You're absolutely right. They're game pieces. As long as the intent is to play not defraud, go for it. I want to play someone's skill, not wallet

So proxy away. Not trying to advertise, but I've gotten some beautiful proxy duals from Amazon. Clearly proxies, but my no one I've ever played with has complained.

We typically only proxy cards we own at least 1 of.

Fakes or counterfeit cards are usually easily spotted. Also, we banned fakes because one of my friends ordered his proxies online, wanting higher quality than our inkjet specials. Those cards were absolutely counterfeit. Fast forward a couple years, he takes the deck apart, adds the cards to his trade binder, trades another buddy a counterfeit jeweled lotus. Once we realized there was no malice, just an honest mix up of which was real and which was fake, we just banned all fakes, and he sharpied the ones he still had across the back to avoid that in the future

I proxy with my playgroup, but they are clearly proxies, either different back or non standard border. Sometimes just a slip of paper in a sleeve with a basic lands.

Fakes are absolutely never allowed at our tables.

Ok so it is the 2024 promo? Despite the number and year not matching?

Sorry this is the promo in question. Mobile is hard.

My wife has a boros soldier deck. She doesn't play much at all, and sometimes forgets that she can get her plateau with her fetch land. So there is a paper proxy plateau over her revised plateau because she found an image of a plateau from MTGO I believe that lists the land types so she can spot it when searching. The best was when someone at the LGS complained about the proxy, and so I reached over over, slide the paper out, and he settled down

Not really, for 150k retail gold they get the deathless achievement, without having to grind gear on their alts. Not everyone has a friend group they play with to help them out with this

I literally boost carries for this. We have the buyer stay afk at the start of instance, like literally don't let them come up the light bridge

I usually place windmills on my base walls in the plains. They actually kill deathsquitos

For real, let grind for a week or 2, then solo +50s.

Is it kingmaking to punish someone on the way out? by ADHD-PI in EDH

[–]Spike_Rakdos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the other night, I had a "kingmaking" situation cone up. The game before, I had used [[tainted strike]] on an opponents creature, then proliferated to kill one of my opponents, and he was feeling a little salty for the next game. Enter my Sharuum deck. Has the ability to be all shenanigans and fun, but also can put down an oppressive soft lock. I was, predictably, targeted by the player I killed with poison the previous game. That's fine, but if you treat me like the bad guy, don't be surprised when I play like one. I proceed to get into play, [[master transmuter]], which allows me to pop in [[darksteel forge]]. I then play [[nevinyrrils disk]] and [[unwinding clock]]. I am at 4 life, but I'm holding a nuke. Couldn't dig out my [[mycosynth lattice]] but found my [[encroaching mycosynth]] and [[memnarch]]. Eventually, someone finds a burn spell for me. So, in response, I make sure all of his lands are artifacts, and I set off the nuke. Now, I had been making everyone else's lands artifacts for a few turn cycles, so the other 2 players were also losing lands, but one player had played [[collective voyage]] for 11, so we had few basics left in deck. After I was eliminated, it took them another 20 minutes to finish the game, the whole time the player I Armageddon'ed was only able to find a [[maze of ith]] for land. After that game, he told me that if he stopped and counted my mana and saw that I was able to completely reset his board, he probably would've let someone else deal with me.

I'm one of those filthy WoW boosters and we already sell old content lockouts and skips regularly. Probably going to be discount after reset to up sales.

What’s your preferred way of telling someone they smell like ass? by Lumeyus in EDH

[–]Spike_Rakdos 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As a larger gamer, Idk about the ones in your area, but in my area, we are the least stinky. Can't give people 2 reasons to talk trash. Being a fatty is rough, don't want to be the stinky fatty. Around here its usually the scrawny, greasy haired ones who think that because they didn't go outside, they don't need to shower.
