Sickening posted:Speaking of packs, anybody else been diligent with selling sealed (real) packs from prizes? Sealed packs are weird in that they tend to go up in price over time, unless they're really garbage sets like Born of the Gods and Dragon's Maze. Even then, Saviors of Kamigawa packs are like $7 each now, because people like to do chaos drafts and throw dumb poo poo in them. Anyway, if the set is well-received (or has any very valuable cards in it) its price will probably go up over time; original Zendikar packs are about $20 each now. This is to say: if you're not going to use them, I'd hold on to them to see if their price starts to rise. It's not a sure enough thing to actually spend money on IMO, but if you have the packs laying around and you don't need the money now, you might as well wait.

And just like that, Nahiri is 28 bucks and out of stock on SCG. Shocking.

Hey, I stopped playing Magic Duels before Oath came out for it, because I had two missions just not give me rewards after completion, and also the server just kind of stopped letting me play a game all the way through. Is Magic Duels still trash?

So Flip Jace has been steadily decreasing in price on Channel Fireball, and is currently at 35. If it goes down even further is picking up set wise? Does he see play outside of Standard?

He definitely sees play outside of standard, but, and I can't emphasize this enough  DO NOT BUY MAGIC CARDS YOU DON'T SPECIFICALLY HAVE A PLAN TO USE

Unless people get Athreos-level stubborn with Jace, he's gonna crater once he rotates. So fewer copies of him in eternal formats than standard.

Gotta say I enjoyed M13 the most. Exalted, the allied color matters creatures, another Merfolk lord, Murder... it had a lot of cool poo poo going on! e: Thragtusk, Krenko, Elixir, Trading Post...

M13 was the best core set by far, also has Talrand, Odric, Yeva, Roaring Primadox, Omniscience, Thundermaw Hellkite, etc.

Speculators exist but they don't drive price spikes, as evidenced by the fact that some guy buying 100 Nahiris had no effect on the price

M11 was the best core set because not only was Preordain fun as poo poo to draft, Foresee actually was too. I used to just draft Squawks and Foresee and Preordain all day ery day

GoutPatrol posted:I played a SHITLOAD of M13 because that was when I first got into Magic. It was pretty great. Sorta the same here, though I had played before and had taken a long break (originally played during Apocalypse -> Mirrodin block). M13 was a pretty great set to come back to. Doesn't hurt that I opened Sublime Archangel in my pre-release pool and made a fun exalted deck.

Does he see play outside of Standard? His use in modern has been dropping, and with the Jeskai control shell featuring Nahiri doing so well I'd expect most blue controlish builds will head that way for a while. I'd expect JVP, Visions, and thopter/sword to be on the decline in the near future at least unless they begin to put up better results.

I'm not sure you need 4 serum visions 4 ancestral visions and 4 nahiri. I think with remand, electrolyze, serum visions and nahiri you have plenty of card selection, the deck seems a lot more like a tempo shell ala splinter twin than pure turn 20 control. I don't modern will ever have a very late game type of control deck, the format just has to much speed etc. Just like Miracles has a great sweeper then game enders, now modern does as well. I also don't have 4 visions and don't want to aquire them :P

I'm going to play Jeskai Nahiri in Charlotte and I'm going to try to make it work without Vision but I think the card is great with Nahiri since it's much easier to dump it late game.

What's a good way to sleeve a valuable-ish standard deck? I've currently got mine double-sleeved in the thin sleeves and KMC hyper mattes and keep having to squeeze the air out, although they handle fine. Problem is that for GP Manchester I'm running BW Control, so need a couple of emblems, Ally Knight, Vampire Knights, Human Clerics, Zombies, Warriors and probably something I've forgotten, and it's not all going to fit in my Ultimate Guard Flip-and-Tray.

Time Spiral, an old duel deck 1-of, and a $120 duel deck anthology with a 1-of don't really count as "3 printings"... BizarroAzrael posted:What's a good way to sleeve a valuable-ish standard deck?

After you get the air out they pretty much stop inflating, especially if you store them in a not-too-loose deck box. I double sleeve all my modern stuff and I prefer the peace of mind there. My favorite deck boxes for double-sleeved decks with sideboard and room for a divider and tokens are the Legion boxes. I have... too many... modern decks and I got this 5-pack to store them all in a way where I could quickly remember which was in which: http://www.amazon.com/Legion-SUPER-Iconic-Pokemon-YuGiOh/dp/B019QQ3C9E These are my favorite deckboxes for modern for the reasons I mentioned, and the velcro is sturdy enough to keep them closed in a bag, unlike some of the janky magnetic ones (Ultimate Guard aside).

I'm under the impression that double sleeving a deck doesn't really preserve it any better than single sleeving in high quality sleeves. Are we getting Eternal Masters spoilers today?
