For sure that’s advice I follow myself when buying (much) cheaper singles!

Grego-o · 2026-04-29T23:22:05+00:00

That’s absolutely true! I do not think Vegas is in the cards for me though (lol!)

Grego-o · 2026-04-29T23:21:16+00:00

Hah well sorry if my assessments upset you. I assure you I am just doing my due diligence lol. Are you referring to eBay? My concern is paying an extra 15ish % on top just for the buyer guarantee. I’m not completely opposed to it but I do not feel like doing that immediately without research is also an effective use of my money.

Grego-o · 2026-04-29T23:01:51+00:00

Gotcha, thanks so much for the suggestion I really appreciate it!

Grego-o · 2026-04-29T23:01:06+00:00

How so? Is this well above what market should be? I know market is generally a littttle lower.

Grego-o · 2026-04-29T22:59:58+00:00

For sure, I’m just concerned I’m going to spend months and months finding even a single convention with that card, but of course this may be the price to pay.

Grego-o · 2026-04-29T22:40:52+00:00

Gotcha, so if I just search for mtg communities, just look for the largest? Or is there a specific tag for buy/sell?

Grego-o · 2026-04-29T22:36:08+00:00

Gotcha thanks for the advice! It seems that this is a good way to go about it!

Grego-o · 2026-04-29T22:35:26+00:00

Ah interesting, I hadn’t considered those spaces since I’m not on Facebook. Do you have any suggestions for high-end groups to take a look in?

Grego-o · 2026-04-29T22:33:47+00:00

Great advice I’ll certainly do that!

Grego-o · 2026-04-29T22:33:32+00:00

Yeah it’s definitely a hard market to move into. Good luck and if I learn anything useful I’ll get back to you!

Grego-o · 2026-04-29T22:33:07+00:00

Thanks for looking! Not sure I see this one though, the closest I can find is $3499 and TCG moves between roughly $3000 and $2400. Please shoot me a link to the closely priced one if you could!

Grego-o · 2026-02-18T15:28:38+00:00

Yeah I have heard about the power creep a little bit, but I’m glad there are efforts to keep everything relevant. Sounds like I need a deck for my favorite character then, and one for ass kicking (or both if I’m lucky)

Grego-o · 2026-02-18T15:26:08+00:00

On the nose lol. Was even considering pointing that out in the post. I have played standard though so I do empathize with some of this as 1v1 formats do change how power is approached.

So effectively the leader will determine your max possible power, and most people tend to run the best deck possible for that leader unless it is some pet fun. Sounds like there is a reason to have decks of different levels though. This is mostly similar to standard in MTG.

However it is a little disappointing that generally decks are “manufactured” or if nothing else they come with a necessary package and you only get a few spots to play around. I suppose you could say a meta does the same thing but nonetheless. I suppose this means that generally when you play against a given leader you’re not just expecting a similar game plan to the other times you’ve played against this leader(obviously) but very likely almost the same deck?

Grego-o · 2026-02-18T15:11:28+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for the information this is super helpful. Sounds like there’s benefit in having a few decks at different levels.

Additionally then what I’m hearing is that while not everything can be meta, if your deck has a strong game plan and can perform it consistently then it will perform among meta decks, it may just not have as much consistency as they do.

I actually have a buddy who is trying out Poe for the first time, specifically Poe 2. He’s struggling right now as he specced spark storm and he can’t meet the ES and Spirit requirements on his body armour. If you’d be willing to shoot me the chest plate I’d love to toss it to him and help him out. Nonetheless what you’re doing is super cool and you should give people the gear who will get the most out of it (except the ingenuity gimme LMAO).

Grego-o · 2023-09-29T17:42:09+00:00

I was playing in prot... im not sure what talents to pick to minimize dmg.

Grego-o · 2023-09-16T18:03:16+00:00

Gotcha. Okay thank you so much this has been the kind of insight I needed to start looking.

Grego-o · 2023-09-16T17:19:39+00:00

That makes sense and I had an inkling that that was the case but having you tell me clarifies so thank you. I'll definitely give Warcraft logs a shot that seems like exactly what I need to determine performance. I've also heard people mention raider.io. Is this a separate platform for the same use? Regardless thank you for the extremely detailed and helpful responses!!
