Reflector Mage and Ayli seem decent in Rally. Kalitas unsurprisingly seems good against it.

MiddleEastBeast posted:Reminder that Jace TMS is the best combination of powerful, fun, and utterly oppressive card in legacy cube, and to never pass it (and to always open it P1P1). Also always have a turn 4 griselbrand or, in a pinch, grave titan. God, UB reanimator is easily the best deck in this cube

mcmagic posted:Dragon shield mattes are better than KMCs Agreed. The best ones are the newer variants that are flatter, which I believe are only turquoise and copper. All my modern decks are sleeved in coppers because I swap so many cards between them.

ShaneB posted:Agreed. The best ones are the newer variants that are flatter, which I believe are only turquoise and copper. Every deck I have is double sleeved in black KMC hyper-mattes. Also every card in my binders are in perfect fits regardless. It makes it easy to swap cards around from standard to legacy to modern to commander (mostly mana bases).

So I was playing the new player sealed event thing and MTGO just gave my opponent 140 random cards instead of the deck he built.

BizarroAzrael posted:Bad though the flavor text was, I always thought it was a shame it didn't see more play. a 2/2 haste first-strike for two should be playable! Guess double red does that. RTR mana was loving incredible. The problem was Ash Zealot got to get squished by assorted X/3s and X/4s for her entire tenure.    Not to mention she was in the same set as the Sphinx's Rev/Supreme Verdict shell that made WUx control not give a gently caress about a 2/2 beater for 2.

I just pulled a Sunken Ruins and foil Kozilek, The Great Distortion in my fat pack. As a player who started at BFZ pre release without a large collection, what is the best way to maximize the value I can get from these cards? Should I wait for pro tour or something to see if anything spikes? Hang on to the expedition for a while? Set up pucatrade or what? Also I have the R/G landfall t1 deck, does ogw really affect this deck in standard?

As someone who also opened a Sunken Ruins yesterday, my advice is GET RID OF IT. NOW. Trade it or get it into a local card shop. It sees play, but it's gonna tank from the $100 price tag its at right now. (I see TCG is already sub-80) I got $52 in credit from my LGS for it and I consider that a good deal for me. Unless you plan to use it or to hold onto it for 3+ years, just dump it quick, while everyone's looking for them.
