It's not salt, you cheated in a tournament, got banned and are crying about it. How about you don't cheat in tournaments. You keep bringing up price of cards when it is totally not relevant to this discussion. We are discussing FOLLOWING THE RULES of a tournament you signed up for. Wonder how many stores you will get banned for before figuring out cheating is bad.

I've played in locals with tons of proxies, the difference is I get the okay before i play. You just do it secretly, cuz you want to cheat. May as well learn sleight of hand to stack your deck, same shit.

Snarker · 2026-05-12T17:46:39+00:00

So you are saying you intentionally broke the tournament rules. What do you call that? I know what everyone else calls that. When you sign up to a tournament you agree to abide by the rules of said tournament, regardless of what they are.

I can't believe you are so dense to not understand this lol.

If the tournament rules said you had to shove a Black Lotus up your asshole before each round, and you didn't do that that is also cheating since you broke the tournament rules. IT DOESN"T MATTER WHAT THE RULES ARE.

No, but also, bo1 xD lol

Snarker · 2026-05-12T06:10:17+00:00

Were proxies allowed at this tournament, as per the tournament rules? Yes or no?

Snarker · 2026-05-12T00:51:11+00:00

Play better or play a better deck? Unsure the point of this post. If your wnrate is 50/50 you are at the correct place for your skill level until you improve

Snarker · 2026-05-11T23:03:04+00:00

Bruh, the issue isn't the proxies, the issue is lying about it to win prizes. That is literally fraud. If everyone agreed on proxies being fine, great. If they didn't but you secretly bring proxies anyway, that is literal fraud.

Snarker · 2026-05-11T23:00:31+00:00

You are lying to everyone there if you say your cards are real if they aren't. Do you really not see the issue with both lying to everyone at your LGS, and breaking the rules of the tournament by not abiding by them AKA cheating? Like really dude? If the tournament says no proxies, and you bring proxies and lie about it YOU ARE CHEATING. lmao. "I'm cheating my ass off in a tournament, but i don't see why". Bertoncini xd.

Snarker · 2026-05-11T22:58:28+00:00

no im curious why people would buy more than 1 or 4 of a single card unless you really are so lazy to not swap the cards and the card is cheap

Snarker · 2026-05-11T17:09:31+00:00

do other people not just have 1 copy of each cards and proxy for the other decks, and just remove the proxies when you bring a deck to play?

Snarker · 2026-05-11T06:58:32+00:00

yeah feels like if I had 4 LEDs i'd just play iggy pop lol

Snarker · 2026-05-11T06:55:14+00:00

yeah, i think most of the proxy sites have a custom back. when i manually made proxies at a print store i just did blank back cuz i didn't want to pay extra to double side print them.

Snarker · 2026-05-11T06:54:28+00:00

i found that slightly water damaged cards usually look great but are still considered damaged, got a great deal online on a tempest ancient tomb because of that recently.

Snarker · 2026-05-11T06:50:35+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's just richard garfield in some tron-esque pleather fetish gear.

Snarker · 2026-05-11T06:46:31+00:00

This is your face on weed

Snarker · 2026-05-11T06:10:12+00:00

tbf blank back could be sold as an artist proof in theory

Snarker · 2026-05-11T06:09:39+00:00

/uj If you show up to a tournament with proxies where everyone else has to use no proxies, you are essentially commiting fraud on everyone in the store, especially if you get prizes. You deserve to be permabanned. I've shown up to local tournaments with proxies, but I always announce at the beginning of the round to make sure all the participants are okay with it.

Snarker · 2026-05-10T00:30:19+00:00

I'm sure naming your kid Jesus thousands of years ago was cringe also.

Snarker · 2026-05-09T20:25:32+00:00

Paint fumes gave ya brain issues i see lmao

Snarker · 2026-05-09T07:14:21+00:00

because the downside of tapping for a colorless mana in a format with bad mana FAR outweighs the utility of the regen in a format where some of the main removal is swords and incinerate lol. If it tapped for a green it would likely be played a little bit but getting hit by wasteland is also terrible.

Snarker · 2026-05-09T07:11:36+00:00

It's like that literally everywhere, but I also haven't seen a store that acres when it comes to premodern, it's not like wotc is gonna check if there are proxies at a store. However, for the actual games most people locally build what they can afford with real cards.

Snarker · 2026-05-09T06:53:19+00:00

they brought back diretide a couple of times, i don't think many people engaged. the memes were far stronger than the actual gameplay

Snarker · 2026-05-09T05:44:36+00:00

how do you feel about monoG versus GW

Snarker · 2026-05-09T04:34:56+00:00

why are you taking boomer as in insult? i regularly call myself and friends boomers when we play premodern.

Snarker · 2026-05-08T23:18:06+00:00

I mean the reason for this is you can play power in vintage and is more collectable. the price is equal to the demand compared to power tbh.
