So I'm getting back into it, or that should be I'm going to, and have some questions.

When I last played to any extent there was the stack, that seems gone. So where are the rules these days?

I note also my dci number is now meaningless, is there no ranking anymore?

I live in the middle of nowhere (Scotland) so wonder if there is anywhere I can check up local clubs?

Also any suggestions on where to find deck ideas and where should I start, core and which expansion's?

The stack (and priority) is still there? Not sure where you got that. https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Stack

Everything about changes to DCI is here: https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/DCI

Not sure if there is a map of (registered/official) clubs somewhere but https://www.google.com/search?q=mtg+scotland gives a lot of hits.

About deck ideas there is:

Important thing will be to decide what format(s) you will jump into, I play commander with a friend but the local club (and basically whole city) only plays modern (https://magic.wizards.com/en/formats/modern, more about current formats here https://magic.wizards.com/en/formats).
Personally I wouldn't recommend jumping into standard as it will require the most money to get a functioning deck and to keep that deck actual - https://mtgazone.com/standard-rotation/

Cheers everyone, Popped into a shop in Aberdeen, about 60 mins from me. Off to a draft Friday night.. now just need to read up on the format so I don't look a noob doing a rare draft :)

Crazy how much the cards are now and I complained about paying £2.20 a booster back in the day!

Another follow up, played the draft and our of 16 managed sixth.. not too bad for an old fat like.

Off to a lotr commander draft Sunday, so just reading up on how that format works :)
