For me it's driving while under the influence. If you couldn't tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I simply can't fathom. I've only operated a vehicle once under the influence and it was just to move a U-Haul around the block to a different parking spot, which was such a scary experience while high that I refuse to even consider getting behind the wheel again while high.

This. I won’t play at my lgs because of this, and because I want to play, not be locked out of the game by your broke ass tier 0 $2000 deck.

Also, I don’t buy magic cards anymore because fuck WotC. I will keep and play with my existing cards with my friends. I won’t willingly give WotC another penny.

There’s ways to make some pretty convincing proxies. They say you can’t pirate magic cards, to which I respond yarr

I’m trying to get my play group to talk about proxies. I’d love to get a decent color laser printer and some card stock so we could all play some cards we could never afford, but they’re not into it. I don’t push it, I just mention it once in awhile when it’s t comes up naturally. In the end, idgaf. I’d just love to make some dumb ass commander decks by proxy.

I never understood the anti proxy mentality at just your buddies house. “Everyone spending a ton of money is part of the fun!” No, it’s not, and it makes you bad with money, and it’s incredibly controlling to demand that your friends also be bad with money because you are.

Me either. I mean, it’s only going to amp up the fun. None of us are ever gonna be able to afford a Black Lotus, but it sure as hell would be fun to proxy it.

And I made it clear I’m all for setting guidelines up for our proxying, so if they want to say, not allow the power nine, then fine. There’s still a fuckton of cards I’d love to play with that I’ll never buy.

Oh well.
