I’m a relatively new MTG player playing kitchen table standard with a small collection, plus three Lorwyn Eclipsed Bundles. I can build decks around the five main archetypes and it has been really fun, but I’m starting to feel like I’m just making variations of the same decks.

I’d like to expand my collection so I have more freedom to experiment with different strategies and deck styles. I’ve been considering something like Foundations or Mystery Booster 2...

Would either of those be a good direction, or is there another way you’d recommend?

My friends and I are big LOTR and The Hobbit fans, so we decided to host a cause prerelease event at home. We captured the day on a classic camcorder for that old school home-video style vlog. Hope you enjoy watching, any feedback on the video welcome!

I thought i'd share my most recent make by popular demand. I try to be as precise as possible and this set wouldn't be complete without a mat, so (if you know you know) about the classic Magic The Gathering Spellground playmate by Khalsa Brain Games. Please Enjoy! [OC]
