Of course if you want to be fully protected you put each of those triple-sleeved cards inside a hard toploader.

I mean, sure, your deck will be ten inches tall, but you can't be too careful.

This is what people do for their legacy decks in the philippines.

Are there clear sleeves designed to go over top of normal sized sleeves (which could have perfect fits inside them already) to protect them or did I just imagine that in a fever dream?

They totally exist, primarily because art sleeves with pretty pictures on them are universally terrible quality and will flake, deform and split when given the slightest chance. So if you want your animu girlfriend sleeves to keep looking good, you need to sleeve the sleeves...

All this talk about card protection is making me think about getting a new binder.
How's this for cringe:
I'm currently using an old 3 ring with some ultrapro pages, I have a bunch of 30-40 dollar rares in there, no sleeves.

My shocklands and fetches are also stuck in stacks of 2, again no sleeves.

Any suggestions on better practice besides get a not poo poo binder?

I do this. The entire binder is full of playsets of expensive poo poo. Its secretly cool since it shows you have so much money you don't care about your cards. :thumbsup:

You can keep using the 3-ring binder and pages (assuming it's not too bulky for you) but at least sleeve those cards.

Well obviously the camera isn't pointed directly at the card. It's viewing a proxy resting on top of an opaque humidor.

It is not a weight difference you can actually feel without a scale.

Foils do weigh more than regular cards but we're talking fractions of grams here. Unnoticeable to a human scaling by hand.

I think you get them a bit later on at night as morning comes in non-PST regions or sites update at midnight EST, etc. It's a bit early when you posted it.

Random thought: In Tempest Remastered, I hope they print Portcullis as a mythic. That card was an insane limited bomb, though not unbeatable since it requires that you be ahead on board when you play it, and it's hard but not impossible to get around it (for example with creature removal).

They seem to be pretty good at balancing Limited only environments (mostly, putting Battle Screech at Common in VMA, down from Uncommon in Judgement, is probably their biggest miss from what I've heard) so if it's in the set it'll probably be at an appropriate rarity.

I dunno if they would print more combo pieces for Hidetsugu's Second Rite, but if they did the deck becomes that much more unbeatable.

I think I like original Kolaghan better, but Dragonlord Kolaghan sure does clobber the poo poo out of the mirror match if it hits the table. What a weird ability.

EDIT: Clearly there needs to be a deck with both Kolaghan and Ob Nixilis, so your opponent can crack a fetch, cast a spell and die on the spot.

Actually, I think that's a mistranslation, judging by a google translate of the original article, and of the card. It should be if they cast a copy of a spell that's in *their* graveyard, which seems a lot better.

Nevermind the second ability, a 6/5 that goes fast and gives everything else fast is radical.

Yeah, it seems like it from what I'm seeing, but I'm not sure, I don't speak Spanish.

"Magic cards use the less formal "tu" for Spanish rules text for "you", and "su" for "his/her" to avoid this ambiguity."
