What's up fellow gamers, just wondering if there are any other mtg players here that are interested in doing webcam games over spelltable/discord? I've been playing a lot on various servers but it would be very fun to have a consistent playgroup of chill people if anyone else is interested.

    I learned to play on MTG Arena, which does all the work for you, but then I got a girl's number when she brought up playing MTG on Cockatrice, and I have no idea where to start because MTG Arena does so much of the mechanical work of playing the game and Cockatrice does none and she's going to realize I'm a poser :bawllin-sad:

    It's like the difference between playing basketball in real life and playing it over a video game - you learn the rules, you might win all the time, but you aren't learning how to actually play it because the computer does all the work. Not sure what to do.

      call her and be honest. "I'm ashamed to say I got your number under false pretenses. I play magic on Cockatrice. I am a poser. I have no clue how to really play but if you'd like to show me I'm sure Id pick it up fast."

      That's a perfect setup you have there. Vulnerability and honesty are sexy. You get an easy plan for a date. She gets to spend the whole time being nerdy and confident because she is good at something.
