Back on topic. Next person besides FoilPhob that posts a story about a jerk destroying your cards will become a scollypoff viceroy.
Every time I play Vintage tournaments a little part of me dies 'cause everyone likes to Riffle Shuffle my deck (which only has a Lotus proxied)! Seriously, why do people Riffle Shuffle, it damages the cards (especially foils), I get so aggitated whenever anyone does it to my decks.
Onto the story, I actually had made a Standard deck (right after Future Sight came out, I made a Korlash Control deck), keep in mind that I never play Standard (seriously, never). I was practicing at Dennys with some friend and my half-drunk friend has to spill his water all over my deck! I took the deck apart, made him take the Damnations (and trade them off to get me back my moneys worth), and stopped playing Standard!
Actually, the deck (all my decks) are sleeves (not in the penny sleeves, either). It's the only reason the deck wasn't ruined, but the cards still did get water damage along the top of many of them (including the Korlash's, Damnations, Persecutes, etc). As for the riffle shuffling, even sleeved cards can still get bends down the middle when riffle shuffled (especially with foils, which I reallllly like in my decks).
I had a Relentless Assault deck stolen out of my car (along with the car stereo). Unfortunately I never got any kind of revenge, being a poor college student my $500 deductible was more then the Stereo and deck as well so I didn't even get reimbursed for it. Fracking car insurance is a scam!
Well, while my story has to deal with my time in BSA, I can at least say the people in my troop weren't jerks.
My friend and I were still pretty new to the game, and he decided that he wantedto make a RWG deck that ran Fires and Thorn Elemental along with insane land fetching, mana accel, and pump. I loaned him a few cards so that he could fill out the deck. When we returned from Camp, he still had the cards. No biggie. However, he never took them out of his pants. He tossed his pants into the washer. Case closed.
I lost a Might of Oaks, a few fogs, some mana accel...nothing serious. But man...that Might was my baby. Yay for Timmy Times.
Gaagh! The rogue emperor strikes again! And furthermore, a story:
About 5 years ago, I was at a cub scout meeting. My friend and I were bored, so out came the Magic decks. Trouble was, the other dozen boys in the room were also bored. Less than a minute into our game, several of them ran up, grabbed a bunch of cards, and threw them in the air. Then, as we scrambled to get them off the dirty floor, they repeated it with the rest of our decks, which we had left unguarded on the table. Needless to say, we immediately called over the nearest adult to gain enough time to pick up our cards unhindered. Luckily, we both had sleeves on our decks, so the cards were fine. Unluckily, the boys that did this got off completely free...or so they thought...
What did you do to get back, Eater of Days? Let us know, and you can become a Scollypoff Emperor like myself and swarmalarm.
it just ended up in a fight in the movie theater after 300 a few weeks later. that is also adding in the time before that i had one of the ninja stars in my leg...
back in my noobie days(before i realized sleeves were a good investment) i was playing in the local store of were i used to live and was playing a jank casual green deck during mirrorden/kamigawa(yes i noe noob!) and had a guy who thought he was all that and would rip off people just becasue, and when i beat him he started saying that my one card that helped me win(some rare snake) was broken and i was cheating and grabbed my deck and tossed it on the floor but thankfuly only a couple commons got wreked. he dosent go there anymore as i dont think he is welcomed. he was just lucky the stare owner wasent there. btw foilphob swarmalarm is the true emperor.
"Crovax Connections" does sound like a friendly corner store run by your local Ascendant Lord
I bet we have a case of Jon Finkel sleeping with the girl, then never calling her again and she going bat #%^% crazy and writing this article case closed.

Please stay on-topic, people. If you want to discuss things other than "jerks destroying your cards," please do so in a different thread. Anything else off topic from this point gets an Infraction.

"...because without beer, things do not seem to go as well."
So...Have I gained Scollypuffiness of any degree? o.0
As for the lost cards, I was bummed, but I realized, hey, it was only one card I really lost. With all the reprints that have happened since Seventh Ed, everything has been more than replaced. Besides, randomly for this past Christmas, my pal decided he'd give up on the game and gave me his collection save for his odd token deck.
well our school had a magic club and this incident happened after the Planar Chaos pre release. While kidding around one of the members stole my new and great Damnation that i pulled so i got mad. at that point my friend went into my pile of jank purple stuff and added a new phrase to one of my cards. In the end i got damnation back and ended up with Ass Pirate Ship.
You have earned yourself the title of scollypoff viceroy for that. Don't worry, if he ever does it again, he gets permabanned.
Anyways, I haven't had any jerks or idiots hurt my cards intentionally or otherwise. Only thing I can think of is this one guy at my ex-school (I left cuz it was teh suck) but when I was playing outside, he would often pick up my cards, look at them, and promptly throw them back at me and call me a nerd. I was considering beating him up on the last day, but I felt it was unfair because he is very short, and I am of average stature.

When I had just started playing (in junior high) I was playing a game in the library of my school and some jerks 4 metres away started throwing magazines at the table, and these guys were 2 years older than us and more numerous, so we collected our cards fast and beat it.
Later I discovered that 8 or so cards, including one of my only rares at the time (Avatar of Fury), had gotten lost in the hasty retreat, so I went back the next day at the same time and they were making card castles with the cards. I demanded them back, and they just laughed and returned them, to my surprise. No significant damage in the end.
Before you ask, I don't partake in any form of revenge.

Last Friday my cat decided to eat the corner of a hypnotic specter that I had in a box of magic cards, funny thing is the card in front of it was ******, as was the card behind it. Not so much as funny, more as annoying.

My lovely wife has flinged a couple of decks containing super-expensive stuff at me for beign an ass to her sometimes. can`t say i didn`t deserve it.
And i`ve lost stuff, lost cards to water damage, etc. Can`t remember ever having anything stolen from me. Although I find it`s more likely to happen here in Canada than in Brazil. Odd, no?
