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” […]

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 […]
