So I ignored MTG for a few sets and now I come back and every top eternal format deck is using Lurrus? Do people think it'll get banned?

Generally they try to let sales go on as long as possible before they pull the trigger. Its much more complicated now because the product isnt even out on paper yet and shipping this product out with the chase companions banned would not be good for the bottom line. I would love to be wrong.

Bust Rodd posted:its ok, they are printing a free negate and a free misdirection into these upcoming precons, and those will be $40 and $20 cards by the end of the year (even though they only work in Commander), and Arcane Signet hasn't been printed enough that it won't climb back up to $6+, so a couple of these will hold value. I'm def grabbing the Jeskai one Same. The commanders in it are cool too. Rest of the decks are pretty lame though imo.

Could they restrict him plus ban him as a companion? Also, Brawl has to be Drannith Magistrate.

It's still so funny to me that winota digs SIX cards into your deck per trigger. They really liked agent over at R&D.

Card probably wouldn't be playable at less than 6 and likely isn't going to be playable after Agent rotates out.

They couldn’t just ban companion, they can’t just ban a mechanic outright. Of all the suggestions being bandied “ban companion” seems like the least likely.

Rinkles posted:are standard companions that bad that a blanket ban is even entering the conversation? People started talking about blanket banning companions before they even got to play with them. They're not going to be blanket banned, the only one that comes at all close in Standard is Yorion, but I think the meta is still evolving and it doesn't need to be.

Yorion turned out to be the strongest one in standard but after it's banned the next best ones will dominate.

Yeah, at least for standard they're going to have to eventually ban all companions and admit they made a big mistake, or not ban them and hope it turns out alright in the next year or so while they're still legal. In more powerful formats they are going to have to address companions sooner or later, since having a companion is typically a huge advantage over those who don't.

Companions are the easily the biggest thing that is pushing me to not by paper product ever again. I really don't look forward to never playing cards that cost over 2 unless all 80 of my cards, excluding lands, have ETBs. I loving hates them. Hates. Them.

I joined the dark side and got a playset of Uros today because I know they're not gonna get any/much cheaper . That bant control list that Kanister put up seems to be the best thing I can be doing with my (formerly UW) control shell. It loving of course runs Yorion but I'm wondering if there's a world I can play it without yorion and still make the mana work.

So bored and bloated with stimulus $$$$ I just spent $50 on a deck box, 2 sets of sleeves, and new dice for my Legacy deck that I’ve shuffled up maybe 3 times in the last 4 years. For double-sleeved Commander decks I prefer the Ultra-Pro Towers, although I have to say that 2 of my 3 open smoothly but the third is kind of a pain to open quickly. For single sleeves Commander decks or any constructed 75 I’m all about Sidewinder Ultra Guard boxes. The snappy magnets and the texture make me feel like my decks are safe and stylish! No complaints about these whatsoever!

hey folks. been doing a lot of cleaning while locked down, and found a small Revised Starter Deck box, one of these fellas: it's the incredibly well-used, nearly-disintegrating box from the first pack of MTG cards I bought when I was 7 years old, a box that had that and like, a guide book or something in it. Anyways, inside it was a stack of rares and foils and such from a bunch of series ranging from Revised to some series past Urza's Legacy(the series where I stopped playing). I genuinely don't remember where these came from especially the ones from past UL what with dropping MTG around that point, but, any of it worth anything? Most of them are in good to great shape, a few are a bit hosed up or have worn edges, but most are I believe, if the standard of "so long as the back of the card isn't identifiably marred" holds up, almost all are still "tournament legal". I've also got a large box with like 50 pounds of cards(mostly my old, picked-over collection) in it but I think that's in my storage room and that sucker'll have to wait for another time. apologies for the crappy photo/flash, it's an old phone and the pictures just wouldn't take without the flash, but damned if magic cards aren't magnets for camera flash no matter what angle I shot at. so, any of this worth a goddamn?     totally cool if none of it is, just curious if anything's worth offloading.

Is it just me, or have card prices spike massively over the past couple months? My average deck cost on TappedOut have gone up 10-15%, with some of the staples, especially the commander and reserved list stuff, jumped up 40% in some case.  What the hell is going on? I thought prices were supposed to drop due to lack of paper magic going on. DreamScythe fucked around with this message at 06:48 on May 12, 2020 |

It's speculators taking advantage of the pandemic. Blightsteel Colossus has been run up to $100 and I can't tell what even for. I don't think that even "lol commander" is enough to explain that.

dang, nice. definitely tossing that phyrexian altar up then, probably sisay too. only thing I'm worried about is overly meticulous people freaking out over a small scratch or something on a card, when ebaying stuff like that, what's the best way to go about talking about condition, just say "card is used", provide a general condition like "dings along the edge, some marks, etc" and provide a photo, or go into critical detail on every small aspect? still forever regretting offloading all my dualies(was that a thing outside my local card shop? dual lands, obviously) for 30 bucks a pop back when I got out. just ebaying "revised dual land" makes me depressed since I had four of each. Oh well, I got them for next to nothing when magic was still fairly niche, so it's just coulda regret.

Don't ever regret selling cards for the going rate that they were at the time. How in the hell were you supposed to know that the conditions that made a Revised Underground Sea go for $500 in 2020?
