  • posted a message on Good deck box for double sleeved commander decks
    Quote from WizardMN »
    It depends on your budget I suppose but the following are decent:

    Ultra Pro Satin Towers
    Ultimate Guard Boulder 100+ (unless you have your decks sleeved with Dragon Shield; I found they didn't fit)
    Ultimate Guard Sidewinder 100+ (not sure if this has the same issue as the Boulder with DS sleeves)
    Legion Dragon Vault v2 for 2 cards
    Ultimate Guard Flip n Tray
    Ultimate Guard Twin Flip n Try (I personally prefer the Dragon Vault; again Dragon Shield sleeves might not fit)
    Custom Deck box by Aaron Cain (this is what I use currently)

    Just note that some (maybe all but the custom deck box?) might not work out if you are trying to use Perfect Fit Hards as your inner sleeves.


    I currently have the deck in Dragon Shields with KMC Perfect Fits, not the Hard ones. I'm going to give the UG Sidewinder 100+ a try, found one for a good price. Thank you very much for all the information, I appreciate it!

    Anyone have recommendations for a solid deck box to hold a commander deck that’s double sleeved? Thanks for any help!

    My collection is fairly small at this point, I've gotten rid of most things and just really collect black foils. I do have a few commander decks but I don't think those would be the best tools to use to teach her as they're a bit complex to play.

    Hello! My partner is interested in learning magic so that we can play together. I’m wondering what is the best product out there currently to teach someone the rules and basics of the game. She tried the Arena tutorial but it didn’t really stick. I’ve heard Jumpstart is a good way to go. Should I look into getting a box of Jumpstart?

    Been having some success on Arena running Mono-Black Control. No sideboard as of yet because I'm only playing Bo1. Here is my current list:

    Much appreciated! Thanks for the quick response.

    Let's say I have 3 demons with different names out, as well as the demon token produced from Rite of Belzenlok. At my upkeep (let's also assume I meet the upkeep requirement of the demon token with a non demon), will Liliana's Contract trigger and win me the game? Or does the demon token produced by Rite of Belzenlok not count as a named demon?

    It bothers me that the stripes in the art are of different thickness.

  • posted a message on From the Vault: Combo Pieces
    Quote from JinxedIdol »
    This is a great FTV idea. Somehow I imagine it to have 20 cards, with both combo pieces in the box. (Maybe some 3 card combos also)
    Channel - Fireball
    Saheeli Rai - Felidar Guardian
    Deciever Exarch - Splinter twin

    Bonus points if the new art matches the combo. It would be great if Splinter twin art depicts an Deciever Exarch; or Channel - Fireball a diptych of A wizard channeling life into mana and then in the next frame turning it into a fireball. Or Animate dead depicting a Worldgorger Dragon


    I think your art idea is fantastic. Similar to panoramic lands or the latest SDCC Planeswalkers. Very cool idea.

  • posted a message on Gavin Varhey confirms change of course for Masters sets.
    Quote from Reesepuff »
    I wonder which defining cards this set will have. It’s gotta be something from portal three kingdoms. Are they ever able to do some kind of masterpiece set for say dual lands in masters 25 since it’s not technically a reprint?


    Doing so would actually violate the reserved list. This happened with an early Duel Deck and FTV and people were not happy. So no Masterpiece Duals.

    My question is: what exactly upset people about Iconic Masters? I drafted it twice and enjoyed it. But it seems as though there was a lot of outrage. Would anyone want to clue me in? I’m very curious to know what Gavin is saying.

  • posted a message on Christine Sprankle and Harassment in the MTG Community
    Quote from DirkGently »
    It’s obvious what each of us think is highly suggestive so this conversation ultimately does not need to happy. You, I and every other human being on the planet, have a different definition of emotion and sensetivity and reaction. So whatever. The problem though is even if you believe Sprankle’s initial cosplay video was too emotional and her being a baby, how on earth do Jeremy and his followers responses to that align with rational? Is the harassment she has suffered really okay because of a video you claim was too over emotional? I don’t understand. None of her side of this has had any threat of violence. His has. He’s enabling violence and harassment by regurgitating his hateful bull***** into the gaping mouths of his followers.
    To be fair, he's at least claimed that he's also now received death threats. Violence, or threat of violence, on either side is unjustifiable.


    Gotcha, didn’t know that. Thanks for the info

    Quote from BlueTronFTW »
    Actually I disagree Lurker. Look, it's like the case from Plato's Republic. If your friend walks into your house seething in anger, going on about his wife, then asks you where you keep your sword, are you going to go along with their feelings? No. Indeed, not all emotional reactions are rational. If someone is behaving irrationally, I refuse to enable them. Your stance is postmodernist nonsense to me - all emotions are valid and correct because that's what someone wants to do. It's a fundamental philosophical difference. Being too sensitive is indeed a flaw. Doesn't make Sprankle a bad person, far from it. It just makes her immature in my opinion. I also remember seeing how Gaby Spartz lost her mind after Trump got elected, thought the same thing. Caleb Durward trolled someone in his twitch chat by taking a knee and playing the national anthem (found it hilarious that he did that personally) and other pros began to talk about him as some sort of hero.

    It's about reason and rationale.
