Oh i've been playing magic since I was little. I have never been good at it but i've always liked it. I recently built a partially proxy vampire deck that i'm probably never gonna get to play again, but it works!! Their is something so satisfying about building something that does what you meant it to do. Even if that thing is just making a lot of vampire tokens.
I also learned a fair bit of magic lore as a kid, that I stole for my ocs in middle school.
I also had the absolute pleasure of drafting a deck with a janky alt win condition at my local game store and winning exactly once with it. I have been chasing that high.
