I play my unplayable legacy deck because it's the only time I get to hang out with my friends given my stupid work schedule. It's cool because everyone has multiple Dread of Nights so for the low cost of B I no longer get to play the game! If I was actually trying to make money I'd have bought 100 and also I would not be playing a children's card game.

How bad am I gonna get rooked if I trade in some random standard rares to TCGplayer for credit to finish my stupid stompy gruulasaur deck? The buylist prices are a lot less insulting than my friendly local magic shop for sure. If they are bad, is there a better option? Well the credit is great because there is rarely better deals than what can be found on tcgplayer. As far as the buylist stuff, I never really looked into it. Being a seller isn't any more painful as any other platform and probably worth the effort unless you are trying to buy list a ton of volume.

Lets Pickle posted:I think just having the Immortal Sun on a plane prevents planeswalkers from planeswalking to another plane? But it doesn't stop, say, a planar bridge. One of the cards from the set indicates that Tezzeret shows up to swipe The Immortal Sun and move it elsewhere using the bridge. Bolas stole a planar bridge, created an army of Eternals, and now will have the anti-planeswalking power of the Immortal Sun, but we don't know what his endgame is yet. Technically, I think Gideon and Chandra blew up the Planar Bridge but the idea is that he figured out the plans or something. Basically, the idea is, Bolas took the Planar Bridge's "plans" then returned to Amonkhet because the Bridge can only send non-living things through, so he's going to send the Eternals to...somewhere.

The buylist prices are a lot less insulting than my friendly local magic shop for sure. If they are bad, is there a better option? I've done it a few times. It's pretty much fine, but theyre really strict about shipping times; when you submit you have like 3-4 business days to have it DELIVERED to them. So long as youre good there; its been mostly reasonable. I did have some Mishra's Baubles sent back to me right when they announced the IMA reprint (I'd mailed them beforehand), which seemed a bit irritating, but all-in-all it's been good.

Most stores will even try to buy at %s of low which is just insulting when they turn around and charge more than mid.

So stupid rules question that I think I know the answer to but want to make sure of. Can I take control of an opponent's Phage with Willbreaker in order to use fractured identity on it to make them lose? I know the fractured identity part works. I'm just not certain on if taking control of Phage won't just make me lose.

While you can get some higher margins elsewhere, you really are putting in a lot more effort for that extra 10-40% for everything but the best staples.

Most stores will even try to buy at %s of low which is just insulting when they turn around and charge more than mid. The best LGS in town does about 50% of their face price and +40% (so their buy price * 1.4) if you take it in store credit. They curtail their buylist though, but it's a pretty good deal if you're just looking to shift from one collection to another. Of course, they're a rock on the local scene and have a pretty high volume, so they can probably reliably do this and not have the cards hang around in stock forever.

AceClown posted:wtf is "Law Magic" Magic that is used to enforce order or suppress the abilities of others. I think Gideon technically falls under that also. Elyv posted:Jace called either the island he landed on in Ixalan or the one he rafted over to in the first part of the Ixalan story Useless Island, I forget which The first one was Useless Island. He made a raft and then went to a second one and figured out the first one wasn't useless at all and the second one literally had nothing on it but bird poo poo.

Gideon uses law magic, yeah. It lets you suppress people or something, I'm not sure. A couple other things here and there are also law magic related E: Smashing Link posted:What's up with Garruk these days? Can he come back and kill Jace ASAP please kthx. the last time we saw Garruk was in whichever core set it was had the GB Garruk, and I think the last time before that was Innistrad. He's a crazy hunter dude now but I do think there's a reasonable chance he'll be in Dominaria because it's been a long time and he's tied in with Lili storywise

Hieromancy is just light magic though, basically white magic used to bind bodies mostly, and buff and healing too I want to say? Law magic dips into blue and binds the will as well as the body.
