Opening packs as a child was the bomb, and I hope kids keep getting to feel that. Watching adults throw all their money at packs instead of buying singles makes me sad though.
In summary, I don't care if they do this again.

Now kids today can watch someone else open their packs through an app and then mail it to them later.

lol the guy who opened the Ring sent it to The Professor on June 17th in a 1 second gif asking to connect to Post Malone, which he obviously thought was fake. I think someone even posted his original Tweet in this thread.

I saw a few other hoaxes too. Everyone should have known it was legit though, anyone who takes a picture of a real Magic card makes it look like their lens is covered in wax. If a photo looks too real, it's probably fake.

I hope this is okay to add, but I posted some stuff in the SA-Mart thread because I desperately need cash for some bills.

Rules question: how would effects like Sakiko, Mother of Summer interact with aftermath Tyvar? Would the creatures dealing the damage get counters, would it be Sakiko since she's the one with the mana generation, or would no counters be generated? Trying to decide whether to put her and og Omnath in my Tyvar deck or my hydras deck

Your lovely shrine maiden fox wife, Tamamo no Mae, is here to help!

Sakiko is the one with the ability, she doesn't grant an ability to your other creatures, so she would be the one getting counters.

Skakiko doesn't have a mana ability.

quote:

605. Mana Abilities
605.1. Some activated abilities and some triggered abilities are mana abilities, which are subject to special rules. Only abilities that meet either of the following two sets of criteria are mana abilities, regardless of what other effects they may generate or what timing restrictions (such as “Activate only as an instant”) they may have.
605.1a An activated ability is a mana ability if it meets all of the following criteria: it doesn’t require a target (see rule 115.6), it could add mana to a player’s mana pool when it resolves, and it’s not a loyalty ability. (See rule 606, “Loyalty Abilities.”)
605.1b A triggered ability is a mana ability if it meets all of the following criteria: it doesn’t require a target (see rule 115.6), it triggers from the activation or resolution of an activated mana ability (see rule 605.1a) or from mana being added to a player’s mana pool, and it could add mana to a player’s mana pool when it resolves

Genuinely surprised that doesn’t happen more often. Blows my mind that people blithely carry around eternal format decks “worth” 4-6 figures.

I read the article thanks. If you think the value and ease of stealing these cards is entirely unrelated to the value and ease of stealing constructed decks I don’t know what to tell you.
