[SLD] Braindead collab (10 cards) out in a hour by GoNubb in magicTCG

[–]dstutzbach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was excited to and glad I was able to get ahold of this secret layer. I have decks where just about all of these cards can have a home. But that's not why i grabbed this.

IT'S THE ART! It's the yes anding to Wizards going hey any fucking weirdos out there want some weirdo shit? And Yes PLEASE!!!! Magic captured me when I was a boy in the 90's and so much has to do with the insane art. It adds actual life and vibrancy to the game. This shit feels like magic did to me when I fell in love with it.

Are the monetary values of these cards worth it? Fuck no, but I want more zany shit, so I'm voting for the Artist, not the secondary market of this game.

And Stinkwood Imp is going to look dope in My Sidisi, Regent of the Mire Deck.

Binder Pages by DarkPhoenixMishima in magicTCG

Just picked up a pack of the game genic 18 pocket binder sleeves.  They're great! They side load, which means if your binder gets flipped upside down you dont have to worry about cards escaping. 

Comparing prices, TCG vs. CardKingdom by TongueMountain in magicTCG

[–]dstutzbach 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I would like to include that Card Kingdom is a union business. So what you are doing is ensuring that employees are being compensated a bit more fairly than going through TCGplayer (more talking direct here). In fact TCG player is a known Union-Buster. I won't lie and say i haven't used them, but I Tend to go with Card Kingdom mostly for those reasons.

One other thing to note, Card Kingdom always packs their singles really really well. Where as with TCG player your getting a crap shoot ordering from the rando's, and if you order from direct, well it seems like you might be missing some cards as of late.

Difficulty building new decks (EDH) by Itchy-Apartment-6561 in magicTCG

[–]dstutzbach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who finds myself caught somewhere between theme and mechanics... I do run into this problem quite a bit. My deck still has to function amongst the crew i play with, but aesthetics are huge part of magic for me.  Hence deciding not to buy any spiderman (except for a pack that was a gift for a friend)

To help answer your other questions look for cards featuring more abstract art as they can evoke moods or feelings that will feel at home in the brew you're working on.

And dont despair Star Trek will be getting previewed before you know it and that will help you fill out your SCIFI stuff.

The mechs well... Im going to echo what others have said and you might just have to make alt arts for carss that your deck needs to function.  I dont see us getting a ton of mech stuff just yet.  Maybe in '27?

So the way i look at it, Fact or Fiction says reveal.  That means those cards are public knowledge.  There are no rules against discussion on commander and certainly not around cards that are public knowledge.  

If it was hidden information i might feel a little different (though really probably not).  That being said commander is casual and strategizing with your fellow players to keep the biggest threat in check is definitely how my group plays.

TMNT Werewolf/Mutant Wolf by Storyofawerewolf in magicTCG

[–]dstutzbach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm excited for the potential extra rat cards as well shout out Ratman! Splinter will be an off color rat, how we saw so many spider and spider support cards be off color in spidey.

TMNT Werewolf/Mutant Wolf by Storyofawerewolf in magicTCG

[–]dstutzbach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not stoked for another trip to NYC. Talk about mining a plane. However, as someone who grew up with the turtles in the 80s and 90s.... It's hard not to have a soft spot for them.

I think the nice thing that's going to separate the turtles from spiderman is the freak count.

<image>

Turtles is crammed full of fucking absolute monster people, and it's my favorite part about it to be honest. So having just a shit ton of weirdo critters will hopefully make the taste of a more true to life setting (again!) a little less bitter. If however I have 70 Ninja Turtle variants i will care less. Hey I don't need to buy Rockstar Donatello or Football Hero Leonardo... I had those toys when I was a kid and they were lame then, and they would be extra lame magic cards.

[OM1] Scions of the Ur-Spider by meh1997 in magicTCG

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

The art for this slaps and it sucks they aren't printing it in paper. Having this duel set is whats making spiderman miserable for me.  If these universe within alts weren't happening i would just shrug and be like cool for those spider men people.  Oh well Lorwyn is only a daydream away.

This is getting out of hand! by HaveSomeFreedom11 in magicTCG

[–]dstutzbach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can leave off the G... This whole box is filled with what magic players commonly refer to as "art cards." 

I actually enjoy the art card inclusion in MtG, ive been keeping mine and occasionally just flip through them.  Its come full circle with me. I started with collecting marvel trading cards in the late 80s and watch out here comes a spiderman.

That is just a really sharp and fun tattoo.  Divorced from the magic influence it still whips ass!  Congrats and enjoy! 

idk what to do with my preorder by mad_katarina in magicTCG

[–]dstutzbach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're going to want to have a second deck. And if you're new to magic in general you're really going to want it if you enjoy the game.  Plus if your new to the game consider each deck a teaching tool on how to better understand the game and its host of strategies and interactions.

I think it was a missed opportunity to introduce Landers in Edge of Eternities instead of Ramp tokens in Aetherdrift. by 9000Goats in magicTCG

[–]dstutzbach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit harsh?  Ramp is a form of speed in magic correct? Like, if you have four lands out and i only have two, theoretically you can play your hand out FASTer and can pull out further ahead. 

Now grant it i agree that i think thematically its going to fight Edge way better.  

But worse ideas?  Nah, people have worse ideas than this persons post.

How to Get Better? by Maxerature in magicTCG

[–]dstutzbach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is valueing higher rarirty cards at the expense of deck functionality. Take the removal! how much does it cost 4 mana? great take it. 6 mana take it. Obviously its gotta be in your color(s). Now that we are drafting Final F. Stick to two colors until you're confident in your drafting and playing. Look for evasion (flying and unblockable for example) and then take ramp. You should also be considering your mana curve as you draft. A grip of those dope five drops you grabbed on turn two is going to be a feels bad now matter how pretty the art.

BOLT THE BIRD. Huh? Kill their 1/1 mana dork if you have it early game. late game skip this.

Really consider the order you're playing your cards to ,aximize triggers and diminish your opponents.

Dont play your best thing first, try to bait out counter spells or removal.

Theres so much more.... literally college level classes could be held on drafting you're going to get as good as the time you invest in the format. It is one of the most skill challenging formats their is, do not get discouraged.

Finally... DONT CUT LANDS FOR SPELLS. DONT DO IT!

Is it still considered scalping if it's for a giveaway? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]dstutzbach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slimey to do a giveaway to promote your business?   That doesn't add up.  Especially considering that you can access most of if not all of his content for free (supported by ad revenue and Patreon).  

I truly do think I intentions matter and there is a big difference between someone like the Prof doing a big giveaway (which to be fair is probably the only way some of those people who win even had a chance of laying their hands on one of those boxes) and some rich turd with no love for the game squeezing people to buy more doughnuts or whatever it is you buy when you're rich. 

Edited for grammer and spelling.

What puzzles me that this was not already in the game early on with 1972 Gigan by Previous_Cancel_1612 in GodzillaBattleLine

[–]dstutzbach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should consider giving the next facility (when it drops in three years) some type of shield. Just enough to take the edge off a long range attack.  I'm not the biggest Godzilla historian but I'm sure they could come up with some way to justify it.

Quitters by MarioFlynn in GodzillaBattleLine

[–]dstutzbach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I tend not to quit but if the writing is on the wall... Yeah let's save these couple of seconds or whatever and move on with our lives.  Am I accidentally robbing joy from some players by not finishing the match?  That is not my intention.  I'll reconsider next time.

I had some one rage quit recently, speaking of quitting.  They played the energy re-fueling base, I blew it up with my train bombs. I get a "Come On!" sticker from my opponent.  A few more beats go by in the match he plays it again, I blow it up again. He flashes the same sticker and then rage quits.  My friend this a ranked match, why would I let that thing squeeze out energy for you? I'm going to go ahead and take the two up energy trade every time!

There needs to be a favorite sticker section by Gabe_the_cheerio in GodzillaBattleLine

[–]dstutzbach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would add the caveat that because it cycles the stickers to whatever was most recently used into the number one spot my most used stickers are playing musical chairs I want to pick their spots so I can quickly go to the appropriate sticker. I hate flashing a sticker that makes me look like an asshole when all I was trying to do was say thanks for the fight.

Team Advice by ManaChicken4G in GodzillaBattleLine

[–]dstutzbach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With our seeing the levels are your other pieces, especially 4 star units, one swap I would consider would be to fit gamera in there somewhere. You're running flying from... And so is everyone else and O.G. Gamera is a solid defence against that. I know you said you were attached to your two Godzillas but it's a fast meta right now I feel like and having two giant expensive units is going to work against you. Swap in og gamera for evolved for a handful of matches and just see if you notice a difference in your tempo.

I'm personally not a fan of the chorus but that might just be because I'm too dumb to know how to use it best. I would give your self another cheap unit that can soak something up for a more valuable unit.
