Also the quote on this card is just great, isn’t it? I spent hours as a kid just reading the quotes of cards over and over again.

A while back I gave all my MTG cards to a friend. Seeing stuff like this really makes me remember why I enjoyed it so much, but I really can’t shake all the non-setting stuff. It is too much. There is such a vibe to it when MTG is going strong.

I get weak at the knees for some shapeshifters, myr, or undead cards with cool quotes (<3 Black Knight). I do miss my Hakkon deck that I built as a direct response to my friends unholy elven deck. Felt appropriate that I gave it to him. Look upon your defeat, scrub.

EDIT: Now I am just having happy memory lane so hope it doesn’t bother anyone. I think I spent like $90 getting all the specific cards for that deck. For context I was young and that was a lot of money. My friend was well off but also very lazy and just went off what he could build from a ton of booster packs. To young me it felt like I overcame the oligarchy.
