Do you play tabletop Magic at your local game store (LGS)? Perhaps you prefer the convenience of Magic: The Gathering Online (MTGO) or Magic: The Gathering Arena on your computer. Or maybe you like playing on your phone or tablet with the Android version. Let me know how you play and what your preferred platform is!

I used to play MTGO on Linux through Wine, but it stopped working. Trying it in a VM was too laggy. So I finally bought a cheap Windows machine primarily to run MTGA and MTGO smoothly. Personally, the convenience of digital clients has won me over, but I have fond memories of Friday Night Magic at my LGS, specially a $1 entry format we played with crappy decks and store credit prizes because I liked the nostalgia of it being similar to when I started playing instead of the competitiveness of the typical standard format, where it seems like all the decks are similar netdeck copies.

One had two minor strokes, didn’t do terrible damage but it does mean he gets tired more easily. The other has a concussion after a mountain bike fall, wasn’t a bad fall either, but it had much the same effect as the stroke had.

Were late 30s so it feels a little early for these things, but luckily I really like playing mtg so I don’t mind that part…

Wow, didn’t know a concussion could actually cause such long term issues.

Hope they recover and sorry if my initial comment was tactless.
