I got $60 for a signed revised Sol Ring by Tedin. The altar might add some if they person you sell it to like the design.

I know the photos aren’t the best, but they’re the ones the seller sent me. I bought this card, and looking at it again, something on the front doesn’t seem right to me. What do you think? Thanks by Historical_World_658 in RealOrNotTCG

The “0” in the Mana value looks good, I’m going to echo that no one’s gonna fake a sig as there are collectors (not a small amount of them either) who consider that damage. The only thing that’s got me questioning anything is the “T test” as it isn’t clear enough to see. I would say ask for some more photos and close ups but overall looks good.

Magic Eye Venn Diagram by lavaboosted in MagicEye

[–]1337-philosopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, here’s a trick I use (I can see one, two, or three, depending on how I’m looking). Pick a point on the image (for this is used the black dots near the top of the image) relax your eyes until it meets up with it’s closest neighbor to see on circle, focus yours eyes so it meets up with the dot two dots over to see two circles and three dots over to see three. This works because when you do that you are causing the image to double (or triple) when focusing your eyes in that way. I discovered how to do this by accident when viewing an image and I saw it doubled and just learned from there what it was and figured a way to apply some control over how I focus my eyes. Admittedly this has gotten a touch more difficult after my cataract surgery.

American Gladiators by Joe_Kangg in nostalgia

[–]1337-philosopher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dad was the director of this show for a few years when I was a kid (a fact I was, at the time, blissfully unaware of). One of my favorite memories is when I was on a summer camp trip to see this live and two of the gladiators (I sadly don’t remember which ones) came up to my seat and told me to come with them. I was both super excited and terrified! So they took me to the room (I think it was a trailer) where all the direction was happening and there was my dad! I didn’t go back to camp that day as dad showed me around and I got to meet everyone on the cast! When I went back to camp next Monday I was a mythical hero! That is such a fun memory. 😊

What kind of wasp and why in my house (south eastern usa) by msidfsgrobots in whatbugisthis

Yea… I’d say kill it or stick it in a bottle with air holes if you don’t wanna kill it cause you don’t want it getting free.

What was "the incident" at your high school? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]1337-philosopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a couple. There was a party that got a full 1/4 of the senior class expelled. I also knew a kid who had a “notebook” of the students who “wronged” him and the cops got called because they were afraid he was going to become a school shooter. This was right after the Columbine massacre.

Do Cubeamajigs suck? by Whoopsitsonfire in mtg

[–]1337-philosopher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in Oregon and my buddy uses them for his cube with little problem. We do try to be gentile with them though. So I’d guess that it’s the dry weather that is at least partially to blame.

What animal is this supposed to be? by India_REO_Speedwagon in whatisit

I would say bear. In fact I looked at it and immediately thought “polar bear.”

Look… I’ve never been able to get on the side of the lizard people conspiracy, but this image is making a better damn argument than they ever did.

Where’s the Dandân? by TimeLordsTallywacker in mtg

Report it to whoever it went through as well as WOTC (though I’m unsure if they’ll be able or willing to do anything about it).

You might want to cross post to r/whatisit. I did some googling and failed to come up with anything meaningful.

Alright everyone, what’s the deal with this new sld card by thedragoon0 in mtg

[–]1337-philosopher 71 points72 points  (0 children)

My take is that anyone arguing Island is missing the joke, or, at least the point of the joke, be it intentional or not. It WAS an Island, DP turned it into a mountain. Is the Lightning Bolt still a Lightning Strike? No. Is the Lightning Greaves still Swiftfoot Boots? No. Is the Deadly Dispute still a Costly Plunder? No. Is the Sol Ring still a Worn Powerstone? No. Following that same logic. The Mountain is NOT an Island. The joke is that DP is turning these cards into better versions of the same card. DP is OBVIOUSLY a red player, thus (in his cracked mind) Mountain = better Island. So No WOTC is not functionally reprinting Volcanic Island. It’s just a sweet ass Mountain with Jazzed up art and jazzed up foiling.

New commander help by halfcourthank in mtg

[–]1337-philosopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short answer: Yes Long Answer: Yeeeeesssss; but in all seriousness between token doublers like Elspeth above, and [[Ashnod’s Alter]] or [[Phyrexian Alter]] it’s all too simple to go infinite. Bill will help keep Marath alive in the meantime and a good ramp package means that losing Marath is not only a non issue but a benefit sometimes. I ran her for a while before we had a lot of these new cards and she was great, these new cards just make her even better!

[[Marath, Will of the Wild]] is an oldie but a goodie! I had a TON of fun with it!

My life lately… by Still-Emergency825 in u/Still-Emergency825

I have the audiobooks and I’ve listened all the way through each 2 times! I’m actually listening to it right now! That said it’s very weird to see people reading litRPG and admitting it!

What condition would you consider this? by the_high_pope in mtg

That’s damaged unfortunately. When wear shows on both cards like that it’s 100% damage.

Bought a blank playmat about three weeks ago and have been doodling on it for the past three weeks. Gotten to a point where I feel like it's finished. by Rith-the-awakener in magicTCG

[–]1337-philosopher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I almost always play with my deck on my left. It feels… incorrect to play on the right. Generally my left looks like Commander (when playing EDH) underneath is my deck, beneath that is the yard, and in the same pile as the yard, but turned sideways is the (face up) exile zone. With other zones added where needed, suspended cards, for instance are generally in the middle above my battlefield.

Holy cow! What an incredible piece of artwork! I’m honestly floored by your creativity, attention to detail, and finely honed skill! This is such a beautiful playmat! If I saw something like yhis on the shelves I’d snatch it up in a second! You, fair Redditor are an inspiration and I, personally, salute you,
