You could have just said "drop-shipping with stolen cards" and that's way quicker than 17 minutes.

I've seen enough posts about fakes in this thread that I'm starting to get paranoid about any high-priced items that I pick up...

The black border was a little light and I wasn't able to shine my phone's flashlight through it. The text, mana symbols, and set set symbol also look a little janky, so they probably won't pass if I look at them through a jeweler's loop. The cards also felt a little glossy.

My guess is that the ebay images were either real or low quality enough to look real while looking at them in person breaks the illusion. Fidelity of print, cardstock quality, etc. E: Also that^^

That fake card made me look up how color identity is determined, and realize I can't have Ellusive Tormenter in my RWB Vamps Commander deck. I only wanted to include it because it's fun and flavorful.

Well meddling mages and ancient ziggurats have both been bought out and spiked in the last 24 hours. I wasn't too worried about seeing that humans deck at regionals this weekend but maybe it's going to be more popular that I expected.

There was some early speccing going on that happened before the demand kicked in. Lots of chatter of these cards in the less public places. I have 2 playets of meddling mages back when I bought them on accident a year ago. Fun times.

Is there a version of Necropotence with something approaching the Oracle text, but the original art? I need one for Commander Draculas.

Even still, "exile" didn't exist back then and the end of turn terminology is different. So to answer, no, you won't get the original artwork with word-for-word current Oracle text.

The humans decks specializes in making those cards worse or a dead draw. Their creatures are also better than yours aggro wise.

Chord and company are important, but you still have thalia and freebooter against a 30 creature deck. Trying to nail the combo with meddling mage is also very difficult.

On the other hand the company decks creatures aren't on par with the humans deck. It would naturally need to draw into the combo most of the time.

It's blue because it's hexproof/unblockable.

Hexproof and unblockability aren't black, though. The thing really should've just been blue on both sides.

It could've been something other than a Vampire (maybe a monoblue Human Wizard or something, I don't know). Vampires becoming smoke is cool, yeah, but cool flavour shouldn't be an excuse to break pie. The activated ability could've also cost U instead of 1; that way, the front side could've been black without pie issues, since you'd need blue mana to get to the blue abilities.

Well, my modern stompy deck just got it's fun one-of slot filled. Getting to 10 combined power/devotion by turn 3, and then Aspect of Hydra into this dude turn 4 shouldn't be a problem.

At this point someone is going to have to physically stop me from making Tezzeret decks over and over. Trying to ALSO make them Marionette Master decks hasn't worked out well in the past, but I'm a glutton for punishment, I suppose.

Tezzeret, Herald of Anguish and Marionette Master with various support cards around them. The problem is that there's no real reason not to play the I WIN card in the same color combo other than it's $50.

fluffyDeathbringer posted:Hexproof and unblockability aren't black, though. The thing really should've just been blue on both sides. Discarding a card and paying 4 mana total to have a creature get around removal and then getting in unopposed is, perhaps, not odd in a color that already has methods of getting around removal and creatures with evasion. It's not that different from Deathless Ancient, a creature with evasion that gets around removal in a different way. Elusive Tormentor is already doing things black already does, just in a weird and more absolute way for the purpose of flavor.
