^^^ They've reprinted creatures with actual Horsemanship so I'm not sure why it's a surprise.Angry Grimace posted:Alleged shots of FTV: Annihilation. Including the two P3K cards makes it fairly legit, though there are some questionable choices (Living Death has been reprinted a few times recently and the new art doesn't look like an improvement).

Hell ya I needed some cataclysms for my death and taxes decks. JerryLee posted:The point, as Nehru the Damaja illustrated, was that they actually still have a gilded-age-robber-baron negative effect on the guy at the end who just wants to buy some Magic singles, they just see a hilariously small portion of that inflation themselves, so basically they're not just destructive, they're destructive and (in retrospect) dumb. I will never stop laughing at the comparisons of MTGOX (both bitcoin and magic online exchanging) to robber barons who think themselves as captains of industry. :hi5:

mcmagic posted:If you guys are watching a game during a local tourney, do you point it out if you see someone, for instance, play a card they don't have the mana for and no one else notices? I did this last night and felt like a shitheel... I point out errors. Last week at a Standard tourney at my LGS a guy played the Temple of Triumph first turn. Second turn the opponent played Pack Rat, and the WR player played a Plains and then dropped Chain to the Rocks on the Rat. I waited until the opponent drew a card before I spoke up that he misplayed since no Mountains on the field. When I pointed it out the WR player swept and said he couldn't win without that Chain at this point. Not sure if it was intentional or a mistake, but I am happy I brought it up.

At Regular REL, the rules actually allow you to ask players to pause a game while you call a judge. Mostly you'll be fine if you just mention it aloud, though. "Hey dude, that isn't a mountain." EDIT: Okay, I guess Commander too. Basically it can't ever go into Standard, because it has zero advantages over flying from a game design perspective.

The tone of the article itself is less whiney, but if someone in this thread posted "My Spec Quadrupled But I Only Made $.75 Each" then they'd be roundly criticized for being a whiner. You failed to reap fat stacks trying to quick-flip a card that people only want 1 of and sold your lot in bulk. We're not surprised. Finding a buyer is the hardest part of selling a thing.

Angry Grimace posted:Isn't Horsemanship just flying with nothing else to it? It has similar rules to flying (creatures with Horsemanship can only be blocked by other creatures with Horsemanship) but with a couple of minor differences. Namely, there's no Reach equivalent ability that can stop Horsemanship, and both Flying and Horsemanship creatures can't block one another. Rolling Earthquake is great because it somehow kills flying creatures. I like to imagine it turns all flying creatures into Whippoorwills. And somehow riding on a horse makes you immune to the earthquake. Mercury Crusader fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Apr 30, 2014 |

It throws rocks into the air that hit the birds but a horse and rider are smarter than a bird* so they can dodge all the rocks. *you actually need the mystical bond between the horse and the rider to buff your intelligence to this level, which is why neither an equine by itself or a human by itself are immune. Hire me, Wizards creative.

Samael posted:It's fake. I see people dismissing these based on the font but I don't see it. A lot of people seem to be saying that its the matrix bold font for lower case letters but I haven't seen someone post an actual comparison just dismissals. The fact that three of the cards (Smokestack, Armageddon, and Cataclysm) all have new art that hasn't been revealed yet makes me believe that this isn't fake unless someone refutes that with something besides "Font!!!!".

Speculators can't simultaneously be Robber Barons who price the little guy out of the game and total morons who don't actually ever make money. Their impact is tiny, the few times we've seen speculation be the main driver of prices like say, Nivmagus Elemental, the price spike has been hilariously short lived, to the point that no one was in anyway "priced" out of buying the card for more than a few days. Ghave is more expensive right now for the exact same reason Underground Sea is retailing for 300. Because more people want it now than they did before.

Toshimo posted:My closet is sadly empty of MMA boxes, but it may contain 20 playsets of SDCC walkers waiting for just 1 more spike. You....are just a terrible person aren't you. I want one of those sets  I'm curious how you got so many? I'm assuming you scooped them up from all the assholes who bought them out for no other reason than to immediately resell them, thereby preventing everyone who actually, you know, just WANTS this thing for their collection from buying any. Singles speculation's debatable to an extent, but the SDCC thing really pissed me off....mostly because I went in 2012 and WOTC didn't do poo poo for MTG, they were too busy masturbating to Kaijudo, and then BAM, the next year I don't go and they have something amazing at their booth. I would have been one of thirteen people buying them who actually just wanted it and wasn't drooling over free money.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:Isn't Imperial Seal $800 because of speculation? Imperial Seal is 800 dollars because its an incredibly rare card that has a powerful effect. While we don't know the exact print run for P3K but we do know it was the smallest print run from the Portal line, a product already with a small print run compared to typical sets its very likely that its print run is far closer to the 50 Million for ABU Combined than it is for say, Odyssey. Its not surprising Imperial Seal is so expensive.

And those times this happens, like Nivmagus Elemental, or say Amulet of Vigor, the effect is so brief as to not really inconvenience anyone for more than a couple of days. Tharizdun posted:It's the MtG equivalent of "bitcoinsGhave's are going up uP UP!" Ghave is a very popular card from a product with a notoriously small print run, and interest in the game has grown significantly since its release.
