For many years I didnt play at all, my cards were just in a box. Few years back I got them out, got everything registered using Delver Lens and started collecting a bit again. Recently two people in my boardgame group hit their heads and can't do really long thinky boardgames at the moment, so we've settled on mtg as a social and still challenging compromise.
We play some of my budget legacy decks, we play a bit of jumpstart, and we're just starting to get into commander.
Whats the story there lol
One had two minor strokes, didn't do terrible damage but it does mean he gets tired more easily. The other has a concussion after a mountain bike fall, wasn't a bad fall either, but it had much the same effect as the stroke had.
Were late 30s so it feels a little early for these things, but luckily I really like playing mtg so I don't mind that part...
Wow, didn't know a concussion could actually cause such long term issues.
Hope they recover and sorry if my initial comment was tactless.
No worries. It's actually quite common for concussions to have long term effects, doesn't have to be a hard knock either. Colleague of my wife had a shelf drop on his head, empty and while he was putting it up. Took him about six months to get back to almost full time employment, and he still has to take naps and manage his head during the day. My friend is also only working 30 hours for now.
