I'd try it as a fun of in food chain goblins before I wrote it off. I can see this being a lotus pretty easy in that format. It's definitely a brick against some decks and stupid good ramp against others. I'm not going to double sleeve 4 but I believe it has very limited use somewhere funky

I can't wait to finally build the lovely Wall tribal deck with Morophon/Arcades/Doran that I've always wanted to build.

I wish it was WUBRG

5 Color Wall jank is something I would play commander for. Arcades is cool but you don’t get to play red which has some of the fattest butts in the world like 0/8 Wall of Stone and 0/7 Wall of Granite and a bunch of 0/6’s and then you can’t play black to play BR Daretti who’s +1 makes 1/1 Defenders and you miss out on the 0/13 Tree

Ash barrens is a $3-4 card and it just got a reprint, was it a no show in C19 decks?

It's one of those "staple in almost any deck" kind of cards like Reliquary Tower and Sol Ring

I ordered the ten guild kits, but Amazon cancelled my order for one set of five and jacked up the price, so I think I'm going to return the rest and save my money for Eldraine/Arena. Hope you enjoyed my Magic: the Gathering story.

Also it's nowhere near as much of staple status as Sol Ring.

It is quite good in many pauper decks, though.

Why is sol ring still a $5 card. I get that it goes in every commander deck. But it’s also printed in every commander deck.

After 7 years of printing it I feel like the market is sufficiently flooded with them. Are there people still buying them at $4-$5?

Yes. Commander is very popular and people like to build lots of decks, and Sol Ring is an auto-include, pretty much always.

Path to Exile is still ten dollars despite being an uncommon and the zillion times it's been reprinted. It's just drat good.

"Thus," concluded Miyamoto, "you must give up everything you have to be my disciple."

Sol Rings are only 1€ here in Europe but they do sell within two days whenever I put some on MKM. I suspect it's just people who are too lazy to switch them between their pile of Commander decks.

I have at least 10 sol rings. If it was a $1 card and I needed a second one I’d for sure buy one so I didn’t have to switch.

It just seems like the casuals are probably going to buy a deck a year and the grinders are gonna buy 1-4 a year and eventually everyone is going to have extras laying around after a few years.

It just surprises me it has a premium uncommon level of value still. Not worth like a dollar or two.

A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

I'd be willing to bet most of the commander deck copies stayed with the original owner. If you bought the deck to play with, no matter what you do with it, you're going to need one.

2 years. Is this the longest standard rotation we've ever had?

Standard has had 2-year rotations for practically the entire time it has existed.

It’s not obvious that ‘cast’ excludes land cards so it’s good it says it.

...on the plus side I'm feeling much more angry now than I expected so this totally helps me get in character.
This is however the first Standard with full-sized sets for most of that two years, as Rivals was the last small set. So the card pool for this Standard is actually rather larger than used to be normal, and if they keep rotation like this Standard will continue to have a larger average card pool going forward.

Maybe they should try shortening the rotation, like say, make it rotate twice a year and each pair of sets is in standard for about a year and half?

Why would we want them to change something thats working perfectly fine, especially to a system that already failed catastrophically and the entire community begged them to get rid of?

I think there may have been something about these past two years that have made them feel longer than any other 2-year period in Magic's lifetime
