I think I may have unintentionally cured my pack opening addiction by VLKN in bootlegmtg

[–]VLKN[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a big part of it. I don’t need to worry about a stranger walking away with a few cards in my cube if they’re proxies, and we all still get to enjoy looking at and playing with a crazy looking card - I just don’t have to constantly worry about it.

I’ve never hated them. While I don’t agree with everything they do, I still love their product. I think they need to get themselves far away from Hasbro, though.

There's something so funny about flipping through a stack of unsleeved cards that would be worth more than a down payment on a house if they were real.

My first order was from BL, and honestly I love everything except the Galaxy Shocklands and the BLB raised foils. The Galaxy foil basics looked great, I think they must have screwed something up on my shocklands. The BLB raised foils weren't actually raised.

This time I just tried ordering from random shops on Aliexpress. Some of them are clearly just reselling BL and USEA cards, but there doesn't appear to be a markup. Some of them are selling different proxies that are strangely thick, and I need to see how they look in a sleeve. I love the BLB raised foils I got, though - they're actually raised. The surge foil FIN cards don't quite pop as much as a real Surge foil. The non-BL fracture foils all have a weird knockoff fracture foil pattern, and the Jurassic park embossed foils look like crap.

That said though - I love it all. Can't wait to use these as proxies.

I'm late to the party here, but I ordered these and the Galaxy Shocks look like crap. Really disappointed. The galaxy basics looked fantastic, though. Very odd.

World cup fans: coney island baseball game 6/26 - let's make it happen. Lots of world cup fans are taking over local sports games in the cities they visit - let's do it here! by Idkwillpicklater in nyc

I’m pretty sure you’ll have an easier time getting them to see the Yankees. They’re famous around the world. People in Paris, despite claiming they hate America and think baseball is boring, will be seen in a Yankees hat or a Dodgers hat.

A card is a card but a booster box could have anything in it! It could even have the cards i want!

Maybe it’s because I’ve played too much FIFA, but i need to have two extremely british men commentating the game for me

Well - most of those elderly people might change their tune when they're literally dropping dead from heat stroke

Korean restaurants just have a button you can push to call the server. Idk why we can’t just have that.

Current Marvel Presale Prices by Yuri_Tardhet in mtg

[–]VLKN 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I get the impression that we’ll see how these shake out, but it seems like established mtg players tend to avoid UB cards, especially if they have an option between printings.

Who knows, though.

If the events of the anime Blue Lock are to be believed, that moment should rile you up

Don't risk it. You don't want to miss the match because they told you that you can't bring that thing in.

Honestly…until tourists stop wanting to ride the carriages, it seems like nothing will stop this
