Just play the people's format, Pauper, where entire decks cost less than that null rod you want.

I mean no-reserve list Legacy could be created and grown outside of WotC like EDH was. If it became popular, they'd probably start supporting it.

I am pretty confident that if pauper ever really caught on in paper all the popular commons would be 2-3 bucks per in a matter of months.

Actually realtalk if anyone is coming to the event in Philly this weekend and will be around on Sunday I will draft Conspiracy with you. PM me, I have to check my wife's schedule but considering we have plans all day Saturday she'll probably be OK with not spending an afternoon with me :v:

E: I only have 21 packs so we would need a few extra.

That already happened online to some extent- 9 dollar hydroblasts are a real thing. As are 13 dollar gorilla shamans.
It's still by far the cheapest constructed format though.

Yeah but they're all from sets like Nemesis and Mirage that had basically no print run on MTGO. The most outrageous one is probably Journey to Nowhere which is like $1.

I looked up the reserved list again cuz I didn't know alliance cards were on it. Everyone likes to make fun of when I say FOW is uncommon and "they didn't know what they were doing" but lol if it was a rare "that it should've been" that was in that list.

But fow would probably be fine in standard (IMO)

It's actually a lot of fun if you play a deck with no instants and just watch a show or something while you play.

Let's take the format that's entirely about goofing around IRL with your friends and port it to the Magic platform based around never having to actually interact with humans directly.

So according to the nifty thing, my best format (aside from Sealed 2HG where I am unbeaten) is Legacy with a little less than 60% win rate. Everything else my win rate is almost exactly 50.

I have like a 40% win rate in modern, the only format I play. Why do I spend so much money on this game

"Life is a maze. This is one of its dead ends.


My sealed, both 2HG and regular record is exactly 50%.

Vintage is 64%, Modern is 57%, Standard is 52%, and legacy is 49%. If only I hadn't wasted a few weeks playing Soldier Stompy and Nic Fit I'd probably have a winning record in every format besides draft, which is a stupid format anyway.

Also I have a winning record against all of my friends except for our store owner's fiance, including one who I'm 6/1/1 against.

WTF is a WPN Premium Tournament?

Oh uh. Well I guess try playing better bad decks? Or maybe try playing your deck worse? I'm not sure whay the secret to modern is tbh. Apparently it's playing control decks like me.

So I haven't played in years and all my cards were tragically lost. A bunch of guys from work started playing, and the consensus is we are gonna play legacy, but I don't think anyone is planning on getting all the super expensive cards. Are there any fun casual, relatively cheap options out there for me? Is now a good time to get all standard cards to play casually with them and maybe take a crack at competitive for the first time?

I guess what I'm asking is should I buy a booster box or individual cards? I'm confident if I bought individual cards it would be unfun real fast for my casual friends, but I'm not sure if standard is playable buying just random packs based on the last few pages of this thread.

Pauper. Play pauper. You get to play old and "fun" cards but it isn't wallet smashingly expensive.http://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/pauper#paper
