My friend and I were really into the game during its original run back in the early 00's. He remained invested in the game while it was out of print. I got more into Magic during that time.
He is thoroughly enjoying the reboot and desperately wants me to get into it. I, on the other hand, do not have the money to spend on CCG cards for the foreseeable future, but I still have my old decks from the original run and look forward to playing him with the reboot rules when I get the chance.
