Why do we play?

 And the answer, whilst multiple has a very common element when it comes to these OS formats: nostalgia.

But what is nostalgia?

Our friend the Merriam-Webster dictionary says the following:

1: a wistful or excessively sentimental yearning for return to or of some past period or irrecoverable condition

We keep devising new so called formats where the cards we discovered the game with are important one more time. Those times will never be back, we are not the same and never will again.

But fun? Yeah, we can have that. Nostalgia is important but never forget the key factor in all of this: fun with like minded people.

The philoshopy of Overprinted MTG and the choice of sets present in it veers around playing with the same cards we used to play (give or take a dual here or there of course). Most of us never played with the P9 much less in 1994 or 95. Assemble a pile of cards from the most overprinted sets in the era and get it on with the fun!
