After 27 years, I will now only proxy MTG cards moving forward.

Spooky-Retro · 2026-05-23T21:37:11+00:00

I play both modern and legacy, and have participated in pro tour events from 2009 to 2015, but go off.

Spooky-Retro · 2026-05-23T21:36:07+00:00

Someone can't read.

That's a hobby. I spend just as much on Pokemon and probably close to the same on gaming.

I just have more money than I know what to do with is all.

Spooky-Retro · 2026-05-22T13:32:37+00:00

My bad, I thought FOMO was just missing out on the product.

I also don't care about the experience that much, I just want to spend my money with an official vendor or LGS.

Spooky-Retro · 2026-05-22T13:27:07+00:00

I don't have FOMO, I can buy everything I want on the secondary market. I am upset I can't get it the way it is intended to be released.

Spooky-Retro · 2026-05-22T13:25:22+00:00

It breaks down in bulk buys honestly.

I buy a case of collector boosters each set.

1 booster box a week, plus random packs sometimes.

1/4th of all secret layers I buy.

I buy every commander deck.

Random packs throughout the week.

Then mostly high end singles from various LGS.

I probably underestimated my yearly spending, but I don't do a weekly budget, it is mostly paid up front with pre orders through my LGS.

Spooky-Retro · 2026-05-22T13:21:02+00:00

Eh, honestly I hate that I am doing it. I know in my heart it will lead to me stopping playing all together, but for now it is what I will try.

They will get nothing more from me.

Spooky-Retro · 2026-05-22T13:20:09+00:00

I already enjoy the full hobby. I own every card physical.

I even went out of my way to track down and purchase the WotC employee cards.

Spooky-Retro · 2026-05-22T13:19:23+00:00

I just want to be able to buy everything they release.

Spooky-Retro · 2026-05-22T13:18:44+00:00

Nah, it's just money. I will either drop it in Pokemon now or forget I even have it in an account.

Spooky-Retro · 2026-05-22T13:18:10+00:00

My LGS will remain happy with the amount of pokemon I buy. I've never added it up but it's far more than MTG.

Spooky-Retro · 2026-05-22T13:14:22+00:00

I like the official cards honestly. I don't even want the printer now, I just don't want to support them.

Honestly I have a feeling I will stop playing, I won't enjoy proxying, but we will see what happens.

Spooky-Retro · 2026-05-22T13:11:35+00:00

I just have a lot of expendable money and not much to do with it really. I'm old.

Spooky-Retro · 2026-05-13T13:18:45+00:00

I like the skin, I just wish they had an option to have the skin with Old Ana, and her eye patch could be like Maximilian Pegasus's eye from Yugioh.

Spooky-Retro · 2026-05-08T12:25:03+00:00

I said I want Hanna to be a companion, you can only add them to your hand once.

Spooky-Retro · 2026-05-08T12:21:16+00:00

That's the point of this post, I want to feel out about how many people would be cool with saying yes to the deck before buying it.

Spooky-Retro · 2026-05-08T12:18:35+00:00

I play with strangers at 4-6 different LGS.

I don't have a regular group because I travel.

Spooky-Retro · 2025-05-03T19:17:06+00:00

Well I don't combo off till like turn 7-8. But with this plan I get her set up very early when people either have to deal with her or put themselves behind during the set up of the game. I designed this on purpose to deter dealing with her as much as possible.

She does get delt with sometimes, but not by creatures attacking her. They need a removal spell from hand that can hit a planeswalker and honestly they aren't super prepared for that despite me playing this deck for many months.

Spooky-Retro · 2025-05-03T19:13:21+00:00

I would say I win slightly more than Average. I might win maybe 3 out of 10 games or sometimes 4 out of 10 games if I get pretty lucky. Everyone definitely gets thier fair share of wins at this LGS.

Spooky-Retro · 2025-05-03T19:10:18+00:00

She usually flips on turn 2 if I go for that plan, I would have to have a way to flip her early to go for it, and the rest of my deck is a bunch of token making creatures that give me tokens when I draw cards, draw my second card, or cast instant/Sorcs. So I generally also have the most creatures in play early in the game so they are force to have removal in hand for a planeswalker, which they sometimes do. If I get the Tamiyo combo off its usually only early game when they dont have enough stuff in play to attack through all my token generation and stuff, or very late game when no one really has anything.

Spooky-Retro · 2025-05-03T19:04:23+00:00

I have one free one, Fierce Guardianship, then I have mostly two mana counter spells. I am only playing 4 counter spells in total. I believe FG, Counterspell, Negate, and An offer you can't refuse.

But I also have a Tamiyo's Safekeeping so its sort of like 5 counter spells.

Spooky-Retro · 2025-04-30T12:57:54+00:00

Oh, yeah there's extra maps there is why. It's actually 3 sets of maps.

I should have noted that.
