I'm here after the 2024 ban.....THIS is what I agree with. When I got started with magic in late 2018, commander got me started and then I got into old school. Now, it's like people complain about the game being "too powerful". I played commander because it was fun. When I experienced some play at a store, everyone was way too concerned about "what's in your deck"? Everything was just too competitive BUT at the same time, these folks would complain if you had "powerful" cards. Here's an example. A friend gifted me a premium slivers deck (sweet gift too). I never played with that deck before. So, I transformed it into a five color Commander deck. It was not competitive at all. The only slivers were the ones that came with the deck that he gifted me. (Trust me, I understand the slivers thing). I just wanted to see if the deck would work because the land base was a joke. The guy I was playing against who I'd only known for a couple of months was wanting to test out a deck of his that he was also proxing a few very powerful cards. I told him let's play. He beat me handedly in the first round because his deck was able to go off with some kind of infinite combo. Second round I happen to draw just the right cards to beat him with 10 poison. I even had to double check my board state just to make sure I beat him correctly. I was actually surprised that I won. He was completely disgusted when he found out it was poison counters. I looked him dead in the eye and said, "Game 3?" To which he replied "I don't feel like playing anymore" and he grabbed his deck and walked to a different table. I was dumbfounded. Come to find out this guy actually whines a lot about losing. If his sensei's divining top doesn't help him the game, he's always in a bad mood. I wish I could say this is the only issue I've ever run into. This is why I'm currently seeking out old school players along with actual EDH players. If you, Edwin, or other folks on here could point me in the direction of online players/ tournaments that would be incredibly helpful. I like how this game plays in the original intentions. Old school seems fairly balanced Even if you're only playing good budget decks, like me. Thanks for the video. Wish I had seen it years ago. I hope the old EDH community as well as the old school community are still kicking very well today.

I was wondering why you sort from Artifacts all the way to White instead of following the color wheel, but then I realized what you were doing.
@EdwintheMagicEngineer 4 ай бұрын
It's a good question honestly, because the way you sort your collection will optimize it for one thing or another. My collection was optimized around the purpose of building decks, not for completing collections. Since I never need more then 4 copies of anything nearly all extra's beyond 4 were traded away or sold. That REALLY thinned out the collection. The color separation happens because building a deck always must consider the colors in it. If I already have a certain color it makes most sense to find options in that color before adding another. Also if all of the Blue cards starting with the letter G are in one spot, it makes it very easy to find the one I'm looking for. The reason for the order Artifact, Black, Blue, Green, Red, White, Gold, Lands is partially alphabetical... why does it go from left to right? I'm really not sure. It just felt right to start that way and it's always remained. This section could change and it would not impact collecting or deck building so it's way more random. For the record, the plan is working. I can build decks and tear down decks in a tiny fraction of the time it takes others. Even though I have 30 years worth of cards in there, if I make my deck list electronically... I can pull the cards for it within perhaps 4 minutes. Also, since I only bother with 4 copies of any card... I'm free to trade away or sell extras allowing that value to instead expand my collection into stuff I didn't own before. One ONE BIG PAIN with this plan... is when I get new cards it's a bit of a pain to sort those and file away. It's irritating to me when WoTC does a lot of reprints for old cards... because if I already had 2 of a certain card, and now I get another 7 from a new print... I need to find all 9 then choose which are the 4 I keep etc.

When nuclear energy was finally harnessed for the first time, we made it into a bomb and killed millions with it. When the first car was made, it was revolutionary and just awful for performance even with 15 years of improvement on the technology. Bitcoin was made to be a free de-centralized currency... and what does the world do with it? Effectively said "screw using it as money, I'm going to speculate on it." And off it went with EVERYBODY (you included) buying it to make profit. Go ahead and try to convince me that everybody you know does NOT own it primarily to make profit.

The hotter it becomes, the farther away from being cold. Well MONEY and INVESTMENT are just like that. The better something is at being an Investment... the worse it is at being money.

The more stable it is the better it serves the purpose of exchanging value from one party to another. Just think about this for a second... imagine that Bitcoin achieves it's own stated goal and someday becomes the BEST form of world money.... on that day it becomes clear to everybody holding it... "The value of this asset will no longer change." Remember, they ALL bought it as an investment... so what do you think 99.99% of the Bitcoin holders will do with their Bitcoin on the day it becomes totally stable?!?? Sell it. Yes.

If money must by definition be stable, but investment must by definition be volatile (profit is made in the swings) then how does something which 99.99% of the people buying it do it FOR investment... convert to totally stable (thus making it a terrible investment) without them all selling it? If Bitcoin is supposed to be such a good form of money, it has a market cap well into the Billions and millions of people all over the world who believe in it... why is nearly nobody (like literally NOBODY) using it on a daily basis for transactions even though it's been out for over 10 years? How will the blockchain size problem and network scaling problems ever be fixed?
