Yeah, the only other remotely expensive stuff Infect runs are Inkmoth Nexuses and the criminally overpriced uncommon Might of Old Krosa. Bugsy posted:Cathodion is really good with Mortar Pod. I've used it to get enough mana to do those last couple points of damage. Mortarpod or Bone Splinters definitely seem like the ways you actually reliably get value out of it.

They really need to get on reprinting some of those ridiculous commons and uncommon. Serum Visions promo is a good start, but we really need reprints of Might of Old Krosa, Inquisition of Kozilek, Aven Mindcensor, and Gitaxian Probe (which I'm surprised wasn't in MM2).

That's actually a good question. What modern era uncommons are the most expensive? (Not necessarily modern-legal. But from those sets.) Top, Vial, Counterbalance, Heritage Druid, Shardless Agent, Mindcensor, Pendelhaven, in that order.

I like Cathodion a lot because it was printed as an undercosted beater with a drawback but it still works in a modern context as a slightly above curve dude with slight upside I think you guys are right about sickleslicer and I'd cut a thoughtcast for it probably

It's funny because I just play Temur Company in standard, and Burn and Merfolk in Modern. Maybe I should just turn men sideways forever and play something bad in Legacy, like Goblins, or Merfolk.

Burn is the most annoying Modern matchup ever. On the plus side, most Modern burn pilots are just looking for a cheap deck and aren't very good at piloting the deck, especially on MODO.

There's only so much Graveyard hate a person can run in their deck before it starts bogging things down. I don't foresee any additional graveyard hate cards having a profound effect on Dredge when possible maindeck hate in the form of Deathrite Shaman plus game ending sideboard hate like Rest in Peace and Leyline of the Void already exist.

I used it yesterday to Cast Nameless Inversion during the combat step, after damage. I also cast Dismember immediately afterwards for B and 4 life, completely forgetting to use the other mana from Cathodion to save myself 2 life.

Death Denied is one of those weird cards that was insane in its original format but never makes the cut for me in MM draft. Test of Faith from MM1 was also like this

Spirits is a mega mediocre deck in MM15 if you don't have Nameless Inversion and ideally, multiples.

jassi007 posted:Fantastic discussion on one of the facebook groups for buy/sell/trade No it doesn't have to be about "Now." It just has to be cards that I've opened from packs myself that belong to the original, core Magic: The Gathering game. Core sets and expansions. And beyond 9th Edition even the core sets don't feel totally authentic to me, as they took on black borders and began reprinting cards like Phage, which did not belong in core sets. But the core set is over now, and that makes sense. When I first began my current collection last year, I started with boxes like Legions, Scourge and Planeshift, and then moved onto the more current stuff. Anyways, you say that not every product has to be collectible. I agree. I wasn't saying they shouldn't have printed Modern Masters. I was just saying that those cards are reprints with an expansion symbol on them that doesn't belong to any set from the Magic: The Gathering game, so you're made very aware all the time that you're holding a reprint-for-the-sake-of-easy-accessibiliy card in your hand, rather than one that came from a set that Wizards printed to continue the lineage of the game.

ShaneB posted:Poster who started collecting last year giving lessons on what represents authenticity in Magic cards. Seems sensible. I never said that I considered Arcanis from 10th Edition to be the same as Arcanis from Onslaught. I got a box of 10th Edition when it came out, and I had a lot of fun opening those packs, and it felt cool to have an Arcanis in the new card frame with that gold X symbol on it, but it didn't feel to me like an authentic Arcanis. I wouldn't have said to somebody "I got Arcanis" or "I have Arcanis" in the same way I would have if I had the Onslaught card. I felt like Arcanis was an Onslaught card and I had obtained a reprint of it that could be used in games but was by no means the same as the Onslaught card in the context of the collectible side of the game. I mentioned Phage as another example earlier, and clarified that I am being consistent with this. Furthermore, the fact that 10th Edition had a black border felt weird to me as well.. the white borders for previous core sets set them apart from the expansions, so even if there was a reprint from an expansion it was very clear that this one belonged in the core set game and was not as serious a card from a collectors perspective. However, Arcanis from 10th Edition is a more collectible piece from my perspective than Arcanis from a dual deck, and 0evil_overlord0 more or less explained why.
