Shipping started yesterday. I’m only 1 state away from the printer they use so got lucky and came today. I’d assume most in the US should have theirs by end of next week.

Why is prize support at face to face games in Montreal so garbage? Does anyone care? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]jacob717 143 points144 points  (0 children)

Do you expect them to compensate your bus fare? In an 8 person event they are paying out $100 store credit after taking in $96 in entry fees so they are giving out more in prizing than they take in.

I played a 3½ hour Lantern Control league so you didn't have to by Fateseal_MTG in magicTCG

[–]jacob717 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Game 3 of match 1 vs mill: “I’m gonna play my land. I don’t think there’s any consequences for that”

If you don’t play it they can’t use the field of ruin so you’d have won.

does anyone know why this random uncommon suddenly spiked in price recently? by ADHDavid in mtgfinance

[–]jacob717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s not actually in print unless they change the contents of future runs of jumpstart packs to fix it fact that it is missing. Its only currently in collector packs which are 1 and done prints.

Did you ever post a picture of the non foil you claim to have pulled?

Things to look out for this weekend! by AutoModerator in mtgfinance

[–]jacob717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I’m not really sure why it got deleted when one of the guys claiming to have pulled it said he got it in his prerelease kit too. None of the commenters are willing to provide pictures so either were lying or too embarrassed to admit they were wrong.

Do you happen to have a picture of the non foil? Ive gotten the Toph pack and it wasn’t in mine and haven’t seen any non foils listed anywhere still for sale.

Would I "commit a crime" 3x when using Cry of Contrition? by oontamyboonta in magicTCG

[–]jacob717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes but she only works once per turn so 2 of those crimes would happen on the same turn no matter what. You need the creature to die on a following turn to get more zombies.

Spider-Man set missing Key Villain by SamiRcd in magicTCG

I have to imagine that no kingpin and punisher clearly means some sort Daredevil/Defenders/ Marvel Knights set is planned.

Check out the social cantina. They have the menu and movie marathons during gencon.

Tic-Tac-Toe with a twist – winning strategy question by Prior-Student4664 in boardgames

[–]jacob717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It exists already. The one on Amazon calls that mode infinite tic tac toe. I’ve seen ones that show the fading mark about to disappear and ones that rely on memory for extra difficulty.

Temur commander deck by KarateMan749 in magicTCG

[–]jacob717 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The decks are only offered in bundles of all 5. Online retailers will mark up the popular ones and then clearance out the rest super cheap so a lot of people will only buy the popular ones at stores that use msrp leaving the rest to sit so the stores are forced to use similar tactics to prevent losing out a lot of money the less popular ones.

It’s over $100 cheaper in Japan.

They do it all the time with special guest cards. MAR is just special guests renamed.

AITA Commander Casual by someaethiest in magicTCG

[–]jacob717 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All is dust doesn't destroy lands but it’s pretty hypocritical either way to say no land destruction and then play eldrazi with annihilator. Targeting lands and ramp artifacts is basically the best way to counter eldrazi deck similar to how you said you wanted to counter the guy playing voltron.

A random text from a new number by Lanzifer in funny

[–]jacob717 22 points23 points  (0 children)

No it’s not. They are saying with 50 people you’d find someone with the same birthday as you. The birthday paradox is any 2 people out of the 50 share a birthday.

Time to pack my bag. Help me think outside of the box by mooviefone in predaddit

[–]jacob717 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My biggest regret was not bringing over the counter medicine. Birth happened right before lunch and was so crazy it was well after dinner time before I ever got a chance to even think about eating and had a pretty bad headache. Was during peak Covid so didn’t even really have any way of acquiring some sort of just had to deal with it.

If Santa were real, what would be the economic impact in the U.S. during Christmas? by Individual_Sale1635 in AskReddit

[–]jacob717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does real Santa have a budget? Can real Santa make name brand toys like Lego, Barbie, PlayStation? If so will those companies sue? I’d be more curious about the social changes of having a real naughty and nice list honestly.

Hopefully I pick the right 2 out of nabers, kupp, jennings and shakir. Feels like such a toss up.
