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” […]
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 […]

“There is power in a collective voice.” That’s what people say when a community stands together. Over the past few weeks, the TCGplayer union has shown exactly that. After eBay announced plans to close the Syracuse Authentication Center, unionized workers faced losing their jobs, sparking calls for a boycott. I’ve been following these updates, scrolling […]
Deadpool is a walking punchline, and it feels about right that he’s now crashing a Commander pod near you. Imagine a 5/3 Mutant Mercenary Hero in Rakdos colors (black and red) who’s always ready with quips and questionable life choices. That’s Deadpool, Trading Card. He’s got an odd habit of swapping his text box with […]
This is a matter of opinion. Thomas Clare, in my opinion, is a terrible piece of fucking shit. The language he used in that rambling demand letter is so offensive, it goes beyond the pale. The gaslighting is intense, and the letter itself is a testament to how low some people will go to defend […]
