As someone completely new to Magic but very well versed in Final Fantasy, they finally got me into the game with these sets.

My friend was doing an Edge of Eternities prerelease last night, and the shop had gotten a big restock of the Cloud commanders. So now I have all of these that piqued my interest…AND one EoE commander deck because they had some for sale.

So FF was my gateway drug into this game, and now I have some “normal” Magic cards.

But I have to stop because I also have to eat. I’m sure no one here has ever had that problem.

I highly suggest playing a lot of games with the two decks on the left and get down the mechanics for Magic before doing too much commander.

All of the commander players that come into my shop that skipped playing 60 card have a very poor grasp of how Magic actually plays beyond the basic turn order.

I’ve played all of these decks so far besides the Cloud since I just opened it today.

It’s been fun so far!
