B/W warriors, B/W allies, Jeskai sphinx's tutalage, RDW, Elves, U/R devoid, G/W renown, retreat ramp, aether grid thopters, the list goes on. A lot of them follow the major draft archetypes, but there's also some weird poo poo that gets played. If there's a top tier we haven't found it yet. Everything is pretty competitive.

I don't want to say standard isn't popular but we've seen HUGE gains in modern attendance recently at FNM. Literally going from "does not fire because 4 people sign up" to ~20-25 people. Although there's quite a few people don't even own decks, it's just people bringing friends and loaning them out. Also I went 1-3 with Junk with a ton of misplays

There are no $10 decks commonly played in pauper. Most of them are in the $35-50 range. Relic of Progenitus is a $5 card now

I can't draft for poo poo, but I do enjoy a Glimmervoid and Mindslaver. No doubt I will go 0-2 in round one. Edit: Yup! GoutPatrol fucked around with this message at 14:42 on Jan 9, 2016 |

I got passed two Arrests after going p1p1 Arrest and two Shatters. I was also passed a Glimmervoid in a draft before that one. I think everyone's caught on to Spikeshot Goblin being the best common in triple Mirrodin, but I'll sure as gently caress take all the good removal and force RW.

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:AlternateNu I don't mean to steal your gimmick but Inquisition of Kozilek rose 10% today by their graph and their list of tcgplayer prices has none below $20. Feel free to take over. I'm starting a new job this week and will have next to no time to keep up with Magic. That being said, I sniped the last Modern Event deck my LGS had last night right as the manager of a rival store was about grab it because gently caress that guy. (My LGS pretty much never charges above MSRP regardless of MTGFinance shenanigans, and that rear end in a top hat regularly goes around town finding poo poo for YGO and MTG to buy and flip at his own store at giant mark-ups.) Also, I pulled a Russian Jace, Vryn's Prodigy from one of my consolidation packs.

kizudarake posted:"gently caress you, you shoulda come in at 10 am. Pay me." If a merchant allowed you to lock in a price without paying them, it becomes free for you to speculate on cards that might rise that day, for example the day of a spoiler. You call at 10am and get a quote of $10. The price triples to $30, so you go in and pick up your copies at $10, for a free $20 profit each. OR The price stays flat, so you don't show up to buy your copies.

Has anyone else noticed that colourless costs interact kind of strangely with the EDH colour identity rules? Notably, a non-black deck can run Urborg, which makes all its lands tap for C

A question that has nothing to do with the commentator chat right now, but would you guys rather have a WWE style announcing crew, or a golf style? Like, 'OH MAH GAWD HE'S EQUIPPING THE CRANIAL PLATING TO THE ORNITHOPTER! HE'S ATTACKING! SOMEONE GET IN THERE AND STOP THIS!' Cuz I'd like that

En Fuego posted:A question that has nothing to do with the commentator chat right now, but would you guys rather have a WWE style announcing crew, or a golf style? Well Patrick and Cedrick got excited a few times and I would always laugh when they lost it. This is just boring. Also they keep being wrong. "Affinity has no way to draw extra cards" like 4 turns after he cast Thoughtcast "Maybe tom won't cast the second pump and just let this attack as a 5/5" as they are discussing the galvanic blast in response to the first pump. You can't leave it at 5 because it's loving dead if he doesn't save it. Pay attention.
