I had a player in my shop who wanted some banned commander to be playable. He whined about it every time he bought packs, every time we played. So we agreed to have a single night where there were no banned cards. He got his ass handed to him every which way. And mostly by banned cards.
10 copies is a really small amount
I am a really small shop. The allocation is based upon how many people attend my events, which on a busy night is 16. And an average night is 8.
I do in a year whose most of the shops in the city do in a month.
My suggestion is to either look for a smaller shop, or talk with the owner/manager about smaller events.
At my shop I can seat about 20, but events are rarely larger than 10. With non commander events topping at 6 most times.
A lot of players, after beating your pants off, are willing to look at your deck and offer some advice. This can help with your play, as well as introduce you to new friends.
it was pretty clear that this was going nowhere, and the space was a bit louder than anticipated and I could feel myself getting exhausted pretty early.
So yeah, just hoping for an ettiquite lesson.
FLGS owner here, I usually can tell when someone is going to drop. It is always a bummer when it happens. But I never expect anyone to stay especially when they are not having a great time.
During my Aetherdrift prerelease I had a new player join us (she was a long time customer, but has never played in the shop) and I had a feeling she was going to drop, sometimes you can just tell. I was glad she did because I could see the stress on her face.
If the other players give you grief ignore them. I think most shop owners will be understanding about it.
It looks like others have posted about arena in here. And the only mtg arena specific community I see is on .ml
For the love of Jace, can we please get through spoilers for tarkir before we skip onto October’s set?
This gripe is directed at WoTC not OP.
Reposting my comment with this account for visibility as it appears my mtgzone account still is not visible outside the instance.
I opened in October 2018, the first set I carried was Rivals of Ixalan. They are still in my system as $3.99/pack. While Lost Caverns of Ixalan, iirc the last set before Play Boosters, is $4.99 for Draft, and $5.99 for set.
There was one official price increase since I opened, but we also had price changes going from Boosters —> Draft/Set —> Play. MSRP for Foundations Play Boosters are $5.25, while Aetherdrift are $5.49. I am guessing Tarkir will be the same as Aetherdrift.
