The chapter has to be 500 characters long to be published so... gosh, I don't know. How are you guys doing? I dusted off my Magic the Gathering cards recently and taught the two oldest kids to play. Used one too many combat tricks against my husband and now he says he won't play solo games against me anymore. Oh well. Two-headed giant is a really great format for teaching new players, since each person has an experienced teammate to guide them, and he'll still play that.

It's funny, because he's the one who made the discard deck and the "everything-you-own-is-tapped-forever" deck. But nooo, your opponent flashes out some equipment that untaps a creature to block you, that's the true pain.

I really shouldn't give him shit about this publicly. He's the alpha reader/editor for all my chapters. My writing would be so much worse without him. Also, Galadhrim Bow is kind of OP.
