  • I’d rather not have foils because they’re more delicate and I have to take more care to prevent them from curling.

    When I used to play constructed formats, I’d sometimes entertain the thought of getting foils of only certain key cards as a signal to help me recognize them faster. I had a similar thing with my old Modern Tron deck, where my Tron lands were the only white-border cards, so they were really easy to pick out while searching my library. I never ended up doing that with foils, though.






  • Fandom-hosted wikis suck. They suck really badly with their forced site theming, banner ads, video ads, and links to other on-site wikis you don’t care about. Magic’s community wiki used to be fine when it was hosted on Gamepedia but Fandom Inc bought that and made it shitty. Fandom is a terrible landlord.

    Thankfully, Scryfall started up an independent wiki and ported the content over to it. Everyone’s there now but Fandom policy is to never let wiki admins delete their wiki because they leech clicks from their strong SEO. The best way to counter this (in all the games, etc. with wikis you use) is to always link to independent community wikis to float them higher in search results than Fandom Inc.

    Path of Exile’s community pulled that off!
