I got a message from my LGS owner if I wanted to get a box at what would by 199 dollars. I asked around for my friends if they wanted to draft it and they all said no.

Uh. You should buy that anyway.

I will buy your $199 box for $220 shipped (jam it in a $9 flat rate) if you would like to make an easy $10 :v:

This set has me so excited even though it's all cards I already own (except I think I only have 3 cabal therapies). I'm hoping I get to draft the everloving gently caress out of this.

As for Shocks in legacy, the only time the shocks really matter is A) When Your Opponent is Burn And Your Goal Is To Race Them, and B) When You're Playing WIth Daze.

If you're running shocks then maybe jam some chills in your sideboard to hedge that one worse matchup.

Like, Underground sea is strictly better than watery grave, but the other 56 cards in the deck are still going to win plenty of games, it's not like the Sea is the thing that deals 20 damage.

It's relatively rare that a legacy game that doesn't involve dazes and delvers is affected by a few points of life.

Why when none of my friends, nor I, want to draft it and we don't play Legacy/Vintage? If I was going to play it, I would just draft it at the store instead.

Because with a sizable outlay of cash you can make less than minimum wage by dealing with the post office! Assuming you don't get scammed somehow.

I was just going to post that you only need 3 Tundras and that they didn't do the stupid price hike that Underground Sea did when I checked a few months ago when I picked up my 3rd one. Then I checked TCG and what the gently caress, it went up $60+ in the span of like 2-3 months.

Edit: waiting on the Kird Ape reprint so I can remake my first GR deck.

eternal masters announcement has caused reserve list cards to move. Expect more price moves after EMA if legacy demand spikes.

I've seen more and more people at my local shops running shocks over duals. Particularly Watery Grave over Underground Sea, since there are a lot of UB decks that can spare two life or can live with a tapped land. Re-animator, ANT, Shardless, etc.

You can't run shocks in ANT because your life is very relevant for going off with extra probes and for Ad Nausiam. Also any deck playing Daze can't play shocks for obvious reasons.

I remember there was a thing from Blogotog saying that there'll be a new format introduced this year, wonder if it'll be the whole "Legacy w/o the reserve list" thing people have been raging about.

If they did a legacy without reserved list cards or just straight up banning reserved list cards in legacy would be beautiful.

No it wouldn't. It would be way too similar to modern. One of the great things about the legacy is playing with real duals.

They have to reprint port for mtgo unless they have some other plan, I'd almost put money on it being in the set if it weren't wotc we were talking about here but I think good odds it is in the set.

With this being an aggressive format it might be different but typically Chalice is terrible in a format where 1 drops are meaningless and your curve is heavy in 3s and 4s.

New Vampiric Tutor and Forcawill are pretty good, and I like Black Tim. Daze also has good art it's just on the wrong card. Enlightened tutor is coolish as well, really I think the only big misses are Void and Counterspell

Chalice seems very bad in limited because there's no real reason why it should hurt your opponent more than it hurts you. Although the most likely case is that it does nothing at all.
