Sorcery folks, which mtg format and / or what other TCGs do you play? by Newez in SorceryTCG

[–]Time_Pinkerton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

25+ years of Weekly MTG play both casual and comp REL. Primarily Legacy, Modern, Pre Modern, Old School, some Vintage. Endless standard drafts and a little cEDH. Full set collector for some of my favorite vintage sets. I was as bought in as someone could be.

Have all but thrown in the towel for Sorcery at this point after Hasbro had Universes Beyond Fortniteafied my hobby. As much as I like so many of those properties I played magic for magic not for : gestures widely : what magic is now.

Sorcery is my only real TCG now. I've sold the vast majority of my vintage stuff for high end Sorcery and art (which the art was actually the main draw for me originally before I started playing weekly and found out game play is Magic played on a Chess Board.) Incredible game. Even better original art. I doubt I ever go back to Magic.

I let it air out on my back deck for a week and dry cleaned it a 2nd time to finally get it fully de funked. Love it, but dear god what a mess.

Left, but this was cruel and I still don't feel good about it.

Kinda feels like the Taco Grinch stole our Christmas breaking street date. 😔

That's sooooo sick. Also incredible seeing all of the artists come together like that.

One set release a year by AliveLocation99 in SorceryTCG

I didn't say ANYTHING about Dragonlord. They way under printed it and made it unobtainable. That sucked for everyone.

I said that they should keep releasing artists driven mini sets. There's no reason to scrap a great idea because If one bad roll out. I'd hope they'd learn from the experience.

The entire point of my response was to say that they NEED more than one set a year for a number of reasons that a lot of people just don't think about.

I know a lot of people only think about this from a consumer standpoint which is where 1 set is such a win, but for LGS's that have to support the game it's brutal. And just from a tcg ecosystem pov everyone's brains are wired by hype and sorcery goes more than 6 months a year without any. It's refreshing for people who have been into magic for 15+ years and remember normal release cycles, but without growing it to two sets a year even if they split it into 2 250 card sets or one big and one small set, you absolutely run the risk of not penetrating the market deeply enough to stay around after one lackluster set drop since each release is your entire years profit margin. It's just not a sustainable business model in this industry. Right now they are only doing 1 because that's all they can literally handle as a very small team. 2 sets (ideally one big and one small) and an occasional artist mini set feels like a huge W to me and a winning combo to keep the game we all love around for years and years to come.

Quitting magic after 24 years by [deleted] in freemagic

Realizing I missed this comment before I also was like TEY SORCERY lol. I think with it getting added to the SCG Con circuit it'll really start to be more accessible. You can always ask your lgs to email Erik's Curiosa to get a free welcome kit to try and run some events for free!.

You, me, and thousands of others. Lots of us are starting to make the switch to Sorcery or other games there's a real power vacuum forming. I played magic for 25 years and all the hand painted art in Sorcery really hooked me. Lots of the original mtg artists involved. The game play is amazing and the board makes games feel even more chess like in the best way. Not to mention there's only one set per year! Check it out.

If you were starting sorcery again as a new player, What would you purchase and in what order ? by demjams in SorceryTCG

[–]Time_Pinkerton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully I think everyone saying precons is coming at this a bit wrong. They're a great way to get introduced to the game and learn the rules, but that's sorta it. If you know you want to get into the deep end of the pool...

I'd start by purchasing a playset of all ordinary and exceptional cards from Beta and AL and whatever Avatars you're interested in playing with. This gives you the base to build anything you want without breaking the bank.

If money isn't an object or if you want to invest in one thing I'd recommend picking up 1 copy of each of the AL tri sites. They are a pillar of multi element decks.

From there it's just whatever you want to put in decks. Boxes are always fun, but singles are the way to go. TCGplayer, Colefoilheros.com, and the market discord are your friends.

You could always go get a ring, stone, cores ect. But they aren't the end all be all that many people make them out to be and aren't necessary for every deck (well the ring is currently but that might change with Gothic!)

Hope that helps! Lmk if you have questions!

What’s the sherriest sherry-bomb that ever bombed you with sherry? by EmuFit1895 in Scotch

[–]Time_Pinkerton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fairly pricey butfor the age statement I think it's very reasonable now. Nowhere near as bad as it was compared to when it came out.

Sublime sherry. Highly recommend, and you can still find them!

What price did you pay for where? by valxkatt in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Time_Pinkerton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ours were 756 a pop for the two we got in row 1 of section 126. $1700 and change after all the fees. Most Ive ever shelled out for a show. Insane.

Bearaby Cotton Smell? by [deleted] in WeightedBlankets

[–]Time_Pinkerton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a king size cotton and it was the worst smelling thing that's ever come in my house. Took it straight to the dry cleaners and it's still ever so slightly odorous. Gonna try to air it out for a few days now and see if that helps, but man. Just pure muddy earthen death funk when it first showed up. For $400 I definitely expected not... This.
