I've been playing MTG (and many many physical/digital attempts at recreating that nostalgic experience) going on two decades, now. I attempted to get into Hearthstone, but having already dabbled in nearly a dozen other digital TCG's prior to it, I was immediately turned off by its poor progression system. It doesn't help that Blizzard was already quickly moving to the top of my "least favorite game devs" list after multiple tragic failures :*(

I briefly cover my journey of TCG discovery in my GU introduction, if you're interested.

Glad you enjoyed the post, and here's to hopin' I can keep it up! Merry Christmas to ya!
