Newlamog is a staple in a bunch of decks that may be about to get significantly better so that's not too weird.

Is Glimmervoid in something other than Affinity? One of the Eldrazi variants? Ulamog is a mythic in demand now, doesn't seem so odd. Annoyed I can't finish my Inquisition set though.

Ulamog is not only in like 2 different Modern decks, ramp is poised to be a tier 1 deck in Standard with the tools from OGW.

Annoyed I can't finish my Inquisition set though. 4-of in Affinity and Lantern. And Ulamog spike is pretty normal, its a standard card and people are getting ready to not open it up anymore, so it spikes.

I'm a little confused as to why Inkmoth hasn't jumped more, when it has only had one printing (whereas Glimmervoid has had 2) and it is a four of in infect and affinity whereas Glimmervoid is pretty regularly a 3-of in affinity.

I got to play the most wicked loving draft last night. Conspiracy/Time Spiral/New Phyrexia. Some guys who frequents my LGS bought a shitload of boosters for his birthday and hosted a $5 you-keep-the-cards draft of these three sets. It was loving bananas. You know what's more fun than pulling Vesuvan Shapeshifter and Exploration in your packs? Being passed Fires of Yavimaya, Rout, and Vedalken Orrery. It was a good draft night.

Something like 850ish people at the modern open in Charlotte today. Seems like lots of tron and affinity were running around. Shouldn't have played a deck weak to tron, went 6-3 with two of those losses to g/r tron, super frustrating to keep getting hit by t3 karn and t4 ugin. Had to be 7-2 to day 2.

You may also just sweep FNMs with it because nobody expects to sit across the table from it, like I do from time to time. I certainly have more fun playing it than I do my Infect.

The guy who is 9-0 is playing b/w tokens if that puts anything into perspective. Not exactly a deck that I feel is just super strong against tron or really a lot of the meta. He did get some pretty decent pairings past the 4th round and went against twin, which I feel is one of the decks best match ups. It helped that those matchups didn't draw cryptics and he drew champions, but that is just the way it goes sometimes. Modern is just a crazy format.

Maindeck Quarters can get the job done, Thoughtseize early, typical artifact hate to stop their early game, buff at the right times to get around Pyroclasm. When I play tokens (Mardu version, with 1-of Crumble to Dust in the SB because I can) I have Quarter'd a tron piece and Sugically Extracted it out on numerous occasions. That usually gives you enough time before they can drop an O-Stone or Ugin.

GonSmithe posted:-Someone who cares about #mtgfinance The entire game was built on the notion of the cards being collectible with an uneven distribution, so it's kind of annoying when people who have been playing the game for years are surprised when the card that people were hoping would get reprinted didn't, so then people bought the card because they realized it wasn't going to get reprinted until MM17. Like going "wtf" at the random legends cards that get bought out for poor speculative reasons is one thing, but if anyone was surprised by inquisition going up once it was confirmed to not be reprinted they must enjoy equally surprising events like the sun rising, politicians lying, and mcmagic misvaluing planeswalkers.

Instant Speed, Colorless Pyroclasm is definitely something to always consider. RG Tron probably becomes a lot stronger, and I'm sure RG Ramp will be a thing given the stupid amount of removal it has access to now in standard.

Annorax posted:It's even worse on MTGO, Daze is a loving $30 card now on there. Sidenote: Since I brought it up before and bring it up multiple times below: 4x Chain Lightning is .16tix or $50 in paper Oh sure, I mean, different odd cards are more expensive on MTGO than paper, but on the whole most of the paper decks cost more. You need to add in costs like time/gas or shipping into the "Paper" price on MTGOgoldfish. It looks like there are some decks that are playable on MTGO for $10 with some missing sideboard cards but in paper the spendy cards tend to be in the mainboard. Keep in mind, the guy I was replying to was asking "What the hell kind of pauper deck isn't going to be $10 to assemble from your store's commons/uncommons/tcgplayer anyways?" and I was responding that none of them are $10, especially when you're talking about paper. He's probably one of those guys who doesn't understand how powerful a common needs to be to be Pauper playable and thinks the format is filled with 10 cent cards  It's poo poo like: I probably spent around $60 on my burn deck, without Chain Lightning, to assemble it in paper but the same list is 23tix and it's not hard to find a better list for 6-12tix that's 5-0'ing leagues. I even managed to pick up cards like Lightning Bolt and Rift Bolt at below TCG-low, but that doesn't make up for literally every other card in the deck costing $0.10-$2.75 more in paper (plus shipping) (excluding Chain Lightning) than MTGO. suicidesteve posted:Last call for the MTGO PAUPER LEAGUE!

I have actually watched an MTGO streamer from the UK stream b/w tokens and it looked really good sometimes and really poo poo others. It looks like Cho's list is pretty similar although its only what I can tell by his games because he doesn't have the list available for what he is playing now. Basically 4x bitterblossom 4x procession 4x lingering souls 4x Auriok champion 4x path Hand distruption + random black removal 4x Intangible Virtue 2x sorin 2x gideon

Nah, I wasn't surprised. The magnitude of the increase combined with cards having annoyingly persistent price memory, though? It's just depressing.

What worries me is I am picking this game up pretty recently, so I missed out on all of these cards having ever been cheap when they first came out. I take my budget decks to modern or standard nights and end up getting wrecked by people with full, expensive pro decks. This seems like a big problem for new players like me. As an example, Affinity looks cool, but now with even more parts spiraling up in cost its getting harder and harder to build even a locally competitive yet affordable deck.

Modern card prices fluctuate, some of the cards in affinity are cheaper than they were a year or so ago, others not so. Pick a deck that you like the look of and pick up all the cheaper bits through trades and play the long game with the expensive bits as most things will be reprinted eventually.
