I play Nintendo games, MTG, DND stuff, and do all around nerd stuff.
That’s how we ended up spending $180 in total on a giant plush venus fly trap. The thing is massive, and barely fits in the back of my car. I had to drop the back seats in order to get it to fit. I ended up getting a DFT pack alongside it to round off the purchase. Pulled an Aetherspark.

That said, one can purchase Tabletop Simulator and use workshop content to play anything without restriction. Or even find groups that are DIY friendly. It’s a game, not an investment.

That is fair. As far as I’ve noticed, the entry cost for TCGs right now is Yugioh < Pokemon < Magic in terms of the big three. But again, that’s all relative to *how* you play the game. You can build semi-competitive decks from like the third or fourth set of each for nearly the same price.

That really just depends on the format. People currently are obsessed with bug expensive formats. However, I have some PAUPER tournaments in my area and those decks run around $5 each. They only allow commons which are typically less than a quarter in value.

Not to mention tournament rules is, what, last three sets? Halfway through the year your deck isn’t even going to be legal. Like what’s the point in building a deck at that rate?

I love getting bulk boxes of cards, it doesn’t matter what brand either. I could receive boxes of assorted playing cards and be happy. That’s an awesome bulk box you got there!

Then there’s that one kobold who drinks one before going to sleep, swearing it helps them sleep. The rest can’t comprehend this neurodivergence.

This is the kind of random fact I needed in my life today.

Sol Ring, especially in Commander, holds such little payoff for most colors.
All it does for me is:

• Pay for Talismans and Signets
• Discount other mana rocks

I’ve started thinking more about mana producing engines for ramp rather than rocks and dorks. It’s a fun experience.

Just for clarification — this is the “you shouldn’t be the one apologizing” and not the “you don’t need to apologize” vibe, yes? It’s early in the morning for me and my brain is overanalyzing.

I’ll stop by and say hi to stream, looking forward to it

Your bones are skelepathically telling you that you need rest

This was something that I needed today, thank you.

She sings the revolution
The dawning of out lives
She brings this liberation
That I just can’t define (well nothing comes to mind)

If the hybrid rules follow through, I’m making an Izzet deck that consists of only non-izzet hybrid cards.

It’s the end of the world as we know it
And I’ve been fined

My pfp is actually an official Nintendo Switch pfp that I use on my Nintendo account.

You remind me of some of the things I left behind when I left Portland and your posts only make me want to return home sooner. Keep being yourself.
