I was thinking about getting into Magic and had just got my head around everything...and now it is changing for faster rotation? That was one of my biggest concerns about starting as I already have several expensive hobbies. Being a newbie the Core set looked like a good way to kick off a collection so I wonder how that will be dealt with now (my friends introduced me to the game through buying the 2014 Core Set - which I much prefer the cards of to the 2015 lot, perhaps because I don't have the nostalgia for the Kithkin and so forth).
I think I missed out on the "golden years", because after looking through the Card Galleries, my preferred block is definitely Return to Ravnica. As I said above, the new Core set is a complete mix for me in terms of style and the rumours about the Khans styling isn't interesting me that much. By the time I wait for the Khans stuff to come out to see if I like the designs and want to start with this rotation, it seems like the cards will be most of the way out of the Standard game...Modern does seem like a lot easier format to start with, ironically (as the descriptions of it seem to indicate it is aimed at long-term collectors).
Well, I thought I had Magic down. Now I'm confused again *sigh*.
