Captain Invictus posted:some magic stuff The One Ring is the dumbest ploy by wotc in a while, and that's including those fancy expensive reprints of cards that you can't use as legal proxies for those same cars making them loving useless to ever even purchase in the first place so why do they exist, wizards, why would you ever do that! Why do they routinely expect people to seriously bring cards worth thousands, sometimes even tens of thousands, of dollars to a tournament to play if they want to play them, cards they occasionally still support but refuse to ever reprint and generally really shy away from ever allowing proxies of. They don't even profit from nerds selling their expensive cards! But, right, The One Ring. It's got like a million dollar bounty on it, and a bunch of magic nerds are so excited for this they've been eagerly talking about what properties wotc should do this with next, like a full 1 of 1 set of the infinity stones from marvel or some poo poo, and the hype for it all is really disgusting. Wizards should not be able to literally just print a card for like, ten cents, that's just worth a million dollars because they say so.

on the other hand, a one of one version of the one ring that people are willing to kill each other over is extremely on brand for the one ring it also looks really cool with raised gold etched foiling on it, but since they showed what it looks like in a livestream a million counterfeits instantly manifested into existence lol for real though it's not that big a deal. the one ring exists as a normal card and can be found in regular boosters, the 1 of 1 version is only in collector packs, there's no reason to freak out over it. it's a pretty brilliant marketing play, and even when the real one does get found, there's still the 300 elven rings, 700 dwarven rings, and 900 human rings to find, so the chase continues even past that. let the people going nuts for expensive limited run versions of regular cards do that, it just means more packs get opened which in turn means the overall cost of most cards goes down for regular players. outside of a few exceptions(sheoldred, wandering emperor, etc), most rares and mythics that are important for most decks from recent sets are very affordable, and it's almost entirely because of the glut of rares and mythics that collector and set boosters vomit forth.

It's not that cool though given how it's absolutely turbo hosed the prices of packs that, allegedly, contain the card even more so than the markets for new sets usually are. They're basically loving over their entire consumer base for the sake of the hype and marketing towards the growing market of online streamers and gamblers who treat magic as an investment rather than a trading card game. The argument that everyone should just wait to feed on the scraps of everyone who could afford these bloated prices after opening day and they pick out everything of value is kind of weird and hosed up.

I distinctly remember the days of going into the card shop and seeing EVERY SINGLE DESIRABLE CARD for standard being 20-40 dollars a pop, mox diamonds, sliver queens, gaea's cradles, etc, those were all crazy expensive and impossible for a kid like me to afford. but now I can easily build competitive decks for like 30-40 bucks. poo poo, the sheer glut of showcase versions of incredibly crucial cards during the Throne of Eldraine standard era like Bonecrusher Giant, Murderous Rider and Lovestruck Beast meant they could be had for 2-3 bucks a pop. and if all of that still isn't good enough for you, just loving proxy what you need. there's plenty of etsy, alibaba, and reddit proxymakers who make cards virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. so long as you only plan to use them as game pieces and not try to sell them as the real deal(I recommend marking all proxies on the back to avoid them being resold) you can get all the proxies you might want for like 50 bucks.

Here’s a video about the search for the original backrooms photo from a promising new video creator interested in the history of liminal spaces media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxkvmsEzvAY Look for a very brief cameo by SA here, though I’ve been on the forums since I was in high school and I don’t ever remember seeing the backrooms photo in any of the creepy picture/video threads, though I do remember the other stuff mentioned. Is the SA sagas thread still around? Maybe we could play a part in this search and contribute to internet culture again.

I've been told that even some Targets have stopped selling Magic stuff because even before The One Ring things had gotten so wild people were stealing them so much that there just wasn't any point in ordering them for the store.

I’m not watching all of it, so I don’t know it devolves into weird bigotry stuff, but the algorithm just served up this video by someone, presumably born in 2005, who is treating doug and channel awesome as a historical artifact he is just now discovering and wants to share with others: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAdfGeP7cTs I’ve gotten used to people saying that they grew up watching Lindsay, so that doesn’t make me feel old any more, but I don’t like that there are adults making internet videos who see her as ancient history to be uncovered. Just wait until he finds out about Kickassia. EDIT: it’s a summary of every nostalgia chick video, in order. No argument, nothing skipped over. I guess he grew up watching Quinton.

Sagas thread is good and feel free to post there! the chat is because without it people start to get weird and helldumpy. Rhino made a ppt(x?) that’s in the op and goes over it well. He doesn’t even say Rich Evans (“the funny child in a t-shirt”). I thought it was a joke because he actually uses a 1 sec clip of adult rich evans being gifted a dick the birthday boy shirt, but nope just goes straight into the first segment explaining showbiz pizza.
