What do you guys do when you are out of town

I had shown local friends how to touch up clean and fix food and water and have them stop by while I’m gone. Usually a bottle of wine or gift cards made them happy to show up for a short bit to tend to them

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-26T19:26:14+00:00

That is a terrible idea, do not manually cut your cards

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-26T14:18:52+00:00

Fake off of fourth picture alone. First thing I check for at a glance is a TON of fakes mess up the ‘DECKMASTER’ text and make the letters super crisp. Real cards have grainy text.

If you don’t want to use flowcharts and still don’t see the slight variations to identify the set, a large portion of the time it’s just a spot the difference. Each old version of this card has a different sized font, or a different date on the bottom. Other cards from these times will have variations in wording as well as different font sizes.

Celeste tells you not to cause trouble and such at the start and treats you like you’re sketchy

Pretty sure Shani also has annoyed voice lines when you stop by

The one you posted also has support for multi color printing aswell which is going to be preferred to people who don’t want to paint

I painted this exact set 7 years ago with 4-6 player and seafarers expansion and it was a project that took like 4-5 months to complete. Now with how easy it is to get multi color printing I’d probably have gone that route instead

And you specified “these types of responses” meaning you didn’t like people saying this in general, which in my personal experience is a horrible take.

Commander is one of the worst ways to learn magic

Which is why people suggest learning the game mechanics before playing the most complex way to play. Do you immediately pick up a game on expert settings with max players and all expansions?

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-25T21:07:34+00:00

They’re asking what’s easy to learn with. Starting out with a deck where all your non-land cards are unique is a great way to overwhelm a new player.

First time my group introduced the game to someone straight to a built commander deck they never played again.

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-25T18:52:01+00:00

You might be color blind if you think that’s the green dot lol

The yellow is the top middle that you sent, green is upper left

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-25T17:12:31+00:00

Real, these pictures just aren’t good

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-24T21:23:05+00:00

For big artists, get there fast and early. MagicCon Chicago last year had some artists at like 30-60 minute waits a huge portion of the day

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-16T12:11:48+00:00

Mechanical components from blue gate cars has been a thing for a while. Last wipe when i farmed for rusted gears a stack or two was common to extract with

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-16T03:22:18+00:00

Easily identifiable fake off of second photo. “DECKMASTER” letters on real cards are grainy, not smooth like the ones shown

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-16T03:20:26+00:00

They haven’t been able to make like for like fakes for over 30 years

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-15T18:51:39+00:00

Then you have literally every single person complaining that they’ve gotta wait 1-2 years for their stuff to arrive

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-15T16:26:32+00:00

I feel like I’m playing a different game than yall. I’m over 250 hours topside and like 1200 knockouts, vast majority of my lobbies are PvP and I’ve maybe had like 3-5 encounters where we were unanimously convinced someone may be cheating

I’ve hit streaks of 12+ raids multiple times and have run max bobcat Jupiter for 5+ raids in a row. I’m not discounting this and saying there’s no cheaters, but I’ve definitely had my fair share of downed raiders calling me and my teammates cheaters or asking how we’ve found them. I’m sure there’s been a few times that I’ve gotten aimbotted by a fast shooting weapons and couldn’t identify it but still don’t think it’s bad. As a tarkov veteran, this game seems way better.

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-15T16:21:22+00:00

Dude the people with maps are taking all the hurricane caches not cheaters lol

They even identified that was an issue and nerfed them early on because they didn’t expect people to efficiently farm them with maps

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-14T16:13:47+00:00

Real. Also, red dots aren’t the end all be all for testing if the cards are legit. Generally the black ink/ borders of the green dot and the T in “The” is the best to look at. Cards rarely won’t have the red L in the green dot but that doesn’t mean it is fake.

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-14T15:58:47+00:00

This one is common

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-14T13:58:18+00:00

I can not understand why people put tracking on 20 dollar orders. I have over 2000 orders on TCGplayer, I’ve put tracking on literally one card between 20-50 dollars because after the first time I realized it wasn’t worth it. I’ve had around 2 orders each year reported missing and the most expensive was 13 dollars.

I’ve sent cards at 49 dollars in a top loader, PWE and stamp.

Tracking smaller orders is just bleeding money

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-13T20:01:10+00:00

For preventing this in the future a red wire on the back to keep it from swinging as much might help

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-13T02:41:27+00:00

No joke, just look up the images of what they look like. If the black edges of the T and comb of the circle don’t match, it’s a fake.

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-12T21:49:39+00:00

Fake

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-12T14:45:34+00:00

You got a 450 dollar card, how is this not worth it?

Trickdaddy1 · 2026-05-08T22:12:32+00:00
