fits at my local LGS are on-point

dude there every friday with a big old cowboy hat, leather jacket, flared relaxed fit jeans, and falling apart sandals. same fit erry week

mtg players are generally a combo of redditors, vidya gamers, bronies, and MRAs so you get the worst dressed ppl that possibly exist at events

not cheating, thats dishonorable
tried to buy fake cards from china and ran some threads on /tg/ about it
wotc tracked me and sent a lawyer to give me a cease and desist letter, they were under the impression i was on the payroll of the chinese company
they also demanded that i divulge the personal information of people on /tg/ (name, address, phone number) who had expressed interest in buying cards, and i got banned when i refused to

Trunks has been playing for a few years, myself for 1 off and on with 3 years during urza a saga up through about 6th edition and unglued.

I've recently begun taking local tournaments with a u/g infect list, which I also retro fit into legacy with a play set of invigorate and the 3 allowed proxies being berserk x2 and a trp island.

Also u/r storm rarely

For the most part I only play standard for profit, it's just not fun and sour attitudes.

Yeah but you can tell those are fake from like 5 feet away.

The Chinese are running 3rd shift print runs, converting simplified Chinese text to English and selling them off with the correct print pattern, blue film reinforced paper and accurate pixel shapes.

Nice, not worth too much just like $1.50 a piece. I run them in infect because it's ironic. Basic land worth more than the deck engine.

I know someone who has a bunch of them and doesn't know how to play.

>> No.8380114

>>8380059
i pretty openly opposed scamming via this method, i mean you're getting every card you need for the next few years to stay competitive in modern and legacy, so theres no point in being scum

im banned until 2050, but theres more than one lgs in my city so ill just go to a different one and register under a different name

>> No.8380121

>>8380028
If an army costs like $3000 why not just buy a maker bot?

Then print your army, head down to the lgs and offer anyone any printed army within dimension if they let you play in sanctioned events? That way profit everywhere except for greed ass companies

The lgs makes his money with entrance fees and shit

yeah, they're not worth a bunch but i have 20 of each colour plus my own ones. also he doesn't play much any more and i asked him if he wanted to trade his marsh flats and he just tells me to have it. i did tell him its value but he didn't seem to care

There was a guy actually printing fakes, some people I talked to actually brought some, but I held off for a while then the guy selling them (in china) went on holiday. WOTC talked to me the day before he got back

Oh, no I dont like edh, I only played standard, but I'm only going to play modern and legacy from now, standard is silly. Ill probably keep a cheap deck around for it though

for you guys who play modern: what's a good (cheapish) deck to play? Only staples i have are a playset of mutavaults, thoughtseizes, and a full set of shocklands

im gonna stop playing standard after rotation but the barrier of entry to modern is scary, im not ready to drop hundreds on fetches and shit

it's expensive but it's a much more stable and a genuinely worthwhile investment
