I've got like 20 or so from a local shop that I bought for that much because they had so many of em. I really shouldn't be, it's been printed at common like 8 times and shown up in numerous supplemental products. Then again, it's a 4-of in multiple decks in every format where it's legal and it hasn't been printed since M11 and the player base has grown hugely in the last 5 years. I still use my beaten up Revised ones, they're practically the only cards I still have from back then that are still good.

Its kind of bull poo poo that wotc would do this reprint just to counteract the incredibly powerful Signal the Rats deck in Modern

I also wouldn't be surprised if, precisely because there are so many of them out there, SCG figures that anyone looking for a bolt in the first place is likely to be the person who suddenly realize they lost/tossed out/left at home all their bolts and needs them quickly to finish their decklist before the tournament. After all, going to SCG for a card that you should have had two dozen of in a shoebox for years is something of a last resort for most people. So you might as well charge $2 instead of $.50 and make the most out of that occasional and inelastic form of demand.

GoutPatrol posted:Done for better 5-color EDH commanders? Every card in MM2 is a reprint, so it's not like it's bringing anything new to the casual scene. It's also pretty unplayable in Limited unless Elementals is a deck and has a lot of fixing. Though given Horde I would expect to see Smokebraider making an appearance.

So, it looks like we're getting the liege cycle.  Does this kill our chances of getting the filter lands, then?

Earlier in the thread someone pointed out the land spot between eye of ugin and eldrazi temple only left a (very) few cards and I don't think any were the filter lands. Edit: I guess there is still room in the number crunch for half of the cycle but it seems like a waste when they could be in a standard environment with no problems.

I haven't actually read the archetype article MaRo posted. Molybdenum posted:Earlier in the thread someone pointed out the land spot between eye of ugin and eldrazi temple only left a (very) few cards and I don't think any were the filter lands. I was convinced they were going to reprint the filter lands until that was pointed out. There is no reason for half of them to be $20+. Edit: Well. We got one of the artifact man-lands.

I cannot ever shut up about Nighthowler because I love it so much. Or rather, I love how I can surprise people with it and just win a game/match because hardly anyone ever plays it.

For a second I thought Rob Alexander was painting for MtG again (I think he isn't), but it's old art.
