This would be very exciting news if I could still play some magic. Unfortunately, I tend to find myself in a cycle of spending $300 a quarter on sets for it for about a year, finding myself out $1,200, and vowing to never play again. I miss a couple of blocks, look at the cards again when I’m picking up some board game or RPG stuff, and find myself hooked right back. Apparently good art and complicated rules are my heroin, and pretty much all of Wizards’ grown up stuff taps right into a vein.
