I've been playing more and more magic recently, and have been even maintaining both a modern deck (izzet murktide sorry) and a pioneer deck (arclight Phoenix though it's not suuuuper strong rn) I don't really play commander because unfortunately none of my friends IRL actually play with me!

Was just curious if anyone else had been doing anything in MTG recently, or had any thoughts on the new cards coming in the Lord of the Rings set. Personally, as someone who doesn't play commander, it doesn't seem super impactful on Modern, though I'm hardly an expert on card evaluation so maybe someone else could (though there's a counter on creatures with MV under 2 for just one blue so maybe that'll be worth picking up)

I haven't played MTG since like 2004. I wouldn't even know where to start to hop back into it or if the game would even be recognizable to me now if I did. I actually sort of went and looked at modern Yu-Gi-Oh and it feels like a different game entirely than what I remember lol

It's a very different game, creatures for example are waaaaaaaaaaaay stronger these days, there's several new card types, stuff like that. Though at the core things are not that different
