Aside from local play, which i have not found yet. Last time i played was just after the Masques block, cannot remember the name of edition, had an curved axe for a symbol.

Ordered two standard decks as a nostalgia, kid absolutely loves it, im waiting for a box of eldraine and ixalan (those smaller boxes with 8 boosters or so and one foil card) because i do not plan to hoard the cards.

Ill have to look into commander, seems interesting for super comfy play.

Bonus question, does black white deck where you clean the board with wrath of god then return zombies from the graveyard work?

How do you play with two sided cards? Are they just for sleeves?

Where to get informed? What works now? I see more people are playing chilled, for a difference back then you would get obliterated.

How do you play with two sided cards? Are they just for sleeves?

99.9% of people I've seen playing Magic in the last 15 years or so have sleeved their decks, even if the cards aren't worth very much. So yeah, sleeves with opaque backs are what most people use. When it's time to flip the card to its other side, just take it out first.

However, if you prefer not to sleeve, you can use a checklist card. They look like this:

https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&extras=true&order=name&q=checklist&unique=cards

You check the box to show which card it's representing, then put the checklist card in your deck at the start of the game and leave the double-faced card off to the side. When you play the checklist card from your hand, then you replace it with the double-faced card, and use that until the card goes back to your hand or library.

Just showing off my Magic knowledge, sounds like this set was Nemesis.

Yooooooo it was Nemesis. Played a bit of booster draft tournaments then, tried to make a 3 color deck work only to get obliterated by a stasis deck like nothing (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
