I started playing Magic in 1998 and it was a big part of my life for well the majority of it at this point. I remember I signed up for the guru program when I was like 10 just because I wanted the free starter kit so I could have more cards than the two precons I'd managed to afford. They never showed up, but I got 5 basic lands randomly a year afterwards, hooray stupid lands.

Anyway I want to get rid of the last of my collection, its a bunch of stuff I forgot I had stored after I sold off my main collection back in 2018-19, it was bulk, but since I got out these scanner apps have popped up, so I scanned through four or five boxes, enough to give me a head ache and a sore neck. I wasnt expecting much value but .. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kK0dKjirJUIq4ChalqXbShYl2TU7BgEW/view?usp=drivesdk

I'm out of touch with the community the LGS I used to haunt closed shop, my younger family and friends kids arent the type, I can't just throw them away because they're Magic cards and their importance is still some kind of core part of me apparently regardless of how I feel about the game these days. Plus I'm - not rich, a human and not zealously charitable. I also want them to go somewhere they'll be exciting or cool or whatever to someone again. I could just sell off the stuff I put in binder based on the info from the app, but that's only like 600 some cards out of maybe 2500 that I looked through and there's well over 10k total.

Are there any groups that go for big collections or should I try to find like a convention to take them to? What would you do in my shoes?

Oh and the Guru lands aren't in this, my mother burned my first collection..

I’m fairly new and looking for playmats, I found this one on jankmats but I’m worried that the bright pink colors are a bit too distracting and the cards might get hard to see/jumbled in the art. Any opinions on this? Have you ever had or had another player with a distracting playmat? Is jankmats a good website to buy from? Should I go with a more subtle, less colorful and more minimalist playmat? Thanks in advance!

So im attempting to build General Marhault with a banding theme. If I attack with 3 banded creatures and the opponent blocks one of them, do all 3 of the creatures receive the +3/+3? Its such a weird mechanic and any help understanding it and how it interacts would be greatly appreciated!

Your choice whether you interpret this for the lore, the gameplay, the feeling...

Anything goes, expect two or more cards.

This was a fun, nostalgic interview that took me on a trip down memory lane, revisiting Magic’s early history, its iconic cards, and a time when card design was simple yet elegant. Despite that simplicity, the game still delivered incredible strategic depth, a testament to just how timeless those designs were.

What I found fun was the top 5 mtg cards from Garfield

Shahrazad
Sleigh of mind
Memory lapse
Goblin sharpshooter
Lord of the pit
(He added another number 5 Millstone)

Brian also discussed his top 5
Necropotence
Mana drain
Hypnotic specter
Disrupting scepter
Liquimetal torque

Hi all. If I have a Crystalline Sliver out granting all slivers shroud and choose sliver for Arcane Adaptation, can I use the first ability of Sliver Overlord to search my library for a sliver?

I was confused by the wording on Arcane Adaptation - are all creature cards in my library counted as slivers with shroud, meaning I can’t use overlord to tutor for them?

I haven't seen anything on it yet so I was curious if anyone knew if there would be any theme packs for the prerelease? Like how you chose a school for Strixhaven or a guild for Ravnica?

I'm hoping it might be for the 5 factions depicted in the Battle of the Five Armies, any thoughts or confirmations?

EDIT: Thanks for the quick reply everyone! Bummed I won't have a certified dwarf pack but I guess I'll just have to hope for awesome pulls!

As the title says. What MTG art do people really like or art stands out to them?

Some of mine favorite pieces are

[[overlord of the balemurk]]

Extended art version of [[strix serenade]]

[[golden glow moth]]

[[progenitus]]

[[gift of orzhova]]

The OG [[Dark ritual]]

Year of the rat SL [[pack rat]]

I’m wanting to hang a bunch of MTG art work through out my home and would love to see others favorites. Who knows, I might find some new art that becomes one of my favorites

From what I found looking into it, it seems fine since I'd know the full rules text for each card with 100% certainty, but what is the actual etiquette with it and what is the likely outcome of having them in a deck in an RCQ+ type setting?

I'm referring specifically to the JP alt art mystical archives; how common is it to have an opponent ask for oracle text, even if they know the card? Would there be any circumstances where I could get penalized even if I know the rules text? And this is with multiple cards being jp alt art, so more than 1 distinct card that would be foreign language.

Looking for something symbolic. He was a big big fan of Bolas, but all of the Bolas cards he liked are very expensive(out of my range right now.) We've been playing magic together for the better part of 10 years. I miss him dearly. Magic was his life. I was hoping to find something reminiscent of eternal friendship. I appreciate any help.
