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.
Yeah, the third-party stuff has been a drag, especially with 2026 sets having more non-MTG original sets than in-universe sets. Doesn't hurt to enjoy the good stuff when it comes around though, even if you only want to look at the cards and soak in the flavor through that
