I can't wait for stuff to get reprinted and have random people complaining that wizards ruined their spec it's going to be very entertaining. E: Can I get a job being the person at wizards that decides what gets reprinted just to gently caress with people? That'd be great. First order of business is a starter deck with like three copies of Seance. is that good fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Jan 10, 2016 |

You can wait for it, but it isn't really a thing that happens. When people spec big on a card, they're doing it on bulk stuff speccing on it to be not bulk. The people buying Stoneforges aren't a couple guys buying 50 at $20 a pop, it is 12 people buying playsets at $20 a pop because they think if it gets unbanned they'll A. want to play it B. it will go up. Of course that line of reasoning and buying causes the price to go up. However, those people are probably not going to be that unhappy to have a playset of Stoneforges even if it doesn't get unbanned, because it is a good card to have a set of anyway.

This card was definitely meant to be white and changed to blue at the last minute.

You only need one good card for the latter, but a critical mass for the former. Master of Waves from Theros is another example of having a card pushed for constructed for a mechanic that was essentially absent for the color in limited. whydirt fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Jan 10, 2016 |

Chairman Pow! posted: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. Seconding playing soul sisters, without archangel of thine and auriok champion the deck is super cheap and actually v good. The other good option in that price range is bogles because without horizon canopies the deck comes in right around $250.

Skyl3lazer posted:The disruption seems to be IoK, TS, and Duress at least 2x each (though some of it is in sb). He also has 4x path and I think 2x Murderous Cut in main. He's also running Windbrisk Heights, and I think 4x Gideon instead of 2. Yeah the disruption being 6x seems pretty standard. He has 3 fulminators in his sideboard and across modern that isn't exactly uncommon. The strange part is the gideon. I feel like it makes sense 4 drop wise in modern considering it gives flexible options the turn it drops. It is also a card that if not answered right away can take over a game. Modern also has an issue with 4+ planeswalkers as removal for them is hardly used. If this guy continues to run hot gideon will probably have a small spike again if it hasn't already. He is going to continue to be the top of the power level of standard with jace considering oath's card pool, or at least there is a good chance he will be.

BW Tokens at 10-0-1 now. Drew vs twin. Highlights include ghost quartering his own land for extra black to cast Duress to stop twin from going off while still keeping mana up to activate Shambling Vents to keep Jace, Architect of Thought from ultimating.

The other good option in that price range is bogles because without horizon canopies the deck comes in right around $250. Yeah, Bogles is one of the few decks this year that went down in price due to its most expensive card (Canopy excluded) being reprinted, dropping from 30 to 3 dollars. Most decks also run 4 Leylines in the sideboard and those went down too. So unless you want to really go all out (4x Canopies, and 2x Teeg in the Sideboard) Bogles is about a cheap as it could get for a Tier 1/2 Modern deck. http://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/modern/full#paper Cheapest Tier 1/2 decks being Bloom, Bogles, and Living End. They are probably the cheapest because most of the cards in those decks can only be played in that deck and nothing else.

I can confirm that Todd Stephens (currently on camera) is really good at magic and may be one of the best dressed magic players out there. He lives in the DFW area and I am currently 0/2 against him in competitive play  .

I mean he's just saying twin isn't infallible, it can lose to dudes and a couple removal spells.dec. You don't have to do anything super fancy to beat twin other than bring some removal which is not an unreasonable bar. Unless your point is you think "have removal" is unreasonable?

I mean you also need to exercise a modicum of self control and not tap out every single turn, but yeah twin is ridiculously interactable-with and not broken despite the endless posts about how terrible and oppressive it is.

I have played a lot of modern decks and honestly I find Jund to be the most fun. Very few games do I feel helpless. Sometimes I draw the wrong stuff at the wrong time but every game of magic has that potential. There are few matches where I feel like I don't have some path to victory with Jund. I also LOVE the mirror match.

Jund doesn't make you feel powerful like having a creature become literally any non-permanent spell you want it to be. I mean Goyf doesn't even have trample.

The nut draw with Tokens will have you gaining 10 life and dealing 10 on like turn 4 (it's usually IOK into Bitterblossom or Intangible Virtue into SpecPro into Sorin). Tron is an almost unwinnable matchup but if they stumble and you get that nut draw you can win, but Tron is like a 25% win with tokens. Too many Pyroclasms, Ugin will just shut off your entire board, etc.

Speaking of mtgfinance, is there anyone else here from outside the US not seeing all of TCGPlayer's listings? It's making it hard for me to know what's actually being sold and at what price without going through a proxy/VPN. Here's what I see when I go through my VPN:  If I just check without a VPN I only see the CFB listing where they want $21.99 for the HP Inquisition and no indication that anything else is being hidden. It literally says Viewing 1-1 of 1 listing.  It's annoying as gently caress, but I think it's related to my location instead of site settings. I'm not signed in to the site or anything. Would be nice to get some confirmation from someone here. odiv fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Jan 10, 2016 |

rabidsquid posted:You're into mtg finance, aren't you haha. I do not spend money on specs. I do follow/read what finance people write about, and I've saved a bajillion dollars on cards I want just by buying before spikes or waiting when spikes are just all hype. I know people buy cards to spec. It is a thing that happens. However, there are way more players than finance people, and they collectively have more money and ability to move the markets. I guess you seriously believe in the finance illuminati who take a bath on Stoneforge every January because one time they'll be right? I mean, I guess those people could exist, but they'd be literal crazy people.
