I'm a semi-Vorthos. I couldn't keep up with all the sets and just check in to scryfall every couple of months to see what is new. I made a Yargle and Multani deck for fun, but don't really have anyone to play against.
I got into the game at a really strange time -2018. Every set felt like a very big deal then, and it really wasn't that long ago! When my standard decks rotated in 2020, I never felt the need to make a new one. There's just so many dang rules to keep up with, and the sets just started to rocket from one low-stakes episode of scooby-doo to another.
My favorite part about Magic are the planes. I love the settings so much, but there's no longer any sense of weight and mystery to them.
There's meaning to be found in embracing the notion that moving a room of 10 with something profound is magnitudes better for the world than getting high viewership on a "Top 10".
woof did spice8rack’s tarkir video not make the cut?
But seriously this article feels like a cornucopia of good vorthos content. I wish I had the creative brains to make stuff like this but I will always happily read/watch stuff about my favorite game.
I own some 50 MTG books, a dozen comic books, the first four issues of The Duelist, and a couple issues of The Sideboard. I love my collection, but it is feeling increasingly irrelevant, and it's been years since I met another player with even a passing interest in any of it.
The Vorthos is Dead. Long Live the Vorthos!

I needed this. I’ve been thinking about Magic a lot lately and been making too many excuses to myself to not write more about it. Thanks Sam.
