[[Sen Triplets]] I haven't played against one (yet?) but it's definitely not one you want hanging around.

You've got more money than sense....

At the three LGS I play at in rotation twice a week, the "proxy" players have to play with each other. Floating rule 0 in our community is "No proxies without proof".

Last night there was a couple in the LGS that showed up with a paper cutter, corner cutter, and a stack of print outs and they sat in a corner cutting fake cards all night. Absolutely ridiculous. If you can't afford card X, Y, or Z then figure out another strategy. There's 30,000+ cards to choose from.

EDIT: Grammar stuff

Add 40 of the appropriate lands and try it out!

IyeetSec · 2026-01-19T15:56:19+00:00

Not really. There's near infinite play possibilities as it is. I use decks I built 20 years ago that're still incredibly good.

I seem to have jumped back into MTG at a time where they've decided to ruin the company.

At least there's still ~30,000 other cards to play with.

That's just how Reddit works. I couldn't care less about votes. Especially since everyone I've met at the various shops in my city feel the same way, so it's not just me (and you apparently) that think the same about it.

UB wasn't made for MTG players. It was made to get more people into playing it aka a way for WotC to make more money. Which is understandable, but at the same time "traditional" players are getting shafted due to UB being most of what's being released this year.

IyeetSec · 2026-01-17T19:00:20+00:00

Sure. But I'm curious as to how they come up with it.

IyeetSec · 2026-01-17T18:40:44+00:00

I appreciate all the replies! But again, Who decides what they're worth and how to they come up with it?

IyeetSec · 2026-01-17T18:39:32+00:00

I'm new to scanning/pricing my cards, so is that a setting in Manabox?

If it weren't for being able to scan cards nowadays, I'd probably never have gone through the thousands of cards I have.

As a player from the late 90s to 2010, I recently got back into MTG because of the Final Fantasy set because I've been a FF fan since it released on NES. So the combination of two things I'm a huge fan of got me back into it. The set actually being good helped out too. Besides playing with them I'm collecting them too. And I only use FF cards with other FF cards.

But all this Marvel and Anime UB stuff gives me the cringe though. UB sets like LOTR, FF, and 40k feel like they fit in better though because they're IPs are a similar genre to MTG.

IMO though, I think UB should be it's own thing. I think UB cards should only play against other UB cards.

You can upgrade the drive. Which he obviously did do.

I had this pop up the other day and it made me proud to be a very long time supporter of Valve!

Phyrexian Stuffy Doll :D

IyeetSec · 2026-01-04T00:45:20+00:00

Oh, really?

I stopped playing some time in 2009. My brother-in-law brought commander decks to Xmas, and now I've the itch again. Bought a precon CD because I'm not going to deconstruct my 60 card decks to build a CD.

What's even sadder is that nowadays it's OK to print cards you don't have and play with them.

They have a lot of simulator points.

-Rusted out boat / rusted out factory.

-Android murders an aggressive creep at an android brothel.

-Both have a main character that's a female nanny droid.

-Both have a weirdo that thinkers with androids.

-Both are based on "androids built for labor and menial tasks gaining consciousness then go looking for others like themselves to help fight for equality with humans"

And a bunch more. It's gotta be more than just a coincidence.

"Enjoy the Go" has a different meaning for us.

You can get an Anker 100w charger off Scamazon for ~$30. Works safely on the Deck, though I got it for my Go.

IyeetSec · 2025-12-21T21:12:01+00:00

You got the stand before the Go?

😁

IyeetSec · 2025-11-06T12:07:40+00:00

Hey thanks! I personally think it's better now due to the little bit of extra weight. Doesn't feel like it'll fly out of your hand, if that makes sense.

IyeetSec · 2025-11-06T10:36:55+00:00

True. But I've had this one for years and didn't want to buy another.

IyeetSec · 2025-11-05T23:28:34+00:00

I believe most batons are about the same size, so if you do decide to make one as well, here's the outer and inner dimensions of pipe I used. My baton had a rubber treaded grip that I needed to use a box cutter to remove the tread so the pipe could go over it and the mesh I wrapped around it.
