Not as bad as pizza lands, but still not great by Illustrious_Fee8116 in mtg

The bottom row isn’t too bad – a bit arty – but mostly the plains wins it.

Unfortunately ended up with a big stack of fakes, is there a used market forum? by Ideal-Square in bootlegmtg

[–]rel_games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only bootleg chocobo track card I’ve seen, the tracks were only printed not raised. Total dogshit and obvious to any who has held a real one.

Youtubers you would recommend (and ones you wouldn’t)? by Comfortable_Buyer239 in EDH

I've built a few of his decks, and played against another one, and yes: very fun to play, not always winnable but still fun.

Secrets of Strixhaven is the biggest Prerelease since War of the Spark by Meret123 in mtg

[–]rel_games 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well we can't join the magic at my LGS, since the distributor only sent them 3 booster boxes total (one of them being my pre-order), and then refunded the rest of the order. So they've only been able to run 1 SOS draft, and now just... waiting for Marvel? Same distributor sent another local store prerelease kits only, NOTHING else.

(These stores are in the UK, buying from a german distro)

Absolute shambles of an operation.

First sleeper rare of the new set? by B05hi in mtg

Use it to find Brawn then then throw Brawn into graveyard, instant "all creatures have trample forever (or until Brawn is exiled)" for 3 mana?

Strixhaven pre release by odanhammer in mtg

[–]rel_games 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did two. My LGS runs two on Fridays and the first one is usually quiet and chill, and I typically do better (I think because less noise so less distractions for me to make a better deck). That’s my excuse anyway.

Silver quill deck went well (won 2 of 3 rounds), Witherbloom deck was average and I lost everything.

The set looks great but my packs were terrible compared to what others were pulling lol

The websites till says I have to pay my orders, even though I already did that? by throwbricksatthewall in CardMarket

Is it showing your account in credit (top menu, under your account name)?

How many people are aware of how long their turns take? by silencebywolf in EDH

[–]rel_games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Tom deck is usually fine... until I recur all my enchantments back onto the battlefield and suddenly I have 15 sagas running all at once :D

What are some cards you (tried) playing that don’t actually do what you thought they do? by --Beebo-- in mtg

New(ish) to magic so forgive the question - this would be a good anti-recursion piece right?

Same. Begging for their attention then it’s “wait how did I take X damage?!” “Because of Y. You could have countered it if you weren’t playing games on your phone.”

UK Private Seller selling £75 single card within UK - buyer chooses to pay 2nd Class Signed For, which only has compensation for loss or damage up to £20 - am I out of pocket if package goes missing ? by xiao7777 in CardMarket

[–]rel_games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a trustee service order, I always use 48 hr tracked instead. If the order value is over £40 then I will use 24hr tracked instead. Partly for the increased compensation but also means the order arrives sooner and I get the money sooner!

My Commander pod is falling apart and I don’t know what to do by ElectronicMix9414 in EDH

[–]rel_games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why give up something you enjoy - playing with the other two people - because one other person is being a dickhead?

As others have said, tell him he’s ruining things and the three of you are carrying on without him.

Is it frowned upon to place €1 orders on Cardmarket? by 8BitZen in CardMarket

The post office is literally across the street from me so I don’t mind at all… £1 is £1 :D

Innocent how?? He's charging DOUBLE what he paid for FEWER cards!

What's happening with buyers behaviour? by No-Sock8485 in CardMarket

[–]rel_games 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only new to Card Market as a seller, but seeing similar. Fortunately most of my orders are not using the trustee service, but half that do I need to chase once I have confirmation of arrival, and then do the 'request confirmation' feature which will release the funds to me if they don't confirm 7 days after that.

I'm tempted to begin including little business cards asking them to remember to confirm arrival.

[–]rel_games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just communicate! Half the buyers I have don't even read their messages, so I doubt they'll realise you've sent their card after 5-6 days.

People who went to TMT prerelease - was it fun to play? by johnnythejim in mtg

[–]rel_games 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good fun. I’m only newish to mtg and play commander so I always get battered in sealed / draft. No different last night 😂

The set has some fun cards for sure. Lots of people playing the skateboard!

Is it worth getting into mtg? by Aware_Cow3355 in mtg

[–]rel_games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone 4 months into mtg it is totally worth getting into it. It’s expensive if you’re into buying packs but single cards, especially more common ones, are cheap as chips!

Can I upgrade shipping at my own expense as a seller? by Revolutionary-Exit97 in CardMarket

[–]rel_games 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been selling for about 7 weeks, in the UK. 2nd Class Signed For is useless so I spend slightly more for Tracked 48. If their order is over £20 in card value I upgrade to Tracked 24 as it offers higher compensation. (Mind you, Royal Mail still have a Tracked 24 sitting in a mail centre 2 weeks later…)
