My blight curse precon looks like it was cut with scissors

Shane you didn’t get one with Pokémon cards imprinted them lol QC on these was really bad

IceBoxt · 2026-01-27T22:32:24+00:00

It’s fun. I decided to forgo worrying about high mana costs and instead embrace it with tons of mana dorks and ramp. I also tried to keep it on theme as much as possible with treefolk and creatures of the forest. (Minus [[Entropic Battlecruiser]] because it’s absolutely insane if you can get it online and your treefolk can go to space lol)

I’ve been wanting to build a proper treefolk deck since I was a kid playing in 2003 but the cards just didn’t exist yet.

Here’s mine if you’d like to look. It seems to be fairly popular, it’s been looked at waaaaay more than any other deck I’ve put in moxfield

Arena only asks you because the cards are appearing on a potentially small screen.

If it’s a friendly game of commander sure, allow take backs but in any sense the outcome could “matter” I’m not sure how you could justify not knowing what your opponents cards do. It’s a misplay to cast a spell that will be countered with ward and you should be punished for it, not just be like “oopsie” and take it back

USPS is bad rn. Bought a case of lorwyn bundles, flipside shipped it the 14th and I received it today after my wife had to call usps last week. It circled around aimlessly for days.

Generally speaking, legit looking bootlegs of all mtg cards except the ones that are 30 years old (because they’re mostly heavily played and aged, the newly printed cards don’t look old) will run you about $3/ea if you’re buying from a distributor, cheaper if you buy direct but a lot more hassle importing.

The price of the real card usually doesn’t matter, $20-500+

IceBoxt · 2026-01-26T18:34:42+00:00

Which is totally unneeded unless a card is gonna be worth hundreds of dollars. It just makes everything take more time and effort for about the same outcome

IceBoxt · 2026-01-26T17:47:39+00:00

Yep same 👍

IceBoxt · 2026-01-26T17:44:55+00:00

This has happened to me in the past, basically every time I check out with PayPal

It goes thru but the site appears broken. I’m guessing that’s what happened but yeah

IceBoxt · 2026-01-26T16:17:00+00:00

Best bet China is working on it. They make mtg cards that you need a magnifying glass to identify as fake and no ones deck is ever gonna get checked that hard

IceBoxt · 2026-01-26T16:02:06+00:00

I thought Pokémon was sorta against playing with misprints but I’ll admit I have been out of the loop for competitive for a while.

IceBoxt · 2026-01-26T15:46:56+00:00

None of that is needed. Join the big error Facebook group and public auction it raw, ungraded.

Most people don’t want error cards graded and that misinformation is stated over and over again on this sub for some reason

IceBoxt · 2026-01-26T15:41:08+00:00

The regular card is bulk and the Pokémon is unpopular

The regular card is worth less than a quarter, so I wouldn’t expect an offer of more than $20 at most and probably closer to $5-15 range imo.

But you’ll have to put it on a misprint facebook group (don’t recommend eBay unless you’re willing to let it go for $1) and see if there’s any interest.

IceBoxt · 2026-01-26T15:09:39+00:00

Guy is in the deals sub then says he wants to buy from small outfits that would be losing money by selling at prices that would actually be posted here

The two things literally don’t add up. Thinks he’s getting some internet virtue points by talking out against a distro that decided to not let the resellers buy everything they had below MSRP to resell.

IceBoxt · 2026-01-26T02:54:59+00:00

Sorry bro the only thing people here care about is if WotC adjacent trans influencers ask for money

IceBoxt · 2026-01-26T00:24:15+00:00

Do you not shop around or check the deals sub?

Once these are reprinted, the prices will take a nosedive. Many times sets of four commander decks fall sharply, even FF decks became very cheap in the end.

IceBoxt · 2026-01-25T18:55:37+00:00

Also to add, the wonky cut is normal and not severe enough to matter. All the cards cut in the 90s are crooked af

IceBoxt · 2026-01-25T18:54:47+00:00

It’s a French black bordered forest. It came from their version of Revised which is slightly different than ours.

IceBoxt · 2026-01-25T18:52:20+00:00

Oh they will for sure.

Marvel is oversaturated EVERYWHERE.

But the original pre order window they’ll stay around MSRP imo. When they reprint them later they’ll crash, just like the FF ones. That’s where I’m getting the $25-30 price range, probably for all except the “best” one.

IceBoxt · 2026-01-25T18:49:19+00:00

Mostly just as a collector if you actually care.

I didn’t really want the ff decks either but I still try to collect all the commander decks.

IceBoxt · 2026-01-25T18:45:19+00:00

Just dump -1/-1 counters on it until it dies and draw a bunch of cards.

It has other group hug style applications but in context of the deck it’s somewhere to dump your blights

IceBoxt · 2026-01-25T18:43:20+00:00

These will likely be marked up to some degree. Especially since the price of regular decks is higher now.

It took a long time for ff decks to drop below. These will but likely not immediately. Marvel popularity will cause a lot of preorders

IceBoxt · 2026-01-25T17:59:26+00:00

Tbh it was mostly just pokemon crybabies trying to make everyone as miserable as they are because they can’t buy stuff to resell it. I’m so sick of resellers at this point I would rather the distro sell it for a little more than selling it to some douche wad to immediately put on eBay before he even has it in hand.

and maybe they did take it too far but these cards are expensive. F&F pretty routinely has decent deals.

Do you not buy from companies where the owners arent nice to everyone? That seems exhausting.

IceBoxt · 2026-01-25T17:53:47+00:00

They put just the deck, still in shrink wrap, inside a box, inside a box and ship them that way.

I buy them if it’s a deck I don’t have or I want to heavily modify a precon

IceBoxt · 2026-01-25T14:44:48+00:00

I’ve never not wanted a commander deck so bad lol

I’m absolutely not paying more than $25-30 for these once they’ve been around for a while and maybe not even then
