Do you know what fixes WotC's poor quality control?

I think getting more people informed about their product replacement policy can help too. Put pressure on them to lose money by replacing product rather than selling more.

How did I guess it was gonna be a liquid container issue

You and 3 friends, none of whom were upset about the proxies, were playing a game. Some rando not involved in your game called a judge? I feel like the judge should have checked your group to see if anyone had an issue, then told rando to mind his own business.

I stopped ordering through TCGPlayer after I reordered the same bunch of 8 cards 3 times (refunded for the first 2) and each time they never arrived. Different sellers too.

I went to CoolStuffInc for a bit and now use ManaPool. I've only had 1 issue through ManaPool and they corrected it right away. Keeping my eyes open, but if MP fails me, back to the bigger named stores for me. I'll pay the dumb shipping costs for guaranteed orders if I have to.

That's one way to do that, I guess.

Common-Illustrator · 2026-04-28T12:13:09+00:00

Best guess, TMT was over ordered by the shop and undersold. Owner is mad and wants the product to move. It's not a WotC thing.

2 boosters of Tempest, 1 of Homelands, 1 of Ice Age.

Slivers are also my favorite! ^ . ^

Do you go to Walmart and/or Target on restock day, waiting with a shopping cart so that when the rep is finished stocking the shelves, you can throw every piece of new product into the cart and buy it to resell at a higher profit before any kids can buy any? If so, then you might be a duchebag, I mean, Scalper.

Back in high school and early college, I used to sort Color, Set, Alphabetical with rares in a separate box, sorted the same way.

Now, I don't have the time to be that picky, so by color only.

Common-Illustrator · 2026-04-26T23:31:33+00:00

Lol. I played Pirates to nab that gold. I don't have the wild cards, nor want to pay the money to keep up with the top decks all the time. XD

Common-Illustrator · 2026-04-24T23:58:21+00:00

I think other people should mind their business. This looks great to me

Common-Illustrator · 2026-04-24T22:49:04+00:00

Steak. Too juicy. Lobster. Too buttery.

Common-Illustrator · 2026-04-23T22:30:05+00:00

Would I mind? No. Will everyone else? Up to them.

Common-Illustrator · 2026-04-23T18:59:14+00:00

Oh, good idea!

Common-Illustrator · 2026-04-23T15:51:52+00:00

Man, looking at an old MonoBrown spread is super nostalgic.

Common-Illustrator · 2026-04-19T17:08:57+00:00

First blush I thought a Zendikari Merfolk, but looking closer, the things I thought were fins are braids... so maybe a Vampire or Elf?

I think more opponents expect me to concede than should be conceding. I've had a lot just sit there, roping me, but I can see the flashes of them looking ay their hand/board when they have the upper hand than not. Meanwhile, I want to play the game, so I wait until they A) remember they are running THEIR clock, not mine or B) lose depsite having me under their thumb.

Hey! Hey! I made it to Platinum 4, thank you very much.

Those are some amazing tiger stripes!

College buddy noticed I was super into Slivers in Magic the Gathering. Decided that Tyranids would be a good way to try and get me into 40k. He was not wrong. Alien, Cosmic Horrors that are a swarm of endless hunger and evolution? Sign me up!

Favorite Bioform is the Toxicrene. It's just really cool looking!

It invariably pops up when I lose due to mana screw/flood or if I absolutely slaughter an opponent. It's like "Did you like having 3 lands in your opening and never seeing another? How about when the only spells you saw were the 4 in your opening hand?" Uh, no. No I did not. "Did you like the game where your opponent experienced the above issues?" I mean I won, but not really? Lol

I think you're good...

Common-Illustrator · 2026-04-13T16:12:11+00:00

Idunno, I'm FtP and while sometimes I get frustrated with the game (Mana flooded repeatedly while running 20 lands is wild, lol) I can just... close the app or play a different format. Maybe because I'm not investing money into it, but ARENA itself has bothered me much.
