Also I wouldn't call it an error. It's clearly a marketing thing like the god packs from last block. An easy way to hype up sales a bit and I approve.

You've got to be loving kidding me. I ordered two alt art Ugins from some guy on ebay. He packaged the poo poo out of them, two sleeves in a hard case taped to a piece of cardboard, except he didn't tape over the hard case or put the sleeves in upside down so both loving cards shifted and the tops got stuck to the tape and now the tops have a decent amount of edge wear from the tape. How do you gently caress that up.

I have a box on pre-order so hopefully things look up! Or I just open a box and it's business as usual. Either or works fine.

Hopefully, the misprint run is true for other languages. The box I preordered is a Russian box.

I really don't understand how so many people do it wrong. Whenever I ship something it's, at minimum, in a sleeve and a top loader, with the sleeve opening towards the bottom. If the card shifts then it's only touching the sleeve. It's not like there's a lack of guides on how to ship cards online either.

I'm proud to say that I've gotten compliments on my shipment packaging on my tcgplayer store. I'm a Sleeve, in a hard case. Tape a penny sleeve over the slot in the hard case. Tape the whole thing to an invoice. Fold and tape the invoice. Stuff into a bubble mailer, seal. Bubble mailer into a USPS prepaid shipping envelope, seal.

A friend of mine had some rear end in a top hat on Deckbox ship him a bunch of stuff for an Elspeth in a top-loader placed in the flimsiest manila tissue-paper excuse for an envelope I've ever seen. Somewhere in the USPS sorting system, the hard plastic top-loader sliced its way through the edge and my buddy received an empty envelope with a four-inch gash along one side. Deckbox naturally sides with the shipper because he has a tracking number.

Yawgmoth posted:I would think it would be common sense, but no. I've gotten cards packed in such a way that only by the grace of god did they arrive undamaged. One guy on TCGP sent my cards in a penny sleeve taped to a single top loader sized piece of cardboard cut from a 12 pack container of coke cans. I gave him a poo poo review and he offered a 15% discount of his site in recompense, but when I went to check his site out the registration had expired some 2 months previous. I had one seller just tape basic lands and worthless commons around the card. That was fun to unpack and hope I didn't damage the actual card (the card wasn't sleeved). I imagine if I were to ship any remotely valuable card it would be double sleeved prior to going into a toploader and so on.

It is more yes, but you will 100% guaranteed get 4x of every card where as in 4 boxes you'll end up with a million commons you don't need, 1/2 a million uncommons, duplicates of bad rares, etc. If you want to draft or you are just addicted to cracking packs, go for it. If you want to get the most value out of your money, just buy factory sealed sets if you want 4x everything, or just buy the specific singles you need for whatever deck you are building.

Also you can get the entire set on modo for $79.93. Add redemption fee and shipping and tax and stuff we're talking $110. I'm sure with cube draft ending and 2 ktk packs per draft that will drop a good 15-20% too. But still, why would you want to pay for garbage like empty the pits. Even at the best rate you're spending extra money.

What, this dude? archived bad trader thread Part of why they ruled against him is that J accused the 'rear end in a top hat' of lying, sending an empty envelope pre-torn, and J cancelled the trade immediately, and didn't even try to file a bad trader report or work with him. He also agreed to simulsend and then sat on his end until he got the other guy's cards. They both kinda look like assholes, to me. Other dude for packaging the way he did, your buddy for being a dick when he received it. I'm the guy that corrected the other dude about a tracking number. Sorry your friend's a douche.

I think the sieges fail at weaving story telling into cards. If they didn't explicitly spell out the sides it'd be hard to tell which most modes represented or that they were supposed to at all. Citadel and Frontier Siege -- what a weird/bad(?) card -- are probably the most successful in that regard. And FS achieves this by having "flying matters" on a green card. Also Citadel Siege is going to be straight miserable to play against in limited. (Crux of Fate does the dual foil watermark thing, as well)

I ran into it twice at prerelease and it definitely sucks to see it hit the table. Both sides of it are good in limited. It was bad enough that I felt compelled to board in naturalize just for it. The black one that drains every turn is pretty good too, passive every-turn effects on enchantments are always good in limited.

The red and black ones can be pretty interesting into some game states on both ends, and the green one is super deck dependent. But I played eight games with citadel siege over the course of the PR weekend and it was just super miserable. Really don't like the design space of super hard to deal with limited bombs that rapidly escalate into a foregone conclusion.

Im not terribly familiar with the current meta but I noticed my store's buylist has crux of fate for a few dollars. This looks like sort of a mediocre board wipe thats slightly better than Extinguish All Hope. Am I missing something? (I probably am) I figured it would be a dollar rare but its several dollars?

kizudarake posted:What, this dude? archived bad trader thread Yeah, he's apparently kinda bad about jumping to conclusions and (lookin' at the dates) made that whole post before we reeled him in like "whoa hey dude, that looks a lot more like a postal problem caused by lovely packaging, not sabotage from the outset" but I guess by that point it had already been shuffled to the new dispute system. He's mailing the guy an Elspeth he pulled two days later with a printed copy of deckbox's shipping guidelines, sooooo ANYWAY I think Crux of Fate's target market might lean more towards the casual/EDH crowd who fully intend to slot it in next to Crucible of Fire and Kolagahn.

Only other wraths right now are a 5 mana white one and an artifact that requires 9 mana over 2 turns. There's also enough midrange decks around that a 5 mana wrath isn't as bad as it could be.
