So... How do I admit a problem that I may or may not have?

General
Welp!
I'm happy to say that keeping to my former rules, this journal isn't about anything depressing, more like just a strange and weird conundrum that I've came across and wonder what the heck you guys make of it, one of the things I've been trying - and failing - to do is to make myself a little more organised and try and work on my Magic cards
Y'know, tidy room, tidy mind?
Aaaaaand that involved taking an inventory, where I tried to take a stock of my decks, putting together a list eventually of my Commander decks, resulting in a final headcount of FORTY ONE decks
FORTY ONE Commander decks.
That seems just a little large, like, each deck is 100 cards and well, many of them are incomplete, a lot of these decks are made up of bits and pieces, replacement parts and just in progress... but, huh.
Online on Magic Online, it's a lot easier to make multiple decks because there are so many staple cards that are available and avoids me having to buy/find/trade/procure multiple copies of cards to place into my various decks =o
Buuuuuut now this means looking for balancing or swaying up the cards in a weird scale system to make them fit, but, underlining it all is the weird feeling that MAYBE I'm overdoing it, just a little?
Still, lol, I can't help but feeling slightly tickled at the number, and, well, that's about all I can think of right now, maybe something else I can post up next week with my birthday on Tuesday, see what to share with you guys then!

That was my ORIGINAL Commander deck, I played a card called Captain Sissay and her whole deal was she was the Captain of this Legendary ship called the Weatherlight, from the original Magic story, and her card lets you tutor up any legendary card, so basically every game I was writing myself lil narratives about Sisay going to different worlds and recruiting various crew members and all the epic battles and confrontations that would happen =B

And yes I love to ship monsters randomly. (Witty Phantom x Harpie Lady! They are adorable! Come at me, bro!! ).
When I felt they were taking up my space, I decided to get rid of them. But I felt it hard because I love my cards and did not want to just toss them in the trash. I wanted folks to have fun with them like I do. While visiting my local comic shop, I found out the owner helped at a special needs summer camp (I was gonna sell them).
In a blink, I went from "Lets sell" to "Let the kids play!" I donated all the spares (except for my favorite decks) to the summer camp (even told him he could sell a few of the rares to make a buck).
Now I just get cards to update those decks only. Easier on the ol wallet and it keeps me from getting crowded again.
Take what you like and make it a reward for behavior you want to encourage. I'm putting $100 in the bank? I get to buy a booster pack! That works pretty well.
