Well, I certainly wish i knew of any players in my area, because playing against myself ruins the whole "not knowing the other player's cards" part.
I do not know what you are laughing about, but I have a guess: Yes, it also kind of ruins the social aspect, just like other kinds of "playing with yourself" do.
Back to topic though, it appears as if destiny tries to deprive me of a blue deck. With my 3-booster entry into Scars, I at least got enough cards to construct a blue/black deck of minimum limited size (40 cards), but when it comes to constructed, I would have to pull in pretty much my entire collection (which includes lots of cards from the 8Ed-Era) to get a decent primarily blue deck.
