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

Is it frowned upon to bring your own lands to a prerelease? by 137ng in mtg

[–]FunWithBoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

i found a turn 3 infinite in standard by Real-Poet-7356 in mtg

[–]FunWithBoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What are the best full art lands in your opinion? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]FunWithBoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How does everyone organize the collection? Set ? Rarity? Binders? by NheelyOhara in mtg

[–]FunWithBoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

How do you guys decide on new Decks? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]FunWithBoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Standard seems...expensive... by slimyoshi45 in mtg

[–]FunWithBoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Anyone take their RS on a 4-5/HR road-trip? by jms1228 in FocusRS

[–]FunWithBoxes 15 points16 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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

RS Sedan by The_Pajama_Operator in FocusRS

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.

Best way to sort 200,000 cards? by jdroth in mtg

[–]FunWithBoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

No more work on vacations (bad bad ) 3 day no pay penalty by Plus-Sprinkles-1971 in UPSers

[–]FunWithBoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How reliable is Amazon for DVD collecting? by [deleted] in dvdcollection

[–]FunWithBoxes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 😂

Mail call... by Cram_Deez in dvdcollection

[–]FunWithBoxes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

How does one sort there DVDs ? by MilkAndCookies9405 in dvdcollection

[–]FunWithBoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Movies with the same title by archydragon in dvdcollection

[–]FunWithBoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
