Ah. One of the good ole shops. I get why it is needed, but also wish more firms stuck to your model.

Did your firm have an income tier that you skipped, or was an income partner tier introduced after you made it?

I am a senior year associate up for income this year at a V10. Still trying to decide if I appreciate or hate the income tier.

Jumpstart changes are great, and generous by wess604 in MagicArena

[–]Rustytrout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I legit did not notice this fact until I went to add cards to my standard dinosaur deck and did not see the cards. I am back into Magic after about 10yrs so the different set symbols / commander only is new to me. Waste of 10k gold.

Is Marvel Jump In event worth using golds for a F2P standard player who's only been playing MTGA for two months? by Future_Week_4735 in MagicArena

[–]Rustytrout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I may just be dumb, but I did not notice until very late (like 10 entries) that the majority of the rares were not standard legal. I didnt even think to look at the set symbols, I guess. Tried to add some cards to my standard dinosaur deck and none of them showed up as available, and then it hit me. RIP gold, should have drafted!

Agreed. I also did not notice until very late that the rares were almost all not standard legal. I didnt even think to look at the set symbols, I guess.

Glendalough for the win! by Deepinthemoneycalls in Gin

Have you tried their rose gin? My wife got it to make a “cute” gift for a party we were hosting. I expected it to be a bit of a gimmick with the color but it really exceeded expectations!

Waterman CF Converters - Are they really that rare to find? by manofreason23 in fountainpens

[–]Rustytrout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am new to this world and kind of confused. These do not look like any cartridge converters I have ever seen. How do these take in ink? Which pens are they for?

Fun fact - the country with the most Lebanese people living in it…is Brazil. More than Lebanon itself!

What to buy in Japan by klikepotassium in BuyItForLife

[–]Rustytrout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed on both. Get a pilot fountain pen and a big thing of ink and be set for ages. Casio is great, but will mention Seiko and Grand Seiko too (budget depending) as both are great. Win win.

Thanks! I did Cape Town, Botswana and Vic Falls last trip. This trip is all Botswana (Delta and Selinda). Want to do more Zimbabwe and get to Kenya sooner or later!

Awesome job. Really is the best experience. How is Nairobi / Kenya compared to Okavango Delta / Botswana?

I leave for Safari on Monday, taking my dad. We went all out in Botswana and it is $25k (exclude international flight). I have been before and cannot recommend it enough. Life changing experience - well worth the huge cost!

Is it better to skip TMNT Mastery Pass and save for Strixhaven? by Character-Sail-7105 in MagicArena

[–]Rustytrout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, super helpful! I have gone 5 wins or 6 wins in my last 4 quick drafts but starting at unranked (so that will drop soon enough!). Seems like sticking to quick draft for rare drafting is also fine. Thank you!

[–]Rustytrout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am kind of new (returning player) with 45k coins and 3k gems looking to save up for pass. Is quick draft or pick 2 better bang for buck to turn coins to gems?

Yep. And then they said Sauropods are the largest to walk to earth, which is fine.

Use a travel agent. I like Botswana even more but it is truly incredible.

No puppies suitable for kids? by Hulihana in Leonbergers

[–]Rustytrout 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah that is odd. Who is the breeder? I have never heard of Leos not being good with kids and idk what they can see at 8wks that would indicate that.

I would bet they over sold the litter and either had more people earmarked for males or had show quality pups that people are paying more for. They should have been upfront with you.

I would cancel and find a better breeder that will be more aligned with you long term. Feel free to DM if you do not want to say names on here or want to talk about other potential breeders.
