Not many FLGS owners I've met in the last 20 years would've tried that sheisty tactic. Sorry that was your experience.

To be fair to your memory of it, imagine what would've happened had you pulled it from the booster? Nevermind the nat-20 IRL that would've been ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿผ, I'm talking about the selling it too soon or hemming & hawing over it until the stress clinched it (see: the former). You're better off without that Black Lotus, most likely.

Like they say, "The story's not in the crits." ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ

I was literally gambling at that point. Though I honestly just wanted one so I could sell or trade for Juzam Djinns. All because I got absolutely wrecked by them at the little tourneys they held at the shop.

They shut down abruptly and I remember starting to go to other local shops and quickly learning they deserved to be closed.
