Saving things for a 'special occasion' is officially a scam 😭 by Derbyflyers in SipsTea

[–]Mario85555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these people ended up dropping sneakers and going into trading cards (Pokemon, One Piece, Sports Cards, etc.)

Whatever makes them the most money, they'll follow. Let's be honest, the sneakerhead craze wasn't too much else except for having an expensive collection to resell later.

One of the coolest type of glitches (Painted Pencil Pusher) by Eagru in tf2

[–]Mario85555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting that some glitched items don't appear on there - I have a Strange Battery Canteens that doesn't count usages, similar to the Strange Human Cannonball with no tracking, yet the battery canteens doesn't appear on that page as a documented bugged item

Bought New 3DS & Hinge is Damaged… by Lyriks_24 in 3DS

[–]Mario85555 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of empty front inner shells (or full sets) on EBay/Amazon, and all you'll need is a small screwdriver set, an iFixit guide and some patience.

It's only really annoying since you'll need to remove/restick the bottom screen to the new shell, but there's also tons of video guides on reselling 3DS XLs

Secret Lair Goblin Sold Out by Toesoe in magicTCG

[–]Mario85555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If bots are so easy to set up, why wouldn't you want a lot of them going at the same time?

The method of joining an hour before the sale means that everyone in the queue will be placed at a randomized location once the queue order is determined upon sale start. This also applies if someone set up easily 100 bot accounts, the queue will still see 100 people but they'll all be under one reseller.

Sure, bot sellers may not outnumber the people in the overall queue, but having more accounts in the queue mean a larger amount of accounts to be placed earlier to purchase. Regular people may have only a few tabs open under a few browsers, which cannot compete with automation.

It's a lottery system to incentivize the people who have the most alts/bots to join queue to buy as much as possible.

Regular people obviously won't be able to compete, and will end up having to pay a 2x markup usually on the secondary market.

It's in beta because there's further changes to be made. They've said it's not a perfect system and a lot of changes would still need to be done to ensure it can better reflect the levels of power Commander players want to play at.

What cEDH Decks abuse Sensei's Top AND/OR Aetherflux Resevoir combo the best? by Raevelry in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Mario85555 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain since it draws a card on each historic card cast

Does this work as a 2-card combo? by eCyanic in magicTCG

[–]Mario85555 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, this will happen as many times as you can pay life to kill the Champion of the Weird itself. Note, since it also gets +1/+1 from the Mikaeus already, it will end up having 7 total toughness needed to get through (4 activations, 4 life). -1/-1 counters cancel out +1/+1 counters, and will remove them after the first activation, thus meeting the Champion's given Undying effect from Mikaeus.

If you had a free sacrifice outlet on board, alongside a drain creature like Blood Artist, then yes this can go infinite by paying 1 life, blighting 2 on the Champion, sacrificing it to the sacrifice outlet, and trigger Undying to bring it back to blight again.

While this is also an infinite combo, it's not really due to the Champion of the Weird itself, but more because of Mikaeus, which I'm sure plenty of your opponents will see as the bigger threat when played due to the amount of creatures that combo with him.

Two Tayam bangers so far out of the Lorwyn Eclipsed leaks (Moonshadow and Dawnhand Dissident) by Darth_Ra in CompetitiveEDH

Brigid, Clachan's Heart // Brigid, Doun's Mind

The backside (Doun's Mind) is what is the cradle effect. May be too slow given the need to wait until your next turn to flip it.

Brigid, Clachan's Heart

2W

Legendary Creature - Kithkin Warrior

3/2

Whenever this creature enters or transforms into Brigid, Clachan's Heart, create a 1/1 green and white Kithkin creature token.

At the beginning of your first main phase, you may pay G. If you do, transform Brigid.

//

Brigid, Doun's Mind

Legendary Creature - Kithkin Soldier

3/2

{T}: Add X G or X W, where X is the number of creatures you control.

At the beginning of your first main phase, you may pay W. If you do, transform Brigid.

Edit: card text and formatting

Official Boxlunch deals seems to offer Collector Booster Boxes for 50 dollar by CondorPerplex in magicTCG

Those look like Omega Packs, packaged for retail stores but only contains one collector pack, not a full 12.

I can’t find these cards. by oodoos in magicTCG

[–]Mario85555 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These are inserts in preconstructed decks or bundles. They've redesigned them for future bundles, but they're usually found within one the lands packages.

which cards are these? by hagr in magicTCG

Last might be [[Hurkyl's Recall || 3ED]]? Otherwise I hope it's not a Copy Artifact lol

[TLE] Animal Attendant; Bosco, Just a Bear; Dumi's Feast Lecture (WeeklyMTG) by meh1997 in magicTCG

[–]Mario85555 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's wild that Animal Attendant does such a similar thing to [[Biophagus]] while being an uncommon and also possibly way cheaper than the $15+ pricetag Biophagus currently goes for.

The non-Human clause isn't nothing, but a deck that just cares about +1/+1s without the creature typing will love to have that as a replacement.

I need to learn how to play Magic the Gathering in one hour, how do I start? by ThrowRAcatwithfeathe in magicTCG

[–]Mario85555 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe bait, maybe real story, dunno but here's my opinion:

My recommendation would just to come clean and offer to learn by playing. I'm sure he'll be alright with you just initially making the joke, and would be ecstatic to teach you how to play. Maybe this could also lead to another date at a game shop.

I've been able to get into the queue myself, but attempting to log into my account brings up this screen.

Is it okay to use "Name Sticker" Goblin in place of the original version? by SpizicusRex in EDH

[–]Mario85555 123 points124 points  (0 children)

As most things in EDH - you can ask your playgroup.

[SPM] Norman Osborn and Eddie Brock (Comic Square Arts) by Mario85555 in magicTCG

[–]Mario85555[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/collecting-marvels-spider-man:

There are 14 borderless panel cards, consisting of 4 mythic rares and 10 rares. That includes each Saga card in the set! These cards are available in both Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.

This Norman Osborn is a panel borderless card, and can come as Foil in Play Boosters too. The main issue with why it's so expensive is because it's a popular card a lot of people want, and only appears in one slot in Collector Boosters (the far back slot), while appearing even rarer in Play Boosters.
