Picking up new hobbies, investing in them far beyond what would be considered a casual interest, then getting bored or disillusioned with the community after 6-24 months.

• Foam dart blasters
• yo yos
• magic the gathering (This was like 15 years)
• coin collecting
• juggling
• pocket knives
• archery
• running
• Currently working on 3D printing, though that’s been more of a means to get back into foam blasters because it’s far cheaper to print your own blasters and mod parts.

This year wasn’t great for MTG. Modern Horizons 3 warped multiple formats and most of standard was just magic characters in silly hats. The thing that pushed it over the edge for me was the commander fiasco. Everything about that situation from the rules committee making unhealthy decisions, Hasbro taking control and the fan base sending death threats crushed my will to keep going after playing for the last 15 years. Haven’t bought a card since.

Bloomburrow was pretty cool though. Wish we had blocks again so we could have spent more time there. Foundations seems interesting but I can’t bring myself to give Hasbro any more of my money.
