Dear Squee Vol. 13
Our favorite Audio Engineer Squee McGee answers the Collective’s most burning questions!!
Dear Squee,
You in for some games??

Dear Spenser:
You know what…
YES.
(End of Article)
But Seriously:
It is no secret I am averse to online paper magic(if that statement even makes sense). I miss people, playing in person, and most importantly… a bunch of actual cards in a room duking it out. But the most recent Dear Squee article, which covered waning inspiration triggered me a bit. When I have played online I have thoroughly enjoyed my time… So why not play more often? It is convenient and interactive(insert marketing statement here).
Grumpy Old Man:
I have boiled down all of the above aversion to being a grudgingly old man… You know…
“It’s just not like it used to be.”
“We used to have amazing in person tournaments, and cards were only a nickel!
“Back in my day the game was pure…”
Welp… here is Squee giving himself the proverbial finger. Times have changed!
Everytime I have played an online game I have enjoyed my time and learned something to boot. Of course it is different, but in some very redeeming ways. I get to play games with people I would not have been able to just one year ago, and get to see decks that are outside of my normal playgroup. I can’t emphasize this enough… The meta has expanded in our recent times almost due to necessity, but the games are stronger than ever. Magic is bigger than ever… I am truly blown away that a card game I loved as a kid is still going. End of grumpy old man mode… Squee is back to game.
Re-Building:
The box of gold has allowed me to dive into some cards I never planned on having access to(Oh Boo Hoo Squee!). I have some plans for deck updates, and yes I know you all are waiting on the edge of your seats for Rhys’ 248th card. But as of now, I’ll be coming to a game near you with new and improved decks. Just give me a few weeks to sort things out!
Thank you for asking and we will Jam(not jame) soon.
Love,
Squee
