My wife hates it when I bend air in the car.

That's cause you didn't put it in cute apothecary jars.

It's awkward when you're driving.

Maybe your wife could man the jars while you man the wheel.. I don't think you can find an example of a more magical experience between two people.

Wives gathering the wind of their husbands is a tale as long as Merlin's beard.

I'm shopping around for older cards to incorporate into this neat green black deck I built and keep evolving, eventually I want to make it a commander deck. I don't really want to go play with strangers but I'm getting really bored of playing with my bf lol and tbh I'm tired of winning all the time lol.

For me personally, older cards means 2007 and older. Back when the artwork on the cards was way more varied and interesting. Thankfully, there's this board game store nearby that has these large containers full of old magic cards. You can just buy them in piles for very little money, so I've been going for all sorts of old-school cool

Also, while I might be wrong, I feel certain that there used to be some sort of non-commercial, fan run online magic platform. Wouldn't wonder if it has been shut down a long time ago, now that Wizards of the Coast have all these paid Magic games on PC.

You make a fair point.

Anyone else playing the Arena beta?

Magic is fun to tinker with the game mechanics with. I started playing when I was a kid, around the time Mirage came out, and I quit playing after Mirrodin block. I've kept up here and there with some of the mechanics after that, but I haven't really bothered to. Magic is pretty straight forward though, basically you just do what the card says. They've really simplified the **** out of the rules over the years. I haven't actually bought cards in years but if I did it'd mostly just be a bunch of old cards anyway for me to build some older decks of mine. Only guy I know that plays around here still is one of my best friends who tried to hang himself and survived and is now on disability. He doesn't go out anymore, so I come by to see him, play some Magic over drinking scotch, and talking with him. How to teach someone how to play Magic: "White heals things, Green grows things, Red burns things, Black reanimates things, and Blue just says: "No."
