But yeah, I have a friend who prints proxy cards, which is helpful considering I ask for his help when it comes to playing with some of the more pricy cards. But yeah, 99% of my cards are legit. If I were to ever go to tournaments, it would be a quick and easy thing to just swap out the proxy cards for legal ones. I maybe only use two in each EDH Commander deck I have.



True. I don't feel as guilty with Magic cards considering if I were to get tired of the game, it's possible to resell the cards and make back most of the money (or potentially make a profit depending on if the value went up enough).

I have also spent money on virtual fluff also. It's not a big deal, if you put it to good use one way or another, then it's not a waste.
I guess it's true that Magic cards can hold on to their value or go up. My friend has sold a fair few on eBay after he realised some of his old ones were actually worth a bit now!

I can't bring myself to buy virtual items. ;_; Even though I've played plenty of games online where that's possible. I haven't even bought items in the free to play Pokemon games and am instead stuck playing Pokemon Picross training every day for 12 days before I can unlock the next area. xD If I buy something, I like to be able to hold it. I don't even like buying digital copies of games! (Gonna have to break that rule for RBY rereleases...)

I bought this mug the other day because I saw it in the shop and how could I resist?!?!?!
