Somebody stop me

I've always liked the GAME of Magic: the Gathering.
It's a good, simple, straightforward game that grew way beyond what its creator anticipated.
I've been in and out of the game about three times. Last time I sold of the vast majority of my cards for a pittance just to make space for other stuff.

Now I found out thanks to the "Geek and Sundry" youtube channel that there's a tablet app. Free. Which I downloaded.

Now I kinda want to pick up some cards again.

I don't want to dive in to a competetive environment. That's what pisses me off about the game - the fact that if you want to win events you need a deck full of expensive rares.
At my LGS when I last played the bulk of players had tuned to heck decks, often with some of the older stupidpowerfulbroken cards, that annihilated the stuff I put together because I kinda liked the cards and there was a chance they'd do something fun. But it looks like it should be fairly straightforward and inexpensive to be able to throw together a deck like the one you start with in the app (big stompy monogreen - an archetype I've always enjoyed) by buying a couple of the precon decks, mashing them together and picking up a handful of other cards.

Wherever you go, if there is a game store there are likely MtG players, and it's a damn sight easier to stash a Magic deck in your pocket than it is a Warmachine army.

Hum.
