Thanks James! I agree, it’s tempting to be able to dive back into Limited or a game of Pauper whenever I feel like it. I just don’t want to get too deep down the rabbit hole and actually start spending money on Magic instead of making it!

Yeahh…. Live and learn, I guess! I might just focus on Pauper if I decide to stick around, it’s probably a lot harder to lose money there 😉

Thanks for the kind words, PJ! I don’t really think this is going to be a full-fledged series, partially because of the reasons that Ben Cottee stated earlier. While it’s fun to write and read, this series doesn’t actually help any of you make back those dollars you spend on the subscription fee. My common/uncommon bulk focus does that. I’ll definitely try to visit this subject again every now and then, and probably staple some little MTGO updates to my usual articles, but I’m not really looking to become a MTGO expert 🙂

I like what you are doing with this article. I think it is important for paper players to check out MTGO. MTGO is far from perfect, and doesn’t look as sexy as something like hearthstone, but it does allow people to play more magic, and it is good at that. If you plan to continue this series of articles I would focus more on getting people to experience MTGO, instead of the finance aspect. Like anything, MTGO finance takes time, effort, and practice to get good at, so I recommend defering to the other mtgo finance writers on this site. But I do like that this article encourages people to check out the platform.

Thank you! As a paper Magic player who is un-tech savvy, I have always wondered about transitioning to MTGO. The ease at which you can find games (preferably Legacy) and play at your leisure is quite appealing, especially with the difficulty of getting a local play group together every week.

I must admit that my unfamiliarity with the online platform is a major hurdle for me getting into MTGO. So I appreciate the information you have provided AND the scope of your article. Looking forward to more insight from your experience! Good luck!

But it is interesting and I want to hear more.
