You can talk about anything to do with Magic in this thread, but there are some other threads focused on specific areas of Magic play that you may also enjoy:

This is the general magic thread, people can post commander stuff here, please do not gatekeep the thread thanks.

Has anyone here had experience with insuring a MTG collection? I'm looking to insure my collection and finding agents that have no clue what to do with a MTG collection, and giving ridiculous terms for doing so (at least in Canada).

Any advice people can give on this?

I think often there's a limit on your policy for sports cards and collectibles. Ask your agent what that limit is and if necessary you'll need an endorsement to increase it to the value of your collection. Mine was that way anyway

Given the current political/economic climate, axing Russia is a no-brainer. The other two are... hmmm.

Every foreign company working in Russia bears extreme reputation risk for funding the war with taxes and business risks regarding getting their income out due to some major banks cut from SWIFT.

I personally think that private businesses cutting off their ties (and thus hurting their profits) from a country engaging in an insane war of conquest (and possibly genocide) and making it minorly inconvenient (we are talking about buying magic cards ffs) for a segment of its population to carry on like nothing is happening, is pretty good.

e: in any event I doubt WotC is cancelling Russian language products over the war, last I checked China and Korea weren't actively at war with anyone else and considering all three decisions came down at once, it's probably some kind of number-crunching thing that will marginally increase profits or whatever

Hey OK so we don't all agree on politics in here, but that's OK, because this is the magic thread and not C-SPAM or D&D. If you'd like to discuss the badness of Wizards of the Coast I think the Industry thread is sorta-acceptable. Don't have that fight here.
