25th Anniversary Masters should just be Alpha, all the way down to missing Circle of Protection:Black, and Island in the rare slot.

I didn't even come close to dropping a game with that reanimate cube deck, easy 3-0. Funniest moments: 1) Opponent concedes on Turn 2 to Animate Dead ---> Grave Titan 2) Opponent casts Force of Will on a Thoughtseize targetting myself on Turn 2 3) Opponent tries to avoid lethal from Corpse Dance (put top creature on battlefield, gets haste until end then sac), so he casts Brain Freeze. Mill 6, put Grave Titan on top.

wow maro sure is being a baby about people not being super stoked about the EV on their seventy two dollar packs of magic cards. i might feel some sympathy for him if the entire purpose of the set wasnt to sell forty dollar drafts.

the "____ masters" poo poo being made to be a ~draftable set!~ is the most unbearable nakedly greedy garbage ever. i absolutely guarantee it was the result of sitting down and saying "okay how can we reprint SOME stuff while still justifying having Keiga take up a mythic slot and putting nickel uncommons in packs"

There was never a "should we make it draftable?" conversation for any ______ Masters set, because packs of random cards that aren't explicitly designed for Limited play is something that they haven't done since about 1996.

They released a set in 2004 where the intended way to play was to open the packs and chuckle.

personally i don't buy packs in the hopes of getting anything good because the vast majority of the time there's a negative ROI on them just buy singles if you're not drafting you dorks

Still with laser robot art, natch. It costs 5 which is waaaay too much in eternal formats, and removal down there is so efficient that Void isn't really going to blow anyone's mind anyway.

I've had pretty good luck with Masters sets (Mox Opal in my one MM15 pack, Damnation Goblin Guide in my one MM17 draft, Vial in my one IMA pack) and poo poo luck with everything else, which I guess is better than the other way around.

I buy a pack every time I go to fnm as a way to support the store (their singles are lacking so I buy online mostly). I know it's a waste of cash but it's a nice way to be sure they're not paying processing fees on my $5 entry fee when I charge it.

Oh, I don't see any issue opening a pack just for the hell of it-- you're paying more for the experience of a random chance rather than anything inside the pack. Even I do that sometimes, just for the fun of opening a pack. But if you're opening packs on a gamble of getting a big money card, you're ultimately wasting your money more often than not. Better to just buy the single than spend money on a small chance of getting it.
