Cool, send me five hundred bucks and I'll send it back to you in a week. That's no problem, right?

It isn't about the 87 cents interest, it's about the 500 dollars that the person doesn't have because they bought something that is now not coming.

If you went and bought a tv or couch or whatever and it was scheduled for delivery, but the company cancelled your order the day before and said you'd get your money back in a week, you'd be chill about that?

How rich are you?

I'm very rich, thanks. My point is in both scenarios you don't have access to the $500. The premise of this whole conversation is that not having the $500 is problematic, in which case you're in trouble as soon as it leaves your account regardless of what you do or do not eventually get in return.

Granted magic cards are more liquid than a couch or whatever.

OBC seems to make a hobby of getting mad about money and then spending a lot of it. Maybe he thought he'd switch it up by getting mad about money and then not spending it.

Nah, the problem is not having the 500 dollars or the thing you paid 500 dollars for. I don't mind not having 500 bucks if I have a tangible thing I value at 500 dollars in exchange. I mind if someone offers me that thing, I give them the money and then I don't get the thing.

As I lumber into middle age, all of my tabletop hobbies are just part of my arch-hobby of being incredibly furious about spending a lot of money.

I'm really pleased with WAR so far. I feel like limited is kind of a dumpster fire because it's "open a bomb rare or die" but the number of good cards in this set is very high and I think WotC did a good job on this one.

I'm sure even folks getting the cards will find a reason to complain. Hasbro posted 9 April to be the estimated delivery date, when it's actually the date everything ships. Folks can expect their cards next week.

I’m genuinely wanting to learn how to play the deck and rapidly getting tired of everyone just trying to score sick owns on people over the value of $500 after getting slapped with a $7500 car repair quote so I figured I’d ask a loving Magic question

The fact that they mention reviewing previous footage suggests that this is a long-standing pattern of behaviour.

Perhaps he has a habit of marking his sleeves after getting deck checked (under the theory that he's not going to get deck checked twice, or if he is he can at least muddy the water with the first check coming up clean).

Is there a good esper superfriends deck yet? I can't really get a sense of the meta yet, besides esper control still being a thing but I don't even know what, if anything, changed with it.
