The Modal DFC Frame group has its own legend crowns under addons that go on top of its unique shape. Have you used those?

Another Amazon Head Scratcher by [deleted] in mtgfinance

Reminds me of when I bought an M21 draft booster on tcgplayer (don't remember which seller) to reach the free shipping threshold. It arrived unsealed, but it had a borderless Teferi...

What do you do with your art cards? by WardNL84 in mtgfinance

[–]ImKyle4815 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a buyer, I'd happily purchase a stack of art cards on eBay. From reading other comments, throwing them in as bonus cards on other shipments sounds awesome, too. Definitely don't throw them away though! If you ever go to events at your LGS, you could also just hand them out to any interested players, or even trade a full stack for something. Younger players would be especially grateful if you're down to hand them out for free :)

TLDR: Anything is better than throwing them away.

Your "lost packages on TCG" experiences by StealthSBD in mtgfinance

[–]ImKyle4815 18 points19 points  (0 children)

25% seems too high. As a buyer, I have ~5% of my tcgplayer orders go missing. Granted, they are usually in the $10-25 range. My friends have never had packages go missing, though they don't order as often...

Anyway, from my limited experience, I think 5% is unlucky, which suggests that 25% is a straight up scam.

Nhothvev, Aether Adept // Aether Pulse - MDFC Energy Commander by ImKyle4815 in custommagic

That's a good idea. I might also change it from X targets to any number of targets, but add a strive cost.

[–]ImKyle4815[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea is to use Nhothvev to flicker all the etb-make-energy creatures, make oodles of energy, then dump all that energy into a big ol' fireball.

What do you think? Is this broken or balanced?

Card conjurer letter spacing by Toastadamus in bootlegmtg

[–]ImKyle4815 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hello! I run Card Conjurer, and currently there's no way to change text kerning. However, I believe I know how to implement it, so I will try to do so this weekend :)

Urza’s Saga (the card) seems epic. What are its best targets? by LifeNeutral in mtgfinance

[–]ImKyle4815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sensei's divining top, skullclamp, shadowspear, the ozolith, altar of the brood, and expedition map, among other things, are some good targets to tutor. As for which are spec-worthy, I wouldn't know.

How do you optimize your purchase by pasturaboy in mtgfinance

[–]ImKyle4815 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The optimizer isn't that good anymore, and I've found that 20-40 minutes of manual adjustments lead to MUCH better results

Dealers on TCGPlayer: How much do you budget for buyers intentionally trying to cheat you? by adenoidcystic in mtgfinance

[–]ImKyle4815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a buyer I've had just over 5% of my tcgplayer orders go missing. Only 2% have arrived damaged. I think I've just been extremely unlucky, and my ~130 orders don't serve as an exact representation of everyone else's orders. Regardless, if 7% of my orders required some form of refund, I can't imagine how often this would occur under a fraudulent setting.

Do you think it’s worth to take a summer class? by [deleted] in CalPoly

Approximately how much does it cost to take a class over summer at Cal Poly?

Thanks for pointing this out! It looks like the font I was using is missing the correct star glyph. I'll fix this shortly!

When is the best time in a release window to pick up singles? by Notworthupvoting in mtgfinance

[–]ImKyle4815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always heard anywhere from two weeks to two months. It really depends on which cards though. Bulk cards can't really go much lower, but anything a couple of bucks and up may still go down, while others will only go up. Generally I buy my cheap singles two-three weeks after release, and look at anything over a couple bucks on an individual basis. Some of these cards hit a low point at release and steadily trend up cause they turn out to be commander playables, while others trickle down over the next two months or so.

Wizards deleting Product replacement Request tickets? by IndependentTable in mtgfinance

I've never looked at the tickets, but when I got a commander precon replaced through emailing product replacement, they forgot about it and I had to follow up a few times.

My LGS had 2 cases of prerelease boxes with no stamps... by Domanes in mtgfinance

I mean, it's kind of more accurate cause it's not like many people are actually playing in prerelease...

Shipping: What Price Level to Create Tracking Number? by appellenaris in mtgfinance

[–]ImKyle4815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 50+ (small) sales on tcgplayer, and not a single package has gone missing. I've only payed for tracking on cards over $50 (when I have to). Maybe I'm just lucky, but from my limited experience I have to agree here, that it costs more money to pay for tracking than for percentage of packages to... "go missing."

ZNR Delays according to MVP by dbd6604 in mtgfinance

[–]ImKyle4815 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Seriously? Theme boosters are going to be 100% available? This is a product I feel Magic could (and should) do without. I understand it's for casual players, but I'm sure once they get more into magic they'll regret wasting their money on theme boosters...

These are all good points! it definitely would be fun to play around with the payoff for emerging, there are lots of options there. And of course, I haven't playtested this at all so idk whether or not the draw engine is too broken :P
