Can't find my playset of tops but they should be around. I can't believe how much a bunch of trash is worth tbh. Oh man, if you're up for some comedy reading, I'm sure a lot of people will gladly tell you how extensively stupid the economy surrounding this game is. The land of mtgfinance is a land of regrets filled with the fumes of burning dollars.

No, but we've had at least one fraudulent tournament show up on MTG Goldfish listing it in the top 8. Also, anyone know if the green ranger has made it to the second day?

I could almost feel my opponent's despair as I cast Thought-Knot Seer, and then proceeded to Mirrorpool it twice the next two turns. Also, people are really scared to block or attack into a Matter Reshaper even if its a profitable exchange. Although I guess it was not profitable for the dude when I blocked his Tasigur with Matter Reshaper, flipped a card, it was Wasteland Strangler, then I killed the Tasigur with the Matter Reshaper trigger.

Does Chandra not feel underpriced at $10 to anyone else? She seems super good and every time I cast her this weekend she was relevant and always useful. If you're controlling enough she feels similar to Elspeth did in that she has to be dealt with pretty quickly.

Despite this being one of the better Chandras printed.

I don't have any strong feelings one way or another on these sorts of gamestates, but I just want to say that every time I read the name "Wasteland Strangler" I momentarily think I'm reading about a criminal in some sort of fallout or mad max setting, rather than the spawn of incomprehensible beings from beyond space and time.

She's mostly been seeing play in very removal-heavy decks like Jeskai Black that can reasonably expect to have Crackling Doom'ed everything on your board big enough to live through her minus, but being a six mana walker that can't make blockers or clear Siege Rhinos off the board definitely limits where she can be used. I will say she is outperforming my expectations of 'lol 6 mana, no play ever'.

If you're controlling enough she feels similar to Elspeth did in that she has to be dealt with pretty quickly. I agree that she feels Elspeth-y from the games I've watched. I love that her +1 is something that proactively kills the opponent, since the decks it fits into will care about that more than decks that played actual Elspeth cared about killing their opponents dead quickly. May need to wait for Seige Rhino to rotate to really take off, given that it can't clear it off the board, but I think $10 seems like a steal. It'll never be a 4-of, but a critical 1- or 2- of in Jeskai-based midrange decks seems like it should be more than $10.

The card I think has some room to grow is Kalitas. Maybe not a lot, but it takes over the game pretty rapidly if not answered.Fingers McLongDong posted:Does Chandra not feel underpriced at $10 to anyone else?

Man, the GP coverage just showed us 2/3 of Nakamura's draft sped up, said we didn't have time to watch the last pack before the next game and then spent a bunch of time talking and showing us the intro video. sigh

Watching replay of a draft at GP Vancouver, looks like the colorless producing lands from Oath are even higher picks than I predicted. It seems like if you have any plans that involve using colorless mana you should take them over everything but top-tier removal and bombs. It's kind of annoying because it makes it very hard to tell what color the people next to you are in.

Yeah I kind of noticed that the hard way from my first draft. Ended up not playing a P1P1 Reality Smasher because I just wasn't aggressive enough on colorless fixing.

If you're controlling enough she feels similar to Elspeth did in that she has to be dealt with pretty quickly.  I spent this weekend overdosing on magic with the first Magic Madhouse Pro Circuit Open on saturday and then a PPTQ on sunday. Every time I cast her it was game changing and the whole weekend there was only one time I cast her as a four damage sweeper and it was still a 4 for one that drew me a card from a Thought-Knot Seer. She was great in Jeskai Dark-Dwellers w/ Kalitas, the deck never let me down.

I can probably say that if this turned out to be true that this set would sell probably faster than any other set ever. It would also be a given that even as the old cards prices would drop during the first few weeks, they would spike again when players figure out that legacy is now a sustainable format and demand surges.

If Modern Masters has taught us anything, the price of the reprinted chase cards just stays about the same. Reprinted Volcanic Islands are just going to be $180.

Wurzag posted:How was the magic madhouse event? Was thinking of going to the Birmingham one so would be interested to know how Manchester was. They did a good job, very nice atmosphere and the venue was great. Something like 178 people entered so it went 8 rounds with a reasonably fast turnover time between rounds. Side events were firing regularly from round 4 onward. The main guy running the feature matches (which were supposed to be streamed but did not see it happen myself) I recognised from Wizards magic broadcasts but dunno who he was. I am pretty positive about this now I have attended one. I like the big tournament feel and even though they didn't break 200 people it was well run and felt more like a PTQ than a PPTQ and that is what I was after.If they are going to emulate the SCG model then one big thing they probably want to address soon is freebies. It cost £35 to enter which isn't cheap and all but one of us walked away with nothing. Getting a cheap playmat or crappy branded sleeves would go a long way to making it feel like a 'bigger event'. I will be heading to the Birmingham one so might see you there! I went my usual as 'good as a coin flip' 4-4 to rank at 56/178 but its possible I may have cashed (for £50 OMG!) with one more win as a friend did at 5-2-1.

"We've abolished the reserved list, but we still need to be careful. Very, very careful. What would happen if all of a sudden, an eternal format deck cost less than a serviceable used car? It would be a new and frightening world, and I don't think we're truly ready to confront that just yet. Maybe in twenty more years. For now, enjoy literally getting into a knife fight with the guy next to you when you open an Underground Sea in your pool at GP Vegas 2016."

Also you know that a paper Vintage/Eternal Masters would just be an excuse for them to make the Ultra Mythic Rare rarity from online VMA a paper reality. They already tested those waters with Expeditions, wake up sheeple!

I wish they would do either a set that is entirely for reprinting cards or a set for drafting that happens to have chase rares instead of getting premium fancy packs that contain garbage that no one wants because you can also draft with them.
