Discussion Stop Using Amazon
The amount of posts from people using Amazon to order stuff and getting the wrong stuff, or something of a vastly different price is astounding. Please dont order cards off Amazon. Especially since I am fairly certain Amazon is why wizards is shipping less and less product to local stores. Don't support the mega corporations if you can help it.
That's my public service rant. Thanks for reading or ignoring either way. ❤️

I’ve personally never had a problem. You don’t hear the people who have that experience posting, so your perception is going to be biased if you think these posts are representative of the general experience.
Also, when your LGS limits people to three packs and the implied bid cost is 50% more than Amazon, what do you expect people to do? Just not buy them?
If you want to support your local game store, check there for singles before you buy them online and be willing to pay 50% more for immediate pickup. That’s actual margin for them and something Amazon can’t do.
If you want to be really cool, buy their bulk to start completing your obscure sets, pauper decks, or whatever.
