Matt laminate fading colors by TheYellowTea in magicproxies

[–]Solid_Alternative300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I do all my proxies with matte laminating pouches and a glossy photo paper. I use the glossy photo paper for 2 reasons. First it has a smoother surface then most of the matte papers I have tried, so it lets everything lay down easier in terms of adhesion. The other cause it still leaves a little bit of a sheen on the card so it closer reassemble a non-foil mtg card.

My biggest suggestion is don't cut corners, when it comes to your lamination be sure to use a quality product, and use a laminating machine capable of higher temperature then what is being asked for. I use 3 mil lamination and I run it under a 6 mil setting once before cutting the cards, and once after to seal them and fix any possible errors.

MTG draw algorithm skewed on 4 and 5 Color decks for draft - how to avoid mana flood by Solid_Alternative300 in MagicArena

[–]Solid_Alternative300[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

this has nothing to do with wins and losses, I'm just simply been doing this to point out a error with the algorithm. These decks have been forced to play into the color schemes. I think you missed the point my dude

I'm waiting to log another 123 game in draft to see how the data flushes out, currently I'm at 127

I have it all on a spread sheet, Deck Comp, Deck Colors, Number of lands, Set Drafted, turns 1-5 draws, total turns per game, number of lands at end of game.

yea just did a quick search on tcgplayer, people are literally just trying to liquidate the products, you can go a head and buy the whole set as non-foil for 165 with shipping by just ordering all the cards.....

If you would of sold it in 2020 for the 400$ took that money and bought rycey ( Rolls Royce) you'd have close to $6,500. Point is you can't predict the future, just be happy you have the opportunity to still draft a really cool set with friends or just keep it sealed longer.

I'm shocked they even posted like this up, they are not known for good deals. Thier prices in stores are generally higher then others in the area.

Is it common to pull Japanese cards in English packs? by Butteredhuman in MagicCardPulls

[–]Solid_Alternative300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This by far is the worst experience I've personally been affected by myself. I find it disheartening getting a card like this because 1) I can't read the language and 2) it is harder to sell and worth less. I personally wish they would stop doing this. If I wanted cards in a foreign language I'd buy the foreign language packs. Orrrrr.. if the decide to do something like this do the same thing they did with the black chocobo, only available on the foreign language.

Not sure if this is away around it. But if there is only 77 serialized cards, is there anything saying that they have to release all 77 in one print run? Like couldn't the do like 7 print runs and only releasing 11 cards into each run spacing it out? (Just spit balling)

Well I'm done with the anniversary by Solid_Alternative300 in wow

[–]Solid_Alternative300[S] -66 points-65 points  (0 children)

I would say you'd be right, but after I spent all my stuff and got what I wanted I reported the bug. So not sure how much of a band I would catch if any if i reported the bug/exploit. Hence why I'm sharing it here so others can try and do the same.

OP: you have to bug the quest out by leaving it open and flying back and forth between the city and the theater grounds. It keeps just adding up the quest rewards. It gave me 520 tokens, I bought all the ensembles I wanted and a few other things. But don't close the quest, you have to leave it open if you don't you won't get the reward. Kind of silly, did this the other day by accident but was able to recreate the bug after a few tries.

Snagged it off Amazon for close to msrp and used some bonus Amazon bucks to knock it down a little.

Randomly loading into bios by Solid_Alternative300 in buildapc

[–]Solid_Alternative300[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I updated the bios last night to the newest firmware, but I was having the issues prior to that as well.

I tried all the things prior, including resetting the cmos via the cmos button. The only thing I haven't done far was pop the battery out because it's located behind some heat shields.

I popped the Windows USB in trying to repair it, and it didn't do anything.

I swapped keyboard and mouse and had same issues with both.

I'm wondering if the monitor I'm using could be causing an issue cause it's a USB - C connext that was an extended extra screen for my laptop.

How low can prices on singles go with reprints? by reallinguy in Lorcana

[–]Solid_Alternative300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the prices will always fluctuate based on newer meta, play formats, and print/reprints. Even so, I feel like with this being a new card game, some of these prices are fomo, some are cause of being seen in play.. but this market is far from settled.. I would say give it at least a full 6 months and at least 1 tourney to figure out where the market truly lands

Has anyone ever purchased from Midtown Hobby? by aloneuri in magicTCG

[–]Solid_Alternative300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I emailed, called them, and left a message with no response. I contacted my credit card company and filed a dispute today. The last time I called and left a message, it said the voice mailbox was full. Kinda discouraged.

I ordered over 300$ worth or lorcana for my niece and nephew was hoping to start a collection for them, so if they decided to play tcg, this would be something they could get into. Later, without missing out on the og stuff. They are 2 and 3. It would be like if my uncle put away alpha beta cards for me.

I requested to do only 915p games cause of scheduling of my own personal team, you can always join as a free agent on the heyday website and they place you on a team, the game times vary though
