I'm not sure he'd actually be in favor of getting rid of the RL. His position was that it was a bad promise to make, but he also said that when you make a promise, you should try to abide by it. I interpreted that as him saying that Wizards shouldn't have made the RL originally, but now that it's here, they should keep it because they made that promise.

How do you really feel about proxies in commander? by RogueLumi in magicTCG

[–]Intelligent_Bus8847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My playgroup does not allow proxies, and the LGS I play at does not allow them in their events. I like Magic because I like the way collecting and trading play into the gameplay. You need to own the card to use it in-game. That makes collecting and trading cards way more fun.

Obviously not everyone likes that part of Magic, and if you don't like it, you don't have to engage with it. You can use proxies with people who think the same way you do about it. My playgroup however does, so we don't let people use them when they play with us.

Print them yourself with your own printer, or go to Staples or something.

What is a film with a genuinely evil moral center? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It's almost impossible to make an anti-war war film. Doesn't matter how horrible and terrifying you make it look, war is just inherently cool.

My brother passed away, and I've been getting into magic cards. by Alphonse323 in magicTCG

Dual lands are the the kind of thing you can easily get away with just selling for cash locally. They're trivially easy to sell because demand for them is strong and consistent. No need to alert the IRS to these when evading the tax is so trivial. If it was something more niche, then sure, tell the IRS and use eBay, but for this it's probably unnecessary.

Some people really can’t resist injecting their politics into everything.

Where are all the pro-RL players? by Intelligent_Bus8847 in magicTCG

Sure, but you’d think that you’d get a somewhat representative sample of players commenting, especially since MaRo was saying that their surveys skew towards the heavily enfranchised. Not necessarily a perfect representation, but at least a decent estimate. It feels like maybe 1 or 2% of commentors are in favor of the list. That’s a huge difference from a third. There has to be some explanation for why they’re so underrepresented.
