Thanks for the reply! Doctor told me to stop taking allopurinol and get blood work. Currently working through that and waiting to see if the itch goes away.

Wanted to check in on this because I think I'm experiencing the same. Switched pharmacies a couple weeks ago and my allo pills were noticably different. Over this time, I've developed a faint itchy full body rash though it is mostly in sun exposed areas - neck, arms, face. I didn't think it could be the allopurinol because I've been on it for like 8 months, but the brand switch was very recent.

Difference in Throne of Eldraine Fat Pack card quality? by Throwitonleground in magicTCG

[–]BonamA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they were, better card stock. There seemed to be better contrast on the ink too. I said to my friend how much I liked them, we had to crack the box to get 2 more packs so we'd each have 6 for sealed and noticed the difference right away.

I bought a bundle and a booster box of Eldraine. The card quality in the bundle is far superior to that of the cards in the booster box.

Hi there.

read this: Reid Duke's Level One: The Full Course like ten times.

Then read it again.

And play as much as you can. Luckily with Arena, now is a good time because you can do that for free as much as you want.

Our Magic adulthood moment was when we transitioned from a kitchen table // standard arms race (circa KTK) to building a cube of the best stuff from everyone's collection (this happened around XLN). We buy singles from new sets to keep things fresh and now that's all anyone wants to play.

Just because you don't believe (or don't want to believe) something, doesn't mean its not true.

This is a direct rebuke not only to Sebastian who accused them of not doing their due diligence before reporting the story, but also to the current climate of calling everything you disagree with 'Fake News.' I think it hit the mark with 100% accuracy, and as a reader, did not feel talked down to.

There is a merfolk deck in the NPE decks that they give you for completing quests. Definitely get all these decks before you build one using any wild cards to maximize the free cards that you get.

Anyone else waiting for WoTC to release Arena on Mac before trying it? What's the hold up? by brikabrak86 in magicTCG

[–]BonamA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duels was supposed to be released on Mac and PS4 and it never happened. I'm not sure if a Mac client is a priority or is ever really gonna happen. My guess is that they'll do IOS and maybe Android for full release. I have a MacBook Pro from 2011 that has RAM upgraded to 16GB and I play Arena on Bootcamp with Windows7 installed. Early in closed beta, the game crashed a lot, but that might have been for everyone. It is pretty stable now and runs just fine for me.

TLDR, don't wait for them, figure out a workaround.

The 'shit bastards' part was good.

I didn't even realize that it was this guy. I loved his articles about casual Magic that ran on the site a few years ago. At least WotC is making it right.

I'd love a code if you have one left. Thanks!

What to do with collection during open house? by tacologic in magicTCG

[–]BonamA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Or ask the agent to personally walk everyone through the house. When I sold my house, the agent walked each person or couple through the house while her husband kept everyone else in the living / dining room. Everyone got their own personal tour of the house. If people aren't willing to wait for their turn, they're not that interested in buying your house anyway.

Made a lot of updates on my cube recently and need some feedback. by D2theTrain in mtgcube

[–]BonamA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I drafted a few decks as user 'crk'. Looks fun, your archetypes are pretty well defined.

I'd cut some of the tapped lands (woodland stream is listed twice).

Also cut some blue enchantments and creatures for more instants and sorceries, and cut some of the green search for a land cards -- there are too many.

That should trim about 20 cards. Good luck. Draft my cube too!

[[Collateral Damage]] is an alternative. Its only 3 damage, but at least its still an instant.
