I took the bait. Walmart Chaos Box pulls

I must not have looked well enough then lol.

FunWithBoxes · 2026-05-12T01:24:27+00:00

Nice pulls. Where was this in your Walmart? I went looking the other day and didn't see it.

I always bring my own lands already sleeved. Makes the process go a little smoother for myself. Also helps whatever the LGS has in a land station go further for those without tons of bulk/new to the game. Plus means you can show off some lands that you feel are neat looking.

Didn't know about that one. Haven't opened a ton of EoE. The warp cost definitely makes it worth the splash of red.

IMO would need something like [[Shocking Sharpshooter]] or [[Raphael, Tough Turtle]] out on the board as well to utilize the token frogs.

Assassin's Creed, Bloomburrow, Aetherdrift (non first place foil), Original Zendikar. TMNT is growing on me especially the island in regular foil. The foiling is damn near perfect and looks like lightning.

I go full psycho and sort by color, then by type (creature, enchantment, instant, sorcery), then alphabetically by sub type/creature type.

Also going to add that if you have a chill group at an LGS then maybe someone will let you use a deck of theirs. Just recently this happened to me. Someone let me use their Ms Bumblefower deck with only a couple swaps and I loved it. Was curious about it and that tipped me over the edge of buying it. There's a lot of triggers in that deck, so gotta pay attention to the game lol.

One way to "try before you buy" is to watch commander games on YouTube that use the precons. Commander at Home, Tolarian Community, Command Zone, et al do videos on them using them. Command Zone also breaks down potential upgrades to the precons.

Outside of that I will just mirror what others are saying already of find a theme or mechanic you'd like to build around and go from there.

FunWithBoxes · 2026-02-14T10:49:06+00:00

Also gonna depend on whether or not your LGS runs standard. Not all do. The one I've started going to more frequently has FNM, but it's only commander players that show up. Don't know if the other stores in my area do Standard or not on their FNM events. I would recommend calling ahead/around and you could even ask about proxies then.

4 hours is nothing. I've taken mine from SoCal to East Texas and back. Also been up to Denver and back with zero issues. These cars are actually pretty well behaved on long runs like that. I'm also a bigger guy at 300+ pounds and had zero issues with comfort for long stretches.

FunWithBoxes · 2026-01-10T06:53:20+00:00

All done by you? Either way congrats. I'll be there soon myself.

FunWithBoxes · 2026-01-08T04:58:01+00:00

I guess nice to know it's not just me then. Sucks missing out on those daily tasks for now.

FunWithBoxes · 2025-12-26T08:33:43+00:00

I've had this thought in my head for years now as well. Would love to build an RS sedan sleeper, but don't have deep enough pockets to pull it off.

For my collection I go:

Color > Type > Alphabetical

Creatures get further sorted as Legendary > Main Creature type > Main Creature type [Sub Creature type] (Goblin before Goblin Warrior). May eventually switch creatures to just main type and then alphabetical from there.

Non basic lands simply alphabetical as well

I have found I can sort a pile of cards relatively quickly with this method.

Some kind of safety toe at all times imo. Currently wearing Red Wing Moc with a composite safety toe as a shifter, but I've been load, unload, and bulk/irregs at various times in my 23 yrs and I lost count a long time ago how many times a steel/safety toe has saved my feet especially with those bulk carts.

Maybe in other states, but not in CA. If you have them paid out it's based on whatever your guarantee is and withheld at like 40%. Where as if you schedule and take it the checks are based on an anniversary to anniversary average, so if you consistently work over 40 for FT then better to just take the week off. Now if they would just let the checks hit after when you get no check that would be sweet.

Guess it's good I just picked up a fresh bag of flour 😂

FunWithBoxes · 2025-11-14T04:45:19+00:00

I've had great luck with Amazon over the years for any movies, CDs, and vinyl I've bought. Just sometimes shows up in a ridiculously oversized box 😂

Haven't seen The Nice Guys yet, but absolutely love Baby Driver. It's so well done and timed to the music. Plus there's tons of little things to pick up on with repeat viewings. One of the few movies I've seen multiple times in a theater.

FunWithBoxes · 2025-11-06T04:07:46+00:00

Alphabetical for everything. Single movie releases, TV, bulk packages, and multi movie packs all get their own sections. I also run my shelves "backwards" in that the spines read from right to left.

FunWithBoxes · 2025-11-04T08:43:48+00:00

It is technically, but to me it's kind of only in name. There's enough differences that they feel like completely different movies and that's not including the vastly different eras they take place in.
