days.

Ok did not know there was an MTG following in this group! My buddy got me into it right after the lord of the rings set and I’m hooked. Play mostly commander at this point but love going to more releases. I might skip marvel though.
Privilege isn't nonsense.

Anyone use spell table?

But to the original purpose of the thread, I’m still here. Feel like I’m just holding on for the ride since 2020. Lost a few people, partner has stage 4 breast cancer, her mom has stage 1. My partners non profit also went under so she’s without a job. My team of five at work has been cut to just me for next year. But still kicking. Really wish the Jayhawks would get good again. But we have a 2.5 year old who makes it all worth it. Rock chalk jayhawk were within his first 20 words. lol

I'm on again off again since 1995. Best part is that there are so many ways to play.

My condolences, cancer really sucks. If I remember right, you are a teacher? Seems like more people are leaving that line of work than joining these days.

@BShark moved to the district level a few years back. The funding for education in Texas is a mess. Add that in with a government purposely trying to dismantle public education and yeah, a lot of folks are leaving or being cut out. I’ve been lucky to work with great people who really care but sucks that they get cut while others without the skills and passion end up making more and failing upwards. Dont think thats just an education problem though.

@BShark may your new carpet offgasing be brief and your mtg mechanics be synergistic in unforeseen delightful ways. Fairly recently we got a few boxes of mtg avatar set. Artwork was true to the show and pretty.
Any good pulls? I liked the avatar set too.

@benshawks08 I'm praying for your family to be cancer free.

In the thick of Baseball season currently with my son and he’s having an excellent season so far. Coaching one of his two teams for the first time after being a helper off and on at times over the past few years. His other team is a travel team so we are on the road a lot and both leagues are ongoing at the same time so lots of fun managing the logistics. My son is also a pitcher and a good one at that so I’m constantly juggling how much rest his arm needs. Overall though it’s a fun journey to be involved with as a parent now.
Also in the middle of several home projects, flooring in our downstairs, new roof and some kitchen upgrades.
Took the boy to a Redsox/ Yankee game in Fenway. Had never been and it’s iconic so that was a great bday gift and glad we did it. Won’t be our last
I’m hopeful others will share their story whether positive or negative
