Shipping & Tracking FAQ: What to Expect and What To Do If You Don’t See Updates

If you’ve ever placed an online order and immediately thought, “Wait… did it go through?” — you’re not alone. Shipping questions are the most common support requests for any e-commerce store, and most of them come down to the same handful of things: processing time, tracking delays, and address issues. This FAQ explains exactly what […]

How to Use MTG Proxies Responsibly

TL;DR: MTG proxies are best for playtesting and casual games where they’re allowed. Ask the organizer/store first, be transparent with your table, keep proxies readable, and never represent or resell them as authentic Magic cards. MTG proxies are a normal part of how many people play today—testing decks before spending big money, protecting expensive staples, […]

Mage Knight Ultimate Board Game Review: Big Box, Big Brain

Mage Knight Ultimate board game has a strange reputation. People call it one of the best solo games ever made and also warn that it will melt your brain. That mix of hype and fear made me curious, so I started digging into what this giant box actually offers, how it plays, and who it […]

Netrunner vs Magic: The Gathering – How They Really Compare

If you hang out around card game people long enough, you’ll hear the same two names over and over: Netrunner and Magic: The Gathering.

The Best Strategies for Using Proxy Dragon in Yu-Gi-Oh! Decks

Proxy Dragon is a staple, early-Link-era card that still teaches great fundamentals: zone management, resource trading, and protecting your most important pieces.

The Lua Stardust “Dust-Up”: What Actually Happened, and What It Says About Magic

When Wizards of the Coast announced the new Commander Format Panel in October 2024, one name on the list kicked off way more discourse than any banlist ever could: Lua Stardust. Lua is a well-known cEDH player, cosplayer, and alternative model who also does 18+ work online. She and her Scrybabies channel have been part […]

Lorcana vs. Magic: Which TCG Is Dominating the Proxy Scene in 2025?

Proxies used to be a niche thing—something you saw in a cube night, maybe a kitchen-table test session before a big event. In 2025 they’re a real subculture. Printers got better, prices climbed (then yo-yo’d), and two games—Disney Lorcana and Magic: The Gathering—now drive most of the conversation. If you’re wondering which one actually “owns” […]

Lorcana’s Rising Popularity: What That Means for the Proxy Market

Disney Lorcana isn’t a niche side project anymore. It has a real competitive circuit, big crowds, frequent set releases, and—no surprise—volatile card prices. All of that changes how, why, and when players reach for proxies. Here’s how it works, and what I believe matters most for players and stores who want healthy games without breaking […]

Taeko the Patient Avalanche Price Spike is Real and Here’s Why

The headline is simple: Taeko the Patient Avalanche jumped from about $6 to nearly $20 in a hurry. That’s a 200%+ move for a card that most players didn’t rate six weeks ago. So what changed? Hype helps, but hype alone doesn’t push real demand for long. The difference this time is that new TMNT […]
