It's really thematic for pirates, and I expect they designed this product for long durdly games given how the board works. But yeah it would have fit a lot better in Archenemy or C17 or Conspiracy 2 or whatever.

as green stompy, how the gently caress do I beat combo decks like storm? also how do I beat storm as any deck because I feel like I don't even understand how it really functions

what kind of green stompy deck is this? Dryad Militant and Scavenging Ooze are pretty good at slowing down storm.

The seller they are talking about in the video is MTG Mint Card. I have bought dozens of cards from them with no problem.

MTG Mint Card is an Asian company. Cards printed in Asia feel different and I'm almost positive that's why he thinks they are fake. Add in some casual racism about ordering from an Asian company and voila.

Help my aging eyballs out, any of you see a Mana Vault or Land Tax in here?



Someone has a 4th edition gift box in good shape with the little bag and instruction pamphlet and everything for $45 up on CL locally. Could be fun to pick up just to carry decks around in for a lark.

I mean, it's not the worst pile. Nevinnyral's Disk, Mind Twist, Channel, Lightning Bolt, Tron pieces. It certainly hasn't been picked over.

That's a big ol pile of crap from the most worthless era of Magic, looks like a mix of 4th ed and Chronicles. Sylvan Library is worth something, and the Urza's lands are probably a buck or two. Apart from that the only value is nostalgia.

There's a Mountain Yeti there that kinda sorta looks like a Taiga if you squint, but don't be fooled.

E: Lightning Bolt in the middle there, probably a buck or two.

Yeah, if it were the Revised version I'd roll the dice and buy it sight unseen, assuming a scenario where I trusted the seller that it was complete.

I was just hoping for one of the three or so ~$15-20 rares from 4e to justify the nostalgia of wanting the old box/counter bag/rulebook to store stuff in.

Shame the decks weren't kept sorted apart. Would be fun to play with what used to pass for "starter decks," 5 colors with basically random lands, no mana fixing, and a completely random assortment of cards.

Old multicolor/legend creature design manages to somehow be worse than old mono-color creature design, which is a real accomplishment.

Good sideboard tech in case they are running that cycle of legendary lands that gives legends bands with other legends, and do not have any mana ability or even [T] ability.

This reminds me that I used to run Tolaria in place of an Island just for grins, and should get one to do that again in any format that allows it.

E: As much as I talk about Craw Wurms, my favorite Bad Old Magic Creature was the spitting slug.

E2: I just remembered that Juzam Djinns were the hallmark of a "highly playable creature" in those days. My buddy and I did some shrewd trading and saving up from after school jobs to each get a playset of them at 40-50 bucks a pop to dominate the local type 1 scene.

looked up what they go for now, which I should basically not do for any card I have ever owned and sold. :smith:

Still, I feel like if Juzam were dropped into a set today having never existed, it would be an uncommon that wouldn't register as anything super special. You'd maybe take in draft if your other options weren't very good, but it wouldn't pull you into black on its own.

It'd have to be either a really dire pack or a set with a lot of Djinn synergy to make me excited about a 5/5 for 2BB, even without the drawback.

The first time I read the card I thought it just cost BB. Even then it's "gurmag angler, except twice as expensive and it damages you".

The biggest own back in the day was your opponent putting Spirit Link on it.

It was still worth it. The state of spot removal was pretty bad, and very few creatures above like 2/2 gave reasonable let alone ahead of curve p/t rate. Dark Ritual into a Sol Ring and this bad boy on turn one and you were living the dream.
