If you find several words in a paragraph boring, feel free to scroll down and look at more pictures. This article will certainly be the least visually appealing of all my articles.
At my high school, Harrison Trimble, we have our own "Dungeons & Dragons" club. In addition to that, I have several friends who play Magic as well. For every second that's availible, we always try to squeeze in little matches. Whether it be at lunch, during guided study or even in the middle of class. I have a group of people around me that enjoy doing what I enjoy doing! This article is going to be dedicated to them.
Dungeons & Dragons Club
This club was something I wanted to start a long time ago, when I was in grade 9. It's a shame that I was too lazy/unmotivated to even try to start this group. Now that I'm in grade 12, all I can say is that it is better late than never. This group goes on all the way through lunch hour. We play DND and Magic while we scream bad words at eachother. Certainly the high point of my school day.
How I got interested in Magic
One day, I was at Wall-Mart during the time where Return to Ravnica just came out. I couldn't stop looking at these cards. I don't even remember why I was there in the first place, all I know is that something intrigued me. I picked up a M13 intro pack that was blue, it had a foil "Talrand, the Sky Summoner" in it. I couldn't help but to buy it, I just couldn't.
Months passed and me and my buddies would go to "Gamezilla" every Thursday. Each of us would blow about 10 bucks every week on booster packs and never really get anything great out of them. Those were the times where we had bad decks that didin't do anything special. Those were the fun days.
A Conclusion
Seeing how fun those days were, I compare it to now. The feeling of cracking open booster packs, wondering what you were going to get and not knowing all the rares in the set by heart. Now, the game has become a obsession of mine. I know all the rares in each of the recent sets. I know probabilities of what I could get inside of a booster pack. I buy singles rather than packs and I worry about how much a card costs rather than what it does. It's become a game of construction and theme rather than a game of exploration and surprise.
The point of this is, do not forget to have fun! Do more booster drafts! ;)
