Arguably whale products are more ethical than standard price products, as a casino for adults is clearly more morally defensible than a casino for children.

Reik posted:If I had $4,000 to spend on magic the gathering cards I would end up putting a lot more singles in to the market by buying double masters booster boxes than I would by buying VIP booster boxes, and the singles I would be putting in to the market would mostly be the least expensive form of the single available, making the game overall more affordable. If I had a spare $4k to drop on magic I would just buy a legacy deck.

For $4k I’d buy thousands of Guy Teferi proxy alters and donate them to children throughout the land

What's special about the "Set" version, is it like a stepping stone between regular boosters and collectors?

Captain Invictus posted:I enjoy crackin' packs and I don't wanna buy old singles Set Boosters are packs that WotC is designing specifically for people who enjoy cracking packs. Draft boosters are for drafters, collectors boosters are for collectors and flippers, and Set Boosters are for folks who like that pack cracking excitement. Where Draft Boosters look like this: 1 rare/mythic, 3 uncommons, 10 commons, chance of foil of any rarity that replaces a common, a basic land, a token/ad. Set Boosters look like this: 1 rare/mythic, 6 commons and uncommons that are thematically linked, 1 showcase or alternate art card, 2 wildcards of any rarity, 1 foil of any rarity, 1 basic land, an Art card (like in Modern Horizons) but these can be gold "signed" art cards, 1 token/ad that has a 25% chance of being a random card from THE LIST. So you get 12 cards instead of 15, but you can strike gold an pull up to 4 rares/mythics in a pack as well as get cards from THE LIST. Set Boosters are more expensive too, a box is probably going to be around $140 instead of $100, and a box contains 30 packs instead of 36. https://blog.cardkingdom.com/mtg-booster-pack-guide/

WOTC just replied to my ticket confirming the UPC thing, so looks like I'm getting 44 Double Masters booster packs as well, sweet.

Draft boosters are for drafters, collectors boosters are for collectors and flippers, and Set Boosters are for folks who like that pack cracking excitement. the only box purchase I regret was a collector box of Throne of Eldraine. That thing was such a dumpster fire I don't think I'll ever buy a collector pack again just because I've seen how bad it can possibly get. the most valuable card I got in all twelve packs was a full art Royal Scions in one of the three nonfoil slots, absolutely nothing of note otherwise. Lotta pretty commons, though. I like the idea of the unique alt art for each set thing they had going on with it and ikoria. edit: evilweasel posted:my man you have clearly taken a sniff of cocaine and just jumped straight into diving into piles of that poo poo Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Aug 28, 2020 |

Captain Invictus posted:Apparently it's also happening to Amonkhet, I had the booster box listing on amazon wishlisted at 140 and it just loving vanished alongside every other amonkhet listing basically overnight, and now the boxes are pushing 200 on ebay. Would there be any reason for the sudden spike in interest in Amonkhet? In Arena, and so I assume also in paper, Amonkhet just became legal in Historic and everyone is drafting it and having fun doing their not-Egypt magic stuff. I would assume that might add significant popularity to Amonkhet cards which could affect pricing?

How exactly were you expecting people to take the post of your haul from your 4 thousand plus dollar magic excursion. What thoughts are there other than "wow you spent a lot of money on cardboard" or "wow good job opening them packs". Like there is a selling/trading thread if your goal was to get people interested in your cards, otherwise you are just bragging about your scratch off winnings.

I think it's fine for Captain Invictus to show us his haul. It's cool. And I've seen him do the same thing with for example Reaper Bones kickstarters, and he generally profits off of these endeavors. TheKingofSprings posted:Historic isn’t currently a paper format ahh, OK, well that still might be stimulating interest because it's showcasing the art and so on. As a Tomb Kings player in Warhams, I for one fuckin' love Amonkhet and am considering buying some paper even though I haven't played a paper magic game in like 15 years.

don’t talk about your conspicuous consumption in the thread dedicated to conspicuous consumption. the only ethical way to play magic is to dumpster dive bulk behind card kingdom or cards left on tables after a draft. if you’ve spent a dime on cards you should be guillotined

Framboise posted:I'm in the wrong field. It's a nice gig when you can get it, but unreliable. Even at $1/word, you can't get enough of that work to make it anything other than a side hustle. And lots of places that pay that well treat freelancing as a "friends and family" welfare system. One year, my family was going through a rough transition I got lots of work from an old newspaper colleague. We've steadied the boat, and now some other newspaper expat who needs it is getting that work. But as long as my friend has that job, it'll be there again if things turn.

Everything I've seen about Arena vs paper MTG with regards to customer communication reminds me all too closely of my own company, which produces multiple software applications that are technically compatible and interdependent but are actually produced by teams who hate each other and want nothing to do with each other.
