Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.
all cows should wear them!
I think your confusing vests with restraints.
Wow, a bona fide MTG sperg who isn't political. It's nice every so often to see a plain old overinflated ego among all the crazies.
Do you guys think he plays commander a lot? I wonder if he thinks every deck using the same leader is netdecking. A guy who doesn't like infinite combos or having things countered would be in for a rude awakening if he sits down at a 4-player table.

That speaker setup. 10/10.

He posted this video, and it is next level retarded. There is this undercurrent in the MTG community of Magic Finance, who are mainly speds who try to make money on elf games for fat nerds.
To summarize the video, Magic released a new set which has been getting some hype because it's something they haven't done before, blah blah blah nerd speak doesn't matter. Well, being a magic finance nerd, he crunched his numbers and came to conclusion that if you bought a pack for $7, opened it, and then tried to sell the rare (which is the only card in the pack likely to have any value), you'd end up with slightly more than $7, but not enough more to cover your shipping expenses and run a business. His conclusion is that this means that this is a terrible set, that Wizards of the Coast has failed as a company, and everything is going to hell.
It's so fucking dumb. Magic is not some mythical font of free money, where Wizards is printing cards just to make fat nerds money. If I go to my local Ford dealership, buy a truck for $35k, then try to sell it and only get $37k, that doesn't mean that the car industry has failed. I deleted three paragraphs here about how he obviously doesn't understand the basics of economic theory.
Reminds me of the guy who bought a box of the first modern masters set with a payday loan so he could try and sell the cards he got to pay child support
Best MTG financial advice I can give anyone is that unless you have serious big dick money there's no point in investing in cardboard. Even if you have big dick money, you should probably invest in real estate or something else.

If Rudy has proven anything it's that you are just better off sitting on boxes rather than opening them, people end up paying more for the chance to get that good box rather than the individual cards (which each card sent will add up in postage costs). Also didn't Desolator have some sperg about Rudy at some point?
Sealed product is almost always going to be worth more
I believe so.

There's a way to win at Magic without investing tons of cash in it, surprisingly. It's called "playing jank". People may not look at you in the best light, but the feeling of smashing a hundred dollar deck with a twenty dollar one is hysterical.
Most the time the only way that works is playing burn.
Winning with any jank is going to require some other pricier cards to enable it. You might sneak a win here and there but it's not going to be as consistent.
My bad, I should have said burn to begin with. I'm mostly a commander player, and depending on your leader, you can pull off some nasty combos with a cheapass deck. Then again I'm a Goblin scumbag so I don't get to talk.
For about 2 years after Modern became a format, Goblins was my go-to deck. Easily my favorite tribe, and one of the cheapest modern decks you can build. Krenko EDH is still some of the most fun I've ever had playing that format.
It's really sad because watching a lot of Desolator videos in making this thread, I think he honestly believes modern is now like legacy and vintage, a turn zero format (lol) where all three of the players worldwide have had to mortgage their kidneys and sell their wives to continue playing, and if only WotC would ban netdecking and execute all the pro players, their game would be affordable again. As someone who plays all three of those formats in some competitive capacity his takes on how they work is hilariously retarded, maybe that's why I get so much enjoyment out of watching his videos.
Early-meta jank is pretty great tho. I built a token/1-Drop Orzhov aristocrats deck that wiped the floor with pricier stuff. Priest of Forgotten Gods is a good card. But yeah, it still wound up needing things like Seraph of the Scales, Teysa Karlov, more multicolored stuff to trigger Hero of Precinct One etc to stay competitive. Also, jank is really hard to upkeep in standard if you only have one or 2 LGS's you do brackets at, since the reason alot of meta decks stay meta is the ability to play with strong sideboard cards without hampering their gameplan too much.

I'd like to add my experiences with Peter.
About a year ago I discovered his real name and business address and thought I'd have some fun with him. I threatened to release his business information if he didn't stop banning people who disagreed with him (yeah, I was young and stupid. Whatever.) His responses were gold, including saying that my doxxing him would result in people dying, that he had my IP address and retrieved an accurate home address from it, despite, you know, that's not how IP addresses work. He just keeps on saying "I'll have you arrested" thinking it would scare me.
In his words, "Spoiler alert: it didn't."

I mean to be fair you were being an autistic douche lol.Daddy Des said:
Glad to see his writing style is consistent everywhere though. I'm legitimately curious how his customer service at that shop was. The reviews all seemed relatively positive.
I assume he bought reviews from India (or friends and family)? It's a pretty common thing for smaller business.
Somehow, I know this asshole's face and voice, but looking through his videos, I never would have clicked on any of those thumbnails. I'm "impressed" he can stretch a couple minutes worth of content into the better part of an hour, though. He must be using sawdust to get that much filler.
