Now it depends if you have other stores to go to and vote with that wallet. I may be blessed with a variety of stores with good players and totally dropping a store due to BM would be easy. YMMV

There was one guy at an old LGS that was very toxic. He would argue and get belligerent over literally nothing. He always acted like that tough guy that would "meet you in the parking lot after" type of thing. He eventually got a 4 or 5 year suspension or something for starting a "fight" that didn't really go anywhere. He has cancer though and is prolly going to die soon, so I don't think he'll be missed much. It just kinda sucks, having a limited time here and wasting it on being an asshole.

The draft I went to last week was the first one I've hit up since I moved out to MA, and people kept laughing everytime I would apologize for doing something rude (either morph shenanigans or anything involving discards)

[Tricen]

When you mean you did something rude, you mean like you outplayed the shit out of them or you didn't know how things worked and ppl were like l0ll2p

"Mind Twist you for seven...Sorry."

Most of them were pretty bad at the game so I wanted to be nice about as I crushed their souls.

Sorting thru my mountains of cards to find stuff to sell/trade, found a random deck box with 4 Cavern of Souls in it. Today is a good day.

[Kononeko]

Man that cheety face Outlast!

[Xerlic]

In the first match of the Modern Pro Tour post bans, they start with a burn vs. burn matchup....?

[Kononeko]

I guess they just want to get as many games in a possible as this should be done in about 5 minutes

i'm most of the way through building a legacy monoblack reanimator maindeck and i made the mistake of ordering a handful of foils. i sandwiched them between two heavy flat things for a couple of days, but they refuse to stop arching like it's going out of style. is there a reliable way to make foil cards not suck?

[Ghost_Wheel22]

If they have a little bit of curl then heavy weight over several days and if you're willing to risk the card you can very carefully iron them. High heat/low steam, spritz both sides of the card with water, then fold a towel over and do some passes, sleeve, then slip into a thick book, more weights, and tucked in a warm dry spot for a several days. I've had mixed success with this method.

If its curled to the point of unplayable then you're fucked basically. Keep foils away from moisture and store in sleeves/toploader/binder.

[Viserdes]

monoblack reanimator huh, let me guess did you happen to get any cards from the graveborn set? Having personally owned it and seen others it is a notoriously curled foil set to have. There is no real solution aside from applying alot of pressure to them ( textbooks under a table). It might help, but no one is going to blame you though because that's just how graveborn foils are, if that is what you got.

[Moridam]

shit lol, that's exactly it. blazing archon and 4x exhume that were all from the graveborn kit. tcgplayer's optimizer tricked me into buying them, and after getting the package, i 100% understand why these printings were the cheapest available.

[zoobernut]

Just ordered some lightning Helix's, young pyromancers and some other cards to build a r/w/u delver legacy deck for casual fun. I am excited. Only thing I am missing now is stupid fetch lands.

Any stuff out of premades is generally going to be cheaper, it's not really specific to Graveborn.

[Moridam]

fair enough. oh well, i'm just glad i learned that lesson before i ordered my playset of entombs.

are curled foils even tournament legal? i feel like that would run afoul of marked card regulations.

[Krandor]

You *could* just use some proxies for the overly curved cards if you wanted, and just keep them sitting on the side to prove you own them.

Most cards will flatten out pretty well if you just press them for awhile.

Announced at Pro Tour Fate Reforged this past weekend, the final core set will be called Magic Origins:
