I actually prefer Historic over Explorer because I like playing with the older cards on Arena that aren’t Pioneer legal. Definitely harder to get into though, I’ve been playing since launch and already have a large collection.

The most recent event they’ve pulled data from as of my checking was yesterday. So fairly up to date yeah.

I know MTGO is clunky and takes getting used to, but I recommend you get it and look into Penny Dreadful. It’s a community run format with weekly tournaments and monthly leagues.

Only cards worth 2 cents and less on MTGO are legal, and they check prices and rotate the legal cards the week after every standard set releases.

The power level is not as weak as you’d expect, since cards banned in other formats have a tendency to drop in price significantly on MTGO. It’s honestly like playing a really inexpensive Legacy.

In person I mostly play commander. I’ve also got a small collection of proxy modern decks that my partner and I play at home from time to time.

Digitally I play Explorer and Historic on Arena, and I’ve recently had a lot of fun playing Penny Dreadful on MTGO.

If you’re just playing casually I recommend you get proxies printed. That’s the absolute cheapest way to play any format you want.

You can print your own at home, or if you want something similar in quality to actual cards I suggest you check out MPC. There’s also a really handy website that makes the whole process of ordering from MPC very easy.

Went LARPing for the first time in 10 years this weekend. Normally I play video games, hang out with friends wargaming, build/paint minis, and 3D Print stuff. I try to go to a weekend wargaming tournament at least once a month.

I uninstalled RIF tonight and keep finding myself searching for it on my home screen lol Will get used to it eventually I guess. I’m opening Jerboa every time I catch myself to retrain myself.

It’s a bit devastating to lose such a good resource. So many communities for niche games and hobbies that I won’t be able to comfortably access without my 3rd party app. I just hope Lemmy continues to grow and fill those niches for me again.

I signed up for KBin but can’t log in. I’ve seen similar complaints from others. I’m assuming they’re either seriously overloaded or something has gone wrong on their end.
