So. How is the game doing?

Hey gang. Sorry for the loaded question in the title.

I had to step away from the game around the release of JTL, I am semi-comp player who likes to travel for tournaments, with no expectations to win, but just to have a good time. It seems like there are a ton of tournaments, but my local scene is rather small these days and looking a booster box prices (as low as 55€) I am hesistant to dive back in.

Give me your unfiltered opinion. Thanks!
