Ultimately him leaving the company was mostly because he sort of favored the quick turn around and I'll-just-do-it-myself aspect of smaller teams / start-up developers as opposed to MTGO's own pretty large and careful development.

Let's not forget that his long-time girlfriend of many many years broke up with him days into working at WotC. I've been in the same position myself, and I just left the job I started at after a couple of months because I was just so shook up by it, and I can only imagine how rough it was on him.

Apparently there's boxes of Japanese M15 that are considered "misprint" because the foil planeswalkers in the boosters are missing loyalty values on them. If you actually manage to find one of these planeswalkers, they're going for a ton?

Anyway, I only mention it because I won one of these boxes at FNM tonight, and promptly turned around and traded it back to the store for $120 in credit. Because I'm lazy.

So, can anyone fill me in on a good place to sell cards/buy boosters and tickets for cheaper than in the MTGO store? I pulled a Nissa, Worldwaker in my first non-new-player MTGO draft, and quite fancy using her to pay for a couple more drafts. I'm not really all that sure how to go about it though. Advice?

Use the classifieds and post it up for full retail according to mtgogoldfish or mtgowikiprice. Just wait a few minutes or hours and youll sell it.

Not that everything Ultra Pro makes is total garbage, I've been switching over to these Satin Tower deck boxes from my previous fat packs filled with cheap deck boxes system and they are nice as hell.

Going back a bit here, but the old UltraPro "Metalized" sleeves that they used to make are still the best sleeves I've ever used - I still have a couple of packs that I've had for like ten years, and they still shuffle smoothly and look great (not one has ever split, either). I happened to find some for sale recently on Amazon from a single seller while scouring the net for them the other day, and bought them out (only 5 packs). I certainly agree that their base picture sleeves these days are not high quality, but those Metalized sleeves hold a special place in my heart.

I don't think it's going to be a money card in the long term, personally. Mono Red aggro is usually a safe bet after new sets / metas appear, and it's a good card in that deck in Standard. I don't think it's going to be a thing in Modern outside gimmicky decks.

Scg dallas just reversed every match result from rd 1, and asked everyone to line up to get it fixed. When the line wrapped around the venue and out the doors, they decided to just repair everyone.

So, expect coverage to start later than usual, I guess.

Cheapest this morning is $4.29 w/shipping on TCGPlayer. I'm expecting to see a bunch of the RabbleRed decks at FNM since the deck is fairly cheap to build and pretty fun to play

I preordered my box of M15 and really wanted to make sure I got my rabblemaster promo because it was a week prior to release.

The store owner's response. "You'll get your promo, but I don't know why you want it so badly. The card is poo poo."

Last laughs on me :smuggo:

I assume the $4 pricetag is almost entirely attributable to M15 being a new, barely opened set, combined with excessive Pro Tour hype. Firedrinker Satyr is a rare just the same, in the same deck, and is barely 50 cents.

On the pro tour now there's a section where they compare different nationalities and how they're doing in terms of points. I can't help but feel that there's a better name for this section than "The Top Races".

Well it's a good thing that nationality doesn't determine race or it would be a pretty funny pun.

Don't worry, it's the Simplified Chinese M15 planeswalkers. You didn't miss out on a hot gambling opportunity.

Compare it to Tidebinder Mage then, which spiked during the fall Pro Tour to almost the exact level Rabblemaster has, and immediately begin its steady decline thereafter.
