As some of you may already know, this is going to be my last article for ChannelFireball, and I’ll be stepping back from a lot of Magic content for a while. I always wanted to write about the relationship between mental health and Magic at some point, and seeing as I haven’t done it yet, this seems as good a time as any. As this article took shape, I realized some aspects of it went beyond just mental health, so I expanded it to instead be more broadly about mentality in Magic, albeit largely about mental health. There isn’t just the one connection between mental health and competitive MTG, so this article is going to be a bit of a sprawl, as I ramble slightly about the different connections between the two I’ve experienced and seen others around me experience, as well as thoughts on solutions, where I have them.
