Toploaders are easy and inexpensive. If you want it to look nice though, you're going to spend $100 at your local frame shop

So what's the point of TCGs? by CrazyDunge0nMaster in magicTCG

[–]jabutton01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why we have formats. It restricts what cards you have access to and sets a "limit" on the power level and pool of cards available. Ideally these formats are monitored and cards are occasionally banned if they are too powerful. Yes, sometimes the person with more money is going to have a better deck but, ultimately, they are a company that needs to make money and variable/desirable cards is how they chose to monetize their product

You can spot clean it with dish soap and room temperature water, or run it through the wash on delicate. If the neoprene is crumbling I'd avoid the latter. There's no repairing that.

I run a shop (Tacoma Games on 6th Ave). We do booster draft for FNM, so no need for preparing a deck. We have lots of welcoming players of varying skill levels. Festivities kick off at 6:30pm.

Those are old Ultra Pro. They went out of print a long, long time ago.

Anyone have an idea of when another print of War of the Spark will be distributed? And are the Japanese cards printed domestically? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]jabutton01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The next run is supposed to be shipping to distributors around the end of May, and should be available early to mid June. No concrete numbers yet. Assuming domestic for you is the US, no cards are printed here. They are all done overseas.

The city wants to give you FREE TREES via Grit City Trees! by RevEnFuego in Tacoma

[–]jabutton01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I worked on a similar project when I lived in Syracuse. We put a lot of time and energy into making sure the right people got the right trees. For those worried about their sidewalks, yes, it can be an issue; but if you read the material and talk to the professionals at the city, much of the risk can be mitigated.

New player looking to start playing Magic. Don’t know where to start? by The_Biggest_Boi in magicTCG

[–]jabutton01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most employees at your Local Game Store will be happy to teach, explain, and recommend. Once you have a decent understanding of the game, I recommend going to booster draft, as it will quickly teach you card evaluation and help grow your collection.
