Where are y'all seeing Tarns that cheap? CFB and Amazon don't seem to have seen the needle move all that much.

It's 11 in the morning in half of the country and most people didn't skip work to go pick up their $200 boxes of cardboard. Prices won't move until supply and demand catch up and force sellers to undercut each other. Generally speaking you can do well making trades over the weekend and the next until supply runs out. It usually sticks at the lower price for a few months before some super hot tech comes up in a GP and brings cards back up.

I look at the actual lowest price on the actual page for the card.

I'm so sick of these poors ruining drafts. I let people know before a draft that if they don't drop, I'm taking everyone to Applebees. It's what I like to call a win/win.

That's remarkably stingy. Least they could do is 3 for 3-0, 2 for 2-0-1, and 1 for 2-1.

Really makes me wish WOTC would standardize FNM draft buy-in and minimum prizing. Every store having its own "unique" and arcane method is tiresome.

$40 per draft for me, but pack per win in Swiss. That's okay compared to 1 pack for 2-1 and 1xAER for worse.

Also, thanks a lot to whoever mentioned the HAUMPH code for CFB today. I'm buying (mostly) into this list, except for what's being reprinted in modern masters for now: http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/modern-abzan-aggro-legless-walkers/. I've been playing Magic since Shards of Alara and I've never had a sanctioned format constructed deck before so this is a big step for me!

EDIT: here's the list I'm going for, sorry it's all out of order but I can't figure out how to get deckstats to re-order it by type permanently I finally figured it out

Deck: Fatty Robots

//Lands
4 Blooming Marsh
1 Forest
1 Gavony Township
1 Godless Shrine
2 Marsh Flats
2 Overgrown Tomb
1 Swamp
1 Temple Garden
1 Vault of the Archangel
4 Verdant Catacombs
2 Windswept Heath

//Spells
4 Dromoka's Command
3 Fatal Push
4 Hardened Scales
1 Nissa, Voice of Zendikar
4 Traverse the Ulvenwald

//Creatures
4 Arcbound Ravager
4 Arcbound Worker
2 Dark Confidant
4 Hangarback Walker
2 Scavenging Ooze
4 Walking Ballista
4 Winding Constrictor

//Sideboard
2 Anafenza, the Foremost
1 Fatal Push
2 Grafdigger's Cage
4 Lingering Souls
2 Spellskite
4 Thoughtseize

$40 for mine. Each win gets you a MM17 booster, maybe more for going 3-0.

They're also doing MM17 2HG for $45.

The only way I'm drafting this set is if a friend wants to do a draft with one of their boxes. I'm not buying any packs and I'm saving for singles and watching TCG player price drops over the next few weeks. Prices are already looking amazing for singles.

People worried about their prior cards value going down don't really need to unless the card was an uncommon. After 6 months these cards are going to climb back up somewhere close to their original value. I think Snapcaster may even go higher than he was before.

Prize support only matters to the players who are good, which is like 1/5th of them. You make the other 4/5 very happy if you keep the cost of entry low despite minimal prizing.

This is totally going to depend in how big the print run is. If demand is sated and standard becomes playable prices could stay much lower well past 6 months.
