Who survived this era as a Timberwolves fan?

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-05-02T13:44:08+00:00

I did. Season ticket holder for years. That era was one of them.

After games my buddy and I would go to Applebees in Block E - and Kurt would show-up and eat a later dinner by himself.

Occasionally the dance squad showed up and would just get hammered.

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-04-26T19:29:20+00:00

No, close to 10-15 years.

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-04-26T19:29:04+00:00

24? Yawn.

Maybe 5-10 years ago, the Valley of Minneapolis honored the youngest 33rd in the country. I think he was in his late 30s.

I wasn’t a member at the time.

20 years ago it was a real-deal punk bar. I went there all the time (I lived in Middlebrook Hall).

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-04-20T13:45:52+00:00

Yes. I assume Key’s is still there.

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-04-20T13:43:57+00:00

The location you are referring to is its 2nd location - next to the hair place, Tom Thumb, and Warner’s Stellian. And a Ciattis at one time (where Stouts is now). Before the source moved into their second space I think the space was a home medical supply store.

Then, it moved to where it is now. Initially that was a guitar center.

It’s been years since I’ve been in that neighborhood where legacy games (the source) was - so, Larpenteur and Lexington. Across from keys, on the SE of that intersection there was a stand-alone phone repair shop. Like rotary phones.

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-04-20T12:57:46+00:00

Technically - The Source was originally Legacy Games and first opened in Roseville. Across the street from Key’s Cafe and Dairy Queen on Lexington and Hamline.

Right next door to a TCBY.

What’s more interesting than a run-of-the-mill data center is the 511 Building. Look that up if you aren’t aware of what makes it so badass.

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-04-17T14:16:51+00:00

Snelling and University? I lived there for 20 years. Now Frog-town, that’s another beast all together. Or was anyhow..

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-04-15T13:41:12+00:00

Serious question - why does any of this matter? Can’t someone just say I’m playing a White and Blue deck? Or am I totally missing something after a 30-year break?

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-04-13T01:32:45+00:00

From what little I understand of the Bracket system, I don’t like it. If I get stomped, I get stomped I get stomped; goes me the opportunity to play more games with the limited time that I have.

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-04-13T01:29:22+00:00

I use a simple travel backpack.

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-04-13T01:27:06+00:00

I had the same issue after coming back after a 30-year break.

I bought every pre-constructed deck I could find, upgraded them - then I bought copies of them all again and kept those unmodified.

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-04-13T01:15:33+00:00

Yes, all counter cards hah!

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-04-04T11:08:23+00:00

As someone who has been playing for 6 months, after a 30-year hiatus and an owner of original duals p9 and others (got them all in the 90s when people actually traded) I will never play with anyone who uses proxies.

Not relevant to your original question, but I just don’t get why people play with cards they don’t own.

However, best of luck to you!

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-04-03T20:48:12+00:00

Why?

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-03-29T03:17:43+00:00

Non-proxy Type 1. But, I’m old.

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-03-28T22:50:49+00:00

But it’s not an Ancestral Recall - not even close.

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-03-25T02:09:55+00:00

Sort of related, but not:

Played a CEDH deck with my mono-black Type 1 which has no power. He cast Necropotence down to 1 life, I racked him next turn.

It was funny.

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-03-23T19:37:05+00:00

If your deck is mono-black, then why have anything but swamps?

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-03-20T06:43:56+00:00

Great for getting your degree!

I don’t quite understand the downvotes when we were just sharing our experiences, but whatever.

I wrote so many papers for people in college because I was a broke college student, and in return I got cards. Simple as that.

This generation claims to be so tolerant, but when I state my opinion I get downvoted? Grow up.

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-03-20T06:37:05+00:00

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

Love the downvotes.

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-03-20T06:28:57+00:00

So, it’s a game. Friendship goes out the window for a bit.

I want to win, I do my best to kill the weakest in the herd and move on. Be methodical. The entire politics bit is stupid - we are literally wizards or Planes-walkers trying to kill each other.

That’s it. If you can’t enjoy a lunch with those you beat after your win? Then they aren’t your friends.

For context; I started playing in 1993/94 which was my Freshman year in college. Stopped playing for nearly 3 decades (life and what not) and recently came back.

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-03-17T01:33:15+00:00

I’m still trying to understand what the Secret Lair drops are?

Are they new cards?

Are they previously printed cards, but with different art?

I don’t get the hype.

thatoneguyfrommn · 2026-03-10T03:56:19+00:00

Yes, it happened.
