i didnt know people still play MTG, i remeber before i use to bend booster pack to fish out the foil cards. i use to make lots of money before they closed down the wizards of the coast in u-district in seattle. wow so many crazy memories and about the time they closed down the wizards i quit playing magic because i wasnt making as much money. then again it was a hot spot for crime and i have to confess i did take a lot of money from people who really needed the money for food.
too many rules now for me to keep up with plus i could make much money around here anymore on the game. i use to buy boxes and fish out all the foils and sell the common booster pack to kids now there no kids to buy packs and rare foils. i also did the resealing thing for a while but i usually did a good job fishing our rares i never really ended up with regualar rares.
i did make a good profit off of yu-gi-oh, it was a lot easier to fish out packs becouse there were in order of rarety. pokemon i could never make money because the parent wouldnt let me rip off there childern.
but back on the topic of magic that type two and standard type really nerf the value off alot of the older cards. some times i regret spending so much on Mirage when they changed the blocks.
i bet they could make the cards more valuable if they targeted it to the weeaboos. They should start sucking up anime licensing company and making them into MTG cards. pokemons rules didnt work as well as magic because of all the dice stuff and benching, if i want to hit a baby i shouldn't have to flip a coin, i know in real life its so simple.
I used to play allot i would be at my local comic shop 7 days a week and play but due to current "issues" i haven't played magic in along time nor gone to the shop
my favorite decks are burn,counter and sometimes control
