[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 8765449, member: 6796661"] MtG came out just as I was starting college. I remember really disliking the whole idea of it. I saw it as reducing D&D to a card game. I never played it, so was not an informed opinion, but it just didn't interest me at all. Around the same time I stopped gaming as life took me in other directions. Fast forward to 2010s. My sons got into Pokemon. Seemed like kids in grade school were mostly trading the cards rather than playing the game, but I learned the game and enjoyed playing with my kids. But the whole collectible card game and random blister packs just rub me the wrong way. I was glad when my kids grew out of it. I much prefer card games like smash up where you can buy different packs, know exactly what you are getting, and whatever two decks you smash up are pretty fairly balanced against whatever two decks the other players combine. My younger son and his friends are now getting into Magic the Gathering. [I]Sigh[/I]. But I support it. Brings more money to the company making the game I DO like. :-). I quite liked Ravnica and would be happy to see more MtG settings come to D&D. I don't know anything about its other settings, but Ravnica was a fun read and it was nice to have a new setting that wasn't just rehashing classic D&D settings. [/QUOTE]
