I've no interest in MtG but as a big Bob Ross fan I'm strangely tempted to get this card set. When I worked multiple 3rd shifts at the ER in the early-mid 80s I would come home in the morning after work, pour a beer if it was summer or sambuca and cocoa if it was winter, and tune in to Joy of Painting on Public Broadcasting. Watching Bob's paintings slowly appear on the canvas while listening to his soothing voice was the perfect antidote to the regular unpleasantness of the nights before. I tried watching 'Bill Alexander's 'Magic of Oil Painting' (he was Bob Ross' mentor) but Alexander's 'Almighty Trees' didn't have the same balm-for-the-soul effect as Ross's 'Happy Trees'.
