People getting upset about the Twin ban completely baffle me. 90% of the deck's value is in the lands and snapcasters, which aren't going anywhere and can just be slotted into grixis control or something. Twin has had it coming for a long drat time, the only thing to be upset about is that it didn't happen sooner tbh.

Me and my buddy already went to the stores this morning at open to catch pre-spike prices on the last pieces of r/g tron that he needed. He is lucky to already have U tron fully built.

Cross posting this from the buying/selling thread because it's kiiiiind of a general question: Haven't played in two years, go to the pre-release today and popped a Wasteland. Normally I just trade stuff back into the store if it's worth under twenty bucks, but this is the first time I've ever opened a real money card. Currently listed on star city games for jesus christ 300 bucks. Question 1: Why the gently caress is this card priced that high? I know cards that gently caress with lands are valuable, but the old version of it only costs 70 bucks. Are full art foils really that premium? Question 2: Is it legal to sell this yet? I don't see why not, but it seems like most of the online sites are just doing pre-orders on it and not shipping it until the sets officially released next week. Is the resale market allowed to break the street date by selling stuff they've got from a pre-release? I don't see why not, but just double checking.

Went 1/2/1 in my Prerelease today. Ended up in r/w because they were literally the only colours I had anything remotely decent in. The uncommon 4/3 in red that makes temporary 3/3 elementals from lands with its landfall was probably mvp.

attackmole posted:Cross posting this from the buying/selling thread because it's kiiiiind of a general question: 2. Of course it is. Most stores are doing preorders because they aren't getting any product in to open/sell until the release. Prerelease openings are the only source for OGW cards at the moment.

Are full art foils really that premium? The cheapest available printing of Brainstorm is about a buck on SCG - it's been reprinted a bunch, but it holds widespread appeal for casual and legacy. The most expensive printing? $200. Rare foils carry an absolutely insane mark-up to the sort of people who are willing to buy Legacy cards in the first place. As far as #2, I believe it's because they're not actually allowed to open their own stock until Release.

Yeah, I got mad lucky. Didn't let it out of my sight because it got some oooh's and awww's from the rest of the crowd when they noticed I had it, and I'm honestly more worried about sketchy nerds stealing my poo poo than pretty much any other demographic.

Blue/Red surge was brilliant fun. I can only hope Roiling Waters will be as good in draft as it was in sealed (of course it won't) I chickened out from playing Pyromancer's Assault, though.

Rinkles posted:I chickened out from playing Pyromancer's Assault, though. I really don't think it's a card. Too much effort to get enough out of it, I'd want three Shocks before I'd be happy about having played it and that's no easy feat.

My prerelease deck was so loving busted lmao. 2x Nissa, Voice of Zendikar 3x Oath of Jace (I only played one, but got scry value all day long) 1x Guardian of Tazeem 1x Nissa's Renewal (this is busted beyond belief with the Guardian) I basically won like 50% of games by just dropping Nissa turn 3. I lost one game all day, to a guy splashing Dragonmaster Outcast while I kept a 5 lander. The top tables coincidentally had 4 out of 6 players who had Nissa in their deck. I went 5-0 with 2. Card is dumb in limited. Angry Grimace fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Jan 17, 2016 |

Opened Kozilek, Chandra and Omnath and enough R/G support to go 3-1. Saw back to back Kozileks being played. A fair and balanced format

I'd agree that the colorless stuff feels great. One of the most fun mechanics in a long time and feels really "Eldrazi" in a way that doesn't turn the format into Rise or something.

Colorless is awesome, yeah. It adds a great layer to the whole limited experience; you have to think about it during deckbuilding, then think about it as you play.

I'm super curious about the colorless will work out in draft. It was super smooth for me in sealed, But I opened double Kozilek's Channeler, a whatever of Geometries, and the mana rock/scryer+1 waste, red spell land, and the ETB one of any color land. I was only paying activated abilities and not casting costs so it worked great.

I actually had a conversation today with a real life "Reserved list is good", "Expensive modern is good" opinion-haver today. It was like talking to somebody from Mars - his argument was "You get into these formats the same way I did, by playing for years and trading up in to them! By buying cards smarter!" etc etc etc. He didn't seem to get that not everyone has been playing magic for a decade.
