I wonder if there's a place for "From Under the Floorboards" maybe as a 1 or 2 of in a zombie deck, always hoped it would see something.

So I had time to look around at my parents house today. Hypothetically speaking, what would you recommend someone do with 13 Revised dual lands in NM/M condition?

Either play legacy or sell them, probably the latter.

If you want to play Legacy or Commander keep them. If not, sell them to buy into Modern. Do not trade or sell non standard cards for standard cards.

This, if it were me I'd buy in to a couple of modern decks but deffo don't trade/sell in to standard.

Your local scene makes a big impact here - if you have legacy around, then you're a good portion towards a few decks, or by selling the duals you don't need, the entire way towards the deck of your choice. If it's mostly modern, then selling some to buy into modern is reasonable (depending on dual, it's about 7:1 in terms of duals:modern decks flat out). As others have said, don't buy in to standard.

Honestly take a look around the formats and see what interests you and is available in your area.

I'm pretty torn, on one hand I loved that deck and made sure to save it when I sold my collection. On the other hand, I haven't played Magic in 17 years and it seems like these are an unknown amount of time away from better Chinese counterfeits making them worthless. I feel like selling them is smart play.

Yeeeeah, I think so? You need to hold up a lot of mana to use the abilities and I don't think there's a good free sac outlet to really exploit it. It can be a solid card but probably can't sustain the price.

Its a mythic and zombies has tons of casual appeal. The price is going to stay high.

The menace and curve is the most important part. The ability is going to be relevant less often.

Zombies wasn't a deck that showed up in a feature match. Look at the prices of it right now. Its going to be at least 6 weeks before it would drop again in any significant way for all sorts of reasons. Casual people by the truck loads are going to want to build this deck or decks like it. Zombies, goblins, angels, and all the other iconic tribals get a boost in price from casual appeal. I am sure fnm's everywhere are seeing this deck this next friday.

God forbid it cements its way into a tier 2 deck of the format. If that happens it keeps going up.

And would have closed the game way earlier if he used his hub for the red to exert and kill Thing in the Ice before it could flip and kill his Gideon the very next turn. It was a huge punt, and he was so lucky the control player bricked on land for about 4 turns.

there are a lot of fundamental issues with a lot of stuff related to standard but i think one thats pretty underrated is that wizards pushes their cards they want to be good way too drat hard. two decks being 70%+ of the standard format into perpetuity probably isnt great

What's the best way for me and a buddy to do a sealed draft for Ahmonkhet? I'm guessing "buy a fuckload of boosters" isn't a very effective way to do it. Where do I source Lands from?

I'm not entirely sure that Mardu is objectively the best deck as much as it was piloted waaay better than the decks it's played against (on camera at least) were piloted against it.

Edit: also as Cedric just said, Mardu is a very complete 75 card deck, and none of the opposing decks have felt that way

Meh. It's pretty clearly the best deck in that room today, specifically, but there were at least 4 instances I saw where the opponent just punted away a win against them. It doesn't seem unbeatable, just the right call for a 48 hour old format.
