I’m on the east side now and it’s just like, uncles and Mbh. I don’t think any will be cool with sanctioned play and proxies, but I doubt anyone would care if you’re there for commander.

yeah, MBH is not cool with proxies on any night which tracks. most legacy or vintage nights will let you but i hate those formats. I may just print a mengucube and try to get a vintage pod going now that I've proven out the process of making playing cards

Plays largely similar and there's even been a few crossover promo sets https://www.ebay.com/itm/334358649248 It's been pretty successful and the anime has something over 200 episodes.

I haven't watched it but it's funny that the Shadowverse anime is about people playing the TCG and not whatever the in-universe Shadowverse setting is

There eventually was a manga about dumb teenagers playing magic in 1999, which imho owns. I would love to see either an anime that goes full Yugioh where it's people playing the cards but somehow magic is real through the cards, or an anime about the setting's story. Either would be hilarious.

The Chandra manga feels like it takes inspiration from Slayers. That's good.

That's a shame, because the etched foils from CMR were gorgeous, and afaik the ones from baldurs gate aren't nearly as nice as those either.

And it's something I might do, I think I'm going to start with MenguCube just because it's a recognizable brand that people probably don't already have and I already put the 6 or 7 hours or whatever it took to process everything in the order to the final preview and price stage ($122 bux + ship for a 540 cube btw) leaving it a one-click buy. At the post-sleeve and box cost of roughly $200, I can see myself doing it again if I can get a cube group going. Figure "have power cube, will travel" will be an easy enough way to wrangle together a vintage cube pod in the city prolly bird. fucked around with this message at 09:12 on Aug 8, 2022 |

This is an incredible subtle thing to be their big hyped feature in videos I've seen the textureds look real nice, but I suppose holding them under a light really shows it off more than just general handling. also, if it is, congrats on your $$$

They look very different from other foils, but the etched effect is so minor they don't stand out much from the regular cards. With the Seal in particular, unless you angle it in the light it just looks like the normal one with darker text boxes. I mean yeah, considering I was opening a collector's pack I should have realized I guess.

Yeah, the only foils are Lilliana, Wren and the three eldrazi. It's more noticeable in the light since it looks like they're covered in thumbprints.

The Manga is great because, among other things, it has a secondary character give an impassioned anime speech about how they've been practicing, and they have improved as a person, etc etc, then kill their opponent on turn 1 with a degenerate "tinker into Memory Jar" deck.

Does anyone happen to know who was the youngest person to play a Pro Tour event? I think my friend's brother was at one point (at 12 years old in 2000) and I'm curious if that's still the case. My Google searches came up with nothing specific.

It's hard for me to imagine what an appealing MTG show/book/etc would even look like. The world it would have to be built around is an unfortunate mix of shallow themes delivered in a serious tone. Seems like it would just come out looking like a marvel movie. I'd want something that connects with the levity and spirit of the game itself. Like, how do you incorporate the feeling of suddenly stumbling upon an emergent and unique game state and the fascination of seeing how it resolves? Without just doing some approximation of Yu-gi-Oh? Maybe it should be a heist movie....
