I first played Magic in the mid 90s, and didn’t care for it because I loved Blood Wars. But recently, my son and I tried getting back into to it. I liked it at first, but I’m completely turned off by, “now buy the hobbit cards, now buy x-men cards, here’s the Xena: Warrior Princess set…”

It depends on how old you are. While I always had a back problem (I was born with) I never really knew physical problems until I turned 40. Now that I’m 45, my elbow hurts from holding a book. My back hurts from… sleeping. I get cold when the temp is below 30. I’m not as pretty as I used to be…
