Making Time for Magic

With both Doni and I working full time jobs to live we also want to do all of the Magic things too! Finding time and balance has been tricky. 😕

We get a few hours in the evenings and have to choose between playing Commander or doing other Magic related things we want to do.

  • do we sort - we have our collection and our trade stock which always requires upkeep
  • do we manage inventory - cards to be added to inventory from purchases and/or trades
  • do we build or update decks
  • do we socialize on Twitter/Instagram
  • do we watch streams on Twitch
  • do we create content
    • blogs
    • Twitch
    • Youtube
    • Tiktok
Sometimes we watch a movie or just catch up on our days.

I am thankful to have Doni to share my hobby and passion with. I am thankful this is something we do together and we both enjoy it!

Streaming on Twitch

Streaming on Twitch has opened so many doors and windows for us. We took a break from Magic and then we came back to it. When we came back to it I started with Instagram when I started seeing posts for Magic. I was like wait, what is happening here.  I tried Twitter, and honestly at first it seemed toxic and I did not want anything to do with it. In time I learned it is only as toxic as you make it or allow it to be. When Doni and I got more active on Twitter we found Twitch. There was some Twitch before that, but I had no idea how many streamers there were who played paper commander on stream. We guested as much as we could and continued to play off stream as well.  Once we started our own stream with the help of so many friends who got as started it opened so many possibilities for us and we have met some amazing people. One day I reached out to Sheldon of the Rule Committee and said: He wrote back almost right away and asked me to guest on the RC Stream! I was blown away. Every time

Defeated feeling after games

 Thoughts after some games we played today - these are the thoughts of Jen. Today we played a couple of games and the first game seemed to be moving along, but my deck was not quite at the same level. It felt bad. Then I started thinking about it and I do not need to feel bad, I do need to recognize sometimes decks are not matched up and that is going to happen. I do not typically interact with the game in a way that prevents my opponents from doing what they want to do unless it has an impact on what I am trying to do. I do not enjoy playing against decks that interact with the game often as I feel this puts a damper on things. I am not saying there is anything wrong with playing a specific way, I am writing this to help recognize how I feel.
