Looks like this on Planeswalker Points:  It was pretty nice when only 4 people showed up and everyone gets the FNM promo for playing. I believe this points don't count for yearly points, only lifetime. Like, adding 1 point does nothing about GP byes. GoutPatrol fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Jan 9, 2016 |

I'm kinda surprised Goblin Guide hasn't mega spiked with all the other modern cards. It hits all the notes that you would think would make speculators go crazy for it. Printed in only one long far off set, no reprints, key card in a Tier 1 deck, blah blah blah.

While this set looks like it may be fun to draft, I don't think there are more than 4 singles I want. I may skip the prerelease and just grab them off Pucetrade.

Its in only one Tier 1 deck, and only 1 other Tier 2 deck (Gruul/Naya Zoo) unlike Spellskite or Inquisition, which can be used in half the decks in Modern. GP promo also helps it out. It was also in a widely-opened large set compared to a barely opened small set to compare it to Scapeshift.

Printed in only one long far off set, no reprints, key card in a Tier 1 deck, blah blah blah. It's in a deck that runs 12 fetches, and was a rare in zendikar which was opened a ridiculous amount because of those fetches. Burn is in a spot where it's too expensive to really be a budget deck and increase demand for that reason, and it's a linear deck that doesn't allow for a lot of variety so it's not as heavily played as tarmogoyf, spellskite, or other multi-deck all-stars. Oh and it's also THIRTY loving DOLLARS. It was never more than like $5 in standard. It has ticked up just over a longer period of time, and its price was originally spiked by legacy pre-modern existing. It also has a GP foil promo.

Yes. Acid Trip is fantastic. I beat a turn 3 Ulamog's Crusher with it the other day. Also if you're buying these on MTGO, consider playing in The First Official MTGO Pauper Goon League. Sign-ups end tomorrow-ish!

I like this card. That's a fair amount of incidental life gain on a card that's not too over costed (instant) even if it's not a spectacular rate. That said, I don't remember any recent formats where a raise dead was great. At the very least it'll be good in sealed, I think.

It seems like the only matchup it's actually better at is Familiar, and then it's only if they kept a hand that's weak to Acid on a bounceland. The deck is just so drat slow to start.

I don't know why Wizards doesn't push paper pauper. Seriously, sell the top decks as $10 Pauper event decks, and have a Pauper FNM. You can do one for each color, plus artifacts, and get most of the strong archtypes. It's a wonderful way to get into tournament Magic, and people who rightly refuse to pay hundreds for a Standard deck can play something competitive for cheap. Maybe even have a Pauper GP at some point.

Yeah I don't understand why wizards doesn't push a format that would sell a product once for $10MSRP / $3wholesale and then never again while costing a small amount in support (FNM prizing / DCI maintenance) when they could push draft which sells a box of product per 8 people in 3 hour blocks which is ~$150MSRP/$40-$50wholesale. While we're at it I don't understand why they don't just allow you to print proxies and play at sanctioned tournaments, or just sell singles directly to the consumer for printing costs alone!

People getting mad here at successful discriminatory pricing practices like the ones Christian bible societies had success with for over a hundred years. Just lol. It's an interesting concept but the problem would be the stores who don't have enough room to host appropriately. Given enough room? Yeah I'd say it would work if the extra marginal costs give them enough benefits.

kizudarake posted:They're suggesting event decks for pauper, you goofy gently caress. They're suggesting pauper FNM, you dopey twist. Their lotto-ticket business model is not something they want to undermine with FNM support or official products. What the hell kind of pauper deck isn't going to be $10 to assemble from your store's commons/uncommons/tcgplayer anyways? There's no margin on the event decks, and there's the potential for cannibalization of more lucrative products. As a player I'm all for pauper and cockatrice / xmage and proxying decks to play this fun game. But WotC is a business and I'm going to take the stance in here that as a business they're not going to make obvious bad business moves.

Unfortunately there is no incentive for them to support pauper in paper, online they get all the tourney fees and its a format that is more fun than standard at a fraction of the cost. It stops people from buying packs and they don't see any money from the people that play it in store. Honestly, if you started with a real good $20 tournament ready deck, would you ever even look at standard?
