Nope, MTG cards with small dents aren't automatically unplayable. It really depends on the type of game you're into. If you're just playing casually with friends, a little dent shouldn't matter. However, in official tournaments, you'll want to check the guidelines. Super strict formats might have issues with card condition affecting play or being considered 'marked,' but for the most part, small imperfections are just signs of love and battle scars!

In my experience, small dents haven't been a problem for casual games. I've been playing MTG for years, and what really matters is clear communication with your opponent. If you're playing in a more formal setting, just check the tournament rules or ask a judge. Most times, a sleeve keeps those tiny imperfections out of sight and out of mind.

Hard disagree on the 'dents are okay' take. In competitive play, even small dents can get your card flagged for being 'marked', meaning they could be identified from the back. Always best to use sleeves and keep your cards in the best condition possible for tournaments.

Actually, it's not about the dents; it's about the spirit of the game! Play with your cards, dents and all, especially if it's with friends. Magic is about fun, strategy, and the community. Don't sweat the small stuff.
