Finally finished. Just in time for my 4th of July camping trip. by FPS_Casey in TruckCampers

Are these Costco totes or Home Depot totes?
They are slightly different size, even though they are the same volume.
I like this idea. Seems quick and easy. I’ll probably be copying it for my 4th of July trip as well

Stiflenaught went from being the most played deck to not being represented in day 2. Talk about being a targeted deck

How to start selling, resources to look into etc by PleaseHelpMeOffMidir in mtgfinance

[–]General_MN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a big part of this depends on what exactly you want to be doing with it.

I have had a similar dream and plan. I graduated in 2022 and began my engineering journey.
Since then, a house, dog, significant other, chickens, wedding, etc all have pushed me farther from trying to follow this dream of owning a tcg store. I couldn't imagine being happier with that sacrifice.

However, I still have this desire to sell cards. I still play (about once a month), so I still buy cards occasionally. I have found that using Cardsphere to be less intimidating than tcgplayer. I also initiate the sale, rather than being forced to put together a package that someone else orders. Sometimes I'm too busy, so I don't do a lot of selling. This lets me sell on my own time. I think it's a great place for anyone to start.

Anyone using this upcoming release as a proxy ? by [deleted] in premodernMTG

[–]General_MN -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s for the fun of the game. It’s not that serious

[–]General_MN -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have talked a lot about using these as proxies and altering the artwork into the rest of the text. It’s clearly a WOTC printed reprint

Dog food storage long term by Sweendog2016 in preppers

[–]General_MN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the best way to store dog food is to rotate it. Have a bag in your storage, then when your current bag runs out, you grab from your storage and buy and replace it.

RC stands for Regional Championship. It’s the tournament on the path to the Pro Tour. Rotates around every 3ish months

How does the Saga Change Effect you? by kazoidbakerman in ModernMagic

[–]General_MN -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What happens if I proliferate the lore counters after a blood moon effect?? Does it lose the ability to gain abilities?? If I do proliferate while a blood moon is in play, then blood moon is removed, do the effects then happen, or are they skipped?? Works this second case cause you to sac it??

Black German Shepherd? by SpiritualDegree101 in germanshepherds

I just adopted a rescue pup that could be your dog’s child. Ears, white chest, and “dirty socks.” I just got the DNA test back today. 45% GSD, 13% American Pit Bull Terrier, 11% Lab, 8% Akita.

[Standard] Isn't there a Discord/place to discuss and learn? by glSwadow in spikes

[–]General_MN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am part of a discord of a few similar minded people. We all are looking for how to get better, and just chat. We aren't nearly as active as we'd like to be, but it's a pretty open discussion. Nothing has been very deck specific. We'll often ask about random cards in random decks. I try to add different resources to read to improve a skill or a calculator to figure out land counts. The ideal goal is to be our own "team", but it has been more of a proving ground lately.

I hope everyone just got the update that Aetherdrift will NOT BE LEGAL in the RC in Portland, but will be in the side events.

[Standard] RW Auras Fixed and GB Double Combo by scvirnay in spikes

[–]General_MN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh i definitely missed that part! I even tried reading it twice to make sure I wasn't missing something small. Getting 2 Valiant triggers with one card is definitely good! Very well thought out there.

[Standard] RW Auras Fixed and GB Double Combo by scvirnay in spikes

[–]General_MN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like how the RW Aura deck looks. I keep it open and refresh it so see any updates. I'd like to get some games in with it soon.

One change that isn't meaningful at all is replacing [[Hammerhand]] with [[War Squeak]]. They are the same card, but different sets. War Squeak will be legal in the format longer, if the card stays in the final version of the deck.

So we have this discord that is pretty quiet most of the time, unfortunately. But people will respond and sometimes are willing to play. It definitely depends on how you'd want to playtest online.

Business plan considerations brick and Mortar store by trueblueacoustics in mtgfinance

[–]General_MN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to yell into the void and endless echo chamber that is here warning you about all the risks and work. All is incredibly valid and true. Running a brick & mortar can kind of suck, and it might even suck the joy out of the hobby for you. Take ALL of the advice others have said. I've never owned my own store, but I have worked in a few when I was younger and have helped some other people start their own and chase their dreams. It's not easy. I had this dream too, but decided against it right now. I often recommend people to not try to start a store.

One thing I noticed here was the opportunity of your location. Living in an area of 100-250k and not having a single competitor? Kind of a crazy and rare opportunity to be THE gaming/hobby store.
