mtg isn't cheap it can be cheap if you try your hardest to do budget everything but mtg is not cheap

>>35762675
This. I've blown so much money and the card never get valuable enough to make profit.
Unless you've got a black lotus, my LCS was bought because somone pretty much traded the owner a legit black lotus for his entire shop.

Just started playing 2 weeks ago after not leaving my house for about 3 years.

Before i used to play Yugioh TCG but i couldn't speak to anyone and sorta acted like an awkward sperg where i went to play but im alot more comfortable here because my friend comes to play warhammer 40k and he is actually good at speaking to people so he makes the interactions easier.

To do a draft costs around 15-20 Canuckbucks and usually last at least three hours. Not to mention, if you do well, you can get prizes that pretty much pay for your draft. Or, you can open really good cards that you can sell for money.

Whoever said anything about constructed :)

EDH is the only way to play magic on a budget, things rarely get banned and there's no stictly better deck.

>>35763046
How much does a decent/fun edh deck cost? Is it more than 15 dollars? If so, draft wins.

>>35761670
I'm too dumb to really understand the synergy of these card games...

You play this one card and that activates this other card which creates 3 saprolings which you can sacrifice to the Solar Windigo which gives every land card +3 which you can sacrifice to initiate a cosmic rainboom but only if you have exactly equal forest and mountains...

I can't do it. There's too much to keep track of. You have to memorize every fucking card and memorize how they all interact with each other.

I can't do it.

>>35763108
That sort of stuff only happens in EDH, which allows for basically every single card ever printed. If you do drafts, you really only have to know one or two sets. And, in draft, the most epic of card interactions is
"I play a spell to buff this creature"
"OK, in response I kill it"
"Fuck you."

My nearest store is 50km away and I work on friday, I only go for pre-releases and rarely when they play modern.

>>35763197
Whereabouts do you live? There might be something, you never know.

Dude.

4-1 me against my work friend who /vampires/ here

>>35761670
Stuff like MtG, tabletop games, LARP and other games like that is pure cyborg material. It's great.

You're out in the real world, socializing with people, you might even meet a cute girl - but every single person there is on the spectrum in one way or another.


I never got into it. I was a little kid when it first first came out in the 1990s, my older brother was really into it though. I would just look at the cards that all looked like Metal album covers and thought they were pretty cool.


I actually have a bunch of his original cards stuffed away somewhere. I'll definitely get into it sooner or later.

I have literally no money. I couldn't afford a bus ride to go there.

I know there's a local scene. There's a bunch of stores and even a yearly grand prix tournament in my city.

First thing though I gotta stop being a NEET and get a god damn job.

>>35763654

That's not bad at all, just ask mom to drive.

How do I make sure these stores offer friday night magic?

>>35763667
Maybe hawk some of your bros older cards? Sometimes they might actually be worth something. Most people use tcgplayer or cardkingdom to price their cards.

>>35763677
I seriously might. Kind of nervous though

Cause I play PTCG instead

1. cheaper decks
2. games tend to play faster if both players know wtf they're doing and aren't playing against a clock
3. WAYY less Jewish online component, F2P and you get tons of free packs. Even if you drop RL money on booster codes it's like $40 for a top tier deck online, while in MTGO you spend practically the same amount for paper or digital cards. If you play paper you get tons of 'free' codes from opening boosters/products since ALL PTCG products have online codes in them.
4. the people who play PTCG at my LGS are way less autistic and smelly than the magicfags funnily enough
5. Cards with lewd anime girls

>>35761717
hearthstone sucks ass

>>35763836
I love PTCG, but I haven't seen anywhere that plays drafts. I think it would be really fun.

Also, Drafts > COnstructed.

>>35763701
kek I thought about it. Even if they were worth anything I wouldn't sell them, It's better off keeping them as collectibles. It's mostly just like swamp and mountains terrain cards or whatever they're called.

Let me see what is actually in that box.

>>35761670
I tried that but I switched to drugs because it's cheaper and I don't have to be around plebbits who are mean to me. Plus maybe one day I'll overdose and die.

>>35763832

You can bring it but you won't need to if they're doing a booster draft because everyone is building their own deck for the tournament.

>>35763855
People have been talking about it at pokebeach. I think it's a little harder in PTCG to make decks that are actually fun to play from drafted cards though. Every attempt I've seen so far has been basically Theme but with less shitmons and more EX cards.AKA not a lot of fun to play or to watch play out.

I think it'd have to basically be set up with cards packaged together, so you could draft a 'max efficiency' draw engine with Shaymin/Sycamores, ect. but in doing so you'd end up with a weaker win condition (like a set of some obscure, not so good megas) while the guy who goes for weaker draw cards can get better wincon cards.

So these are mostly from 1994, original series?

A big stack of them, and a single one that is inside of a glass protective case

>>35764270
I sorted through them, and it's 90% "land" cards, as you can see, swamps and mountains and all that. Stacked from left to right according to how many of each there are.


Also some of them have alternative drawings, or have a black border instead of the white ones. I'm not sure if that means they're from another series or more rare.

>>35764350
can you take a quick photo of all the non swamp/forest/island/plains/mountain cards spread out?

Anyways, there are the new non-land cards, as well as the one locked away in a protective case.

Are these any good?

DEMONIC TUTOR IS LOADS OF MONEY MY DUDE

>>35764402
>>35764425
Here you go senpai.

let me take another pic and resize it for file limit real quick

i played it in grade school and loved it but stopped when i got to junior high because it wasn't cool. always felt bad about that.

is there a place to play it online for free?

Ya demonic tutor is an expensive one.

You probably have other gems in there.

I've played Magic on and off since Shards of Alara and I can tell you that it did not help me with my loneliness. I looked around and saw the people that I shared an interest with and I was repulsed. If anything, it made me feel like more of a loser.

>>35761670
i tried playing it when i was 13. It was fun at first, but after a while i felt inadequate to other players cause everyone was kicking my ass. my favorite card was Withengar Unbound

oh fuggg :DDDD

I guess that explains why onii-chan had the foresight to put it in that case. I don't know anything about the game either, but it sounds like it's a good card too, gameplay-wise.

>>35764489
here's a better shot.

>>35764493
download the xmage client. very good. free.

>>35764560
swords to plowshares may be a couple bucks aswell. and yeh, its totally broken :p

>>35764425
storm seeker would be a really funny way to fuck with necropotencefags or any of those other "imma draw my library now XDXD" situations, though resolving it in those circumstances seems more unlikely

>>35764560

Swords to plowshares can be a good one but nothing like demonic tutor.

Google your cards, he has old cards from a while ago, he could have more spendy ones.

>>35764519
>I looked around and saw the people that I shared an interest with and I was repulsed.

I was like that with loads of things.

When I was in college, everyday I would walk past the radio room and the anime club and the tabletop club and all the other clubs and hear them laughing and being loud and see them having a good time and I was all like WOW WHAT A BUNCH OF LOSERS, I'M GOING TO EAT LUNCH BY MYSELF ON A BENCH OUTSIDE AND LISTEN TO SLIPKNOT BECAUSE I'M COOL.

I'm only now accepting my interests and hobbies, I only wish I had done it years and years sooner.

You gotta take a look in the mirror, not just at other people that share you interests.

Mox _____ cards are expensive.

Just google "the most expensive magic cards".

does anybody want to be my friend on mtgo?

Pls

I'm about to buy some fake black lotuses for the lols.

>>35764616

damn, good to know, thanks for the info.

I know he had a bunch more cause that's all he ever spent his money (and my money) when he was like in grade 8-ish. I guess he just threw them away when he got into black metal and other things instead. At least I've got those that survived through the years.

>>35764563

I'm the anon with the hand-me-down collection and even 20 years ago I heard my bro talking about that card and how it was worth hundreds of dollars back then.

I imagine it must be worth a pretty penny these days.

>>35764694

Demonic tutor isn't anything crazy, it's like $15-$20 online.

>>35764725

Yep around 4grand to 30 grand, depending on the version and condition of the card.

>>35764726
hey it's definitely more than what I expected for a piece of paper.

magic was a big chunk of my life
I had this spergy senpai, that introduced me to magic and every time we met, we'd just play mtg for hours without a minute of offtopic conversation. Our parents would occasionally make jokes about that, and once we overheard them and this made us laugh at them
this feature, that mtg is asperger friendly, is a big plus, but not all nerds are robots and definitely no all robots are nerds

maybe he's in here right now? that would be an awkward meeting

>>35761670
but this thread belongs to >>>/tg/

>>35764949
nearly 100% of all threads on /r9k/ belong on some other board.

This is better than arguing about politics or penises

Damn thanks for the thread OP, while looking for the old cards I also went through my old comic book collection, some of which go back to the 70s, and plenty of other childhood stuff like Pog slammers.

Also since MTGO is shit and the DotP games get boring and repetitive after a while and cocktrice/xmage interface are the same shit as MTGO, anyone thought of playing MTG through tabletop simulator? Getting your own decks online or even drafting/sealed is pretty easy.
