If it was taller or older it'd be legendary!

SCG has had pretty great customer service in my experience and grades their cards very well. Did you find you had to get to the venue any significant amount of time earlier than usual? It says it starts at 10, which I take to understand means the player meeting is at 9, so I was thinking of just getting there between 8 or 8:30.

Yeah you'll be fine, you could even grab it after the player meeting but before round 1 if you wanted to. I always just got my stuff before the meeting started just in case I had to change my decklist but it's never been an issue, just go up to the counter like everyone else and tell whoever helps you that you need to pick an order up.

They ship pretty fast, the cards are actually in the listed condition, and they fix fuckups with their orders fast.

To expand on this, I always buy a ton of poo poo when they have their MP sales because MP to them is what a lot of small shops call LP, plus they discount heavily for each decrease in grade. I'm in NC and almost always get my order within 2 business days of purchase. One time someone from SCG actually called me on the phone because I had moved and my billing address and mailing address were different and they wanted to make sure I had made the purchase and that the cards were going to the right place.

Channel fireball damaged is one of the best kept secrets around. They even have to offload them on tcgplayer a lot of the time. I routinely load up the channel fireball store on tcgplayer and sort by damaged. I have bought 100's of damaged cards at this point. Not a single one was even close to unplayable.

That and I keep an eye on the CFB ebay page, they'll often put items up for auction instead of just BIN and you can get a great deal. The HP/damaged case SCG has at events is usually great too if you can find the good stuff before everyone else does, like creased sleeve playable bayous for $80.

Walked posted:Are CFB Damaged generally / always sleeve playable? I couldn't care less what it looks like if it's going to be playable.. Sleeve playable? In my experience its more like "how is this below mp?". I bought a damaged torch of defiance for 12 backs months back. It showed up loving foil without the smallest bit of warping. I don't know what the hell is going on.

Ah neat, Angrath is a minotaur planeswalker. First one, I think?Sickening posted:Sleeve playable? In my experience its more like "how is this below mp?". Only real bad one was a Sword of War and Peace sold at SP that was pretty flatly MP, but given it was besides a Narset sold at MP that was minty I was like GAF. edit: Lol how many people will misread Headstrong Brute on first pass

Some Numbers posted:I'm a bit weirded out by the lack of any WU card at any rarity. So WU just happened to get left out. Kinda wondering if the draft archetypes won't favor WU too. On that note, man explore is pretty costly. Either it's massively better than it looks at first blush (could be) or some of these were just printed to be unplayable. I thought at first explore/treasure would be way to ramp up to dinosaurs, but that 6 cmc vampire with explore just seems kinda pointless.

Some Numbers posted:I'm a bit weirded out by the lack of any WU card at any rarity. The only BG card is Vraska, because Vraska is literally Golgari. Every other multicolor card is part of one of the four factions. Every UB, UR, BR, and UBR card is a pirate. Both UG cards are Merfolk and WB cards result in Vampires with Lifelink. There's no WU card because there's no faction with WU in it.

Digging the idea of these commons with the 8 mana activated abilities so you have something to do with all these treasures that are piling up, but worried that they're not enough, especially in the pirate colours.
