sarmhan posted:Mantis rider has shot up significantly too. It went from dollar rare status to over 6 dollars. I mean... Mantis rider is as fast a clock as Stormbreath Dragon unanswered, both played on time? (21 damage by turn 9 vs 20 damage by turn 9) It's an aggressive threat that also plays defense for a control deck. (Incidentally, if you curve out with just one of either, you can win by turn 6 with MR compared to turn 7 with SBD) Gensuki fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Oct 1, 2014 |

Just posting to say I was dead loving wrong saying Rabblemaster was going to be M15's Tidebinder Mage (core set creature that's a staple 4-of in only one deck and never goes above $3).

I traded for my Rabblemasters when they were only $1-2 apiece and because I was considering rebuilding Murdergoats; I thought it wouldn't work in Aggro due to costing 3 and not having haste but welp. \ /

Speaking of, how much does a foil Rabblemaster go for these days? I nabbed one in a redraft (insanely, I was 4th place), and I've got no intention of building RabbleRed. $25.00 a reasonable asking price?

Noah Sandler (http://www.twitch.tv/modogrinder1) is streaming an Innistrad draft where he has a really strong UG self-mill deck. He's just entering the third round now, and all four of his game wins were from Lab Maniac.

Man it feels SO GOOD to be able to say I own 4 Flooded Strand. If you had asked me 2 weeks ago what the most valuable card I own is it would have been Ashiok or Thassa.  Here's hoping I crack a Foil Fetch in Draft so I can lord it over everyone else in my store like the douchebag they already think I am after my insane Sealed pool from last week (2 Windswept Heath and a Flooded Strand).

qbert posted:I only need one more Sarkhan to complete my deck but JESUS gently caress what is going on with its price right now? How is it reaching Nissa levels of value in a set this heavily opened? It will be heavily opened. Right now it hasn't been opened enough to drive prices down. The majority of players have done a few pre-releases and 1 FNM draft. Sarkhan did work at the SCG open so he is more in demand. Everyone is playing the GR deck. He has to be the most in demand card from Khans right now. He'll come down, but probably not until after Gameday I'd guess. By New Years he'll most likely be settling around $20-25 tops. Pray for good prize packs I guess, that is what I'm doing.

Yeah, we're only 5 days into Khans being fully available so supply hasn't caught up to demand yet. All the prices will have smoothed out by around Christmas and almost every non-Fetch Rare and non-Planeswalker Mythic will be bulk or at least > by that time.

Yea, I'd dump any Sarkhans you can while he's this high. Once the set gets opened more he'll fall. The set is just too valuable to sustain this price.

stinkles1112 posted:So can somebody tell me why Purphoros doesn't see more play? He seems potentially absurd in a shell with Rabblemaster, Hordeling Outburst, Bloodsoaked Champion and a number of other things. Are there easy answers to Gods that I'm not seeing besides Erase and Deicide? Because I really want to try a semi-budget token deck. I played 3 Purphoros in a Standard deck tonight, I won all my matches but Purphoros was never responsible. He just doesn't do much on his own, and he may be good with other cards in the deck, but he makes it too easy for an opponent to shut me down by answering my other cards.

God drat I've got the biggest grin on my face right now. Place 8th in a Tuesday standard, game 1 I mana screw after going to 6 and keeping a one lander on the play with 4 2 drops in hand as Mono Red "Control". Auto scoop after 3 turns of no lands. Game 2 I get what is probably one of the best games of Magic I've played. Good trades. We both have lands, we're both on curve. I got to Ultimate Sarkhan and then play another one. My opponent, a good friend of mine and probably a better player than me, read the emblem wrong, and his reaction to it being essentially being "At the beginning of your upkeep, Recall, at the end of your turn, pitch." was priceless. I wound up losing 0-2 but it was still fun, got 10 bucks in store cred, bought a draft set of Khans. Bloodstained Mire, Icy Blast, Wooded Foothills.

I love that my brother traded a guy his Wingmate Roc for a Mantis Rider, a pair of Clash Pack Promo Prophets, and a handful of other things. I can't wait for it to fall so I can see him get burned on that deal. It's totally gonna hold at $10 guys.

I also think that MTGO has a bigger impact on shaping the metagame than people realize. The level of testing you can do with your buddies and a set of proxies isn't even close to what you can do on MTGO.

Entropic posted:I can't see Wingmate Roc commanding too high a price either. I honestly kind of think that card is terrible, at least in the abzan midrange deck. You have to contort yourself like crazy to trigger it in a deck with mostly 4 and 5 drops, and it being a stone blank against stormbreath sure doesnt help matters. I will give that it gets around elspeth, but elspeth is getting hated out by this format as it stands. If there is aggro-midrange deck thats base white then I like it, but its place is a curve topper, not a value play.

I did manage to open one and buy out the 3 copies in the store though back when they were $4, not playing standard right now so the price spike is pretty nice if I'm looking to trade for stuff.

Just came back from a KTK draft, and the guy next to me passed me a Bloodstained Mire. He said he was fine with it even after I told him it was a money card. That along with my Polluted Delta in my second pack made for an awesome night.

On opening boxes for cards, which I don't recommend: Once upon a time, there was a set called Planar Chaos that just released. In the set, there was the shifted Wrath of God, namely Damnation. Yours truly wanted one; however, he wanted 1. A Japanese one. 2. If possible, a foil one. So he bought a box of Japanese (80-100$ or whatever it cost at the time). He picked it up on the way to work, sat in the parking lot, and decided to open a couple of packs to see what happened. Pack 1: Blank. Nothing. Ok, re-roll Pack 2: Foil, Japanese, Damnation. Seeing that, he shook his head and went to work.
