That's cool! I didn't get to play in any because of theater, but I got a Set booster box and a few prerelease kits. I was happy that I got a Marsh Flats as a PR Promo and opened a foil Ragavan.

I played a vax only prerelease and it was ok but playing paper magic again is incredible and then I went out for drinks with friends for the first time in a year and that was also incredible.

If only this was possible in Texas. Playing paper card games in general as been a very great feeling again.

Also D3F are you planning on going to the Hunter Burton?

Not sure if everyone knows this or not but one of the things I've spent the pandemic doing is building a gauntlet of old historical standard decks I loved from the past 20 or so years of magic to battle against each other.

Here is UB psychatog!

I've been toying around with the idea of printing little insert cards to go with them so people will have some idea about what the decks contain, so I did some fiddling around tonight and here is a first draft.

Images are super blurry since I just took a screenshot of the preview tool on the print company I was using.

The red line isn't in the design its to show where the print cut line is.

Any feedback would be most welcome.

If it's for a casual experience I think I would want to have the winning line described but not get a spoiler on what all cards are in so that I get to be like "man that creature is annoying me oh cool this deck has chainers edicts in it"
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

Yeah I think I'll just tell people the decklist is on the back if they want it so they don't have to look at it.

Also I've noticed that some people just prefer to grab a deck and shuffle up without even looking at what's in it and I respect that.

Didn't they sell this deck as a premade after that win?

I'm pretty sure I bought this deck as a premade.

They did. World champs decks are a thing. They've been pretty handy for getting some of the more pricy cards in some of the other decks.

I think it's cool how older magic cards reference cards that happen much, much later. Time spiral has to be the coolest block.

Looks like they're changing how werewolves work (at least new werewolves, dunno if old ones will be changed) to sometimes enter on the flipped side with a Day/Night token? https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comme ... ght_token/

As someone whos first deck was 'red innistrad cards means I can put Cobbled Wings on werewolves and have FLYING WEREWOLVES' this is of great interest to me

Psychic Spiral dropping before Innistrad rotated out was the high point of standard for me.
