My favorite joke about MtG:

"The magic is the gathering"

a draft is such a good env to just hang out, and we'd usually end up with a ringer or two, so it was a good way to socialize.

I've waned a bit because I didn't like the state of the meta, but have been itching to get back in for the social aspects alone.

Traded MtG for CS:GO mostly these days, but wanting to get more face to face time, even though I've been surprised about how much a consistent CS:GO group has felt like community.

It's a multiplayer game, so it provides social interaction.
