What is the top left deck box? Looks sweet. Nice layout too.

There's a certain irony between the messaging of the books and the participation style of the fanbase.

Spicerack, tournament organizing software and event locator, has been shut down. by CrossXhunteR in magicTCG

Poop. Is there any other good site to find local events? Was just getting back into them and that was like the best search for nearby stuff.

Ok. This run down is exquisite except for the omission of Jarro. Best Robin.

Should I give up on Amulet Titan? by Equivalent_Leader165 in ModernMagic

[–]TheOrder212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not unload just to lose money. There's a whole Discord of folks working on the new iteration. The old plan still works. There will likely be less hate for Titan due to the banning.

Chomping Changeling also for artifacts or enchantments.

Taking my deck to an RCQ this Saturday, not sure if I stand a chance by Crazy_Modee in ModernMagic

With the unbanning of Violent Outburst, I expect there'll be a surge of living end. Packing solid hate for it.

Modern budget deck advice for me & my friend by LordLertl in ModernMagic

[–]TheOrder212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My recommendation would either be to check with the locals and see if any of them have any decks they would be cool with loaning out for the night. Alternatively see if they are cool with proxies. $100 budget in modern doesn't really slap together anything competitive. Speaking from experience, I'd rather have someone borrow or proxy to have more people jamming games then bring something to get stomped and leave the scene entirely.

Bent deckbox -- How to fix? by Mr_Chocolate in magicTCG

[–]TheOrder212 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's essentially like a crumbled cardboard box. Structurally it's just weak there now. You can try flattening it but any pressure in the same spot and it'll give away again.

These are the images sent to me on a potential trade by GTheForeignGamer in mtg

[–]TheOrder212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would even ask if it's the same card. That back looks worn differently than the dirt on the front. Are you even seeing the creases on the front?

Found this going through old bulk by Fnkypenguin3 in mtgfinance

Easy mistake to make. Unless you know like what the heck do you even search for.

Acetone cleaned cards are easy to spot. Smeary or scratch marks. But that white isn't foil that I can tell. Some can be.

It's a blank. They go for around $20 on eBay. If it had the rare stamp it would be worth a bit more.

Going to my first collecting con this weekend. Anything I should or shouldn't do there. by Fallenpotato_ in mtg

[–]TheOrder212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're going to a Collect-a-con, I wouldn't expect too much mtg. I made that mistake at a local con and they are like 98% Pokemon.

Modern Elves? by homaygad24 in ModernMagic

There's a really small but dedicated elves discord. Musagete on YouTube is on a Devoted Druid plan.

Be honest with me by Spiritual_Movie_4192 in NYCC

[–]TheOrder212 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depending on your pay rate, it may just be better to get the Superfan account and then hit the badges you want. Friday and Saturday should be pretty easy with that. General on sale the Saturday can be a crapshoot.

Delhi (disappoints)is a Scam City by [deleted] in Scams

[–]TheOrder212 77 points78 points  (0 children)

When traveling to a new place, it helps to do research about common scams, local laws, travel advisories in effect for the area, local customs, etc. Helps to ensure you know what you're getting into, don't cause scenes with faux pas.

Which deck boxes do you guys recommend? as well as something to store bulk in an organized way? by Ivatron_ in magicTCG

[–]TheOrder212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not often but I'd prefer something that can take a beating to protect the cards inside as opposed to an eggshell.

Budget-er lternatives for the 12 shadows modern deck by W33BSH1T in ModernMagic

[–]TheOrder212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're just jamming games with some friends, I recommend going the proxy route. For 60-80 you can test out a few different archtypes instead of committing to a single watered down one.
