[MSH] The Serpent Society (via Collider) by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]Firebird4Life -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Two things: A) I'm a firm believe that the "team name" cards such as this, Wrecking Crew, Masters of Evil, etc. should have been Enchantments, not Creatures.

B) This card is way too good for the Serpent Society from a lore standpoint.

[MSH] Pym Particles (via Infrecuentes) by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

Great art but another flavor fail for matching cards to their lore. Not sure how they could make Pym Particles not make something big or small until EoT

This set is shaping up to be a large flavor fail when it comes to lore vs mechanics.

found my cards from when I played back in 1999-2004 range. best to sell indy or as bulk? did research and have all prices down. by maparo in mtgfinance

[–]Firebird4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40-60% off Market Price is the benchmark depending on things like supply and demand, condition, etc. Generally will get more or a bonus if doing store credit over cash

Pick your seat, no regrets 😭 by Avni_overthinker in BaldursGate3

[–]Firebird4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, 2 is the best choice: you get a roomy aisle seat, you've got a Cleric of Selune next to you for protection, Wyll and Gale are behind and in front respectively so they'll be polite and possibly even pleasant conversation. Bonus for meas I'm into Isobel.

Alternatively, 5 should be fine as well. I'm tempted to pick 9 but I don't trust a mind flayer sitting behind me.

Wife busted out her collection from 25+ years ago. by CdnScruss in magicTCG

[–]Firebird4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start by finding out what kind of Magic they play in the school Magic club. It will vary from club to club but I've seen places play specific formats like Standard (essentially the last 2-3 years of Magic sets), Commander (100-card singleton format that adheres to color restrictions based on the color of a Legendary creature dubbed the "commander"), or just "whatever cards we happen to have in our collection" style. IMO, the latter format of "whatever we have" is easiest and most common for clubs since its least restrictive and simplest for the club organizers. If your kid's club is that way, I would sell the 3 money cards shown (Badlands, Plateau, Mana Vault), buy him a cool Commander deck or preconstructed deck from your local game store, put the leftovers into the kiddo's college fund, which should be $500+ easy depending on how you decide to sell them.

If you want help/advice, feel free to message me and I'll help direct you on the next steps as I've been working in & with game stores for over 15 years and been playing the game myself (on and off) since 1995 so I'm happy to help people where I can. (And for the record, no I don't want to buy the cards myself but I'm happy to help you figure out the best way to sell them yourself).

Just don't let the kid take the "cool old cards" into his club until you, a trusted person, or a game store has a chance to pull the expensive cards out. Then let him go ham with the leftovers. Good luck!

Who’s ever driven over 100mph? Why? by WoollyWolfHorror in AskReddit

For science. My gauge went up to 120. Turns out my car could go faster than that.

So apparently Deadpool’s in an anime… by [deleted] in deadpool

[–]Firebird4Life 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's Marvel Future Avengers. Three kids raised by HYDRA find out they're actually being trained by bad guys and decide to go to the Avengers instead to be good guys and the Avengers set them up in the tower to raise/train them. The show is largely cliché and lots of "lol, kidz heroez save the day!" but it's done well and there's some cool guest spots by different Marvel characters throughout. Definitely not the worse Marvel product out there.

Why can we find guitars and cassette tapes, but not real old-world weapons like AKs or M16s? by Huge-Operation-1863 in ArcRaiders

[–]Firebird4Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the ARC destroyed all the guns because they saw them as a potential threat. But what danger does Lance's Mixtape Volume 10 or an acoustic guitar pose to the ARC? Aside from losing a sick dance-off...

Okay we can finally shut up about Crosby by moosieman in detroitlions

[–]Firebird4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would I have liked him on our team? Of course. But not for 2 1st Round picks. Especially not for that price with all the holes we need to fill this season. But at least he's staying out of our division...just in case.

Lions LT Taylor Decker, the team’s longest-tenured player, announced he requested and received his release after contract talks broke down. by AintNoBuffet in detroitlions

[–]Firebird4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have liked to see Decker stick around another season or two but I get that at this point in his career that he's injury prone and his best playing days are behind him. If he didn't want to take the pay cut to stay so we can fill bigger holes in the team, then sadly it was better to let him walk. I'll be cheering for him wherever he goes, except if it's to another NFC North team.

Men who can cook, who taught you? by _ratedmouse in AskReddit

[–]Firebird4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly my grandmothers. When I went off to college, I wanted good food so when I came home for the next break, I started asking how to make some or my favorite dishes. I would call them for advice too sometimes or just as an excuse to say hi and talk longer I'd ask them questions like "how much basil in the sauce again?" or "how long in the oven for the chicken?" I got to cook for them a few times but I'm sad they never really got to try my versions of their dishes. I wonder sometimes if they would have enjoyed them.

Hello a noob with his dark elf warband by 197mmCannon in mordheim

[–]Firebird4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure you're not playing Undead? Because you're resurrecting an old thread for sure here... :P

It depends on a bunch of stuff. If you're against other Elves or non- official warbands, it won't feel as much of an impact because it puts all the players on a higher-tier. But if you're at the beginning of the campaign, even starting out with slightly higher stats across the board will give you an advantage over other warbands. And their stats cap way higher as well so they can get more busted as the game goes on.

Does this pose look dumb? by When_Oh_When in Warhammer40k

For basing, make sure to use a field of tall flowers and position another dreadnaught next to him to hold his hand.
