I'm still not used to being in possession of 20 dollar and up cards.

Generally if an event pays out in boosters, I take origins. I know full well I'm more likely to get a Jace in Origins than an Expedition at this point.

If you actually want max EV from standard boosters open KTK. The presence of 4 $20 and 1 $14 rares outweigh the price of mythics in other sets.

There's also the added EV from foil fetchlands- which go for $45 for the nonblue and $70-80 for the blue ones. Unlike foil mythics these are real cards that you might open. Oath's EV is actually good at the moment too, and it'll no longer be opened in 6 weeks Toshimo posted:False. TCG low, FRF > KTK. TCG mid, DTK > FRF > KTK.

Madmarker posted:Perhaps, I have no interest in the set, but as a discussion point I find it somewhat interesting. I am perplexed by how excited some people have gotten for it and wondered if I am missing something important because of my inherent disdain for a supposed reprint product that will by its very nature lack the product actually in need of reprinting. Or if I will find people are similarly perplexed, thereby justifying my belief that the set is of little use. Is it really so baffling why people would be excited for a bunch of old and/or out of print cards being reprinted? I know it's part of the whole autistic goon thing to pretend to be above petty human emotions like "excitement" or "being interested in absolutely anything" but to regular, normal people it's actually pretty cool seeing a bunch of cool cards being reprinted.

I get being excited about cool new things, and I guess out of print things, but this is Legacy: The Set, and, because of the existence of the Reserve List, can't reprint anything that will make that format at all more accessible. The only thing I can really think of is maybe EDH, but  , that is still not my thing. So I don't get this particular set.

I think he can say he isn't excited about a set without the reason being that he is autistic or above petty human emotions. What the gently caress are you going on about?

The only thing I can really think of is maybe EDH, but There are actually quite a few expensive Legacy cards that aren't on the Reserve List. Even ignoring FoW and Waste, see, say, Karakas and Rishadan Port.

The only thing I can really think of is maybe EDH, but I'm inclined to agree. I've nothing against the idea of it but I've never had any particular desire to play legacy or vintage and realistically I doubt it'll make any meaningful difference in opening up either of those formats anyway.

The only thing I can really think of is maybe EDH, but What is there to "get"? They're reprinting a bunch of old cards. Also you're flat out wrong about the set not making Legacy more accessible-the only things that are big on the reserve list for Legacy are pretty much duals, LED, and a couple other random lands (cradle, tabernacle, etc). Even with just the two cards that have been previewed, you're likely looking at taking 100-200 bucks off a playset of either (wasteland and FoW). And EDH is a big thing and it's likely that there will be at least a few cards that are near-staples that get reprinted (and should see at least a minor price drop). Like I get if it's not for you, but to not understand how people could be excited about this is just baffling, even if it doesn't directly impact you.

You can print as many of the other cards you want, but without Duals, without LED, without Cradle, Legacy as a format is essentially unplayable for everyone who isnt Death and Taxes, Manaless Dredge or Legacy Fish. It just feels like people are getting hopes up about getting to play decks that are going to be locked behind just as significant a price and accessibility wall as before. I just hope there is enough valuable EDH toys to make it worth it for the people playing. A minor price drop isnt enough. A 200 price drop from 3k for Legacy Miracles is still 2800.

It's not wrong to say that 2800 is a price drop from 3000 (or whatever numbers one wants to use, as long as they don't underestimate the influence of the reserved list part) but it kinda misses the point.
