My day starts like this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check What&#8217;s App for messages (including Magic related ones)<\/li>\n<li>Facebook (nowadays mainly for Magic sales posts)<\/li>\n<li>Instagram (especially now that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/oldschoolmtg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">oldschoolmtg<\/a> is doing his #marchmtgmadnesstournament)<\/li>\n<li>EBay (You never know if somebody sells something dirty cheap)<\/li>\n<li>Marktplaats (A Dutch Ebay, same reason as above)<\/li>\n<li>Old School Discord (I didn&#8217;t have enough to read while commuting so installed Discord, big mistake)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Then during the day, I repeat this cycle whenever I can. When it&#8217;s been too long since I&#8217;ve last done it: FOMO. I&#8217;m like a drug addict looking for his next shot. When I have a little bit more time I read\/watch anything I can get my hands on. I search Reddit for new stuff, go on YouTube to watch either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCTp-iVOtTrKau0skmfZlo5Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rudy<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/c\/timmythesorcerer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Timmy<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCc3eyWQlemti0n0A1zRFUjg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OpenBoosters<\/a> and when I&#8217;m commuting I prefer to sit alone and listen to the <a href=\"http:\/\/alltingsconsidered.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">All Things Considered<\/a> Podcast.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m buying\/selling\/shipping cards multiple times a week, try to meet up with my friends once a week to play Magic (which probably averages out at once every 2 weeks, not enough!) and attend an Old School tournament roughly every 2 months. I run to the door when I hear the postmen, #mailday is the best day of the week!\u00a0 Often before I go to bed I&#8217;m brewing\/tweaking decks in my head (I can recommend trying to brew a T1 Old School Enchantress deck if you want to stay up all night!). About once a month I unsleeve all my decks (I always have 3\/4 decks ready to play) and resleeve my new brews. Since that wasn&#8217;t enough, I&#8217;m now organising my first Old School Tournament, I&#8217;ve started this website and I&#8217;m still considering how I can create more content for this great community.<\/p>\n<p>My Magic Anonymous coach told me that admitting that you have an addiction is the first step towards salvation. I hereby admit that I have an Old School Magic addiction. I&#8217;m now going to tweak my deck for the Hill Giant Cup in Hilversum and will check if I&#8217;ve missed anything on the internet while writing this post. It&#8217;s been at least an hour since my last shot!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1110 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Magic-Anonymous-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Magic-Anonymous-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Magic-Anonymous-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Magic-Anonymous-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Magic-Anonymous-870x870.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Magic-Anonymous-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Magic-Anonymous-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Magic-Anonymous.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know I&#8217;m not the only one but this game is really an addiction.
