I thought he was technically the artifact walker, but making him an artifact as well as a planeswalker would make him only more busted.

If you are running a black deck, you should be running as many Rituals as you can find. This is why they don't print Ritual anymore. Jenx posted:Well, no. Technically he's Colorless, because he has no color in his mana cost and no color indicator showing him as a specific color. I meant storywise, he's the 5-color 'walker. He's not going to be printed as such because a 5-color walker is an unplayable waste of design space.

Karn being colorless makes sense, but short of him going Super Saiyan and representing all five colors, there's probably not anyone (alive if you include Urza) that represents all five colors in the story as of yet. Not to mention that the color involved generally influences that person's personality (or the other way around), so what kind of personality would someone representing all five colors have?

The history of good five color cards combined with the history of good 5 mana Planeswalkers. bhsman posted:Karn being colorless makes sense, but short of him going Super Saiyan and representing all five colors, there's probably not anyone (alive if you include Urza) that represents all five colors in the story as of yet.

Some kind of Legion type character would work. Or just a Sliver Queen.

Man, I'm gonna miss Caller of Beasts though. That Garruk was fun. So, what do you guys think our Walker Lineup is gonna look like? I'm thinking YetAnotherGoddamned Jace, Chandra Pyromaster, Dark Realms Lili, one of the Ajanis, and some kinda G/B Garruk to headline things. Maybe Nissa to fill the green slot to go with all those plushie toys we saw a few months ago.

Nicol Bolas is the only multicolor walker to show up in a core set, and I think it's probably staying that way for a while. I'm guessing: W: Some Gideon variant since Gatecrash rotates out U: 50/50 bet on Jace vs. Tamiyo B: Garruk. R: Koth. Maybe not KotH, since he's about due for a refresh. G: Nissa.

Speaking of the art from that article, interesting to see a depiction of Thalia standing aside to let Liliana open the Helvault. Just spare art they had around?

Look at the price of modern and standard staples online right now; theyre all plummeting. If I would venture a guess, people are now buying into Vintage on mtgo and selling unused cards for other formats to fund it. Alternatively, speculators are trying to put all their capital into Vintage for whatever reason.

In all seriousness, I think its more like the major bot chains share prices and have a monopoly on setting card prices. In other words, lower the price (including the buy price), then just raise prices over the week and you've made thousands and thousands of dollars. Yes, I'm salty about cashing out of Black Lotus at its absolute bottom price. Angry Grimace fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Jun 17, 2014 |

Ableist Kinkshamer posted:I also want to believe this, but it seems kinda I agree I have no evidence of this occurring, but I don't think its baseless speculation. This is how monopolies work and why they are generally illegal. The larger bot chains really do have a monopoly on the pricing of MTGO cards, especially given most of them share prices, not to mention the fact that bot chains cannot really generate resources on their own. They require users to sell to them. Its not even really questionable that this series of events results in bot operators profiting immensely. I suppose its up to each person to determine whether this series events entirely within the bot owners control is merely :ronpaul: at work or price manipulation.

Cernunnos posted:My question is are these prices going to lead to "My digital cardboard futures investment fund I suspect the prices are going to descend some more as drafts continue. We're at peak demand but not peak supply for Vintage staples. Of course the decline in price tapers off for each additional unit of supply, so we're not going to see another drop as significant as when they started drafting VMA.

neetengie posted:S-so if I can, I should finish making Modern Jund? I have most of the cards for MODO already (TSeize, Lilis, Bobs, etc) except for Coursers, Oozes, and Goyfs. Should I buy in or keep waiting? The MODO market moves too quickly to effectively time purchases based on getting in at the bottom; by the time you know when the bottom was hit it's too late to get that price. Better to just buy in when it reaches a price you're comfortable with.
