I dislike how I open a booster pack and get a Mythic, I know it's the worst version of that card.

I sold my collection 6 years ago for nearly $12k. Used that money to pay off my car, pay for the rest of my college tuition, and put the rest into savings.

I don't regret that decision at all, and today's iteration of magic really reinforces that idea that I made the right choice.

I visit this subreddit from time to time because I learned I enjoy magic in a draft vacuum and nothing more.

I'm not one for nostalgia, but I agree that magic as it was is better than how it is today. Standard sucks (I tried arena multiple times) and modern is boring as and stale as well. Don't even get me started about the cesspool that is heroic.

The most fun I've ever had playing magic was legacy (even better than draft) but that format isn't even supported anymore and no one can even afford to play.

Wizards has stopped caring about the quality of their game and instead has focused on the bottom dollar. This is evidenced in the point of OP's post but it also is a good explanation about why magic is no longer fun...

It's too bad, really.
