There are no modern decks that run damnation, right? It's just an expensive Commander card?

Eternal Masters would be a better place for it then.

Showing up in actual Modern decks was never a prerequisite for a card being rare or mythic in a Modern Masters set. Remember in the first one they filled five mythic slots with that dragon cycle from Kamigawa?

i have to admit that the mono black control dorks getting so horned up for a damnation reprint sort of makes me enjoy it never getting reprinted, but the fact that its extremely expensive makes me feel conflicted about all of the times i have caused others pain

Modern Masters 3 will have a expedition rarity foil checklist cards that have 2 options on them. They will print Delver of Secrets and Huntmaster of the Fells on the same one.

Seeing them replace tokens with cards that are single-sided, single card checklists would actually be neat. And then they could foil / expedition them too if they want.

Hmm, if you had a Delver that was somehow misprinted with a normal back, would it be legal to play?

I only really watch Pro Tours and it seems like he goes up and down a lot, e.g. sometimes he looks like he's let himself go and sometimes he looks reasonably in shape.

I am pretty sure if you look at the other mythics it's pretty clear what was being played had a role in the cards they selected. The first modern masters has kicked the poo poo out of the other masters sets.

If Bribery is going to continue to be Modern legal they need to put it in Modern Masters so I can play it in draft for personal amusement.

Alot of those cards were much cheaper when MM1 was printed. Some of them have gotten crazy stupid like Bridge and Finks. So many of the Commons/uncommons too exploded for the burn, dredge, and ritual decks. I had a dozen lava spikes from drafting and sold them all for a buck each.

I got 2 Gonti's in a modo draft once; can confirm it owns, and flickering them to oblivion owns.

Most of the cops I work with are pretty jazzed.

My magic friends on the other hand are for the most part very unhappy about the situation, since we have a humongously nerdy quaker college in my neck of the woods, there are lots of left leaning nerds. That being said, the most fervent and vocal Trumpenreich supporters out here are people I have met through magic/board game groups.

Almost all of my magic friends are judges and are therefore extremely upset about this. One just came out as trans, which must take tremendous bravery at a time like this.

They really, really love Magic the game and wish WOTC would pull their heads out of their asses?

We're not WOTC drones. We volunteer (I mean, we do get paid, but come on) because we love the game, we want to make the experience for the players the best it can possibly be, and we want to create a welcoming environment so that everyone can enjoy magic (especially since a small but vocal group of nerds seem intent on making it as exclusive and unwelcoming as possible).

This seems deraily; people were talking about their MTG friends' reactions to <current event>, so I provided mine. I'm not bragging about how wonderfully tolerant judges are, just that they trend socially liberal, and I think a not-insignificant portion of them got into judging to make the scene less toxic.

i dont think you can ascribe any political intent to that because wotc has fostered this sort of attitude around their entire game that they have no money and need free labor and that if you TRULY loved magic you'd endure their terrible treatment of these free employees
