MrSargent posted:I just ordered a bunch of cards direct from tcgplayer and just received them in the mail. When I opened the package, I noticed every single card has damage on the top edge. This is clearly from shipping because there was little to no protection provided in the package. I went to the order and sent a message about the card condition but was wondering if anyone here had similar experiences and if tcgplayer made things right. Can you take a picture of it? the normal way for tcplayer direct to mail you cards that come in a basic envelope is completely reasonable IMO. Sounds like you might have just gotten a little unlucky.

MrSargent posted:Here is a picture of the damage. The cards were all placed in a single plastic sleeve and then placed in a thin bubble-wrapped envelope. The sleeve they came in was also damaged enough that it ripped the sleeve right where the cards got dinged. Maybe I got unlucky but seems like if the envelope got dropped on edge at all it could easily result in this kind of damage. Yeah, you got a tad unlucky. A resealable shrink wrap in a bubble mailer is about as good as it gets for shipping cards. unfortunately the carrier hosed you up. It happens.

fadam posted:I can’t link them, but if people here are really champing at the bit to play eternal formats but don’t want to spend thousands of dollars there are all sorts of places you can get paper playable proxies that will pass any inspection done short of busting out a loupe and getting sweaty about it. And they have only improved in the years. A holostamp is no longer a barrier for entry.

fadam posted:My buddy ordered a fake full art Jeska’a Will that legit is indistinguishable lol. He had to write proxy on the back just to avoid accidentally trading it/selling it in a few years. I have played with proxies for a better part of decade at every level but the pro tour and worlds. Deck checked countless times. Unless you are careless, you probably not going to get caught and even if you do? Plausible deniability. Its a victimless crime.

ilmucche posted:The problem with counterfeits as proxies is they then get traded and can gently caress up someone else's day. If your card is in a sleeve the judge deck checking you isn't going to pull it out to look at the back but someone trading sure is. That is more of an issue of someone actively scamming and stealing from people, less though about someone wanting to play wizards poker for a reasonable price.

Lone Goat posted:No, there will always be a Best Card(s) In Standard, some players would just rather complain about them than adapt. Sometimes the "best cards" end up having to get banned because of how warping they are. Siege Rhino never had to be banned but was the best card in standard for a time. There are many examples of this. The issue is how much better than are than 2, 3, 4th best... etc. It also doesn't help if all those card go in the same deck.

babypolis posted:pretty crazy that LSV makes such a meager amount of twitch considering he usually has over 2k viewers. much smallers channels make a lot more money than he does. althought now that i think about it, its probably because he streams a lot less than other people and twitch only represents a small slice of the pie for him. Less streams means less opportunities to sub. There is also a ton of other factors that goes into how often someone might sub and why, he doesn't seem to be leveraging most of those.

Fuzzy Mammal posted:Ok I know Rudy has come up several times before and I've said he wasn't so bad. But I need someone to come on here and explain how him bilking $1.3 million from his patrons for literal nothing is defensible in any way whatsoever. Don't forget the $$ still made when he sells "discounted" sealed product to his patreons. Or the youtube revenue. Its defensible in that he is an entertainer and his side grift isn't any different or less moral than anyone elses in the mtg world.

dragon enthusiast posted:The pearl clutching over the recent assault on Magic's canon always seemed weird to me given how often people seem to complain about the poor quality of the general story. Any successes seem to revolve around specific planes and designs rather than the worldbuilding as a whole Both can be bad on their own. Once upon I time I thought "man, the magic books are always so bad, I wish the story was better" and then a monkey paw curled and we eventually got the magic avengers. I personally don't even mind the magic crossovers they have planned, if the art is cool and the cards are fun, I will play.

Paul Zuvella posted:He's purposfully abrasive for no reason and vapes constantly. This would be a great reason to think he is a giant turd, but most people just hate him because he is somewhat of an outsider to Competitive magic and a large number of casual players think he is the best player alive. He isn’t even in the top 10 of most abrasive mtg players lol. Might not be in the top 5 for mtg streamers.

mcmagic posted:Dude in the NRG event this past weekend played an extra land in the finals... On camera. Not 100% sure he did it on purpose but it looks pretty bad. Saw it. He drew the land instead of putting into play tapped, so he split the difference and put it into play from his hand untapped for his second land drop.

I am really confused why the land needs the 1 life part for vampires. I don't think the second bit of text is so powerful to need that drawback.

 Does that last half of the card text seem... a little unfinished? Do you get the discount forever? Until the wolf leaves play? What if you have another wolf? I mean I think I know how its suppose to play, but I am expecting more text to tell me things.
