^^ the two decks I used, I played green and the ai was red. Still getting the hang of this game but with over like 50k cards in the library and endless combos it's so deep. The AI is quite smart on Forge too. I've never played MTG in my life so this is all new to me.
Buy or make proxies, don't play with pretentious assholes that refuse to play someone with proxies because of x, y , or z, make them distinguishable from a real one so you don't get accused of x, y, or z , and have fun. There's no reason to drop thousands on cardboard, ink, and glue.
Edit: also MTG can become an easy allegorical teaching tool for flaws of capitalism, and may or may not be used to radicalize those who are reachable through gameplay and them realizing 9/10 times it's a pay to win game.
I've been trying to use it as a teaching tool and I've had minor to no success so far. One guy is already off the lib train and another two are Reddit gamers but I'm doing my best lol
