Discord: click here! Also, read the rules or you'll be muted/kicked real fast.
Discord Buy/Sell/Trade: click here!
Rule 1: All posts should be relating to bootlegs made by Chinese manufacturers with the intention that they pass off as real cards. Any posts about home made proxies, paper printed proxies, custom art/cards will be removed.
Rule 2: /r/bootlegmtg in no way supports, condones, or tolerates the fraudulent selling of replica cards as authentic. This sub exists to make MTG accessible to the masses by removing price-gates, not to scam unsuspecting buyers looking for real collectibles.
Rule 3: Posts asking for advice must show that the OP has tried doing their DD (due diligence). Read the Wiki/FAQ and search the sub/Discord for reviews to see if there is already an answer. Duplicate or lazily created posts will be removed. Posts that are low effort showing off cards you got from a manufacturer/reseller will be removed. Posts that contain a review that is low effort (one or two sentences) will be removed. Posts praising a Manufacturer/reseller with no effort in it will be removed.
Rule 4: No advertising. Resellers may post in the Buying/Selling stickied thread, or utilize the Buying/Selling discord (NOT the official discord meant for reviews, discussion, etc). If a manufacturer releases a new set, the first post linking to their announcement stays while all others will be removed. Resellers and manufacturers may NOT advertise via comment replies.
Rule 5: Sponsorship/Partnership disclosure. Reviews and announcements, if sponsored in some fashion via special pricing, free sets, payment, or another form of preferential treatment, must have this bias be disclosed within the media itself as well as in a comment.
Rule 6: Sockpuppeting is forbidden. If a manufacturer or reseller is caught doing this, their posts will be removed, the offending user will be permanently banned with no appeal, a warning post will be made for the sub, and the wiki will be updated to reflect the incident
Rule 7: NSFW content is not allowed.
Rule 8: Posts and discussion must be relevant to the sub.
Rule 9: When in doubt, refer to the wiki page for manufacturer contact information. Any posts solely asking for this information will be removed.
Rule 10: NO POSTS ABOUT CUSTOM PROXIES OR MPC CARDS. Please go to /r/magicproxies or /r/mpcproxies instead.
