When I played, back when I was a late teen, I didn’t generally care about winning so much as pulling off cool combos or winning in a stupid way. I just found cards that worked together.
Depends what your goal is. Like most games, if it’s to win you have to get sweaty.
I liked how mtg let you get real creative to pull off a semi viable deck with insane mechanics, even if it was strictly worse than “the correct” way to play
The “protect the children” group, pro doing nothing to stop school shootings, wants kids to watch people be murdered by the state, doesn’t want to let schools feed kids or uplift impoverished families, leading to starving/malnourished children…
But God forbid someone who “looks funny” (to them) wants to read them a kids book.
