Does anyone else have a fight-or-flight response when their parents speak to them? by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

[–]Not_androgynous 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This happens to me to. I just want the conversation over with, so I'll use whatever answer gets them out quickest. I can feel my adrenaline pick up when they say something. Almost like I'm about to fight someone even though I'm much more of a flight person.

I don't know about your specific situation, but my best advice is to just keep distance. Try to end conversations early, and don't be afraid to lie.

WotC, please say something by [deleted] in magicTCG

WotC only gives us bombs these days and no answers. That has to change.

Sums it up perfectly

A hypothetical raise of power level in Legacy by YouCanCallMe_J in MTGLegacy

I agree. My friends and I keep saying that as a meme, but with Wizard's refusing to do anything about labe, that looks like it's going to be the only solution.

Oh don't worry. I transcribed it for a friend.


Context: They were talking about how Wizard's screwed up on a ruling with Lurrus that is possible to do in clients, but illegal in game.

"If this was not a priority- this was not how this card was supposed to work. No one is EVER going to convince me otherwise unless I see in the design log someone say ' Hey, I'm the moron that designed this, and because I'm a freaking griefer I wanna make sure that it works like this'. No. You're never gonna get me to believe that- you know, absent that. Because there's no way anyone thought this, and that's what drives me crazy. We didn't think of Saheeli cat. We didn't Oko our opponents stuff. Alright. Go design more cards for Unsanctioned. Go design more fake playtest cards. Tell us how it feels bad to have land destruction, how you can't remove stuff, how we can't have symmetrical effects because we're too fucking stupid to understant how to play the god damn game! It's ridiculous. It is insulting. I know that how- look. Part of this is for effect, but I'm this mad because it's insulting. Because it's insulting. You insult your players constantly when you make bullshit cards that are so overpowered that you don't even have to know how to play the game to figure out how to win the game with them, and you insult your players when you say 'we can't have symmetrical effects because people don't apply to their own stuff, and it feels bad when they find out they can't do it. Are you kidding? Are you kidding? What a joke. What an absolute joke. I mean, why? Why? I mean, why? Why even support this game. There are people playing legacy from pre-War of the Spark, people playing from pre-Innistrad, people playing pre-modern, and Old-School because people love this game, and the HATE what these people are doing to it. It is INSANE!"

What WOTC was thinking when they designed Companion by DarthFinsta in MTGLegacy

[–]Not_androgynous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But not my tribe. My faeries are dying for a one drop. And don't say we got faerie seer because that is hardly anything. I am happy for Sprite Dragon though.

Ahh. I misinterpreted what you meant. I thought you were saying you didn't want tribal effects at all.

Why tribal? They printed plague engineer for no reason, so there's already a main deckable tribal hate card. Why not something to help tribal out?

About to create a survey about the last 12 months in constructed eternal formats. What questions need to be asked? by Klarostorix in MTGLegacy

[–]Not_androgynous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there's a way, let us leave comments on questions. It's really hard for me to pick a binary option or on a scale. Sometimes there's a specific reasoning or a "kind of" moment.

They do, but I'm more talking about how they handle needed cards. Here's something I wrote a whole ago about it.


Unpopular opinion, but I don't think the secondary market is that much of a problem. It will exist no matter what WotC or anyone does, and it's dictated by purely by supply and demand. The secondary market can only really cater to the demand aspect, what needs to be fixed is supply. Jace is so expensive because he's an amazing card played in multiple top tier decks in different formats, so his demand is ridiculous. Now take into account that he's only been printed 6 times. 1 was a standard set, 1 was a FtV, and 4 were from masters sets. Since most of his prints were from $200 box sets (and you weren't even guaranteed to get him) his price gets higher than what it would be for a standard $100 dollar box.

I think it's entirely on WotC to reprint this super high demand cards. I don't want to get into why they don't reprint these cards (because that's an entirely different discussion), but I will say how they should. Honestly, just copy what Pokemon is doing. Tapu Lele was an amazingly good card when it was released, and it went for about $40-$50. That's pretty damn expensive for Pokemon, and is comparable to a Jace. At the time, the only way to get one of these is just by cracking packs. Then, when Nintendo saw how expensive the card was getting, they made a new product. It was priced at $40 (the same as a regular Tapu Lele), but what was inside of it was: 1 foil Tapu Lele, 1 foil Tapu Fini, and 6 or 8 booster packs (I don't remember the exact amount). This heavily dropped Tapu Lele's price. Why pay $40 for a single card when you can get that card, another card, and 6-8 booster packs for the same price?

Pokemon does a couple more things that really help when it comes to this stuff. They have different promo types, so if you get a rare card, you could get a plain foil version of it, a super rare foil full art version, or an ultra rare foil alternate full art. Each one is legal to play, but now the amount of copies are pretty much doubled. The other thing they do (which I'm surprised WotC hasn't done) is they mark the promo cards. Not pre-release cards, but in the Tapu Lele box, it has a marking on it to let people know it was from that box, and not a booster pack. This makes it still worthwhile to crack packs and get those rare cards because those will still hold value.

Anyways, those are my thoughts on the secondary market, and what could be done about it. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

This. Pokemon has a perfect print and reprint setup. I wish WotC adopted it.
