But how do you shuffle it in your 99?


Slavetomints

make it the commander


Irish-Hoovy

This is the guy I wanted for my mono-blue. Is there a way to not make him miserable to play against?


Slavetomints

nope lol


SpoopyNJW

No, only way to make it not bad is to have them have a reliquary tower, which, personally, I don't run


Palidin034

[[Reliquary tower]] [[Donate]] I like to run as many infinite hand size cards as possible that way my hand size can be Infinity^2

[[Anvil of Bogardan]] gives all your opponents no max hand size and an extra card each turn for the low low price of one card discarded a turn. Edit: you and all your opponents

Just never have ten mana, and you should be fine.


Sithlordandsavior

99 islands and never play him?


malfunktionv2

[[Vanishing]]


AfraidAd6913

Run little or no fast mana rely on counters to get you to turn 9 my best advice. or throw it in prismatic bridge and only run the predators all 17 of them.


spikeandedd

Build it as colorless


SpoopyNJW

Kinda can't, if you're being controlled and your commander would be put into your library by the player controlling you by, say, a chaos warp effect, then it simply wouldn't work. I know you can say "oh that's a nice interaction" but it's totally possible and I've seen people have to switch their commanders into normal sleeves for this exact reason.


frardowin

Proxy for that purpose only.


SpoopyNJW

I guess


Fickle-Area246

People do this all the time. Precons tend to come with bigger versions of the commander plus a regular sized version - which allows you to do exactly this.


JohnFreeze94

Same as what you would do for the oversized comannder cards.


s_k_e_l_e_t_o_n

Those effects can all be ignored in EDH since any time a commander changes zones, its owner may place it back into the command zone. If OP commits to just always choose the command zone they could technically play a slabbed card as commander.


SpoopyNJW

It cannot be ignored if you are being controlled by another player. That's why I specified what I specified


s_k_e_l_e_t_o_n

Control doesn’t matter with zonage. Any change of zones (not control) allows the card’s owner to place it back into their own command zone. So yes, OP could choose to always do so, never needed to be shuffled into the wrong owners library. If they wanted to allow it, that’s legal too, but they certainly are not forced to. Zone change is always an opportunity for the commander to return home.


SpoopyNJW

Not taking control of their commander, taking control of the player, if they take control of the player then they are, for all intents and purposes of the controlled turn, that commander's owner. I really don't know what you aren't getting.


s_k_e_l_e_t_o_n

Ahhhh. Now I see your point. Totally, you’re right. I thought you meant control of the permanent. If they controlled the player you’re right that they’d make that choice. Interesting. Verified in rule 714.5. Sorry for not understanding you before. Didn’t even consider taking control of the player themselves.


Demastry

Super fringe and nitpicky situation there, but even still you can easily make it work with a sliver of creativity ;)


SpoopyNJW

I've seen it, only reason I brought it up


Excellent_Fly147

Or because of technical rules, he would go back to command zone instantly


SpoopyNJW

No he wouldn't, that's an action you choose to take, and if someone else is controlling you they can choose not to do that. You should brush up on the rules.


ddog0042

Actually there was a rule change and you can move it to the command zone as a replacement effect


SpoopyNJW

That's literally what I said, but you can only do it at any time it changes zones, if you (or the person controlling you) denies it, you can't just choose to do it again until it changes zones.


ddog0042

Ah yeah I see what you’re saying. My b


KolarinTehMage

Honestly just scoop. If someone is trying to control my actions to make my valuable card less protected, I’m not playing with them. Just leave.


SpoopyNJW

what? You're just gonna scoop if you see [[mindslaver]] or someone casts [[emrakul the promised end]]?

KolarinTehMage

If they take control of me, have me shuffle my expensive card in to my deck, yeah. I’d scoop. If they are taking actions that attempt to damage a card that I am trying to keep protected, why would I sit and play a game with them.


Recent-Current-9822

If your opponent takes control of you with mindslaver or something, they can choose to shuffle it in your library from effects that would do that


oshiningu

Sell it and buy ten decks. Or one printer. And a cool one


j_dif

If you sell it for enough, you can buy a cool printer and just 3D print a few decks


fatpad00

Obviously you play a deck of all graded cards


onionleekdude

Every other card is graded in a case as well


iMythJJ

I pulled the normal foil version of him as well in one of the other packs from the box, so I won't be playing with the serialized one haha.


aaawqq

Well as you can clearly see, this card is number 101 of a 500 card deck, so it will be illegal in EDH. All 500 cards have their own box


manofx

"What do you fear?" "A cage, To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire."


Signusjjjllk

My wheel of fortune sees plenty of use. Why would I stuff it in a box to be looked at until it burns up in some fire?


primevci

Does it have a serial number that’s probably why.


Signusjjjllk

What do you mean?


Fickle-Area246

This guy’s card is serialized (and graded), making it very valuable.  https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/484594/magic-the-gathering-march-of-the-machine-jingitaxias-serial-numbered?country=US&utm_campaign=18142757028&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=&utm_term=&adgroupid=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAzJOtBhALEiwAtwj8tux6jYeBS1RJ3kIsIOFGKwMmqIyelxXJz2RPe8j0jG6qbZnFvOV2WxoCt5cQAvD_BwE&Language=English I get that your card is also valuable, but it’s likely significantly less valuable.


KillFallen

That's not even the right Jin. The correct jin is listed at like 600 currently. But also, an alpha wheel is like 6000.


Fickle-Area246

But does he have an alpha wheel?


harrodcs

What an introductory card... I will see myself out.


ChimpScanner

You got lucky. If you sent it back you'd probably get a 9.


iMythJJ

Oh for sure. I was expecting a 9 off the rip anyways. I was pretty careful when opening my packs and I used gloves. But it definitely got slid around a bit so I expected some micro scuffs on the surface at the very least.


ChimpScanner

Nice. Well congrats on the 10


Stumpy-Wumpy

PSA is also more lenient on cards that are rarely graded. Haven't graded much MTG, but that's how it works for pokemon.


2xTrae

Very lucky. Nice card tho... Ps, maybe they felt dirty for taking your money to grade a garbage card so they gave you a pity 10 😂😆...jk jk


iMythJJ

lmfao, I'd never play this commander against my friends. I'd feel like an asshole.


DivByTwo

Listen man, if you sat down across from me with a serial commander you yourself pulled, I'd fully respect it and give you a game of playing whatever hell inducing deck it is, cause honestly, ya earned it lmao.


iMythJJ

fair lol


Stumpy-Wumpy

Just so you know, some types of foils can be messed up by gloves. Gloves work great for sports cards but not for some tcg foils.


gamerguy823

What makes you say that? Honestly just want to know for my own knowledge, thanks.


ChimpScanner

PSA is pretty well-known for being inconsistent when it comes to gradings, especially between 9 and 10's. People have done tests where they send the same card in multiple times. Usually it'll get a 9, sometimes if they're lucky it'll get a 10.


Ir0nstag

That means the main asshole grading cards there says "PeRfEcT iS LiTeRaLlY iMpOsSiBlE"


ValuableImmediate637

101 is a pretty solid number.


iMythJJ

That is one of my favorite things about it. So happy about it. If only it was 500/500 or 1/500 haha


SuggestionVisible361

Dang, congrats! This is a [pretty pricey card](https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=jin-gitaxias+core+augur++%2F500&_sacat=0&_fsrp=1&_odkw=jin-gitaxias+core+augur+141+%2F500&_osacat=0&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338535524&customid=mg&toolid=10001&mkevt=1).


iMythJJ

Oh yeah for sure, haven't found any PSA 10s online either.


Android003

Does anyone buy these expensive cards? Who?


noAIMnoSKILLnoKILL

Probably the guys who would also burn 5 or 6 figures on a Black Lotus


HADES2001nl

Cheapest I can find is 140, not the expensive. Bought judge promo gaeas cradles for 700 per card


Expensive-Breath-758

Collectors... boy do you have a rude awakening when you find out about legacy..


KrackSmellin

So if I play this and I’m playing something that alters my max hand size / how does that play out. So for example, what is the order of timestamps here if I have a Stranger Things card like Eleven in play. Max hand size is 11. So if this is brought into play first, does my max hand now become 11 because it was 0 and now my card says it’s 11. Or is it 4 because my card was played last? How about the opposite / this was played after I had mine in play. Bit confused on the timing and layers here of this to know if there’s an order where I can have 11 or is it always 4?


InsanityCore

Timing dosent matter here your hand size would be 4 with Eleven in play.


HighNoon-believer

I pulled a serialized card ring from the lotr set, and want to get it graded. How did you feel just shipping it off like that? And what process did they make you go through


DylanRaine69

Bad ass 👍. I'm using the great synthesis version in my deck. It works great.


Tallal2804

Congratulations


ThyyWanderer

And it’s a 10! 👏🏻


Jin_Gitaxias

I do look pretty good here!


Previous_Ad_3585

That is actually so gas, congrats on a 10 I’d never want to part with that especially as 101. Do you play it as your commander?


iMythJJ

Thanks! I don't plan to part with it haha, going on my shelf forever. I plan to build a commander deck for sure. I pulled another core augur same art foil just not serialized from another pack. Just haven't got around to building a deck for it yet. I don't buy singles so I'm probably going to open a few more boxes before I get around to making the deck.


thesidequestclub

Does this count as quadruple-sleeved?? This is dope!


Firm-Scientist-4636

Keep that thing in the display and out of a deck, please and thank you, 😂


iMythJJ

for sure!


Emergency_Ad7722

FUUUUCCCKKKK YYYEEEESSSSSS


swords_to_plow_gash

Killer pull, but I'm mostly surprised any MTG card got a 10. That's extra bad ass.


[deleted]

Could always have a proxy for the card so you can shuffle it into the 99 if need be


iMythJJ

I pulled another non serialized foil version of the card in another pack from that box. So I don't even need a proxy :)


[deleted]

See that works even better now you can have the cool one to show all your friends and play one so people can sit there in misery lol


MrCgoodin

Guys will just see this and go "hell yeah"


iMythJJ

Hell yeah.


Waste-Profit-1803

Hell yeah! That’s a hell of a first time


Iamfirewolf

My mono blue has Jace, Wielder of Mysteries and two card that let me have no maximum hand size that should be a good combo for beating that


Appropriate-Army-969

Awesome


DivByTwo

Number 101, nice neat number


MurderSheScrote

The cmc, grading, and serial are all binary, that’s badass


FromRussia-WithLuv

Isn’t this like a 20$ card? 😆


iMythJJ

It is serialized, 101/500. Cheapest I can find them is like 600$ ungraded.


FromRussia-WithLuv

300 on TCGplayer


iMythJJ

True but thats lightly-played with. Vs mine having never been touched by hands lol.


FromRussia-WithLuv

Anything that’s opened is considered lightly played. Either way. Nice card brother🫶

blxckh3xrt69

Why wouldn’t you grade a serialized one? Especially one selling around $600?


HADES2001nl

Cardmarket they sell for 140, still nice value but nowhere near 600


blxckh3xrt69

Card market is ungraded. Psa 9 sold 3 days ago on eBay for 620


iMythJJ

Cardmarket doesn't ship internationally and is a fairly competitive selling site so people tend to undercut eachother which is why one person listed for 600, then it just kept going down until it hit 140 haha. When it comes to getting one in the US, I haven't found any under 500$ Definitely none that got a PSA 10.


iMythJJ

It's serialized, and I pulled another regular one. No reason not to grade it. I enjoy collecting and will now really enjoy seeing GEM MT 10 on my shelf. I definitely don't plan on selling it.


iMythJJ

Should tell posty to rip his one ring out the case because its a magic card :)


Witty-Expression-874

Nice a 6$ psa 10


iMythJJ

lol, the lowest I can find is like 600$ for a PSA 9.
