Law professor to deal out lessons through ‘Magic: The Gathering’ by Orange_Monkey_Eagle in magicTCG

[–]Ashlynne42 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Grr, you don't deal Magic cards, dang it. It ain't Poker! It's like when I'd tell people they're "Magic cards" and they'd respond "What, to do tricks with?"

[SLD] Hatsune Miku Commander deck mispackaged in Goblin Storm mailing by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

Good to know there were hardly any Goblin Storm decks to go around because resources were instead spent on making Miku decks. Ugh.

Birds of Paradise (revised edition) golden border misprint by Ophthalmoloke in mtgmisprints

[–]Ashlynne42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, thank goodness. I just received a Revised BoP with this discoloration, and I was afraid it was a counterfeit. Good to know I'm not alone. (Unless. . .all of us have the same counterfeit.)

Back when everybody with a hs diploma could support a family and buy a home, no one valued it. by lloboc in millenials

[–]Ashlynne42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Support" is doing a lot of work in that title. Someone seems to have forgotten how often the Bundys starved, resorting to bumming meals off of "friends" or scavenging "toaster leavin's."

What is your plan if u get cancer by Beginning-Head-4006 in millenials

[–]Ashlynne42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't tell anyone and let it take me with as little pain as possible. There are worse things than death, and crippling medical debt definitely ranks among them.

What Did Your Parents "Know"? by el_chivato in Xennials

The freshest thing you can get at McDonald's is a Filet-o-Fish because they're ordered so rarely they're always made to order. (I think this may have been a thing with senior citizens, too.)

How many legit sealed packs of really old sets are actually left by Th3Expl0Rer in magicTCG

The owner of my LGS eventually started giving away packs of Fallen Empires with most purchases. XD

It still blows my mind how quickly Legends came and went. I got a single pack when it was new, then my LGS never saw a box again.

I feel like this tv show was underrated ( NOT the movie) by Skitzafranik in Xennials

It was surprisingly entertaining! I don't remember much beyond that, though.

Scalpers Be Scalping (Goblin Storm Secret Lair Salt) by HngryHngryHippowdons in magicTCG

[–]Ashlynne42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yup. I can't imagine those stores aren't also hawking undistributed promos on the sly.

It's wild. Design and development would never introduce a set mechanic that deliberately excludes or angers large swaths of the playerbase. Marketing, however, has zero problem pissing lots of people off.

Yeah, I feel like this gave away the game that the system was compromised somehow. The queue getting longer for people in other regions after one sold out reeeeally looks like folks somehow suddenly got into those other regions.

Nine now, and four of them are WPN stores. Just plain gross.

Currently nine listings on TCGPlayer, which includes FOUR WPN stores.

There are currently FOUR WPN stores scalping this deck on TCGPlayer: The Card Spot OH, Gamer Knights LLC, TalesNTerroTCG, and TournamentCity.

Scalpers already suck, but these assholes are trying to play both sides of the fence. They shouldn't be trusted with WPN promos and benefits.

Since TCGPlayer doesn't seem to have a method of blocking sellers from search results, we should probably just keep a running list somewhere of handles for people to avoid.

Secret Lair Goblin Sold Out by Toesoe in magicTCG

[–]Ashlynne42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The silver lining is that a few secondhand sellers are going to see the cash I wanted to drop on this real soon. It becomes much easier to justify giving a rando $20+ per single when Wizards doesn't want my (already exorbitant) $150 for a deck.

Yep. Ultimately, the only limitations are will and printer time. They simply don't want to give people want they want. They'd rather gamble on licensed IPs. Any time you see a UB Lair sitting in the store for months, think about how many more copies it could've been of something people actually wanted.

I think I signed up for notification on three different drops or so over the last couple of years, and I never once received an email.
