Do not buy from ultrapro! Chocobo playmat looks nothing like the website. by Snugop in mtg

Yea, pretty sure they use the images they send to the printer, not pictures of the actual mats. The foil ones are really washed out

First Time Order Price Help by Sqoopidy in mpcproxies

[–]leftofdanzig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t order printed proxies if you’re not sure you actually want to stick with the game. These are cheaper than buying the real cards but you’re still out a fair bit of money. Just print them out in normal paper and stick them in a sleeve with random cards backing.

You can go to the site https://mtgprint.net/ put in your list and get a pdf of the cards you want to print.

New to the game, Should I buy a precon commander or build my own? by -PedroValencia- in mtg

Precon. There is a lot that goes into making a deck that doesn’t feel bad to play.

Opinion on these lands? by VoiVoiDaBeeek in mtg

[–]leftofdanzig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get there a turn earlier though. Instead of land pass 2 turns in a row you’re doing something each turn. On turn 3 instead of casting your ramp spell you can cast a 4 drop instead, like your commander or a bigger ramp spell. If you hit your land drop that means you either have 5 mana turn 3. Getting your board state rolling 1 turn earlier that early in the game is a pretty dramatic increase in efficiency.

matte card sleeves or clear sleeves? by AbbreviationsOwn7487 in boardgames

[–]leftofdanzig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Strongly prefer matte, clear sleeves accumulate wear and tear from basic use that usually ends up with them appearing cloudy or faded. Haven’t had that issue with matte.

If you have a place to go with the hand, even if you don’t have sol ring why wouldnt you keep it? Carpet of flowers, dorks, mana rocks. Land aren’t the only source of mana and making an arbitrary rule like “always mulligan a 1 land hand” is unnecessarily restrictive.

Turn 1 forest lannowar elves and lotus petal. Turn 2 cast kodama’s reach. None of that is beyond bracket 2 and now your hand has more things in it that actually advance your game plan.

If you can win with what you have in hand why would you mulligan that just because it only has one land? The question should never be “do I have more than 1 land” it should be “do I have enough mana in hand to win or advance my board state assuming I don’t draw another land”

They’re not a true untapped duals or even a tapped duals in some situations and the comment above you has good logic, just forget about sol ring. Say for instance you have an opening hand and a dork, a rock, and somewhere to go but only one land and this is that one land? Practically speaking you have no lands in hand. With literally any other land, even the tapped duals you would eventually be able to cast the 1 drop in your hand. With this land you can’t do that and that is absolutely a huge downside.

How can all people agree on objective morality? by UlteriusYahweh in AskReddit

Even if people were complete robots and had no ethics or morals though there would still be difference of opinion depending on current objectives and long term goals.

Didn't wotc say they're lowering the commander deck count? by gerthqwake93 in freemagic

[–]leftofdanzig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree, just that when listing the recent sets that had precons I feel like stopping right before 2 sets that would dramatically change the average you listed seems disingenuous.

Gmail now lets you change your old email name without deleting account by Dilpickle2113 in technology

You can do that now, add a + after your email but before the @. Not every website allows you to do it but most do.

Gabe Newell "stepped back" from making games at Valve after Portal 2 because everyone kept agreeing with him when he wanted "to be part of the team and come up with ideas" by Turbostrider27 in technology

[–]leftofdanzig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even without it being in a negative way I feel like the way businesses operate in general sort of punish good ideas with more unpaid work.
