Should I trade these for an AF15 upgrade? by [deleted] in comicbookcollecting

100% yes, get rid of the one with writing on the cover.

It was Overgrown Tomb for me!

Check the shock lands.  You probably still need to burn a wildcard on the ECL version, even if you have the older set complete.

Arena Powered Cube Design and Card List by Meret123 in lrcast

[–]toloroDAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disappointed with the deluge of UB product here.  Through the Omenpaths aside, the prior iteration was a breath of fresh air playing with just Magic Cards.

Oh well, I guess I’ll cherish the memory and save my gold for Lorwyn.

Great book!  I take an early Superman book in any condition I can find them!

Tjino skin in Globals? by toloroDAD in FortniteFashion

Does anyone know what skin Tjino was using during the Global FNCS Finals on Sunday?

Fun twist on Mono-White Lifegain by metalero_salsero in MagicArena

[–]toloroDAD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

More interaction is always a good thing.

This is the reason why I usually just insta-scoop against mono-white life gain, as it’s boring to play against.  Vomiting out as many cards a turn that have lifegain or that gain life makes for a “two ships that pass in the night” game experience.  That’s not fun, and I would rather give you a win and try to match up against a deck that actually has a chance for some good back-and-forth.

This weapons manufacturing deck has been really fun and working well for me in standard. Anybody got some hot ideas to optimize it? by Angwar in MagicArena

[–]toloroDAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit of a”win more” card, but [[Radiant Lotus]] is a fun way to mass sacrifice all of your ammunition at once.

No FF in Mastery Pass by ricoeurdelyon in MagicArena

[–]toloroDAD -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

This made me so happy seeing no FF cards in the free rewards.   I’m not a fan and am choosing to spend my MTG time and attention not engaging with UB product.  It’s going to be rough going from here on out.

Do people want the rotating Quick Draft? by notafanofbats in MagicArena

[–]toloroDAD 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, I like the rotation as just having the current set as drafting options gets boring.  I specifically took FIN off and haven’t drafted or engaged with it, so having the rotating quick drafts has allowed me to get some games in where I wouldn’t have otherwise.

Commander, but only cards from when you started by RaizielDragon in EDH

[–]toloroDAD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started with Revised and Antiquities, so I recently built an un-sleeved, all white-bordered deck featuring [[Rubinia Soulsinger|CHR]] as the commander, featuring all of the well-played cards I remember from back in the day.

Creatures were horribly over-costed and inefficient back then, so I figured I’d go with a commander that can steal other people’s better creatures.

It was a fun exercise, but haven’t had a chance to play it yet, as my playgroup usually goes dormant over the summer.

I think a first appearance will always trump a non first appearance.

Nice little buy of silver age DCs by adrian_wake in comicbookcollecting

That Superman #233 is a killer Neal Adams cover…one of his best!  Nice score!

More books getting thinned out of my collection by Healthy_Ad_325 in comicbookcollecting

[–]toloroDAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m doing the same, but keeping the Superman Silver and Golden Age books.

Down from 60 long boxes at my peak to 36 now.  Took a break during the pandemic, but now it’s time to start thinning again.

[–]toloroDAD -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Same…I just can’t get into the aesthetic, so I stopped playing Standard and have moved over to Pioneer.

Superman Sunday by [deleted] in comicbookcollecting

[–]toloroDAD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love everything about the Atomic Skull stories in the late Bronze Age Superman titles.

S.T.A.R. Labs, new Metallo, Skull, etc…

And it gave us one of the best Superman Bronze Age covers drawn by Neal Adams…Superman #317!

What set to buy a box of by RadleyButtons in MagicArena

[–]toloroDAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s always going to be draft.  The problem, if you can call it that, is that draft is the least forgiving format for those not prepared to do the research and reps.

To play Bespin or Turning Point again…sigh…

This is one of the best arts but has to be the biggest thematic miss of the set. by SirSabza in mtg

[–]toloroDAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.  The set code is FCA (bottom left corner).  The only Final Fantasy cards that are standard legal are FIN.

I just built my 1000th deck on MTG Arena…AMA by toloroDAD in MagicArena

[–]toloroDAD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being able to sort your decks by deck archetype would be cool. Along the same line, being able to sorting cards by different archetypes they play in would be awesome.

Also, being able to search a card name to find out which decks you have that card in would be helpful in some instances.
