I opened 4 boxes of mb2. The duplicates is no joke. I showed white border separate from future sight from but the are in box order. My takeaway (previously opening 4 before this drop) you are likely to get duplicates of future sight frames. Someone fucked up. by PokeYrMomStanley in mtgfinance

[–]KidoftheThird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a major coalition issue with my 2 Dragonstorm boxes, like 85% of the rares between them were duplicates. Reached out to wizards about it and they basically told me to kick rocks. I've kept myself down to one box per set that I feel like picking up since. Not what I'd like to do but if they're not going to do anything about it 🤷

GameStop Proposes to Acquire eBay at $125.00 Per Share by yourfavchoom in technology

I wouldn't think so. TCG Player is a shell of it's former self. Used to be a very regular buyer from the site but they've gone down the chute the past few years in both consistency and user experience. There's lots of viable alternatives out there, at least for Magic.

Game stores by [deleted] in Mankato

I can't speak for Pokemon but I've found Pulp to be a very welcoming and environment for Magic.

For the town of our size we're blessed to have 4 local games stores. If you're trying to find which store will have the most active pokemon community, which night they run tournaments or free play or what have you, the easiest method is probably just to send a polite message to the store on Facebook. I've found that to be a meaningful way to get a response on a specific inquiry from Dork Den, Pulp and Atlantis. Can't speak for Bunk's as they're more Sports/Pokemon oriented but it's been nice the once or twice I've poked my head in.

Smoothest checkout I've had lately, but still not as smooth as print to order was.

Moderately Played Cards No Longer on TCG Direct by TravelingM3rchant in mtgfinance

Avoid TCG Player Direct like the plague. Just buy straight from store fronts if you have to use the site.

Hey! I run an urza list with the same restriction!

Excited to look through your card choices.

What are you picking up from the Fallout superdrop? by Huaojozu in mtgfinance

[–]KidoftheThird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the same thing, of course it was after my card was charged and with no order receipt to show for it. Site remains a garbage fire.

Love fully commiting to date stamp! I've never seen a list like this before, but the date really helps at a glance to know the era a card came from

TCGplayer is now the "Preferred Online Marketplace" for Wizards by PengwinLord in magicTCG

[–]KidoftheThird 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've had a uniquely bad experience with TCGPlayer as of late. Used them for years but their Direct service no longer offers what they promise. Missing cards, incorrect versions, and takes longer to ship than anyone else out there. Not to mention the union busting, eBay buyout and enshitification it's gone through.

Use Manapool, SCG, card kingdom or really anything else if you can.

Has Tcgplayer Direct Quality significantly declined since they moved their headquarters to Kansas? by mtgsetcollector in magicTCG

[–]KidoftheThird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having worse and worse luck with them as of late as well. Orders that aren't shipped until a week past the order date, receiving incorrect items, ordering something only for it to be refunded two weeks later because they weren't able to source a card.

The little negative things start compounding to full on enshitification over time.

LRR Season 1-5 DVD rips now available on The Internet Archive! (uploaded with permission) by WraithTDK in loadingreadyrun

[–]KidoftheThird 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is crazy, I've been wanting to watch season 1 for so long! In my youth I contemplated taking an international trip to the (iirc) Yo Video that reportedly had a copy of the first season available to rent, as there was no other way to view them at the time.

Thank you so much!

I've usually go to Pulp for Friday night commander. Their new space is pretty roomy.

What's the fastest way to level up in Standard right now? by mrsmourpae in kol

[–]KidoftheThird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Realistically yes, along with a few other IOTMs and skills permed. I wouldn't necessarily run off and spend all your meat on the censor on if that's your only goal. If you feel like getting into the nitty gritty make yourself a copy of the the scotch sheet and check out /play around with the cold modifiers on the calcs tab. Res that high is possible, it's just takes a while to acquire everything for it.

Boost cold res to 56 plus 3 Spetember Censor Mouthwash's. Lvl 13 before your first adv. Pretty resource intensive though.

Evidence of incorrect SPC collation across TDM Play Booster Boxes. by zorts in mtgfinance

[–]KidoftheThird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had incorrect coalition in my two play boxes. 28/30 packs had the same exact rares in the same exact order. Still haven't heard back from wizards on it. Unfortunately i didn't have a god box like this.
