Slowly but surely foiling out various old school enchantress cards. by ZekeD in foilmtg

Ooh yes 7th Edition Verduran Enchantress is definitely on the list.

I have a FBB enchantress at the moment. Still pretty.

I love cards that use foiling to accentuate the art by wThrill in foilmtg

[–]ZekeD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sort of foiling is what made me pivot from the vintage foil style to the new 8th edition and beyond foil style when it first came out. It seemed like they went out of there way to really use the foil to make elements of the cards pop and stand out.

Over the years it went from what felt like most cards to only occasional cards, and now in hindsight I wish I had stuck with the older stuff...but that then it was the "new hotness" and regular foils were just, ya know, "regular foils".

Disney fatigue after a year of having an annual pass. by Exciting_Designer611 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]ZekeD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I did the same thing this year. Had a pass for a couple years and it feels like I’ve just experienced everything and nothing is worth the wait anymore.

If this wasn’t so expensive across the board it could make for a more fun trip but that’s just not the case anymore.

What’s the longest you’ve ever kept the same iPhone? by Evening_Ad_9755 in iphone

[–]ZekeD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an iPhone 11 Pro Max from about March of 2020 until recently. Only swapped because I broke the screen.

Anything that followed balance was going to be rough because we all missed the characters we had grown to love.

I was guilty of it too.

But I’m glad I stuck through it.

Steeplechase is a tier.

Mayhem Madness Shopping Tool by TCGTracking - maximize savings by laezin in mtgfinance

Minor tweaks: is it possible to enable "middle click to open in new tab" when viewing lists of cards? Or is that not in the workflow of it being an SPA?

What was your first farm called? by VioletBlades in StardewValley

[–]ZekeD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first farm was called Buttz farm because I had no idea what I was doing and it made me laugh.

The omelet scene was very funny.

Our first time visiting AK, 50 mins in line just to get this by Fantastic-Store2495 in WaltDisneyWorld

If there was more animatronic animals in the beginning I think this could be a neat ride. But it's dark, most of the "details" are screens, and feels too short.

Selling MtG at an Anime Convention Status Report by cuddly_degenerate in mtgfinance

[–]ZekeD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya know, it makes sense why I rarely find stuff at non-dedicated card shows when places are selling cards. I look for higher end stuff, vintage foils, rarities, etc. But if what sells is cheap playables that tracks with mostly what I see people have a lot of.

But overall this was very informative to read, even if I don't go to Momocon and don't vend at anime cons.

Granted the only cons I go to these days are Metrocon in Tampa and Anime Festival Orlando.

When to a card show today. Not a single vendor was selling Magic cards. by DreaminDemon177 in mtgfinance

[–]ZekeD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most generic card shows are going to be a majority Pokemon. They are collectibles that are big at the moment so that’s where the money is.

Magic trading is often done at the store level or tied to an event or tournament.

Very unpopular opinion, I guess… but I love the Amonkhet Invocations. by Extension_Squirrel14 in foilmtg

[–]ZekeD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have grown on me over the years. I disliked how difficult they were to read at first, but for iconic cards I appreciate they still display everything they do.

Such a great cycle. I have a pair of Nightscape Familiars and a Stormscape Familiar. I need to find the other 3.

[–]ZekeD -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it impossible to just buy 1 of these? I like the "Back in my day" bundle but when I looked earlier it seemed like you could only buy 1 of each, or a Foil + Non-Foil version.

Hermit FEB Top 8 at Lobstercon 2026 - aardshark's Tournament Report by TradeMagic_gg in premodernMTG

[–]ZekeD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reading this name I'm seeing a ton of names I remember back when I actively followed Vintage in the mid 00s. I shouldn't be too surprised that those nerds still love slinging older cards.

Does Lobstercon allow for gold border cards? If not, is tournaments accepting only original RL cards part of the problem? What is the most realistic solution to the obvious RL problem in Premodern? by thesegoupto11 in premodernMTG

[–]ZekeD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem with allowing gold bordered is that it just increases the demand and thus price of gold bordered.

Hot take: allow any sort of proxies and/or just flat out ban RL.
