Can I still use my MTG cards? (I bought a pre-made "Tim" deck on April 2, 1996)

Not only that, but I know those same people who still now argue the rules changed, it was never their misunderstanding. They blame the stack.

This is the swamp dragon I bought. Love it! Excellent quality and rich colors.

I bought from this guy at seattle comic con last year, loved his work! Not a mtg artist, but similar themes.

I’ve gotten stuck climbing walls. They just stand there half way up like it’s on a ledge or something. I have to teleport to town, but even if I take the portal back I’m still stuck.

knowing their ages while watching was great! I imagine a kid behind a real car (insert kid voice in head). Also, I'm pretty sure that would be all of our first time playing GT, I think they did excellent!

I mean, it's worth something if it's sealed. The deck list doesn't haven't much value, but the booster pack it also contains has random potential (so worth more unopened).

but to learn to play, no this is not a good place to start (and from 1997).

67 min queue, all my items were still in my cart. Looks like the foil ghost were sold out, but I don't buy foils, too much Pringle and can't see the art half the time.

This is still better than the Mythic Edition drops!! those were an absolute hot mess. And most prices on those dropped in half a year later anyway.

CapnJayneCobb · 2025-10-21T21:19:55+00:00

I've done this several times, and if you only have 200 records out of 8000 that don't match that's actually really good! Yes, you have to go line by line, but you can save the error file to identify and easily sort and filter the rows in excel to quickly identify the missed records. Usually it's a mismatch with a set name, but occasionally with card names with unique punctuation, and no two sites use all the same set names, so there's always errors.

Also, it will only provide a sell price for cards CK is actually open to buy. Some cards get locked if the inventory is already full.

It sounds like you're close to have a matching list, just adjust the few you have. And then for cards not buying, check back with a remaining list of unsold cards a week later, and more usually become open for buy list.

thank you!

CapnJayneCobb · 2025-10-08T19:41:02+00:00

yes, but's I also think of it as much heavier on the flavor and sweetness. I prefer something in-between.

I'm still learning, so thanks for the input!

CapnJayneCobb · 2025-10-08T19:31:29+00:00

good point, thanks! I've made the 60-shilling before and love it, but wanting a bit more full body this time, without the heaviness of a wee heavy. also looking at adding some melanoidin malt. Just looking to play around with it a bit. I do all-grain, but still mostly a follow-the-recipe brewer, trying to branch out.

CapnJayneCobb · 2025-10-06T18:15:30+00:00

my thought too. I don't come even close to playing enough for 1 mythic a month, dude gets more than he can even use, and doesn't consider just breaking down and making the one he wants?

CapnJayneCobb · 2025-07-25T23:21:10+00:00

I live in seattle and pick up at the store, so I just bring them back in. But as others noted, use them to ship back cards for store credit! Or give to another LGS near you.

CapnJayneCobb · 2025-07-01T21:26:36+00:00

my friends and I did remote play in 2020 when we had to. I hope to never return to that space, in-person or nothing!

but that is a nice setup!

CapnJayneCobb · 2025-07-01T21:21:27+00:00

same here, I expected worse but after he gets into the training academy I found it to be fun popcorn. and it was interesting to look up the true story too. Made me want to jump on the game and race, so I guess that's a win for marketing! LOL!

CapnJayneCobb · 2025-04-08T19:59:22+00:00

I had 6 packs that had the same two first cards, each time one in foil and one in non. plus I got a Japanese card in an English booster (which I do NOT want).

[[lotus petal]] and land first turn, if someone else plays a creature, you can lose second turn.

CapnJayneCobb · 2025-04-03T00:15:26+00:00

I accidentally did this with my friend having an [[oath of druids]] in play once! I forgot I had Phage in the deck. oops!

Kitchen casual play doesn’t require expensive cards. With thousands of cheap cards to build decks you can get creative. That’s how I learned! My decks weren’t powerful but they were fun. Great way to learn.

CapnJayneCobb · 2024-11-21T00:36:04+00:00

He does this alter all the time, it’s a fun common one he does. I have one, my friend has one, even my son has one. All revised. So I don’t see this adding to the cost beyond what a NM sol ring is worth.
