This year sucked.
However some things worked.
Tops Video game of the year Magic the Gathering Arena
Arena reignited my interest in Magic for the first time since the Scars of Mirrodin block (2010-2011). Right after New Phyrexia was released I ended up putting my time into fighting games, especially Vampire Savior and I didn’t have any time for Magic anymore.
After playing this game a lot off and on since about a month before the open beta I’ve also bought a decent amount of cards and attended a prerelease.
