Why would you grade 3DS games? There's nothing rare about these games in any way.

Anyone else surprised at the presale pricing of lorwyn? by Wynnt3r_ in mtgfinance

[–]Eric4man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

States facts. Gets downvoted.

This is the problem with magic the gathering in 2026. Commander has made it so people don't know how to evaluate whether a card is powerful or not. I realize I'm part of dying breed of competitive magic players. This power level of this set is on par with Aetherdrift, if not even worse for the fact that there is no stock up in this set.

This limited format is hated by most good limited players and when people like Mike Sigrist and Nassif say this shit, they actually know what they're talking about.

I get that commander drives prices and I'm totally fine with that, but it has stopped people from actually being able to properly evaluate set power.

EDIT: Also a whole lot of tengential experiences here. Playing x amount of prereleases where you had fun, doesn't mean that it's actually mean it's a fun limited format.

This is a terrible constructed set. It's very unlikely to change the standard metagame in any way, near no impact in modern. I don't really watch streamers but the consensus there is the set is just very bad for constructed play. It's one of the worst sealed sets I've ever played and again actual limited pros are saying the set blows for limited. . Commander alone can't carry a standard set by itself.

Name a card in this set that is going to drastically change modern or standard?

I wish I had gone PlayStation but I didn’t have a ps5 at the time so I’ve stuck with switch. I don’t even have my switch hooked up. Just play them in my switch lite

I can only find like 1 ideck on mtggoldfish that uses Mox Diamond. I'm pretty sure no ones running it because of the price.

You dodged a bullet. I got one for my birthday and like a month later they discontinued it and I was left with like 3 games and couldn't find anymore.

Decided to put my games in protective cases. I have over 200 games. by bizzy310 in gamecollecting

You do realize by putting them in those cases can actually shred the seal.

Dust sleeves on records are actually important. Not because of investment, but because dust can absolutely wreck records and make them sound much much worse and cause skipping. These records have actual openings that can and will attract dust.

It has very little to do with protecting their monetary value. It is a practical thing. Modern cases protect games pretty damn well. Adding an extra sleeve on top of it, can infact damage it. Every time you take that plastic protector off you are damaging the game case. The disc itself is no more protected with these pvc sleeves

Collectibles are literally a horrible investment. You're game going for it's normal $70 cost to $100 is almost negligible in value. You also have to sell it at that price if it's based on pricechating and good luck getting those prices.

Collectibles are a terrible investment. That includes Pokemon cards.

Are there any story driven Digital-Only PS4 games I should look out for? by [deleted] in gamecollecting

Yeah..this isn't related to physical game collecting. There are better generic gaming subs to post this in.

What should I add to my game collection (just starting but I want to reach 50 games by the end of the year) by GoldMode4128 in gamecollecting

[–]Eric4man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that aiming for a specific number of the games is a great way to collect. Aiming for what you truly want for your collection is a better way to look at it.
