Waiter, this band keeps shooting pearls at me.
Still only on page 5, but these card matches literally have color commenting? Is it broadcasted somewhere or just a closed circuit channel... Or I guess something that is somehow worse?

They broadcast "feature matches" on a twitch.tv channel. You get to watch nerds get deflated in real time as their opponent draws the one card they needed to turn the game around.

You don't even need the sound on. Just watch the dude on the left for a few minutes, and the greasy, fat gently caress of a judge laughing right next to him.

I kinda want a set of fakes for kitchen table gaming. Getting to play with all the big power cards without having to worry about damaging them would be great.

You know you can make your own with card stock and a ballpoint pen, right? The magic police isn't going to break down your door and arrest you.

lol at people hoarding their magic cards like some sort of rainy day fund when in 20 years they'll probably be worthless as gently caress

i have a buddy that got me into mtg and he was pretty, well, not serious, but he could easily go on the pro tour

he got sick of mtg and sold everything but his several boxes of pretty rare expensive cards (like full sets of dual lands) and put them in a safety deposit box for a few years
then he got a one in a million opportunity to trade them all for one single card, a super rare misprint that was worth a bit more than that

so yeah he has one magic card in a sleeve in a box in a safe deposit box in a bank and its worth like tens of thousands or some poo poo. or it was last time i talked to him a few years ago. i cant see it collapsing any time soon, rich nerds are INSANE for misprints

You can get 360 proxies printed on card stock at any print shop for about $20-40. Just sleeve them with a real card and have fun.

I never thought about doing it that way. I figured print shops would get antsy about printing them because of copyrights. Going to have a great nerd time without worrying about destroying thousands of dollars with of cards by having beer spilled on them.

You know what else he could do? Have tens of thousands of dollars in his bank account instead of a defective card in a vault.

i've seen a lot of fake pokemon cards, and they were always super obvious, i'm sure the magic fakes are too.

magic is a cool game, but it's too drat expensive and the amount someone can spend on cards matters too much. if they just released every set for like $30 and everyone had x4 of everything, it'd be really cool.

It depends on the copy shop. Somewhere corporate like Walmart will tell you to get hosed. But if you can find a "joes copy shop" near a university they will print whatever you ask for. Small time copy shops "respect" copyright in the same way that ethnic convenience stores "respect" underage tobacco laws.

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

If there are fake magic cards are there also cheap knock-off versions of the game?
