Well, unless something radical happens at the GPs I will have to eat my words from around the Pro Tour. Eldrazi is likely to eat some level of banning on Shadows release because 50% of day 2 and a good chunk of the rest of day 2 is hoping to prey on Eldrazi(to middling success).

Nah this will just be the new normal. In 2017 instead of making a new Modern Masters set they will just reissue BFZ and OGW.

I don't know why everyone's complaining about format diversity. You can play Eye, Temple, and TKS in any color combination you want and be successful with it.

I actually do think the amount of different eldrazi decks is interesting, though yeah they do all have the same core.

This was one of my favorite cards when I first started playing but I unloaded most of them a while back because I could never find a use for them, happy to see it getting some love but bummed I don't have them anymore.

Also yeah what the hell mtgfinance.

I'm not a card shark but at some point the narrative will flip from "this Eldrazi deck kicks rear end" to "this Eldrazi deck is too good and will eat a ban as soon as Wizards can make it", so sell before then. I'd err on doing so sooner rather than later TBH.

That point was somewhere around the top 8 of the PT.

I do find it amusing, in the midst of all the spikes for anti-stuff like Worship or Eldrazi support like Adarkar Wastes, Eye of Ugin itself has plummeted -$40 from its high, because everyone expects a ban.... but they're still snapping up other pieces at insane levels?

The deck still potentially exists if Temple is around but I wouldn't be surprised to see both eat a ban.

It didn't drop from that high because its going to be banned. It dropped because once cards hit their peak, the market gets flooded with them by people who realize it is time to liquidate their small collections, so the supply jumps.

Yep. I looked through my poo poo for Eye of Ugin and Temple when the PT happened, but nothing else.

I'm interested in picking up a pack to catch up with some friends. I'm more interested in buying a premade pack or bunch of cards rather than a starter pack. Ebay has a couple options, packs of 500 reject cards at a time, or people selling premade packs like this guy.

What's good? I'm leaning towards starting with a pack from this guy mostly because of the prices. Anyone spot something that's a good place to start, or at least isn't stupidly weak?

Go to your local nerd store and buy a duel deck or a clash pack or something. Don't buy any of the things that you linked; they're scams. You spend $10 for $1 worth of cards.

Buy an intro pack, figure out what you like and then fill in the gaps buying singles.

My friend and I were using Evolving Wilds to make colorless mana until we found out it doesn't do that.

To be fair, we started playing last Fall and Evolving Wilds are wayyyy better when they make colorless.

if you were doing that in a win-and-in to the top 8 of a reasonably large tournament in a non-rotating format then, well, well done

He did lose his island walk to a dismember, so maybe he was playing around that?

Get on with it, people aren't buying. I couldn't unload 3 Eye of Ugins for more than 25 bucks on Ebay, which should tell you that everybody (even the MTGFINANCE! types that usually make sure you get something close to TCG prices cause teh value!) expects a ban at this point.
