I've realized something lately.
I don't think I'm too busy to play Magic.
I think I'm afraid of the uncertainty that comes with walking into a new Commander pod.
Whether it's worrying about power levels, wondering if games will fire, or feeling like everyone already knows each other, it's surprisingly easy to talk yourself out of going to your LGS.
But every time we let those fears make the decision for us, we guarantee we never get to play.
Have you ever felt this way before? Or is your LGS a place that immediately feels like home?
👇 I'd love to hear your experiences in the comments. If you've ever felt nervous about Commander night, you're definitely not the only one. Subscribe for more honest conversations about Magic, Commander, and the psychology behind why we play.
