There's only four decks. An insect one would be pretty rad. I really, REALLY hope we get a Knight deck too.

I dislike the idea of a Knight tribal edh deck because it can only have one Knight Exemplar

Since Arahbo is an Avatar I assume he's just like the Ur-Dragon, a literal personification of Cat. The other two decks are probably lead by Avatars too.

Saproling tribal. Enchantress tribal (if only). Ooze tribal could genuinely be fun and they're weird enough that a powerful one could sneak into print.

It occurs to me that the Dragon deck actually had a new legendary Cat card in it. If all the decks actually share themes (they probably don't) then the other two decks might be Spirits and Monks.

This is extremely decent of y'all. I've been a partner in a game store and definitely would be hosed over by the main partner if he found anything at all of value remaining.

I just want a Merfolk deck with reprints of all the key creatures for Modern Merfolk. Hopefully the upcoming duel deck will be able to provide that, but I have a feeling that only Lord of Atlantis or Master of the Pearl Trident is going to be the included lord if it's not something from Ixalan.

There is no reason something like Cursecatcher couldn't be reprinted in any set. They just choose not to.

We already know there's gonna be Merfolk in Ixalan and there's sure as hell gonna be more of them in Dominaria. Dominaria in particular seems like the best place for potential reprints - Ixalan might have some, but it looks like they're doing some new UG thing with them so they'll probably be focused mostly in that direction, and commander is probably not a safe outlet for that kind of reprint. I'm not sure standard is in a place where it can handle two mana lords, though Cursecatcher is probably safe to dump wherever. ...then again, having Cursecatcher be the most expensive card in your deck that isn't a land or vial is a pretty first world problem. EDIT: I guess Return to Zendikar could have done better for Merfolk if they had printed any good cards in the set. Voyager I fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Jul 5, 2017 |

I just tried to read a tournament report on pucatrade.com, and got a warning that it was a phishing website. How the mighty have fallen. I mean, everyone knew it was a ponzi scheme, but at least it was a reputable ponzi scheme.

Hopefully Lord of Atlantis will be a functional reprint for ~lore~ reason, so modern Merfolk can run 12 copies of the same card instead of just 8.

That's likely a technical issues that has to do with their certs expiring, not the fact that they torpedoed their own site. Also sell off chaff for funbux, convert funbux into better cards is a good idea in concept. They just decided to throw a bunch of barriers in the way of being able to do that instead of just monetizing the funbux and selling ads.

I was always under the impression it was due to all the free money they put into the economy which tanked the value of their currency and required people having to put bounties and poo poo on their wants, and generally slowing down the utility of the site into nothingness. I built most of my peasant cube using the site before it went to poo poo, though, so I can't complain too much.

I did the Puca shuffle for a little bit. Wound up turning some Origins prerelease crap and random Standard cards I acquired into EDH crap but also managed a Damnation and Gala's Cradle so it's hard to hate it even if the site is worthless now.

I traded a ton of commander jank and a few real cards and got a ton of cube foils, pauper stuff, and an UNL Scrubland. It was cool while it worked. Fortunately I was down to like 70 points when they rolled out their new site, and eventually several months after I forgot it existed someone sent me a Comet Storm to get me to exactly 0 points.

I was about to say something snarky like 'Too bad a deck with white in it doesn't have any way to remove creatures' but then I realize you probably meant Elesh Norn as a commander. Good thing they cut the balls off of tuck effects so that there really is no way to make people's bullshit commanders go away forever, or at least for a significant amount of time.

When everything is valued at tcg mid or whatever it just exacerbates things. I had a coworker who was pretty religious about dumping his draft chaff and did turn it in to a number of cards with actual value but it never seemed worth my time investment. I was always worried about holding the bag with a leftover amount of points and no way to turn them in to something I want at the end of the day, too.

For a blue player, Declaration of Naught is still an all right tech choice that accomplishes something similar to the tuck rule.
