What complete scumbags. I just assumed they sold all the ones they had through there private store. 10 cents to 2.50$ per is a big spike.

Count Bleck posted:Okay but. This was my point, I thought it might be people wanting to be "cool" and play the old printing in standard but there's going to be literally millions of them opened. Edit: I kinda get it a little now I think about it, it was originally printed in a set that's not modern legal and by printing it in IXL it makes it modern legal now. Still retarded but I kinda get it.

Count Bleck posted:So, where are you putting everything else? Uh, in my constantly expanding 5000 count boxes of bulk that I'll never do anything with, of course. (I'm not even kidding.) Babylon Astronaut posted:Cracking a box is fun for me as well, but I would never call it an investment. Exactly. It's only a problem when people buy boxes expecting to profit from the value of the cards they open. Sure sometimes it will happen, but 95% of the time, you're going to be in for a bad time.

The Invasion edition of Opt is in the old frame. That's why people want it. The illustration sucks and the Gerrard quote sucks. But it's the old frame.

This run on Opts has me wondering if you could build a passable Modern deck solely from cards in the old-style frame. So anything printed pre-8th Edition, TSP Timeshifted, and Judge promos in the old frame like Noble Hierarch. My first instinct is some sort of mono-red prison deck since you have Blood Moon and Ensnaring Bridge (and don't need Modern-era duals like shocklands), maybe some mana denial stuff like Avalanche Riders and Stone Rain. But I'm pretty sure that deck would have zero wincons other than your opponent rage-quitting. C-Euro fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Sep 12, 2017 |

I got a good laugh out of people seriously asking if that Blood Moon change was going to break open Dark Depths, a card that is already banned for significantly more powerful interactions than "play Blood Moon, then play this land, then destroy Blood Moon"

Sickening posted:Sellers on tcgplayer are getting worse. On the 6th, I ordered some old opts because I like the old art. Since a playset was only 40 cents, I bought some elemental tokens at 6x the price to make sending them less painful for the seller. It came out to 5.50$, fine. Report them to TCG player. They do not gently caress around any more and will get the seller to send you some opts or risk getting delisted.

I did a few drafts of IMA on that draftsim site, and it seems like UG mill is a passable deck, at least to the point where you can enable a whole bunch of Jace's Phantasms. Also, I can't wait to draft the hell out of this set. Necronomicon fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Sep 12, 2017 |

Played in a pppptq this past Saturday at a store that was an "abandoned laundromat" in the owner's words. They hadn't had running water for a couple months because supposedly the county was loving them over. The owner said we could use the bathroom in the dollar general across the street and phrased it in a way that made it sound like they had an arrangement. This was not the case as several people reported when they tried exactly that. In response to this, the owner said he used to be a store manager there and you could just use the bathroom and the employees can't stop you. As most people aren't sociopaths we just pissed in the woods behind but I felt bad for the couple women, and especially bad for the trans one. He got reported.

To add to this it was clear that he had been pissing in the woods for months himself I'm glad this was only the event of this sort I really plan on playing; kinda sums the whole thing up Edit: To be additionally clear, his words were, verbatim "They can't stop you", which conjures up images of him walking in there every day to talk a poo poo, staring deep into the manager's eyes the whole time while giving her the finger

Throw in some Lavamancers and maybe some Goblins (King, Mogg Fanatic, Piledriver, Grenade, Seige-Gang being the original Mom and Dad) and it could work.
