I bought four fat packs over the past few weeks, and the closest things to money cards I've gotten out of them were a single World Breaker and a single Thought-Knot Seer. At least I have more full-art lands than I'll ever need.

alansmithee posted:Rolling Thunder was from like 10 years ago (or more) so not really directly comparable. I also think that was around the time when WotC took over the property from AEG which already caused some bad feelings. On top of which, they've not shown the greatest ability to market/promote/support any of their non-Magic ccgs (for instance, they essentially let Jyhad/Vtes wither and die before White Wolf took it over). That said, it was a pretty big debacle all over. I still think had they kept the rarities somewhat intact and spread the releases out a bit it would've went down better, but that's neither here nor there. One thing I've wanted to see FFG try for a bit is to, at a certain point, print an entire cycle of regular expansions in a box and sell it for fifty bucks. Limits the number of SKUs you have in print at a given moment, keeps old cards in print, lowers buy-in cost as the games get older (hello GoT 1st edition)

Yeah like anyone is surprised. It's been obvious for a long time that while their stated stance is that they don't care about the secondary market, they actually do. They reprint chase cards sparingly so that they can sell more packs down the road.

As dumb as WOTC they are so smart for constantly chirping about the "promise" of the reserve list, and protecting collectors, because their consumers endlessly froth at the mouth about this imaginary group who is holding WOTC's hands when the reality is they just don't care because they can print absolute dross like they did in Theros and their consumers will buy gently caress tons of it as long as there is a valuable reprint or two and the non-rotating formats are still inaccessible.

Cernunnos posted:I liked Theros. Same and same. It really felt like Magic breaking new ground setting-wise, which I guess makes sense because it was but at the same time it felt as though it did a better job of it than Khans block, which started with an equally 'new' premise. Maybe because Khans block was literally the in-universe reification of a marketing director saying 'poo poo, we somehow ended up without dragons, how can we stuff them back in???'

Mercadia was a really cool place to look at all the card art for, but I can't say for sure that they wouldn't manage to ruin that by going back with modern art direction. Kaladesh could be cool but only if they treated it as an opportunity to worldbuild rather than just a vehicle for Chandra. I think in retrospect that's one of the things that made Theros seem to work so well, like sure Elspeth was there and she was doing some important thing but she never really got in the way of the story. mandatory lesbian posted:the 9 creature 2 expidiate deck huh (you're not wrong about red being open tho lol, which of the BFZ rares did you get passed) It seems like Expedite is pretty obviously just there to be a cantrip that turns on your surge bombs, if it ever relevantly gives haste to one of your creatures then that's a bonus (you can expedite an opponent's creature if you need to surge or just cycle it without an existing creature of your own). I'd be more concerned about 3 Pyromancer's Assault tbh, that seems clunky. How'd it work out in practice? JerryLee fucked around with this message at 19:12 on Feb 20, 2016 |

A poor understanding of state based effects and flickering may have just put another group of elemental tokens in play, probably locking the game away for merfolk.
