Don't tell the people who read my Magic blog, but I'm a little worried about it. It's a long story, but the main reason I enjoy playing games is to try to be really good at them, and I think I've realized for me to get better at Magic I'm going to have to spend a lot of money on the game, and I don't want to. Even if I do there are other problems like high variance and lack of creativity at the competitive level.
Compare to something like, say, Starcraft. $60 and you're done. Another dollar won't help. It's pure. Also there is the ladder to climb. At any give point you have basically a numerical value of your skill in the form of your league and rank. Magic is much more nebulous.
I have a desire to compete, and because of my Magic site I really tried to make it Magic, but it just doesn't seem to be working out. So I'm going to play some Starcraft. What about my site!? If it dies, it dies. But I think that's jumping to conclusions.
If I give up on my Magic blog, I'll be disappointed, but I certainly won't do it if I don't enjoy it, and I can't really control that. Even if the site dies and disappears from the internet it won't be all for naught because through it this site was born.
I'm thinking this site will be much harder to kill because I can write about anything, much to my readers' dismay I'm sure.
