I’m a still friend with each and every person on E.P.I.C, but there comes a time when the team no longer has a purpose. Teams are there for friendship and good times, let’s not forget that, but they still have a Magical purpose. When joining a team, a player should really evaluate why they’re joining. The main reasons to join a team are:
• Testing partners.

• Card availability.

• Traveling expenses.

• Growing as a player.

• Friendship.

I found this part interesting. I'm sure some people might think you are "using" your friends but that is not the point of being on a team in any sort of game for most intents and purposes. I'm sure people playing sports at say, a high school, would probably enjoy it a lot less if most of the team only cared about hanging out and not improving their game. Same idea with magic.

If you do, don't beat yourself up over it.

I don't see the harm in calling the guys you play magic with once or twice a week teammates even if you don't make significant efforts to improve each other. Maybe I'm missing something because I'm an antisocial friendless shut in.

Nice article.

[Purgatory]

I like your articles that are only tangentally related to playing Magic as a game (like this one, or the one about card prices, for example).

Nice work, as usual, keep them coming!
