@JafferTTV @playriftbound Just match your play style but you’ll learn the rules and how to play in literally 2 games.
Finding a deck/legend (commander) and colour pairing that speaks to you is the best
What type of decks in mtg do you play?

I have somewhat an interest in trying @playriftbound where would I start?
Idk much about League besides the characters look cool
Seeing their competitive support & how much fun a lot of friends are having I kinda want to give it a shot. I normally don’t wanna try other TCGs 👀

In 2006, first place at a PT was 57 ounces of gold In 2026 it’s less than 11 ounces. It’s a Commander world, you’re all just living in it with whatever crumbs fall off the table

As someone just getting into magic
What’s a GP did these just become spotlights?

Calling it Spotlight instead of GP is mindblowing.

Games have hidden dimensions that aren't often talked about.
One thing I noticed about Magic the Gathering pros which i wonder if still holds true - a lot of them don't pay attention to their timing at all.
I would often get very strong reads on what someone did or didn't have based on the timing of their play.
This reverses at the top-top levels.
I once saw Jon Finkel (one of the goats) draw a card that protected his creature from a removal spell, then pass the turn. On his opponent's turn - the creature was removed. Jon didn't even blink, he instantly binned it - he had already made the decision not to save it beforehand.
A more personal story is me against Antoine Ruel (another goat) - we had a very complicated board state, low on time, and were both playing very fast.
Out of nowhere he suddenly played a removal spell, attacked me with 13 creatures, and played a pump spell on the unblocked one to hit me for exactly lethal damage when I was at 15 life.
He had done all the calculations in his head without giving it away, and so it caught me completely by surprise.
The timing dimension exists in poker as well, and not many people who aren't elite are aware and know how to use it.
The lower the stakes you play the more information people give away. And even the guys who try to have "same timing for everything" tend to give away quite a lot on the occasions when they accidentally forget.
