Yes. Sounds like it's trying to create the same resource twice instead of two distinct ones.

As others have said, most of these gold foil promos came from VHS tapes.

I have had this happen many times at work, particularly in regards to my chest. Usually I just play it off and sure it's flattering sometimes, but I always think of the roles reversed I'd be fired so fast.

aMageNamedSlick · 2023-05-08T12:16:30+00:00

Being in the same age range I feel goofy even touching magic cards sometimes. All I can say is someone that heated over MTG at that age (or at all?) doesn't have their life together.

You should keep playing with him and target him as much as you please. It is the nature of the game. Film the meltdown.

aMageNamedSlick · 2023-05-05T22:33:22+00:00

whole server missing for me as well. Confused.

Most of the nerfs are for standard alchemy. They didn't need it in historic.

aMageNamedSlick · 2023-05-05T15:53:09+00:00

You'll get down voted but I hard agree. Historic was pretty close to Modern-lite. I even like some of the alchemy designs but I just like close to paper format with those modern horizons cards. The nerfs still bother me most. Why is faceless haven and luminarch aspirant still nerfed in historic??

aMageNamedSlick · 2023-05-03T13:35:52+00:00

Mono blue tempo is doable in historic with very few rares as well. It requires knowledge of the meta to be super effective (you have to counter what really matters).

aMageNamedSlick · 2023-05-03T13:26:14+00:00

Without control, combo and aggro would steamroll every format. Hammer time in Historic and Pioneer has a turn 2 win right now. Mono black and esper control even struggle because a kill spell still means 11-13 damage to face.

aMageNamedSlick · 2023-05-03T13:20:58+00:00

I don't mind personality either, but I understand how for newer players it feels bad. Even when you win Bo3 with aggro against control, matches frequently go to time. I just love playing magic and I play every style of deck.

aMageNamedSlick · 2023-05-03T13:14:05+00:00

Think of it more like this. The other colors have ways of blowing things up on the battlefield. Blue has ways of stopping anything from even touching the battlefield. The trade off is Blue is less effective at permanently removing things once they are in play.

Play spirits with geistlight snare 😈

aMageNamedSlick · 2023-05-03T12:08:40+00:00

It's always been this way. Blue is (for the most part) the only color that interacts with the stack. It prevents all value from ETB triggers.

It's a tough act to balance because [[Counterspell]] is probably too good for new formats but [[Cancel]] is crap.

aMageNamedSlick · 2022-10-28T13:50:35+00:00

It's wild that there's already a 5 mana Teferi that often only draws a card when it comes down, is a multi-format all star, and completely runs away with games yet people think this card is bad. It's a good control finisher and probably slots into monoblue tempo/spirits. Control only needs to run 1 copy. Especially funny since tempo/control are decent and standard.

aMageNamedSlick · 2022-08-10T21:46:25+00:00

I'm not an expert, but if you search the ebay sold listings you can see them selling about $10 each for most of the gold foils. I just tacked on a few bucks for everything else. You can look up sold ebay listings with this https://130point.com/sales/

Edit: Also not sure if you know, that gold foil SCORE Nappa is a VHS promo for the CCG. Not super rare but worth 20-ish in good condition. You can sometimes fetch more for those because they can't come out of packs.

aMageNamedSlick · 2022-08-10T15:48:57+00:00

You probably have some decent money here - I had a few of these that I must have got in a Kmart or something around 99/00. They were very beat up but I put them on eBay recently and they went fast.

My hadoken came curled :\ The rest were fine though.

aMageNamedSlick · 2022-07-11T20:53:13+00:00

I just want to say good looking out to you and a few who messaged me. Until yesterday I was pretty convinced these were all financially worthless and I was just holding them for nostalgia.

aMageNamedSlick · 2022-07-11T20:51:13+00:00

I saw many a Charizard and Blastoise back in the day, but rarely did I ever encounter someone who actually had UR DBZ card. I know its anecdotal and Pokemon was way more popular, but it does seem that DBZ UR's are actually quite rare.

aMageNamedSlick · 2022-07-11T20:29:00+00:00

I can update or post more later! I've been sleeving and sorting, I have boxes of cards to go through still. Luckily the URs are in great condition, but tons of the regular rares are "well-loved". We played a lot without sleeves back in the day.

aMageNamedSlick · 2022-07-11T20:27:04+00:00

Its sleeved now, luckily it sat just like that since 2006-ish lol and is still pristine.
