On the topic of each card effectively being its own rule, on one hand it can feel overwhelming for new players, but on the other hand, I think it does a good job of slowly building up more complex scaffolding for someone just starting out. It helps the rules feel flexible with lots of room for creative interactions, while other games of similar complexity feel much more rigid. I remember that as a kid, my first two tabletop obsessions were TCGs and the LOTR version of Warhammer. As much as I enjoyed the wargame, every time we played, it was a days-long constant back and forth whiplash between the table and the thick, complex, rigid rulebook. Me and my brothers went through 5+ different TCGs, though, just because of the fact that we could take 2 minutes to read the tiny rules pamphlet that came with a pre-made deck and jump straight into playing the game, since every rule that we need is right there on the table
The unsleeved riffle shuffle. 😱😂
And lots of ‘em!
I couldn't help but smile all the way through the video. You both seem like such awesome dudes.
Thanks! I really appreciate it.

I wish progression leagues/events were more common. It's a great way to get into playing standard.
