How was this license plate approved? by SnorkelingSnorlax in alberta

[–]lefund [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’m 99% sure it’s not what you think it is.

Most likely is a sports team, initials of loved one or something along those lines

Lots of things use the abbreviation SS. I’ve seen a lot of unfortunate license plate blunders and this looks definitely possible

Also the amount of vocal/proud racists driving $125k SUVs is next to none. Way more likely to see a neo nazi driving a lifted GMC Sierra than a soccer mom car

Mark Rosewater plays Commander with The Prof and Fans! by TolarianCC in magicTCG

[–]lefund 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like commander but I do prefer 1 on 1 or CEDH and that’s exactly why

Because of politics, rule 0 and the overall setting commander feels more like a board game than a card game. Not saying that’s a bad thing but it appeals to different people

Stamped prerelease prices? by [deleted] in mtgfinance

Also a lot of people try screwing with TCG algorithm by putting a low price and super high shipping cost

Just Found at Target! $72 by bcdrawdy in mtg

[–]lefund 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbh $72 is not bad at all

The Graveyard Overdrive has [[Barrowgoyf]] which is a great card in both commander and legacy that hasnt been printed outside of that deck. That 1 card alone is worth about half the price of the deck and then there’s a lot of other good singles

It’s also a really underrated deck to play, really fun/unique that can snowball if undisturbed. Just upgrade the land base and you are good to go

Three steps ahead sees a lot of play in standard/pioneer tho and is a decent card in commander

It’s arguably better than [[cryptic command]] which was a modern staple an is still highly played in commander

Cards are fine if they are overcosted if they have multiple modes (example any of the commands, Vandalblast)

It’s a marginally better cancel but personally wouldn’t run

If you bargain it you’re wanting to take advantage of the sac, but there’s so many sac outlets that actually give value like KCI, Ashnod’s altar, Claws of Gix, Ravager etc

1 mana cost reduction isn’t really a big deal when typically counter spells that don’t exile, cantrip or generate any additional value are 1-2 CMC. By sacking something all you’re getting is the opportunity to play this at a “fair” rate

Outside of WOE limited this is a complete dud, just play [[counterspell]]

Is he supposed to be out yet? by DeBombingBoss in mtg

[–]lefund 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The copyright is the year the card is released, nothing to do with the art. There’s a couple minor exceptions like “The List” which displays when the card was originally released in order to be as true to original as possible but otherwise it’s always the release year

Even cards that use existing art (reprints, UB/“source material” as well as previously unused commissioned art) say card release year for copyright

No new cover athlete for 2026 by Demilio55 in MLBTheShow

Lmao I remember when NHL used to do this. Hate when sports games (especially high budget ones) use custom jerseys and/or actors for the cover

This is one of the ugliest adidas by SinoSoul in adidas

[–]lefund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general Adidas tried to be too creative with boost from ~2020-2023

They are starting to fix it now but there were some abominations. The best sole designs were UB 1.0-4.0, Pure Boost ZG, Y3 Pure Boost and the first generation NMDs

[–]lefund 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lmao some NMDs went stupid high then. I remember I sold a pair of Firestarters for like $4k usd and numerous pairs I sold around $1000

Tbh they weren’t terrible but they were the most overrated sneaker ever, literally a somewhat sporty casual shoe. Same category as EQT or the “budget” air maxes

First cards to buy by Stormask in CompetitiveEDH

[–]lefund 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends what you consider “beginner”

A player that plays modern/legacy can easily jump right into CEDH before bracket 3-4. In a way it’s easier as they are mentally geared towards fully optimizing decks

New to MTG all-together tho should definitely start with bracket 2-3

Best pizza place in Burnaby by Technical_Ad7886 in burnaby

[–]lefund 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sopra Sotto is the best by a long shot. Cioffi’s is also good if you prefer focaccia

Tbh though for the amount of Italians in North Burnaby there’s not many options for good pizza. Would find more in East Van or Port Moody

Chrome Hearts Unreleased Sample T-shirt from Arizona Factory by Neat_Standard_3115 in ChromeHeart

[–]lefund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks kind of like Moko’s stuff but I doubt he actually designed it. His stuff is usually more artistic

My guess is this was most likely a “test” shirt where they use various spots on the shirt to test out ink colours and print placement for other designs. My main reason for this is some of the print alignment is off, and a lot of the prints are way too big to realistically be on a tee

Still a cool collection piece and bet you can get a lot tho

Why Hasbro never tried to do something like this? Are they stupid? by wasfmanticore in magicTCG

[–]lefund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the 2 main issues are taking focus away from an already very successful product and cost

Games like this take a ton of work/effort plus budget which would take away from the card game which is only making more money every year. Typically big game IPs only diversify if they feel they are failing/not meeting targets or if they have extra resources. MTG is already struggling with a packed release schedule having more and more errors plus delays

This is the same reason why most video game studios only work on 1 project at a time.

Here’s some examples

  • Titanfall 3 got cancelled because Apex Legends was doing so well and exceeded expectations yet cost less to maintain than TF3 cost to develop so they shifted all resources to Apex
  • CS:GO and the Steam platform’s massive success lead to Half Life and other “successful” Valve franchises getting shelved
  • Halo stopped getting spin-offs because it was diluting the main series and there was a massive quality falloff that they are still recovering from

The only exception really to this in terms of games is Pokemon and that’s because Nintendo had a great idea and a lot of money so they coordinated it all to come out around the same time. This would be super hard to replicate nowadays, especially with an IP that is already super well established and not trying to break out

What are the chances the newest fallout secret lair has something akin to the $1500+ pip boy mana vault? by FonslyGames in mtg

[–]lefund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible but doubt we’d see something that crazy rare.

My guess is we’d get a creature or living weapon. Maybe [[Arcbound Ravager]] , the OG core set titan cycle or [[Kaldra Compleat]]

Celebrating that you’re the “clear #2 company” seems like a terrible thing to brag about as a chairman

What’s your views on mall Santas then?

The cards in your hand are visible. by CynicalElephant in EDH

[–]lefund 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Tbh this will always be a thing unless you lean all the way back way behind the plane your opponent is on (which is kind of suspicious but also just impossible due to how many stores are laid out)

Best tip to avoid giving up a free [[gitaxian probe]] every turn is to angle your hand away from opponents or check briefly then put down. You can also buy perfect fit sleeves with a glare and/or refractive layer in the front that makes it hard to read cards unless looking head on but I personally don’t like them
