I try to get my wife to play Magic: The Gathering and she absolutely refuses in a way that bewilders me because if I told her I had no interest in doing something that she asked me to do with her in a way that was just as adamant, it would be a big issue. At the same time though, I completely get it.

I could never get into the actual card game because as fun as it looks it just seems like a contrived money pit to get you to buy as many cards as possible. But I have a tabletop game adaptation of it called "Magic the Gathering: Arena of the Planeswalkers" which I sincerely think only flopped because MTG fans were too stupid to learn how to play it because I've watched videos of tabletop game Youtubers trying to play it and they all clearly did not understand the rules. So people only buy it now because it's a very cheap way to get tons of figures to repaint but actually it's a great game. The funny thing is that it's not even an original game it's literally just this really beloved cult wargame called Heroscape that if you look up online goes for several hundreds of dollars pre-owned, but just with Magic IP slapped on to it and some slight tweaks to fit the lore. Not sure if its failure was solely due to very poor marketing or if it also had to do with Magic fans being actual hard-rockers.

The hard part would be convincing my friends to put down the decks they’ve spent thousands of dollars on to pick up a game like this

There is still a deck-building aspect to it it's just not compatible with the decks in the card game. They're modified to fit the mechanics of a turn-based game but you build a spell deck and get a certain amount of points to build an army of little figures that the planeswalker you choose can then summon into the game. And it's like a modular board that you can add obstacles or higher levels of terrain to. It's supposed to be a more physical visualization of how casting spells in Magic works so I like the idea of that but I think they catastrophically failed at capturing the intended audience of normies who could be introduced to the world of Magic because it's definitely a rules-heavy game, and anyone who is capable of sitting through reading the rules of a game for an hour without getting bored was probably already familiar with Magic.

The last time I played tabletop games with another couple they tried to recruit us into their swinger circuit so safe to say I prefer to play as a free agent now.

We play with her brothers group of friends on occasion and they're a very nerdy group of swingers/poly people so it must be a common theme.

If I needed yet another hobby to kill time on I can definitely get behind learning to play Magic properly and just starting out with one of those prebuilt balanced decks for playing at parties, I find it to be fairly cool because it's kind of just doing arithmetic in your head the same way you'd do playing blackjack or poker. What I fucking despise and will forever be a hater about is Dungeons and Dragons, and my eyes immediately glaze over any time someone is into that shit. It is the most navelgazing, obnoxiously self-indulgent theater kid Wattpad fanfiction shit to me and the worst part is that it's not even a dork ass guy thing anymore because it's become extremely common for nerdy queers to play it now too and god there is nothing that is a bigger turnoff to me than seeing a grown woman talk about wanting to be a princess Nordic fae elf that talks to animals. It's always the exact same kind of character sheet too. It's July now so I don't feel obligated to be nice to queer people anymore.

I’ve played for years on it and haven’t spent a dime. It teaches you the rules and lays it all out really well

If you're going to put in the work to learn game theory and applied statistics to card games, just play poker. It'll at least allow you the opportunity to recoup fees spent on the learning curve and it's where mtg tournament players end up anyway
