Trading Card Collecting Nerds, Unite!

Hey @neffa3 . Download the Arena app on your phone or iPads. This is 'free-to-play' online Magic. I put 'free-to-play' in quotes because its filled with in-game digital purchases. There are some good tutorials where you learn the rules playing against computer opponents before being pitted against real people. Id recommend just playing thru the tutorial matches for a rules crash course and refresher, then deleting the app so the kiddos dont get hooked on it.

I will second this. Only thing is that I wouldn't tell them to delete it. I spend a lot of time playing MTG Arena and really love it. I'm cheap and don't put any money into it and play at the mythic rank pretty easily. The competition in ranked play is good but not tournament level by any means. Lots of fun events too, especially with draft formats that keep the game very fun and fresh however the competition is much more competitive here it seems than playing ranked.

The lower example was what I would have expected

There are cards that require the colorless mana. Meaning, its not a generic mana requirement but a requirement that the mana is a colorless mana. This is the reason for the change.

Oh! There is such a thing as colorless mana?

Yes, any card that says add 2, or add diamond is adding colorless mana. The difference is in the casting costs of cards. If it is a grey circle with a number, it can be paid with mana of any color, including colorless, hence generic. If it is a grey circle with a diamond, it HAS to be paid with colorless mana. See the above card image. One mana HAS to be colorless, the other 2 can be any colorless or any color.

I don’t play that, otherwise I would defeat you with gusto while stuffing Hot Pockets into my mouth!

When my mom passed I got all the cards. They were mine and my brothers , baseball and hockey mostly, most from 70s

No idea if they are worth anything. Anyone know how I can find out?

Any guy that looks like this should be able to steer you in the right direction.



In all seriousness, https://www.beckett.com/online-price-guide if you want to spend the time or you could go down to a store that sells sports memorabilia.

Haha not sure I like them combined lol

Likely a result of the x games though. Lots of artists play at the events and after parties. The more popular the athletes, the more likely you see them on stage.

Also… drugs

Bought this off Amazon a few weeks back. First time in my life I’ve ever had a complete MLB set. My wife and son laughed at me when they saw how excited I was when it came in.
