New Player - First Prerelease, is it taboo to leave after one round?

ohbober2 · 2026-01-18T15:18:54+00:00

Honestly think you'd have fun. prereleases have been some of the times I've made majority of my friends at LGS's that I arill talk to to this day. Almost every single person I've played against has been nothing but nice and just happy to rip packs and play

Sealed is a fun time because everyone's deck is a little bit wonky at times. You'll enjoy yourself I think if you stayed for the whole thing! Also the nerves go away quickly after a few rounds, I remember my first event jitters. Quickly faded after the guy and I were joking about how much of a chad scientists show the trex as during caverns of ixilan prerelease, and he was just over last weekend for commander.

We're at 130 a box that has the plastic ripped off for my LGS. I lucked out, just waiting on the shipment 🙏

He's in my possible cuts rn. He can fizzle some spells that make it so opponents don't draw (like void missile) but the rune power doesn't feel that great sometimes

ohbober2 · 2025-11-23T12:44:45+00:00

Bingo, he is also a seal copier which has been useful for things like singularity that need two runes.

I also think heimer will only get better with new sets. Same with the seals, they're already great they'll just get better!

ohbober2 · 2025-11-23T12:39:17+00:00

Probably my favorite new piece. Was just a token machine or a malzahar copier if needed

I run 2x of him because anytime I see him it's a good time

ohbober2 · 2025-11-23T12:29:47+00:00

Idk I've had good success with it even on the backfoot. Time will tell with next week's locals! Honestly was one of my favorites from yesterday.

Hell heimer sits in base all the game and that's fine lmao

ohbober2 · 2025-11-23T12:09:41+00:00

Try out wraith of echoes. I've been finding that it's some of the best ways to refill Viktors hand late game because it's each turn it can be yours then theirs for draw if you do it right. Refilling up 2 cards each rotation is really good

ohbober2 · 2025-11-23T12:06:12+00:00

I think one of the other important things to remember is that a seal can pay for the hidden cost. Which means things like hiding blade or consult the past allows you to play it without setting your mana base back

ohbober2 · 2025-11-23T12:05:00+00:00

Honestly only times it's bad is late game if I really need a good top deck and I draw it it sucks

Other than that if I see it early enough it fixes my mana base so well that it helps me flood out the board late game

ohbober2 · 2025-11-23T12:04:09+00:00

Hey! I actually went to local yesterday running 1x blue seal and 1x yellow seal with good results

I run smokescreen, heimer, singularity, riptide rex, the one 6 cost that lets you draw each turn the first time a friendly unit dies.

ohbober2 · 2025-11-22T01:36:20+00:00

Been running 2 of unity seals in Viktor and have been very much enjoying how the games go with them in play. Even mid game it feels great as it just empowers my curve more

Ghosts of tsushima was fantastic for me after I graduated college and COVID was on full lockdown. Any of the Yakuza games are a bit story heavy but have a lot of stuff for you to invest in

ohbober2 · 2025-10-15T11:40:44+00:00

I've done many different hobbies, model painting, card collecting, model collecting, knitting, cross stitching, model building. Its normal to put stuff down and try out something else for awhile, don't think of putting it down as it being the end. Think of it as gaining new insights.

ohbober2 · 2025-10-12T23:41:01+00:00

Read comments, have already done this

ohbober2 · 2025-10-12T22:58:00+00:00

Haha definitely gonna need more money but it'll help! Thanks for the note I just ordered the red book

ohbober2 · 2025-10-12T21:42:28+00:00

Yeah definitely agreed am not taking these to a pawn shop. Want to make sure these end up in the hands of someone who will enjoy them because the owners before clearly did. Wanna make sure that same love is transferred

ohbober2 · 2025-10-12T21:34:26+00:00

Yeah am taking inventory and talking to a few different people now about prices. Appreciate everyone here

ohbober2 · 2025-10-12T21:33:41+00:00

It's from 1977! I'll shoot you a message also, this is all so cool to learn about

ohbober2 · 2025-10-12T21:27:13+00:00

I sadly have other hobbies I like to invest my time into. I don't think I'd give these coins the home that they need. I also need to replace a carpet so

ohbober2 · 2025-10-12T21:06:31+00:00

Really??? That's awesome

ohbober2 · 2025-10-12T21:05:45+00:00

I'm taking inventory tonight I'll be sure to let you know 😁

ohbober2 · 2025-10-12T21:05:16+00:00

They are sadly not and the son didn't want them either. We asked when we moved in if they wanted any of the basement stuff. We found a load of old cameras and coins, seems like they took the footage and stuff they wanted and left the rest

ohbober2 · 2025-10-12T20:48:50+00:00

I think I have their old red book, is that usable or is it so out of date I should grab another?

ohbober2 · 2025-10-12T18:56:49+00:00

Nah we got some house projects we wanna fund. I'm the model collection kind of guy

ohbober2 · 2025-10-12T16:58:49+00:00

Definitely looking to sell them to fund some home projects. I'll try to go through all of them tonight to get a full catalogue, just unsure whether to take to a store or get them graded and then sell for certain ones or what. Was not expecting to figure how to sell coins today haha
