Nissa against lily first match?

I am told that prerelease packs are seeded to have decent rares in them, but almost every prerelease I've done calls loving bullshit.

I wonder if someone could buy all 800 Druids from a small web store & move them fast enough to make a profit

I was wrong about the new Gideon. It's not great.

Spiderdrake posted:They probably could if they wanted to. This would mean making a separate rare sheet that biases towards cards that they think are good (by what metric?), put in to a separate pile of packs that have to be kept separate from your normal production output, at around the right quantity for one single event. It's totally out of the question.

So what's everyone seeing as good value in this set at the moment?

So if you discard a Madness card and cast it, does Shadow of the Grave return it? Or does the exile portion of madness block that?

Fuzzy Mammal posted:There's no way they're capable of this. I imagine they have these things parameterized on MODO, but every time they try to make changes, they get insane unintended consequences in the software. Like they increase mythic rare prevalence by 10% but simultaneously make Gleemox legal in booster draft.

sit on my Facebook posted:Can you go in to some more detail? I suspected that might be the case It doesn't protect itself very well and the decks you want to play it in don't even really want to tap out on T3 to play it. The +1 isn't as good as it looks especially if you don't have a bunch of other creatures and Gideon isn't conducive to going wide decks.

The prerelease packs kind of did have better rares than normal, if you mean when they made you pick a color and gave you a seeded pack with an on-color rare. The set of rares that could be your on-color promo foil rare was pretty small and a large majority of them were strong cards in limited. But for the actual random booster packs? No they're just normal boosters.

PJOmega posted:Above $5? I picked up 3 white gods for 2 a piece on pre-order, if a deck with white in it wants to go wide its pretty powerful. It also can turn itself on with its ability, so I feel its undervalued. Harsh mentor is a little overpriced at the moment. Soul-scar mage is a good pickup for anybody selling them 1.50 and under. Glory-bound initiate seemed like a steal from anybody selling them close to a dollar but that dried up fast. Combat Celebrant dropped pretty low and if any deck breaks out using it its going to be a hit. I don't think its good enough even in always watching shells but 3 bucks a piece is not exactly a huge gamble. The red god is also probably a little low considering hellbent is not that hard of a line to get to. The black god is pretty high for being something that looks terrible. I don't think a 4 power menace is a good payoff for sacking a creature and the ability seems overcosted. Glory bringer seems low but its also going to be a game day card so supply is going to be higher than normal for a rare. Sickening fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Apr 15, 2017 |

I got a playset of Devoted Druids on my lunch break and pre-ordered the white cards that break them and a green God to try as a one of in some of my chord/company builds. Thanks for the heads up on the druids!
