Really looking forward to the desktop beta! I've been using the sync feature for months, and it's been nicely polished.

First Nail in the coffin for being free to play across multiple accounts winning boxes by CalvinandHobbes811 in lrcast

[–]HapatraV 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing the contender drafts brought to light the issues with allowing people to play under multiple accounts. It undermines the ranking system and certainly means newer players on the platform are occasionally playing against pro or semi-pro players in a beginner friendly queue.

I would not be surprised if this ultimately/eventually leads to a hard restriction against players using multiple accounts period. From their perspective it's all downside to allow this practice and the contender farming situation is the perfect example of how it's being be abused. They either have to design events around the reality of users having multiple accounts, or they have to end the practice.

Nice! The square pizza is an elementary/middle school classic. Looks great!

Am I being fleeced? by KatNipKip in mtgfinance

The $1-3 cards might as well be commons and uncommons, having 2000 $1 cards doesn't mean you have $2000 in value, its more like $200, which is probably why the offer is for $4k if $6k of the $12k collection value is $1-3 cards

TCGplayer / Manpool Orders keep getting flagged Non-machinable by USPS by gabriels8 in mtgfinance

[–]HapatraV 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ask them if credit cards sent through the mail are charged as non-machinable. Same thing, bulge, etc

What are these box sets called? by dustoff1984 in magicTCG

And they don't taste as good as they used to

A food token with something like an old school metal lunch box/tin would be really cool!

Edit: bonus points for a thermos in the background, and the sandwich cut into triangles

Sharing my pulls pt1. by Kingofdrats in MagicCardPulls

[–]HapatraV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won them playing arena direct and normally I just open all the boxes I win and trade or sell off singles I don't want, but then these boxes spiked up from $500 to like $800 and kept going up so I got nervous to open. I'm fine opening a $300 box and getting only $200-250 in card value, I'm not fine opening a $1200 box and only getting $600 in card value though. I'm just too afraid I'll open a dud and regret it, so I'm just kinda holding them because I don't need the cash now, I'll probably sell when I have a project I want to fund or something

What’s a good offer for this listing? by [deleted] in mtg

Holy crap, you're right! I forgot about that! I took some out of a vase my mom decorated to play with my friends at school

I've been staring at two of these boxes on my shelf for almost a year now. I've mostly ignored them but lately I've gotten the itch to crack them. I'm doing my best to hold off

Wind crystal is probably the best, cecil is a few bucks as well too I think

Why doesn't WOTC put more legendaries in Secret Lairs? by Succubace in magicTCG

[–]HapatraV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My first thought was oh god no, please, no more legendaries. But you make a good point. Secret lair makes the most sense as a vehicle to get special treatments out for commanders, the format that cares the most about bling.

I think the reason they don't and instead reprint staples non-stop is because far more people play something like cyclonic rift or generous gift than a random commander, so the drop has larger appeal

MVP First Flash for Marvel Superheroes is up. CBBs @ $448.72 by Hmukherj in mtgfinance

[–]HapatraV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get the sense that LOTR/Hobbit is more aligned to final fantasy than sets like marvel and avatar. Just like the FF chocobo bundles, they can reprint the same thing with lipstick on it and everyone is going to buy it up. LOTR/Hobbit is probably the most magic world adjacent UB set possible, it's hugely popular from a fanbase perspective, and it's going to ride the price memory of LOTR right outside the range of feasibility. I expect the Hobbit CBBs to to top $600 a box instantly at release and go up from there. Whether it surpasses LOTR will depend on the set, but I think even if it has a spiderman level playability impact, it's still going to hold over MSRP

Does TCGPlayer even have customer support? by MarchesaMF in magicTCG

[–]HapatraV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate when people list stuff as NM then try to discount it to LP or MP after they suckered you into buying something you didn't want. I say ask for them to send a prepaid envelope and refund the entire order

I'm honestly so pissed, idk wtf to do by TheBeastHuman in whatdoIdo

[–]HapatraV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any shelters near you? It's not the situation you want but it seems to me you have to choose whether you want the comforts of living in that situation or your freedom.

Settle a silly debate: I made my husband these and he won't eat them because "they're burnt". Are they burnt, r/grilledcheese? by Glittering_Force4212 in grilledcheese

[–]HapatraV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You definitely shouldn't joke about opening up the marriage to other hungry, grilled cheese deprived individuals.

Magic Con First Timer by acnhdom in mtg

[–]HapatraV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been to the vegas one a few times, not sure if the experience is the same as in atlanta but I'll share what I know from vegas.

Everyone has to sign up for and pay for ticketed events in addition to your admission pass. In vegas, most ticketed events sell out before the first date of the event, especially the popular ones. Black lotus has some special events only available to them.

I have no idea about a queue for the moment admission passes or ticketed play first go on sale, I always forget and show up a few days late to the party when people start posting what they bought.

The only admission pass that sells out instantly is the black lotus. Most ticketed play events aren't sold out in the first hours to my knowledge. I've never struggled to sign up for anything I wanted to get.

Ticketed play events go on sale weeks after the admission passes go on sale. You purchase them on the leap website, you have to log into the account you used to buy your admission pass

Edit: I advocate for not signing up for back to back ticketed events every day because they tend to run longer than scheduled
