Doubtful, the first cat lived hundreds of thousands of years ago...

That's why you start with the different binders and organize cards into binders as you go.

In which binder does the cat go?

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 9 points 1 week ago

Straight to jail

[–] NovaSel@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The cat gets their own binder silly!

Wouldn't the colors already be organized if each set was put in series?

[–] racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why bother? There is only one colour.

You’re correct. This comic is ruined.

How do you check the rarity? I have my inventory on deckbox.org but I don't think it shows rarity. Is it worth exporting to another site?

[–] moody@lemmings.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Since the Exodus set, back in 1997, the expansion symbol on each card shows the rarity. Black for common, silver for uncommon, and gold for rare. They added red later for mythic rarity.

Most sites should allow you to see rarity in text form, and allow you to filter and sort by it.

Thanks! I probably should have picked up on that from the wildcard colors in Arena. But I never realized that it applied to the set symbols.

I discovered there's also a printed C/U/R/M in the lower left of a card that tells you the rarity outright (maybe helpful for colorblind folks).

[–] moody@lemmings.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's a bit more recent. I think that's only since the Dominaria card frame update. Older cards won't have that on them.

[–] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah I just went through my collection and noticed that (recently filled my first binder). Thanks.

If you have one, it's rare, if you have six, it's not.

disclaimer: all my card games are the kind you play poker with

Nah, with MtG I have a bunch of "rare" cards, because it just means they printed fewer in the set compared to the commons. But those can still be plentiful. If I wanted to spend $1.50 each on six copies I totally could, that's not hard to afford.

But I like Commander, which is a singleton format, so I only need one copy each.

The actual rare $10k+ cards are either super old from the early days of the game or special numbered collectors' prints.

There's C/U/R/M on the bottom of the cards

(Common, Uncommon, Rare, Mythic Rare)

Second cat?
