 This is such a sweet design, I want to make a pauper commander deck around this. Stuff it with fliers and unblockable stuff (is there even such things on common?), maybe some shadow stuff and just smash everyone's face with 4/1s.

It also makes your things that give -X/-1, deal at least 1 damage to an attacking creature get rid of their dudes swinging in, especially if they miss that you can do it on their turn.

Pretty sure the new iteration of MODO has broken Ninjutusu. The second I attack it won't let me Ninjutsu anything in if they don't declare blockers. It just goes to the damage step. WTF

I feel like it's definitely a better defensive ability than offensive. It enables some very powerful plays for just one card.

Yeah there are a ton of (mostly blue) creatures at common with "can't be blocked". Throw in some Spreading Seas effects and you can include islandwalk and swampwalk.

Yeah I think that's because they never appeared in draft/sealed because the collation was off, so there was no way to catch em all and it was impossible to do set redemption. So they just gave everyone some

So if the bots will buy your VMA boosters for $7.08, but it only costs 6.99 from the store, why don't people just buy the packs and sell them back to the bots for arbitrage?

I think the new site redesign has broken every single legacy link to articles.  I go back to MaRo's set design and color philosophy articles a lot for cube design. gently caress. Yes, I'm aware of the archive, but I'm not eager to page through, like, 6 years of articles with MaRo's punny titles. Kasonic fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Jun 19, 2014 |

If sales tax isnt the answer, the value of a ticket on the secondary market might be. Selling tix for cash never gets you 1 for 1, usually like .97 for 1, which leaves you with less than the 6.99 you paid.

What a Judas posted:I'm not quite sure where you're 1.04 from a 9 cent difference. Well, if you get 97 cents for a ticket by selling it and you obtain tickets at 1.08 tix per dollar, I think you end up with 1.04 per dollar, right?

If you buy 1000x boosters at $6.99/ea ($6990) and sold them for 7.08 tix apiece (7080 tix) and then sold the tix @ $0.97ea you'd end up with $6867.6 a net loss of $122.40. You'd only make $18 if you could find 1=1 dealer and buyers for all those boosters.

At my FLGS they've received the M15 prerelease 'statue', it's of Garruk (same art as In Garruk's Wake it looks like) and weighs quite a bit. Expect to see them no sooner than June 26th IIRC, so, next Thursday/Friday at the earliest.

Angry Grimace posted:I can't wait for WOTC to troll us and bring Liliana of the Dark Realms back for more. We do know a liiiittle about the core set Planeswalkers, given that we've been getting a lot of physical merchandising based on M15 recently. Not that this merchandising necessarily aligns with reality, but: There's probably going to be six Planeswalkers in the coreset: the Lorwyn 5 + Nissa, which probably means Garruk will be GB. The art on the boxing is new Jace art, new Garruk art, new Nissa art, Chandra Pyromaster, and Liliana 1.0. Of course, with the new art they could just be new-art versions of older cards, so no idea. We're unlikely to see Jace Memory Adept and Liliana of the Dark Realms again because Magic R&D have acknowledged since even before M14 actually came out that Jace Memory Adept is just obnoxious in limited even as a Mythic, and they've also said that they screwed up Liliana of the Dark Realms since she doesn't really play like a Liliana should. She's too diluted. To be honest I would not be surprised if the new-art Jace was a reprint of either Jace 1.0 with new art or a reprint of Architect of Thought with new art. Both are good without being oppressive / obnoxious. Zorak fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Jun 19, 2014 |

If your opponent offers a split in the finals of an 8-4, it's wise to accept. There's some karma thing going around where those who refuse to split generally get smushed.

I was betting on new Nissa, Ajani COP, Pyromaster, new Garruk, Jace AOT and Lili 1.

Oh, and the Ajani art on the Ajani packaging also has new art, but it would be kind of weird to get a new Ajani immediately after getting... a new Ajani. Not that it couldn't happen. In the art on the packaging he appears to be wearing Elspeth's cloak.

I was originally hoping that Liliana of the Veil would be in M15, then I realized how bad Standard would be if all the mono-black decks added Liliana as well.

If this was something planned, it wouldn't really matter. The lead time on sets is too long for them to have decided to just remove Liliana of the Veil if she was actually in there (which of course, I highly doubt). I also don't think they really care that much about Super Standard. The current monoblack devotion deck won't exist when Tarkir block is legal unless Tarkir block has some serious enablers that plug right in where Pack Rat, Desecration Demon, Underworld Connections and Mutavault are.
