Mrs Magic Piano is a story about a magical piano that has the ability to transport people to different places and times. The story follows a young girl named Lily who discovers the piano in her grandparents' attic. Curious about its origin and intrigued by its mystical powers, Lily begins to experiment with the piano. As Lily plays the keys, she is transported to different places and times. She visits ancient China, where she witnesses the construction of the Great Wall. She travels to the 18th century and attends a majestic ball at an opulent palace.
A lot of time has passed since then, and I still buy leftover prereleases because I still genuinely enjoy the whole concept of them. Heck, this weekend me and my partner bought 2 of the Core 21 pre-releases from our new LGS (we have now moved towns) and we had a blast with them – I even managed to pull these bad boys!
Our friend Timmy came to our LGS with a bunch of mates, and as soon as I sat on their table for our first round I felt the high and mighty gazes of the other 3 men on my table. You can sometimes splash a third, playing two colors as your base and a couple powerful cards or additional costs of another color, but I d really focus on the two colors you want here.
She travels to the 18th century and attends a majestic ball at an opulent palace. She even goes to the future and sees advanced technology and flying cars. Through her adventures, Lily learns about different cultures, historical events, and the importance of music.
Why I don’t go to prereleases – MTG
Prereleases are an exciting time for Magic players – you can get your hands on the latest cards (or in Core 21’s case, the latest reprints) and get to dabble in creating a small, yet immensely fun deck.
I love the whole concept of prereleases, how it encourages players all to meet up to see what the new set is going to get and is a brilliant way for all levels of Magic players to come together. Whilst I appreciate that they are a fun and positive event for most, my one bad experience has ultimately made me apprehensive of going to my local game store for future pre-releases.
Flashback to 25th January 2019, 5 days before my birthday. Ravnica Allegiance is just about to come out and myself and my partner decide that after getting back into MTG a few months prior that we would go down to our local LGS and join the prerelease.
I will admit I was a little confused at first, I was new to the game and wasn’t 100% sure about card synergies, mana curves – I was just a very new player looking to learn how to play MTG properly. The first deck that I made was a Simic deck with the idea of getting lots of tokens on my creatures and being honest I thought the art on the Simic cards looked pretty cool!
In comes long time player, and resident asshole – let’s call him Timmy. Our friend Timmy came to our LGS with a bunch of mates, and as soon as I sat on their table for our first round I felt the high and mighty gazes of the other 3 men on my table. Now I’m not sure if I was overreacting a bit here, because as a very shy and small girl people can easily intimidate me. But Timmy was a different kettle of fish.
I introduced myself as any polite normal human does, explained that I was new to the game so I would appreciate any pointers he could give as I knew I was bound to lose but I just wanted to know how to improve. 3 games go by, Timmy obliterates everything that I put out on my board. I don’t understand the combos he pulls off, even when I asked him if he could explain it to me he responded with “If you’re here you should know what the cards do.”. Alright, asshole.
The 3 games I played against Timmy frustrated me to no end, with him making sarcastic remarks whenever one of my creatures died or a sorcery card didn’t work as I intended. It was clear after numerous attempts of me asking politely if he wouldn’t mind explaining some mechanics – and trust me, we had plenty of time with how quickly he beat me – that this guy was not welcoming to newbies at all. It’s understandable that not everyone wants to educate others about the game but there was no need for the condescending attitude.
Timmy fostered a fowl mood within me, my nerves set on fire when people have such an attitude where they look down on someone for being new. He then began to ignore me after our 3 matches had concluded and focused on his mates game next to us. I was astonished. Not even a smidge of friendly banter, no acknowledgement of existence, just bragging that he was going to be the one to win the tournament – which I think won like 10 booster packs or something daft.
I played another game with another guy who was relatively new to the game too and we had a great match! Lots of communication, lots of discussion around the mechanics of the cards we were both playing, and he provided me with a lot of recommendations with how I should play. This was the kind of attitude that I had expected from a pre-release of players showing support and helping their peers. Timmy was obviously an anomaly.
Overall, the Allegiance pre-release left a very sour taste in my mouth. I struggled to comprehend why Timmy was such an arse when there was simply no need for it. From then, my partner asked me if I wanted to go to other pre-releases but I honestly wanted to avoid them because I didn’t want to feel on like that again, I didn’t want someone to judge me for my lack of experience and ultimately make me feel invisible. It made me feel really shitty about myself, and I was put off playing physical paper MTG for quite some time.
A lot of time has passed since then, and I still buy leftover prereleases because I still genuinely enjoy the whole concept of them. Heck, this weekend me and my partner bought 2 of the Core 21 pre-releases from our new LGS (we have now moved towns) and we had a blast with them – I even managed to pull these bad boys!
Since I’ve got more experience now I feel that I want to give prereleases another shot, because not everyone is the same as Timmy was and I really want to meet new people to play with. So maybe with the next set that comes out, I might challenge myself to go to my LGS and just genuinely enjoy myself and overcome this negativity which nibbles at my brain!

Reviews for "Unleash Your Creativity with Mrs. Magic Piano"
1. John - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Mrs. Magic Piano". The story felt overly predictable and formulaic, with no real surprises or depth. The characters were also quite one-dimensional and lacked any real development throughout the movie. The performances were average at best and didn't do much to salvage the weak script. Overall, I found it to be a forgettable and uninspiring film.
2. Sarah - 1/5 - "Mrs. Magic Piano" is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The plot is completely unrealistic and ridiculous, making it difficult to even suspend disbelief. The acting was terrible, with the actors seeming uninterested and delivering their lines with no emotion. The dialogue was laughably bad, filled with cheesy one-liners and cliches. It was a waste of time and money to watch this film.
3. David - 2/5 - I had high hopes for "Mrs. Magic Piano" but it fell short of my expectations. The pacing was incredibly slow and the story dragged on without much happening. The musical elements were underutilized and the songs were forgettable. The film also lacked any real emotional impact, with the characters and their struggles failing to engage me. Overall, it was a lackluster film that failed to deliver on its potential.
4. Emily - 3/5 - While "Mrs. Magic Piano" had its moments, I found it to be quite average overall. The story was predictable and didn't offer anything new or exciting. The performances were decent, but nothing exceptional. The film did have some visually appealing scenes and the music was pleasant, but it wasn't enough to make up for the lackluster plot. I wouldn't actively recommend it, but if you're looking for a mindless watch, it might suffice.
