Is it a safe assumption to assume that once boxes are actually being opened inquisition of Kozalik will go closer to the 2-3 dollar range?

The urge is strong for me to pull the trigger on stuff now seeing prices this low, but I think they can go further down.

ShaneB posted:God, they could at least open a box with friends and just provide all the cards for a sealed event or draft. Even if they keep them, anything but just cracking them... I buy a box of everything and open it just for the gently caress of it. Masters sets are hysterically funny to open when you have disposable income.

It is the best way for Jund to play around its weakest match-ups. And it is the best land destruction spell in Modern.

Hmmm, this one's been bend tested 6 times in tournaments to prove authenticity, it's getting there... *carefully eyes the NM copy* Has WOTC acknowledged the more recent fakes? The only article I can find on the actual site is this one from 2004: http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/buyer-beware-2004-04-26

I wish the lack of funds for basic adult things was a sign of not being able to pay for magic cards. A facebook group for a LGS close to my hometown is low income and full of begging for rides to fnm each week. One individual begs for himself and his wife (2 kids, who knows where they go during this time) for a ride each week because he doesn't have a car. He does however seem to have the ability to trade for all the hot standard staples at a given time and swapped between expensive decks constantly. I am sure he is a mtgfinance savant and not an irresponsible person spending what little money he has on magic cards. But yeah, investigation seem like they are pretty easy if the person confesses to you or someone else.

We're dangerously close to another thread-favorite "poor people are not allowed to pay for anything fun" slapfight so can we just pretend that already happened and move on to something else.

I actually didn't copy and paste that post but I truly feel this way. There are some cool younger kids at our local FNM who play semi budget decks or a couple of the known decks with single cards and other budget options because they're like 16-20 and I don't feel like that should be excluded from a Modern event because they can't afford to spend $700 or more on a deck. I know others feel different and I don't meant to turn it into an 80'sJH hottake but for FNM or saturday store level events who really loving cares

I am hard pressed to believe there has ever been a counterfiet ever made of stifle from any big printer. Unless this person is attempting to make them themselves it was real. Goyfs on the other hand have had issues with the shade of green being just right on those proxies.

When I was on chemo I was not allowed to drive within a few days of receiving each treatment, so I asked for rides to fnm. It was unsafe for me to drive but not unsafe for me to play with cardboard. There are more reasons than money to not drive.
