Abzan control player with removal let's Mardu player untap w/ a stormbreath dragon (was tapped out). SBD swings for lethal, is hit with removal, Mardu player doesn't respond with monstrous for lethal damage (has the mana), promptly loses game. This puts the Abzan player into the GP top 8.

Collect Call Elves  whatever, the fad will fade and I can pick it up at my leisure e: I was unclear. I meant if *I* want to play a bad deck with a card the card should cost less

Yeah I decided I wanted to build Collected Elves on Friday and I almost ordered all the cards yesterday, I didn't think waiting a day or two would mean a Collected Company playset would cost me double. Ugh.

Welp, now I'm glad I decided to grab my playset as a throw-in on another order last week. Though maybe I'll just flip 'em and get more once they go back down.

Same, my LGS was running a promo discount on CoCo and I grabbed a playset for laffs this week.

GoutPatrol posted:FNM can be casual events now. This happens at my LGS because it can never get 8 people there for standard. True, but my store schedules them as competitive because we usually don't have a problem firing them. When we don't get enough though WotC shows off their software prowess once again with the event reporter, which requires you to create a whole new event instead of just being able to change the event to casual.

Nope. That's what made the play possible when CVM monstrous's his Stormbreath in combat (with a Rakdos' Return in hand) and then opponent goes Dictate of the Twin Gods, untap, Sparktrooper, kill you?

There's no way Collected Company stays this high right? What even caused this? Either way I'm glad I finished my Russian playset yesterday.

Combination of that awesome/hilarious 4 color CoCo deck doing really well (top 16), another GW Company deck in the top 16, and the GW Company deck in the finals, I wager. Along with people like me hearing "it's modern playable" and $5 being a really reasonable buy-in price (as of yesterday). ShaneB fucked around with this message at 17:50 on May 10, 2015 |

This is turning out to be an awesome set. Mardu Dragons, CoCo being a ~thing~, and Den Protector skyrocketing out of nowhere, all within a few weeks of Esper taking over. This is great.

Just like bigger real world markets, those "experts" have a reason to deflect actual knowledge and to bait bad ones for their own interests. Lol at anyone who actually takes the SCG guy's info when he works for a parent company. Listen to the guy at the store that can draft well (deckbuilding component, etc.) when he says certain cards look interesting and weird. I've always used the lunch rule when it comes to getting cards every now and then: dabble with cards that are much less than the cost of lunch and that you'd lose a lunch's worth at most for. It's like trading with penny stocks and the explosive 200+% growths are the most exciting. Of course this depends on your goals. I'm just looking for hobby money and selling a textbook's worth every now and then is also cool. More easily traded stocks are for bigger financial goals, for me.

TheKingofSprings posted:Oh wow Collected Company's 15 dollars now Except is is actually $9? Sure, that's still a 100% increase from 3 days ago, but it hasn't jumped that much (yet). Edit: I don't know. It is a good card, but (like everything), its usefulness is dictated by the targets it can grab. Unless we get something that is as good as Fleecemane Lion in Origins or BfZ, I don't see it being a mainstay. The Den Protector/Deathmist Raptor core is going to be like Courser/Caryatid. It'll be in basically every green deck until a new baseline is established (and it'll be worse because one of them is mythic. Raptor isn't going to drop below $20 as long as every top 8 deck continues to be G/x/x.) AlternateNu fucked around with this message at 19:43 on May 10, 2015 |

Wow LSV is playing brilliantly right now. He drafted a crazy UB exploit deck and just destroyed his opponent game 1. He's still got a shot at top 8, too.

The thing about LSV that gets me is that he's always on, but he can still turn it up like this. If you watch him stream, he's paying basically zero attention, joking around and talking with people, and still 3-0ing drafts with ridiculous builds. He's really a consummate great. mcmagic posted:Collected Company with only 24 creatures? He must have gotten REALLY lucky. 2/5 of his deck is creatures, and they all cost 3 CMC or less. On average, he'll reveal 2.4 creatures to Collected Company, and it would be rare for it to not at least replace itself. Niton fucked around with this message at 20:29 on May 10, 2015 |

There is no way I would run less than 30 creatures in a CC deck in any format, you can't afford not to hit twice on it.

I am an LSV fanboy because he is a rare mixture. Beyond skilled at the game, "normal" relatable, well spoken. While Maro is basically rainman for magic, LSV is one of the ideal spokesman. I just wish he could both commentate and play like he does on his MODO videos when he plays for real.
