Dominaria Was Lost, But I was Saved - A Magic: The Gathering Memory

Sometimes, when people feel hopeless or depressed, they isolate themselves from those they love or others who may be able to help. Isolation can make depression feel worse and increase the risk that a person will experience suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Helplines are available to those who feel like they need someone to talk to but may not know where to start.

An incredibly brave and poignant video Prof. Your contributions to the Magic community go far beyond deck techs, tuition and humour. Thank you for this. We all need to hear it sometimes.

Excellent video, Prof. Although I didn't have the specific experiences you had, I can absolutely relate to a lot of what you're saying here. I certainly felt like an outsider for much of my elementary, middle and high school life. I went to a very small catholic school K-8, and when I went to High School I didn’t know anybody and hard a hard time making friends. Eventually I did connect with a group of other nerdy folks through video games and MTG. Without MTG as a tool for connecting with others, I don’t know what I would have done. Things got a bit better socially as I got older, but to this day, even though I have good people and friends in my life, it's still hard to shake that feeling of being an outsider. Who knows if anyone else even thinks about me that way — but it’s an emotional experience I live with. I took several multi-year breaks from Magic, and a little over a year ago, I was on the verge of selling off my entire collection for good. I hadn’t touched the cards in 5 years and, weirdly, was starting to feel like I was “hiding” them and somehow denying that part of my life. But as I started to research prices and ways to sell the cards, I came across your YouTube channel. I watched a lot of the videos, and the Magic Memories really resonated with me in a big way. In fact, there was a video specifically about quitting and coming back that really hit me. Watching that helped me realize that I didn't really want to get rid of my cards -- instead I wanted to actually use them and rekindle my enjoyment of this game that I once loved, but had set aside for so long. As you articulate so well, these cards aren’t just cards. They represent memories, experiences, and even pieces of our personalities. So rather than sell my cards, I actually ended up getting back into the game. Magic has been responsible for so many of my happy memories — and specifically moments with friends — that I realized I needed to make it a bigger part of my life, not a smaller one. So I’ve been playing, collecting, and building decks again regularly for the past year or so. I haven’t been able to attend as many paper events as I would like, but I try go to play once or twice a month. I’m starting to recognize people in the community and make some new friends. Earlier this month, I took another big step and actually did something that I had always wanted to do — I went to a GP. It was GP Seattle, and even though I only played in side events, I had a great time. My wife even came along and enjoyed being there as well, so now we’re thinking of traveling to some more GPs later this year. I actually came up to you and said hello — I was wearing the Tolarian Community College T-shirt and thanked you for your contributions to the community. But I wanted to take a moment now to thank you for the contribution you’ve made to me personally — that is, helping me rediscover my love for this special game, and in the process, helping me to feel like I’m part of a community where maybe I do belong after all.

thank you for doing this video. I added a long comment to it. Which I wanted here more than on the video. So here it's: thank you for posting this. I'm crying, I went through a similar experience. Growing up gay was no walk in the park. Most days I was lucky if I didn't get into a fight. Most boys enjoyed beating up the gay effeminate boy, such was the life growing up around the military. I was often in trouble for fighting. I was often told stop acting so girly, you brought this on yourself and to toughen up. I dropped out of school, just doing the bare minimum. School was hell, a land of abuse. My father and mother had no idea what to do with me. My mom worried I would become a drop out and a failure in life. My dad thought I would fail high school never mind college. My parents had been told from third grade on I was stupid, incapable of learning and investing resources in me a waste of time/money. My escape from my hell was comic books, computer programing, video games and RPG modules. I loved those worlds and often escaped into them. In high school my dad transferred to Holland. By that point I had toughed up and started acting "masculine". I came across as a weird socially awkward male. My first year in college wasn't much better. I was picked on non stop by the gamers. At one point one gamer thought it would be fun to cover me in the remains from dogs. Thankfully I was able to push on. I excelled in computer science. I learned to love learning again as I found acceptance in Magic. I graduated, went to work for the military like my father. Then I meet my ex-wife, she changed me for the better. I never looked back. For a kid that was voted the most likely not to succeed I have done better then the vast majority of my class mates. Looking back life does get better. Thank you for sharing this. Thank you for the signed card. It sits with the classy envelope on my pac-man machine, my hall of fame of magic creators.

Prof, I can't thank you enough for this video. As many others, I've been crying while listening to it. You're such an important person in our community, thank you for all that you've done for us.
