What WarMachinePrime just said. I'd multi quote or whatever but the mobile site is dicks. I didn't fall in love with Magic back in 1994 because of humans. I fell in love with it because of Dragons, Minotaurs, Merfolk, Elves, Goblins, and Thallids. Humans have historically been the LEAST interesting part of the game for me, and even the ones who were interesting, like Urza and Mishra, they drove into the ground and made boring.
Also, now that the game has become Social Justice: the Warrioring, I care even less about their boring characters.
Okay, am I really gonna be the first one here, 8 pages into this thread, who is actually happy that we have a black character (and a female one at that) finally taking center stage in the main story? Seriously? Yall think it's boring?
Puca was indispensable in my building of several Modern decks, and I'm saddened by its collapse. I'll be willing to give this new site a try, albeit cautiously.
Edit: Signed up and started inputting cards. I like the site so far. Quick and responsive. Better layout than Puca 1.0, and FAR better than the debacle that Future Site ended up being.
Actually the strongest cards I've played with were things like Memory Jar in combination with Mana Crypt, Sol Ring, and other powerful legacy ramp cards. Combo that with Megrim and you basically had the precursor to grapeshot... on steroids. Don't get me started on Yawgmoth's Will.
Please get started. Those links got my heart all-a-flutter!
while all still being inside black sleeves for the actual card viewing experience (the inner lining is what sold me on them when I saw the Professor's review
And that's the sole reason I haven't sprung for them yet. I pair my decks up with a color that they look good in. Merfolk is in yellow, Burn is in this nice light green, so on so forth. The only oddball is that Psychatog is in...Pikachu sleeves. I like the contrast of the sleeve color against the card frame.
That said, if they're good enough sleeves, I might just have to suck it up.
I asked my insurance provider about this some time back, but they seemed to lack any desire or have much in the way of information on insuring collectibles. All I could get out of them is "You need to have it appraised" pretty much, with no sort of leads on what type of appraisal would suffice. An estimate from my LGS? Hell if I know!
I got to thinking about this last night after some a-hole pulled the fire alarm at my apartment building. My wife was pitching a fit about the chain smoker downstairs falling asleep with a lit cigarette, but thankfully, there was no fire. Still, it put the idea in my head. Our complex requires us to have renters insurance, but there's no specific rider for collectibles, and my provider did tell me that my comics would only be valued at cover price. That kind of sucks when you've got a pile of key issues from the 70's. When I mentioned insuring my M:tG, my wife was shocked that my collection isn't already insured.
Those of you that have done this, what were the stipulations and rules set forth by your insurance provider?
The missile barrage on the empty airfield in Syria occurred while Xi Jinping was here in the states. Trumps moves are showing that he's not going to play these games, and it's making China step up and say "Maybe we should stop playing too then". 80% of North Koreas trade is with China, so when China says "enough is enough", this little dog and pony show is over.
I agree completely. But MaRo and his "market research" has assured us several times that nothing like that will ever happen again. One of my favorite things in mtg ever, and he was just like "nope, newer players didn't like it".
I really lost any and all respect for him when he wrote his article about what he'd change if he created Magic, and how it "should" be, and proceeded to ***** all over everything Richard Garfield did.
I've been playing since Fallen Empires, WotC has had my email since god knows how long, and the only correspondence I've ever gotten is the monthly "This is how little you played MTGO this month" which almost always equates to zero. Thanks for the email saying that I drafted zero cards, guys. I really needed that. I have no idea where you guys are getting these surveys from, so I'm only left to believe that his "market research" comes from Blogatog, which is hosted on Tumblr, which is the busted unflushable filled with ***** toilet in a crack den of the internet.
The answer is still no. No matter how many times you try to justify it. I'm sick of consolidation. I'm sick of merging accounts. I'm sick of crap like Arc and Glyph. I'm sick of websites asking for too much information. If I'm forced to merge MTG Salvation and Twitch, I just won't use either. Several people have mentioned not having Twitch accounts, and no desire to have one. This nonsense coupled with stifling, biased overmoderation on the site is going to be the death of it, and good riddance if that's the future.
It may be the "biggest", but does that matter when it's mostly atrocious? It's like dredging through a sewer to find jewelry that accidentally fell down the drain.
Also, now that the game has become Social Justice: the Warrioring, I care even less about their boring characters.
Why does it matter?

"QUICK,
PETERDILBERT PRINCIPLE ALL THESE PEOPLE INTO AN ENTIRELY NEW DEPARTMENT! We'll just tell the players it's for 'more testing'"And that's the sole reason I haven't sprung for them yet.

It's just another forgettable bland soulless corporate set.
Already can't take this seriously.
