Play 8-4s and do daily events. Pauper is cheap and easy to get into and the payout for the daily events is pretty good if you get 3 wins or more

UK Goons, have you found any place that sells reasonably cheap Modern Masters 2015 booster boxes? Me and a few friends want to buy one to draft (Since none of us got to play the original Modern Masters.) So far we have found one at ebay selling for £190 and MagicMadhouse (Crazy, considering they are absurd prices) being the cheapest UK website at £200. If anyone has found somewhere cheaper, that would be great, thanks.

If you're a regular at Dark Sphere they're selling them at £185. Otherwise you're looking at getting one from abroad I think. I saw a couple of places on eBay shipping from Greece and Germany for a bit cheaper. Only about £10 in it though.

Mono U is garbage post bans unless you're playing some delver variant, but I think the format is still great for brewing right now.

http://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/pauper/full#online has a good overview of the current meta state, lots of viable decks.

I'm legitimately confused as to why they would refuse to put those in.

-I doubt they don't realize they're necessary reprints. Visions, at least. (Sleight is much more of a niche card in its applications, does anything other than Storm actually play it?)

-I don't think those two poo poo on limited or anything.

-Sleight of Hand might plausibly be a planned reprint in Origins or RTZ but I doubt scry is coming back that soon so Visions probably isn't.

-I doubt Visions is on the de facto reserved list where they don't want to actually reprint it in large enough quantities to noticeably move the price. It's a common, for god's sake.

Except it doesn't break color pie now. Black gets sweepers now (Crux?) and it gets "can't regenerate" more than white does.

Hey at least we get Smash to Smithereens, I've been trying to get a playset of those for a while but can't justify spending $4/card on commons.

Also if I get my way I am drafting UG Counters/Proliferate every time.

E: Also I'm a little surprised to see Mutagenic Growth on there. I guess Modern Infect is safe for now?

I traded in all my Serum Visions expecting a reprint and kept all my Remands assuming if it did get reprinted it would be the old terrible art and not the cool duel deck one. gently caress you Wizards.

No Path, so I guess they're hoping the FNM thing was enough. Same thing with Inquisition of Kozilek (although I actually think it will be in BFZ with Thoughtseize rotating out).

But Serum Visions they should just reprint, seems silly as gently caress to just let a common be $10 for no real reason. Maybe they're doing another Event Deck with Serum Visions and Gitaxian Probe - the last event deck had 3 Path and 3 Inquisition... *shrug*

A Delver Modern Event Deck would be right around the value level they want for those, with 4 Visions 3 Probe or whatever.

The first one came out 5/30/14 though so we're looking at a full year until that happens.

I am a little miffed about no Glimpse the Unthinkable reprint. No reason that should be 25 bucks.

Of course, they could print Serum Visions as the other Modern FNM promo.
