    If your group enjoys Pandemic you should really invest in a copy of Pandemic Legacy. The base of the game is just plain old vanilla Pandemic, but every month there is a new twist that adds a challenge to the game. The game also comes with stickers and secret panels you open so that every time...

    Universal Studios in Florida does this too, but it's like 50 bucks per person. Got the plebe ticket because it's already outrageous to visit the park. Waited in line like a plebe for probably an hour longer on average than the entitled. Vowed to never visit the park again while they support...

    Those are legit Ultra Pro sleeves. You can see the hologram in the corner. You know you need the best protection when you're playing with super valuable cards like Woolly Spider and Urza's Bauble. I am surprised to see him using those sleeves because I thought in early tournaments in the...

    There's also a million more Spellskites running around in Modern compared to Legacy. Those guys work wonders to keep Infect in check enough to warrant playing some copies of Twisted Image maindeck. (Also no Invigorate).

    I open a ton of product and I've had that happen with other sets. I can't remember which uncommon it was with SOI, but there was one that I only had 3 of after cracking 4 boxes. In the past it seems like it had been a more playable uncommon, like Wild Slash in Fate Reforged or Banishing Light...

    Kaosball may have been a stinker, but they've put out a lot of games now that people absolutely love (personal tastes of course), but Arcadia Quest, Blood Rage, The Grizzled, Rum and Bones, Xenoshyft and Zombicide all get pretty high praise from what I've read. I've only played Blood Rage and...

    The specific one from the Zendi booster is an expedition. These cards are very rare and desirable so they command a premium in price. Stomping Ground is still a great card, but a regular copy isn't nearly as expensive as that version. No modern era uncommon land is better than this FWIW.

    I have an unhealthy obsession for the Breakfast Jack sandwiches. I know they're shit tier and yet they do it for me. They had a promotion a couple summers back where a large soft drink was only $1 so I picked up breakfast there on my way to work more than my fair share. Every other meal there...

    Heh. I guess that's fair. I've bought stuff from a couple people here that seemed fine with the transaction. It always makes me sad when people sell their cards pennies on the dollar to a store/vendor, but if I were to offer someone the same 20 bucks for a 40 dollar card I'm...

    I'll buy it for probably better than what a store would give you. Send me a PM with a better idea of what you have (more detailed is better, but at least the higher value cards) and we can try to work something out. eBay is probably a better idea than selling to a store, but it's a lot of...

    I played from 4th edition to Onslaught and hadn't even thought about the game except in brief spurts until about 3 years ago. I decided to play a prerelease event (Dragon's Maze) for my birthday and was instantly addicted again. I'm not really a social person so I didn't have any friends when...

    I would say you would want a bounce spell like Just the Wind. Gives you tempo against any deck and does the heavy lifting against Oremendahl. I would probably cut the Roasts and Sarkhan and turn red into a very light splash. I doubt you need all 4 Aethergrid since you should be drawing piles...

    Navmii (used to be NavFree) is a dataless navigation app. All it takes is to download the maps ahead of time. It's not as nice as Google Maps, but when I took a business trip to Australia for 3 weeks, this is what I used to navigate around rather than pay exorbitant international data rates...

    Alara Block didn't have any rare duals. Nor did Kamiagawa or Mirrodin block. Each block only had a one off 5 color rare land. But your specific comment was "block + core set" so if you want to bookend these by saying there were some lands in M10, 10th edition, 8th and 9th editions, then sure...

    For me it's like I'm in Best Buy or somewhere looking for one specific thing (I think I was trying to find a USB wifi dongle or router or something stupid last time). I look high and low and can't find what I need. I actively have to hunt down a floor rep to help me find what I need and they...

    We've already seen the reverse side of several of the new flip cards, so nope. I guess they figure you can always pick it up and look at the other side again though..... The change is fine, but the implementation is lacking.

    I was going to recommend that same site. Sleeve up a deck of crap cards and slide in the cards from that generator. Works great for a proxy deck. I had built a modern gauntlet to playtest against before GP Richmond last year. And I use the same set for vintage proxy tournaments at the LGS...

    I've heard it's terrible, but that may be bias from people who don't think a game with an extremely popular IP really needs to have a kickstarter to go into production. Speaking of Kickstarter; my good friend and gaming buddy is entering the last 48 hours of his campaign. He's received...

    Abzan loses so much on this next rotation (Siege Rhino, Anafenza, Abzan Charm) that it's going to be tough to play as a deck. This alongside fetchland rotation will make a deck design shift from just throwing shit together because mana is easy to having to be more conservative to work with a...

    I wouldn't be surprised if SCG is involved. During their holiday sale they were selling NM Forces of Wills for $75. I thought that was an exceptional deal since the going price was $90+. If I had deeper pockets I may have been inclined to pick up several copies. Part of me had just thought...

    Time Stories is really amazing. It really does play like a point and click adventure game on the PC. We're playing through the first expansion of it right now (The Marcy Case), but haven't had much more than an hour or so each night. Probably need another 2 playthroughs before we can solve it...

    He's been to most of the GPs that I've attended and drew an alternate VIP playmat for GP Denver last year. I think most people assumed he was in decent health. Wayne England also died yesterday. He was the artist for the Lorwyn command cycle most notably.

    You actually do have to keep track of public game state information and if your opponent asks you information, you need to tell him. You also need to keep track of this correctly, because you could get a penalty for misrepresenting the game state otherwise (your opponent can also receive the...
