Foil cards are the exact same thickness as non-foil. All cards are .0125 inches thick. You can use a micrometer and measure a card from any era and they are all exactly the same. It's probably the slight bend that makes the deck thicker.

As a long time magic player and collector, I finally stopped buying and playing this year. Nearly every pack of cards I've opened in the last year has had significant defects (usually edging). The overwhelming greed of WotC had just gotten so glaringly obvious that it ruined what fun was left in the game for me. That, and the reality of buying a few dollars worth of pretty cardboard for the cost of a night in a nice hotel room just doesn't compute.

Fun story: My mother asked me what I wanted for Christmas last year, around a hundred dollar budget. So I asked for this Secret Lair; I love Magic, it looked like a fun deck. Had I known It would have led to nearly a year of customer service headaches I'd have honestly chose something else. Their sorry was grossly insufficient: those Kamigawa boosters weren't even when Kamigawa was the most recent set (Dominaria United was when I got my apology packs). I also thought all the cards would be in that cool art style instead of just like 5 of them. My mother told me she'd never purchase a product from Wizards of the Coast again, and I don't blame her. Wizards absolutely refused at all ends of customer service we could find to help us, explain what was happening, or update us on anything. They were rude, slow, and just otherwise unhelpful: assuming you could get to a human.

I can't believe WotC had the audacity of sending "angry letters" to the Professor. He has to be one of the most valuable members of this community, always encouraging us to see things not as they are, but as they could be instead. "It's about letting you be in control of what Magic means to you" has to be some of the best advice anyone getting into this game could ever get. If WotC it's not happy about him calling them out on how they are constantly ripping us off, then maybe they could do something about it and see the error of their ways, however unlikely that is. But messing with the Professor is too much, and they would do better in understanding how beneficial he is for this game. Thank you for everything you do for this community, Professor. You are a shining beacon of light on this dark and twisted path WotC is taking us through, and a wonderful human being.

you should do more of these videos, its refreshing to hear your gripes about WOTC and magic in general while sleeving card.

@rossthrasher3167 Год назад

my biggest problem with double sided tokens is that they are really frustrating to organize, I try to keep my tokens alphabetically so its ez to grab what anyone needs.

@SirRiconious Год назад

My solution is to keep the double sided ones seperate, and also in my closet to be forever forgotten except when I get more to throw into it. Recently I also bought those erasable token cards from card kingdom and just stopped using tokens all together.

@MatthewOstergren Год назад

I hate how hard they are to organize. I am thinking about just giving up on the double sided ones altogether because they just take so long to sort through to actually find what I'm looking for.

Some things I would change with this product: 1. Make the "thank you card" a Treasure token on the other side (instead of blank), with custom artwork based on the Secret Lair with which it comes. 2. Make the coin heavier, akin to the first edition of Splendor: give it some heft while not spending too much on making them out of metal. 3. Provide a deckbox that can actually accommodate 100+ double-sleeved cards. 4. Lose the dial: if a player's life total goes above 40, the dial is useless anyway. 5. Keep the foil treatment for legendary creatures and planeswalkers that can be a commander for the deck, similar to the commander decks from 10 years ago.

@Geoff_W Год назад

I would absolutely have cut them some slack before they released 10+ sets in a year. It's obvious they chose profit over their promises, and this product was only the most recent example.

@DonOblivious Год назад

That gray box with an orange interior is TOTALLY my jam. I use cheap plastic boxes from the likes of Legion and Ultra Pro, but I might have to spluge on that Gamegenic. That peek of orange is the exact sort of subtle and in your face blend that I love.

Keep in mind that the company invested your money in that year. They bought revenue generating assets, paid some fat bonuses, and made money off your money generally. That whole time, you had no product and did not have the money that the product cost. They should refund a percentage of these things tbh.

The idea of an “apology” being two collectors’ boosters is such a middle finger to the people who spent the money on this product. The Secret Lair service is so shameless it’s incredible

@eicha41624 Год назад

The issue isn't so much that it took a year. Lots of big projects take time to make. The issue is that in that year, WotC barfed out multitudes of sets, SLs, anniversary products, and commander decks, globally, with few delays. It really did feel like once they had our money, they were in no hurry to deliver

@elijahquervalu7318 Год назад

I suggest a recount of your deck and match them up with the decklist. My full art land was an extra “101” card and I’m pretty sure that was the intention considering some get a mountain and others get an island.

Over a year and I'm still waiting. They didn't put my full address on the package and it was shipped back to the sender. Currently in contact with Wizards support to see if they can ship it back to the correct address. The thing is is I've ordered multiple SL products to this address with that account so I know for sure that my address was correct.

@TitaniumToiletPaper Год назад

Awesome video! Quick note - it looks to me like when you counted the second stack of 20 cards, you actually skipped counting one card and put 21 in that pile (21st being the Counterspell). Therefore I think the extra cool mountain was card #101, and KMC had 100 sleeves (this time). Keep up the great work!

Yes that was the reason they where 50% foil.
