*Stupid Babby*

I also drafted Elementals and went 0-3. If I had one more of the mana dorks I think it coulda worked (I saw the guy to my right pick him when I needed a 2nd.) I opened up P1P1 Emrakul but didn't see any ramp guys going around so I shifted into Elementals and was rewarded with a P10 Thunderblust for my efforts. I got to live the turn 3 dream of that once.

I opened up 6 total boosters tonight. Got the Emrakul, Foil All is Dust, Foil Hurkyl's Recall, Remand, and 2x Apocolypse Hydras for my efforts. Along with going 2-0-1 in DDF today was pretty good.

Well that basically settles it I'm going to a MM15 draft on Sunday and forcing B/W Spirits.

We are extending our discount price of $230 +tax for Modern Masters 2015 until we close this Friday night. Get your boxes while they last!
Don't forget, we're holding $40 drafts all day today and tomorrow with 2 packs per player going into the prize pool.

Is this actually any good, I haven't been paying attention to what good prices are for these drafts.

That's a good price if the packs are mmb packs, and not regular packs.

$40 is the baseline price for 4 packs of MM15 (3 packs for draft + 1 in prize support) so it's also the baseline for draft with MM15 prize support.

Places offering $35 drafts are taking a hit on income to be cool people but $40 seems OK.

Anything above that is bull though unless they explicitly state the prize pool is more than just 1 pack per player.

Every single one of those cards is from Khans block, except the WR fetch. Did you mean GR? Note that GR is a bunch cheaper.

Yeah I was phone posting. The gr is what I meant. Both green fetches from Khans, one of them twice

You got about the right amount for what you sold then.

The RW fetch was pushing up calculations (since it's like $20 more than the GR one).

Do note also that I took the literal cheapest offer for EX+ in MCM as the card price, which generally are new sellers, foreign cards in not-sexy languages, and sellers from worrisome countries without enough sales under their belt. Ones I would actually start ordering from, for example for Ugin, were at 21 € while the cheapest one on offer was 18,49 €.

Edit: Arid Mesa starts at 19,00 €, KTK Wooded Foothills at 9,00 in MCM.

The problem is that I think the word is out to just snap up Waxmanes, Nameless Inversions and Soulshift everything and force it for the synergy. I think you're gonna see that archetype dry up real fast in most drafts.

Honestly the Spirit archetype is driven pretty much exclusively by Nameless Inversions. I've seen a couple spirit decks so far, and only the one with 2 x Inversion and some Soulshifters was even remotely scary. And even then, it wasn't that great, and I slammed it with value blue. Mulldrifters all day, yo.

So, since nobody's said anything, how's the packaging?

Is it reusable so that people can make MMA cube drafts?

Also, how many boxes is a case? Six?

4 boxes per case with MM I believe, because of the weird packaging. Usually 6 per case, though.

As cool as mixed martial arts cube drafts would be I think the DCI prohibits violence during organized play, so it'd be a strictly casual thing.

Question, Which two do I run as 2 ofs in Temur Collected Company?

Surrak, the Hunt Caller, Shaman of the Great Hunt, Stormbreath Dragon?

I'm thinking Surrak just because it and T2 Frost Walker means swinging 9 on turn 3 with a nutty hand, but Stormbreath has good, relevant evasion, and Shaman lets me draw cards.

Edit: Honestly I think I'm asking more of which of these three is the worst, but I know that's Shaman.

But I want to play it so bad. :argh:
