Irony Be My Shield posted:It seems fine as an Eldrazi spawn mechanic, but "yay I just got an average of about 1.5 off-colour lands" doesn't seem amazing as a headliner. On the other hand it seems like a killer in a U control mirror

See the Unwritten has always been great against decks without counterspells, it's just tough to make it through a long tournament and not play against control at some point. If you're just trying to go bigger though, it's really good.

Haven't you heard that the next ftv is cards not on the reserve list but are still stupidly expensive for some reason? Get out of your wastelands, mana crypts, and imperial recruiters while you can! And give the latter two to my cube please.

mcmagic posted:Why? There's a historical price spike/drop cycle that's occurred in the past 3 years according to MTG Goldfish. They spike up around $20-$30 in March and hold that value until around October, then go down $15-$25. The last cycle spiked to $100 and dropped to $85. The price is definitely going up long-term, but it not being on the reserved list means that it's probably on Wizards' radar for a reprint. Considering its spike tends to happen in the Modern Masters/Conspiracy slot on the calendar that seems like the most likely venue.

Oh man, McMagic, you're gonna love this. Or just the thread in general.  Time to get really pissed off that another store which has been around longer than mine has started doing something I did first!  Now it's time to blow it off like I don't even care when I really, really do! Count Bleck fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Jul 29, 2015 |

Someone needs to worry about their own lovely store rather than bitching that the new, better store is one-upping them. mcmagic fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Jul 29, 2015 |

Yes, thats what I meant opened up again with new owners. Though I've only been there since the new owners have been there. It's a very good store. mcmagic fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Jul 29, 2015 |

Probably not involved, no. Basically, Close Encounters is starting Sealed League. East Coast's owner isn't happy about it because they were the only people in the general area doing Sealed League. Because he apparently invented the whole idea or whatever.

Coordinating with fellow stores so you don't interfere with each other's operations, especially with a limited pool of (relatively niche) consumers, is actually v cool and good. Leagues are tricky cuz they are extended periods of time but it's p dumb to have legacy or x wing nights on the same night as another store less than 10 miles from you.

I don't know why everyone is so surprised the mythic Eldrazi is an on-cast effect. It was the exact same way with the original Titans, because cheating them into play is so easy that ETBs would be broken. I think it was very deliberate that Oblivion Sower can only target opponents, imagine Tron playes targeting themselves to suss out their own lands lmao

I think targeting your opponent's deck is probably more for flavour still. It doesn't seem like the best thing you can play in Tron. e: misread

Sickening posted:I checked out both their facebooks pages, why is one so much better than the other? They both look pretty much the same. Close Encounters despite having less space has one of the best singles collections of any store in the area and they fire good legacy/modern events every month with actual good prizes. East coast has like zero singles and they fire a 2K IQ every 2 months. Otherwise there is literally no reason to ever go there. (I live an hour away from both so they aren't my "LGS")
