Comments on: Cards You “Own” vs. Cards You “Rent” https://www.quietspeculation.com/2018/02/cards-you-own-vs-cards-you-rent/ Play More, Win More, Pay Less Tue, 18 Jan 2022 01:44:45 +0000 hourly 1 By: David Schumann https://www.quietspeculation.com/2018/02/cards-you-own-vs-cards-you-rent/#comment-1949893 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 22:24:54 +0000 https://www.quietspeculation.com/?p=86169#comment-1949893 Great article…I will say though I really dislike the players who always borrow cards. We have a few locally and it gets old really quickly. The idea that one should provide something for free simply because they are asked is pretty ridiculous, yet we see it a lot here in the Magic community. I make it a point that only my very good friends are allowed to borrow cards from me and those that have tend to give me something in return (if they do well) as they understand that there is a very real cost to letting people borrow cards…the cards could get slightly damaged and drop down in grade (NM to LP, LP to MP, etc.). There is also the fact that if the card is being borrowed it can’t be traded so you lose out on opportunity cost. I realize this is only a small part of your article, but definitely one that resonates with me.
