didn't they do M&Ms with the magic M on them once when there was an Innistrad set release around halloween? e: honestly, missed opportunity not to have done edible food tokens at Eldraine pre-release.

Jesus lol it is so obvious that this is going to ruffle some feathers why even bother doing it lol. Like weigh the payoff of it going right vs the controversy if it goes wrong and it’s not even close.

You have to knock on your LGS door and say a password. Just be careful. I hear the DCI is cracking down on illegal tournament materials left and right.

Paper FNM / pre-releases are still pretty much dead around here anyway. Actually I have no idea whether our one big local LGS is doing them again now, but I'm not going back to spend 5 hours in a literal basement with a crowd of people right now.

During Crimson Vow one of the LGSes had "blood wine" served at the prerelease. Don't think that was WPN approved though. This whole drug thing when there's probably kids involved in pre-releases/FNM is kinda weird though.

You joke, but my flgs cannot run a tournament where there is a limited portion and a constructed portion in the same tournament (sort of like a worlds championship) because wiz does not allow that with the tournament software and its expressly forbidden to do so.

The other Academic you can order multiples of. all the early birds are gone now and basically nobody is happy since a ton of people tried to back it for those and KS's shitbox site couldn't handle it and almost nobody had their backing processed. prof should probably just change it to a kickstarter exclusive signed version rather than a limited run thing at this point, so people can choose between the special and regular editions at will.

Kickstarter desperately needs a queue system. I tried from literally the second it started to the moment they were all sold out and I never even had a shot. Still got the standard box because at the end of the day it's just a signature stamp, but drat.

For tournament deck , the sidewinder was already the best deck you could buy and I don’t know how it could be improved at all. Is there something about this deck box that makes it amazing for commander?

Honestly it's probably too big for a tournament setting, but if you need to carry two decks or an EDH one I can't think of a better one, based on the features they crammed into it. But is it 45 dollars better? That's a personal call.

The little magnetic sides on the token drawers so they can be pulled out more easily was my favorite part.

I found green and black ones for sale a while ago. The black ones were okay, but you don't remember how slippery they were when they were brand new. Quality control wasn't what it is now, so there's little bumps sometimes, a couple of sleeves aren't cut right, etc. The green ones are super warped, they're basically only useable for tokens and other stuff I'll never shuffle; but they're a later model of those sleeves.

I like the banner on his landing image that says "Funded in 17 minutes!". Great great call not announcing the stretch goals to start so they can move those goal posts. That press-release is hilarious imo. And the notion makes enough sense. "Enjoy this theme that swaps out drugs for candy, but try to keep it relatively kid friendly" is the same kind of thing you get with kids playing pirates. Or that whole musical, Bugsy Malone where a bunch of kids are mafia members who throw pie to off one another. Could have been worded better, but ah well. Amusing to read as is.

What is the point of having a thing in your deck box that holds dice, you're not just bringing your deckbox to the tournament/store/whatever right? Just put your dice in a thing in your bag. Topic locked.

When I was a kid my dad and neighbor collab'd to make me a briefcase with nice custom lacquered wood deck holders mounted to one side. It held 4x Dragon Skin boxes which held 75 sleeved cards each and still had the perfect amount of room to fit my trade binder. I usually had 2-3 decks and the 4th slot had a giant spin-down D20 and a Spree tin full of glass beads.
