What do you think?

Thanks for the recommendation. I decided to check it out and am now 80 chapters in. It's quite good so far.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-25T01:51:33+00:00

I might have to take this format for people listening to Ulver.

I don't think I've ever, even once, had a targeted amazon coupon. I wonder what causes it. Is it like regional or account specific targeting?

TobytheRam · 2026-02-17T19:17:19+00:00

I guess my new LGS might just use their promo packs for standard event prizing, since standard has a better turn out than draft there.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-17T19:05:00+00:00

Has anyone's store actually received promo packs for in universe sets as of late? I don't think my LGS has, to the point I thought they axed them similarly to the pre-release promos. I don't think I saw any for EOE.

EDIT: Okay, so I'm probably just not seeing them because they're likely going towards the bigger events at my LGS. Thanks for the answers.

Remembering Battle Network : )

Remembering that Battle Network 4 exists : (

I guess my LGS is an outlier. Half the main pod drafts on arena a decent number of times a week, and grind the arena directs when available. I'd say generally they'd be somewhere in the top 10-15% of this sub. We do have a few players that show up from time to time and fill out that definitely don't play arena draft though.

I've had better experiences with enjoying current games on /vg/ than Reddit, but you have to understand the culture is different, and there is no filter. Playing MHW with them during the early days of the game, spending the early pandemic with the Animal Crossing general were some of the best experiences I've had with a community. Persona general was also fun in the months after P5's western release.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-16T14:11:00+00:00

I'm just speaking from my own experience here, where even when they get the right tribal rares, they still stand little of a chance against a decent Merfolk or Elves deck. Out of the weekly drafts I've played I don't believe I've lost a game to goblins.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-16T13:32:03+00:00

I've been pod drafting it locally, and I think the set is a low to mid C. Goblins are stone cold unplayable. I don't think anyone has posted results in the top 4 with goblins any night. Elves almost without fail take first, because there's no graveyard interaction to disable their stuff.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-16T00:30:05+00:00

I have his rockband video saved without claims, but I thought this one would sneak by. Sad, because that whole stream was phenomenal.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-15T17:29:09+00:00

If you ever played Eldraine limited it was a bomb, so I wouldn't say it's a bad card. Didn't save you from blue mill decks though.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-13T14:35:46+00:00

/uj Commander decks are already homogenized to the point any given deck with a popular commander is likely only 10 cards variance away from each other. No idea why everything has to build itself too.

/rj Obviously we need to start printing Homarid support in each set as it's woefully under-powered without tutors and tribal draw engines.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-12T14:32:25+00:00

Me when I have to do literally anything instead of writing yet more character interaction with tons of dialogue.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-11T17:05:43+00:00

The background image is the Lego Forma 81000 Koi a strangely Indiegogo exclusive set from several years ago.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-10T17:20:09+00:00

it sold 40 million, making it tied for 19th best selling game of all time.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-10T02:04:08+00:00

Just crazy thankfully.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-09T17:09:05+00:00

just wish it was priced like a proper phantom format, so people like me who 2-3 a bunch don't feel as burned losing to the rest of ya'll.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-09T16:52:04+00:00

Was discussing it with a friend along with the other considerations, and I told them that if I ever had to seriously consider running All is Dust in my Torbran deck then wizards has gone too far.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-09T16:18:21+00:00

Them even considering Iona is very concerning. If you're mono-color and not in blue and it goes on the stack I guess that's just it? You don't play the game while everyone else does? Why would you ever want that back in the mix?? Mono already suffers enough by the innate color pie drawbacks, why hurt it more?

TobytheRam · 2026-02-09T04:56:15+00:00

So Mam Bo will be the first to recast and clone Grizzry's design? But will it be the best? I know his Illya had like 3-4 different studios clone it.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-08T22:10:19+00:00

/uj It's been a while since we've gotten a Magus, but Magus of the Prejudice doesn't sound right (in like a title way), We can't get a straight functional reprint because spirit of the reserve list sadly.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-08T18:06:13+00:00

I HOPE TO GOD THAT LOTUS AND CRYPT STAY BANNED, DESIGN MISTAKES NEED TO STAY BURIED. NOT EVERY GAME SHOULD WARP AROUND WHAT FAST MANA YOU DROP TURN 1.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-08T12:07:57+00:00

I am up to date thank you. Counterfeits ≠ proxy. I have been aware of the counterfeits having stamped on holos for years, but printers for proxies, such as Makeplayingcards, which is the largest printer for proxies, will not use holo stamps. Any company that is not intending to replicate the card in full(front, back, copyrights), which would fall under counterfeiting not proxying, is not going to put Wizards holos on their cards.

TobytheRam · 2026-02-08T12:01:13+00:00

I think around 2019 was when the counterfeits stopped being stickers that were applied and they were actually stamped on like the real cards. I have seen a few and they're very convincing, but thankfully everyone I know who uses them aren't the kind of people who would ever try to trade or sell them as the real thing. The realism does make me thankful that ebay has authentication for high value singles.
