Rap Music and Dope posted:Eh. People used to abuse language barrier rules and poo poo like that at Worlds all the time. Magic is dumb because at a certain point all you can do is try and correctly guess which one of the top 3 netdecks would be best in the meta at whichever tournament you're going to. Then you just hopefully get the right cards when you need em. or you cheat and hope no one catches you, which they rarely do

NecroMonster posted:they use special card stock with thin layers of plastic embedded in it and extremely high quality inks, it's both anti-counterfitting and simply necessary for the quality of the cards Oh cool can I get outraged that some nerd might be using fakes and demand that he tear one in half so I can see if it has the plastic layers?

NecroMonster posted:these chinese have been trying to fake magic cards for loving years and ain't managed anything believable yet, i just wanna know if these new fakes are or not They look okay, other than the fonts used being a bit off and a few other small details. It's easy enough to notice if you look up a legit version of the card most the time.

pretty soft girl posted:lol at chaos orb errata, can only imagine how many physical nerd slap fights that card caused I remember back when I played in middle school there was a rumor that someone tore up their chaos orb into a bunch of scraps and sprinkled it all over their opponents deck. That sounded like a pretty rad play.

you wouldnt' understand if you joined the game during the periods where they were actively creating novels to go along with the game it was better when it was a limited view of events gleaned through vague flavor text

should children who want to be part of a community and learn a strategy game be allowed to without spending 50 dollars, 500 dollars, 5000 dollars or even 15,000 dollars for a single piece of worthless cardboard paper? of course not, because retarded sweaty people exist and they play it for real.
