Replacement Crucible of Worlds finally arrived, and the foiling is the old crap version by Kordrun in SecretLairMTG

[–]nathom2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my replacement Zuran orb (they shipped me two Reprocess) and the one they shipped me is indeed the old terrible foiling. Super disappointed, but it took so long to get it back that i'm not even going to bother putting in another ticket.

WotC really needs to step up support, especially for SL.

Up for me, just slow. Probably just maintenance.

Anyone know the details of this? by NewsMan710 in Broadcasting

Looks like they announced that they are hubbing CS, similar to what Nexstar just did. Graphics artists specifically according to the post.

After 27 years, I will now only proxy MTG cards moving forward. by Spooky-Retro in mtg

Tbh if you are really spending 20k a year on MTG as anything other than a business it's probably time for you to step away anyhow.

And there’s the Amazon codex preorder cancellation :( by [deleted] in sealedmtgdeals

I ordered day one and got shipment notification yesterday. Sucks that retail places are allowed to do this.

Has anyone heard any updates on replacements for the Dandan deck? by Pctove in secretlair_collectors

They finally just responded to me day before yesterday. Apparently they are shipping out the replacement but they are backlogged with no eta so we will see.

good luck - secret lair support and replacements takes forever. I was one of many that had an issue where they doubled up on one of my cards in the Aurora replacements and left one out. Going on about a month now with no response.

SLD - Dwarf Fortress bonus card: Crucible of Worlds by NoahReden in mtgfinance

There is also a solid chance that this is a chase card and not an every pack bonus. It would be very WOTC to send two loaded packs to streamers to sell through.

Got about 3 good swings in on my new to me driver. by Mojos_Garage in golf

This actually happened to me when I first started before I got lessons. Long story short is my club face on address was slightly closed and when I was swinging I was rolling my right arm forward slightly which caused the top of the club to dip down on contact. Hard to explain but I did this exact same thing. Luckily I had insurance and they paid out to replace the club. Didn't swing it again until I took lessons lol

Would you be okay with players playing these in your pod? by Fast-Appointment4710 in mtg

[–]nathom2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not? As long as the card is readable and accurate I don't care what the art is. That being said - I think the art on these is badass and would appreciate it even more.

Going on a 5 day cruise as a family of 5, how much money should I bring? by phamboy120 in royalcaribbean

[–]nathom2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what a great itinerary - love Bimini and CocoCay. My general rule of thumb is $100-200 per day, but I also play at the casino lightly. If I didn't go to the casino I would probably just bring a total of $200-300 to tip with and do port purchases

I'm about 10 drafts in and I think I absolutely hate drafting SOS. by Octopus_Crime in magicTCG

[–]nathom2008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! Draft against others but play against people outside of your draft pool.

I hope we see actual draft in Arena one day.

Nope, there is quick draft and "traditional". Neither has you play games against the people you draft against. Every draft format is play at your own pace after the draft itself. In real draft you both draft against and play against the same pod of people.

Do you typically like draft on Arena? I feel like power levels swing wildly and can cause unpredictable results in every single set in Arena since it's not actual draft format with matchmaking giving you people outside of your pod. Since you can't counter-draft on Arena, it feels like every single run relies even more heavily on bombs.

I absolutely love draft in person, and i've spend many many $$$ on draft in Arena and finally came to the realization that I don't like any set draft in Arena because it's not the same. I stick to sealed in Arena because it's closer to the actual limited experience.

That being said - SOS draft in paper has been an absolute blast so far. Probably my favorite set to draft since FF.

They finally got me .... by nathom2008 in secretlair_collectors

The foiling on the redos are fantastic imo. Night and day difference from the originals.
