I presume this is because of the (not so) recent SA update, but is there any info on how to fix it? Imgur stuff is fine, and I remember domains being a thing, but not any more details, and google isn't helping much. Gotta say it's pretty funny browsing the forums with it

Tog may have been a 1/2 creature but it was effectively a lot bigger because if your opponent attacked into it or tried to burn it, it could always grow. And this was a time when almost all hard removal only hit nonblack creatures. And then Upheaval with a big board or loaded graveyard would just win, it was a great control finishing combo. Tog is one of my favourite creatures ever because it looks so innocuous.

Not the lovely-rear end Vintage Masters art, the Doctor Teeth art where he's like bashed through a wall and has that Cheshire Cat grin.

Release weekend gouging is hilarious. Went to the lgs close to my work because it's lunch time, and I have just witnessed 30 dollar sorins and 12 dollar declaration in stone. Abbey is only 19 and he was proud to be giving me a deal. I tried to negotiate but he wasn't going to even try. Needless to say, I noped the gently caress out. I understand gouging a little because it is a business but tcg player should not be 30% better than you on everything. Your just hurting your store at that point.

And its first ability could fuel its second, giving each discard something more like +1.5/+1.5 in practice.

Yawgmoth posted:I almost feel bad for the store I play at because their weekly tournaments are really good but their prices on singles are downright laughable. All of their rares are a dollar minimum, and pretty much everything is at least 30% over TCG market price. Couple weeks ago my eyes practically shot out of my head when I saw they had Kalitas listed for almost $40. I understand that they're beholden to Dan Bock but I can't for the life of me figure out why they would do it when there's at least two other shops within a mile or two who offer a constant TCG mid for their entire stock. Dan Bock is a smug, price-gouging douche who thinks that he's smarter than everyone else. That probably has a lot to do with it.

If underworld Cerberus had the rules text "cards in graveyards can't change zones" instead of the "can't be targeted" text would that stop flashback, delve, reanimation, haakon with nameless inversion, living end, etc. ? My thinking is you could still pay the flashback or mill for dredge but nothing would happen, a flashback card never goes to the stack so wont resolve and won't get exiled, dredge cards wouldn't be drawn, etc. How many rules clusterfucks would it cause?

Also, he sends them boxes of cards that are in no discernible order and they generally don't get in cards from a new set until the saturday/monday after release; so they don't even get the benefit of day zero sales, the one day that they might actually be able to sell a decent amount of cards at gouged-up prices.
