I just got home after a long day of work, just in time for preview season. Super excited for this season in particular. Final Fantasy is going to be the biggest set of the year! Featuring all of your favorites and even more surprises!
Cool, let’s do this. Pre-release coming up, my homies are coming out. The set looks cool. Hope I can pull my favorite cards and jam! We’re going to comb through our packs and see what we get. A good pool, let’s put it together and see how we do.
A solid 3-1, got me a Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER, but that’s about it. No worries, we’ll go after it next time! In the meantime, I have a local Modern 1k coming up, better get ready for that!
But wait! Edge of Eternities is coming up! Better prepare for spoiler season coming up in…a couple of weeks!? Okay! Let’s look at the cards! Exalted Sunborn looks cool. Beyond the Quiet might be worth it in Standard, but Vivi is way too powerful for it to be a main- Oh! Prerelease time! Best get ready for that! One of my friends can’t make it this time, and another isn’t particularly interested in the set, but we still got a car and we’re raring to go! This pool isn’t too strong, but we’ll make do!
Barely squeaked out a 2-2. Sami, Wildcat Captain was our best card, and we barely had enough artifacts to make it worth it. A hard fought time but I enjoyed myself. Not as much as Final Fantasy though. It’s okay! Magic is great, and it’s always a good time hanging out with friends. Now, I gotta call my friend and ask them if they still wanted to go to that Modern 1k this we-
Hold the phone! Marvel’s Spider Man is set to release in September, and it’s going to be the biggest set of the year! Get your friends and come on down and play play play!
Oh…Yeah sure, why not?Let’s call my friends and see if they’ll go. Looks like we’ll have about half of them going compared to last time. All good! We always have a good time regardless! About half the people showed up this time for the pre-release, but it’s still fun! One of my friends isn’t really having a good time though. I hope they stick around…We got a solid 3-1 again, but it didn’t feel as good. Not as many flights fired, but it’s okay. I-
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER IS THE BIGGEST SET OF THE YEAR! COME ON DOWN!
Oh…okay…Hey, anyone want to come down? Only one this time. The others quit, unfortunately. It’s okay. We’ll make the best of it! The card store is going through a rough time, and can’t keep up with things, but they’ve been so loyal to all of us. W̶e̶’̶l̶l̶ ̶ I’ll support them as best as I can. Time to get our packs and see what we…
Wait, I never did play in that Modern 1k, did I? Damn, a shame. I was really looking forward to-
YOU GUESSED IT CHAOS VAULT IS THE BIGGEST SET OF THE YEAR!
I never even finished my Avatar pre-release…How can I keep up with all of this? It’s so much! I don’t even remember my record for that one or what cards I even pulled.
DON’T WORRY, THE NEXT SECRET LAIR IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!
I don’t even know what’s in the whole Avatar set? Can we slow down just a little bit? I just want to enjoy the sets for a bit. I haven’t seen my Magic friends in so long…
THAT’S OKAY, GET READY FOR-
Please…I’m tired…

A solid 3-1, pulled a Sephiroth, but that’s about it. No worries! We’ll get Aang next time! In the meantime, I have a local Spider Man coming up, better get ready for Edge of Eternities!
But…why am I so tired?
