Then about 4 or 5 months ago I decided to sell all my cards, I had old fetches, ravnica duals, all kind of stuff, could build anything in 1.x mostly and I had a respectable pool for T2. I just didn't enjoy the game anymore, lots of friends already have quit and in my city would not have tournaments anymore. So I decided to not play, and when I didn't have the cards I felt so much better, bc when you have all the cards you feel kind of obligated to play. Now I see mtg as a different thing, I'll just buy some cards when I feel like is time to play again. For now, I enjoy analyzing new cards and building new decks online for the new seasons. Good luck for you and it's good to quit and have a breath, then look things -only if you want to play again- from a different perspective and the most important thing, is to have fun playing.

I have been in the same place for the past 6 months or so. Initially I was just going thru the motions but sooned realised that it just wasnt as high on my priorities list. I still had/have a deep love for the game but I mainly stayed in touch with people I had met thru it and used it as a vehicle for that. Then it came back. It wasnt anything in particular, no new set or card came out that excited me, I just WANTED to play more again. If we go full steam ahead with something for too long, we burn out. I did and after 6 months of fixing up my house, playing 40k andspending more time with my wife, Im ready for action again! Im sure this will happen to you!

Chris Page was my Rd2 opponent. I had a bit of Mirror "tech" - Obviously I brought in my paths, and my mirror strategy was centred around winning the Jitte fight - either by negating my opponents' Jitte, or focusing on one of my own...okay not really tech, I guess. In the "Lessons Learned" post that is upcoming ( I promise!) i'll go over some things I would have done differently re: decklist. No, it was Patty’s deck though. Chris Page was my Rd2 opponent.
