Check with the trading/selling thread in SAMart, I've seen stuff like that go down there before. I don't have any personal experience though.

Comparing them to alters is actually perfect; that's what I would consider them to be, too. They obviously aren't for you, so instead of saying you'd pay a fraction of what a given card is worth, you should simply say you wouldn't buy them to begin with. :)


Except that's not true. I'd honestly pay a bit more for an intentionally miscut card than what I'd pay for a proxy, like what BaronVonVaderham makes, as it's legal for tournament use, and I'd pay a premium over what a near mint version of the same card is worth for an accidentally miscut card, just as I would pay a premium for a certain stamp, but in the end, when buying an intentionally miscut card, it's no different than buying an altered card. If I need the card for my deck, and I had no other option, I'd buy it, but for as little as I could get away with paying for it.

I like miscuts for their aesthetic, rather than their origin. I don't particularly care if they're hand cut, so long as they're playable.

For what it's worth, I disagree with the analysis regarding Rage of Purphoros. Rather, he's right; it does wheel pretty often, and it most definitely should not. It's one of the best removal spells in the format, and I would consider seeing it mid pack one a reasonable sign that I could snag some more good red spells.

Word! I really like the card and it did a lot of work for me at the botg per release event. I think I would have done better in R/x just based on the other red stuff I passed.

la calaca tilica y flaca
On GP Richmond weekend all the even-somewhat-serious players were out of town at that and I went to FNM and we only just managed to scrape together 8 of the crappier players including myself. So imagine my surprise when I looked at the final card of pack 2 to see Lash of the Whip. I actually turned it over and said "what the gently caress are you guys doing?" (I wasn't in black) and at least 3 people said "that card costs too much to be any good."

I ran 4-0 last night with mono-red aggrovotion, but it ran a little weird. I lost the first game of each round except the first, always to mana flood. I then sideboarded out two or three mountains, Ash Zealots and Stormbreath Dragons, and sideboarded in my Burning Earths and Mizzium Mortars, and easily won afterwards. My favorite game was the one where my opponent, running an RWB deck with 16 dual color lands and a few other basics, was stuck at three life, while I had 2 Burning Earths out. He asked if I had a lightning strike, as he ended his turn. I said no, and he settled back in his chair, thinking he had another shot, as I drew, and cast Fanatic of Mogis.

Conversely, what card has been printed the most with the fewest unique arts? If you don't count special promo versions, Fireball has like 16-18 printings with only two arts. The text has changed far more often than the art :v:

I played the straight RG version (basically Makihito Mihara's PT Theros deck) for a while and games like that weren't terribly uncommon. You could routinely get 4+-for-oned and it wouldn't matter at all.

I don't understand these U/W players who refuse to consider Celestial Flare in their sideboard. Practically every variant of Green decks right now bring in 4 Mistcutters post-board.

How long has he been on Mono Black? Agreed with Celestial Flare in the sideboard or even maindeck. Flare is really only bad against a few aggro decks where they'll just sac their weakest creature. Against a lot of other decks there will be times they swing with 1 giant creature and fall right into the trap. At worst you teach them to swing with mana dorks and that can interrupt their mana curve.

Froehlich's win alongside Ochoa's means the two players sit at a combined 15-1 with the deck heading into the final round, positioning the variant for a strong run in Day 2.

So EFro designed a non-pack rat Rakdos Midrange deck that is apparently doing really well at GP Cincinnati. No deck list yet but sounds pretty stock other than lack of rats.

Don't have his list on me but I can certainly ask him for it the next time I see him (probably sometime next week).

I mean, with how many cards he drew Game 1, you pretty much saw 90% of his deck, and I think the commentators mentioned his sideboard between games, so you can just find that spot on the stream.
