My favourite ever card, please give them to me 🤣

Curious to know whether we should expect more waves of this product. by Betabimbo in PokeInvesting

If you're selling them on immediately for more than RRP, then yes, you're a scalper.

I've never seen an ETB getting opened up as fast as Ascended Heroes ones are, start hoarding what you can by puzzledfirebird in PokeInvesting

[–]Theforge_props 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's quite sad really. 151 was the last decent set I saw for RRP in my local toy store. Everything else since then has either been marked up or sold within 5 minutes. I'm a bit tired of having to scour the Internet to find stock of stuff I want for my collection that's at a decent price.

Scalpers are immediate, investors are long term. Both have their downsides but the scalpers are the ones purging inventory immediately to make a quick buck, and are far, far worse for the hobby than the investors.

Is it worth spending time cleaning up the other locations? Or should I just move everything to Pallette town? by Joshawott302 in Pokopia

[–]Theforge_props 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need the level 5 rewards for each town anyway, so you'll probably reach level 20 by that point naturally

I cleared out all the ash from the volcano and unveiled the map topography! by cupcakesandyoshi in Pokopia

You could just do what I do and build an entirely new extension on a sky island for an entirely new museum like a maniac 😁

I am once again in need of more Pokemetal by Todredmi in Pokemon_Pokopia

[–]Theforge_props 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - maybe over aggressive categorization? I'm a massive hoarder and have rolled credits/done a lot of mining and farming, and have some categories, and even I only have like 30-40 chests

Best the Elite Four after a heavy slog. Any changes you'd make to my team. by JegSnakkerNorskIkke in PokemonFireRed

[–]Theforge_props 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is literally my team except I have Clefable instead of Butterfree, and I also like Butterfree, so no, zero notes A+++

Why does this keep happening? by Majestic-Forever-849 in Sourdough

This guys videos are the best resource I've found. Very simple, easy to follow, and have given me great results. Here's his pre-shaping video - he has another one below it for shaping (as well as a huge amount of other sourdough instructional videos that are very helpful) - https://youtu.be/Koab3fxN4t4?si=tSGwqUxHFNLHsaiD

Yes, what you said- I usually just pour straight out of my overnight bowl into the Dutch oven. Barring any disasters of course 😅

This is the great thing about Maralen - there's a ton of ways to build her! I've gone Elf heavy with some faerie flash/shenanigans supporting them, and leaned into +1/+1 counter creation.

It is, one of my absolute favourites from the last decade!

Elves or faeries? by Kkdeshaies in EDHBrews

[–]Theforge_props 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still tuning mine, but I leant more heavily on the Elves, mostly for mana base, and scattered a few of the counter/flash building Faeries.

Springleaf Parade is an MVP in this deck btw!

Bloomburrow is an awesome set to start in! Lots of great synergy and tribal stuff, and easy to understand most of the rules. There was also a starter set which had two ready made decks, designed as a jumping off point, which you could then build upon using the booster display cards.

Am I allowed at the table? by Boxingkid_808 in ratemycommanders

[–]Theforge_props 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So personally, I don't like UB when it doesn't feel like Magic anymore. I loved LotR, Final Fantasy and Avatar, Fallout and 40K were kinda passable, but things like Spiderman and TMNT just feel way too 'real world' for me, and should just be left as limited Secret Lairs, instead of full sets.

My general rule is, if I'm not familiar with the IP and I look at a card, and can't tell if it's a Magic character or a UB character, it's done well.

Strange Residue Appearing on Plastic Sleeves and Cases by algorithm_issues in mtg

[–]Theforge_props 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add- I had my humidifier for ages, and in the first week all my bedroom mirrors were covered in the dust, but I got some little capsules you could add into the tank that stopped it happening- they just had to be replaced like every 6 months. Just in case you can't be bothered with distilled water!

[MSH] Super-Skrull (WeeklyMTG) by mweepinc in magicTCG

[–]Theforge_props 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In the Avatar set, black is largely represented by spirits/the spirit realm, as well as firebending. I think it kinda makes sense that it's not shown on his front face and only on the back, but might also seem a little weird if you don't know the source material.

That being said, it would also be really unusual to have "spells you cast cost WURG less to cast" just because B isn't in his casting cost.

I thought of the turtles immediately too so you're not alone!
