I kinda want to try to get into it with my son but from a first glance it looks like it's just been taken over by hardcore MTG types and there's no place to play online even on webcam. The stuff I have seen looks really fast paced and confusing. Like way too intense for something based on cartoon princesses.
Does anyone play? What has your experience been and what's the best way to try it out for someone with zero tcg experience?
Mtg has taken over all the brain space I have reserved for tcgs so I have not really synthesized any lorcana info. It just looks like an alternative mtg owned by Disney. Like what eel said, just get some bloomburrow. No one has room in their lives for two tcgs so just do the one that will still be around in 10 years. Your kid will thank you later (or curse you for giving them a lifelong disease lol).
The MtG audience is massive and has a huge variety of types of people who play. The commander format scene has a lot more casual players who are just playing to have a good time. Although commander decks are a little more involved when building than the other formats, which is unfortunate.
