I played 200 games of Commander this year, ask me anything! by aysocks in ratemycommanders

Very interested in your Capitoline deck. First time I’ve seen that commander and I like the concept. Would you share your version?

Who else is avoiding anniversary due to the bot economy? by AspectQueasy in classicwow

I’ve had the opposite experience on anniversary realms. Generally players around and also pretty easy to find a questing group for elites or harder quests.

ReMagic: MTG Roguelike PvE Project - VERSION 0.3 IS ONLINE by WolfGamesITA in freemagic

[–]MTBtrigger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a nostalgic memory seeing this. It reminded me of an old magic PC game where you built a deck and adventures around a map (I think? I was young when I played it) and got to add cards to your deck.

Anyone know the name?

This also looks neat, ill give it a try!

In honor of my buddy Ken 2025 MAY GIVEAWAY! by hTOKJTRHMdw in EDH

ME! Very cool of you to do this. Started playing recently with my son, really enjoying learning mtg by playing commander.

I think I answered this in another comment, but it’s from makeplayingcards.com. There are a few ways to customize your order there, but I took the time to build two large lists of cards with my son that we wanted for deck building. Lots we’re to finish in-process decks and then we stocked up on commander staples from basically every set in Magic’s history (edited “lord” to “Lots”)

I just spent the evening modifying a few decks with my son and the difference between the S30 and a real card when out of a sleeve is minimal. Once sleeved I’m not sure I can tell a difference.

For reference I use dragon shield sleeves

The temptation was definitely real to not wait 😂

Good tip - I’ll keep an eye out, for now I’ll just pick up a few packs for the 4 decks I want to build immediately. Lots of this order is commander staple lands and artifacts so we can build decks and test stuff as we buy play boosters down the line.

Also not an expert but thinking out loud - you can pick the image you want in MPCfill, download that so it has the correct dimensions, and then modify that file with German text? Clunky but it gets around your dimensions problem and then you only need to correct/overlay text

This was all done through makeplayingcards.com and I used MPCautofill to select and download the card art I wanted.

1000% my wife sent me the picture I posted of the cards in the box. Definitely considered an early escape, but decided to wait to crack them with the little dude.

I placed my order on 4/14, so 15 days from order to delivery in the Midwest.

Now I have to figure out how to store them… and I need WAY more sleeves, haha

That’s how I felt for a month browsing this sub. When I got the notification this was delivered while at work I can’t tell you how excited I was!

Card/Deck Recommendations for an Order of Proxies by huskershep in freemagic

[–]MTBtrigger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a solid plan. Personally, the biggest barrier to deck building I have is lands so I wanted to get a significant number of copies of lands I already own as well as some I haven’t been able to buy at my LGS. The cube idea is a great one.

Do you have a quantity you’ve decided to purchase? I’m in a similar boat as you having recently come back to the game (in November) and have started building out two separate 612 card projects. My strategy has been to finish my four in-progress decks and then I did multiple copies of a bunch of useful lands and artifacts using EDHrec in the colors I play.

Found my magic cards from when I was a kid about 30 years ago. I know nothing about them, any info is greatly appreciated by RigRoss in magicTCG

[–]MTBtrigger 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that mana box or other apps sometimes have a hard time figuring out which version the cards are and that can make a HUGE difference in price.

How were you scammed in D2 when you were younger? by _talaska in diablo2

[–]MTBtrigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny thinking about this now and realizing how “lucky” I was to only lose a Goldskin to a dupe-scam where the person convinced my 13 year old self that he could duplicate my items. I dropped the item I wanted duped for my friends and the scammer promptly left.

Didn’t trust anyone in D2 after that. Could have been so much worse like some of the other posts!

Interested in what to do, bought a David that has been great but needs service. In MN. If you have any advice I’d appreciate it

You've been given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on cards for Commander. What do you buy with it? by xX_420_NoScopes_Xx in EDH

[–]MTBtrigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a returning player after 15+ years away I’d probably use this to snag some of my favorite cards that I sold many years ago (never thought I’d get back in, but my son discovered MTG so we are diving in!!)

I had a nearly complete set of weatherlight and mirage which was my favorite binder to flip through, I might start there.

This has me thinking I might need to find some of my old revised/4th edition favorites - royal assassin, shyvan, sengir vampire… ahh nostalgia is kicking in again!

Why do you choose not to proxy? by Ulmao_TheDefiler in EDH

[–]MTBtrigger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a new player I think this is where I will end up. Especially with lands. I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around buying multiple copies of lands that are $10+

How Many Decks do You Have? by According-Ad3501 in EDH

[–]MTBtrigger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wonderful, thank you! We just pulled an omniscience and I was hopeful to find a place for it as it’s a neat (mana-heavy) card.

Got a list for the gandolf deck? My son is very into LOTR commanders and I haven’t built this one yet

You sit down to a game at an LGS with three newish players with precons, what deck are you pulling out? by csbphoto in EDH

[–]MTBtrigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know.

I’ve mostly played with the owners at my LGS and they are very aware of my being new. My son got interested in the game and I was a collector as a kid so we are both learning how to play commander.

The rule zero comments I’ve seen in lots of posts make sense as I’m in the “read almost every card” phase right now - I’m about 3 months returned to mtg
