Buying multiple cases of VIP boosters isn't my thing, but then again I own at least 4 decks worth more than a decent used car so...

For now, if you look at the upper left corner with a jewelers loup it'll tell you how many days until the card destroys itself.

My collection is in one large Tupperware storage bin and two smaller bins, it's horribly unorganized other than one of the smaller bins holding all of my sleeved decks. The most impressive thing in my collection is probably my mostly foiled-out Modern Mill deck but I still have a few cards to go before it's complete.

got around to making that buying/selling/trading thread post for the VIP stuff, will add the non-box topper stuff later: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=3679632&pagenumber=424&perpage=40#post507653736 also, a long shot, but are there any folks in here with excess Unstable rare variants or extra near mint Unglued cards? I'm short a couple Unstable cards for a complete set and like a fifth of an Unglued set roughly, the above post has everything I'm after listed.

 Here is some random life counters I dug up while looking for a few cards for EDH. I can't even begin to calculate how many games I played with the sleeved one and the other two I have never actually used. I picked them up for $15 probably 10-11 years ago because they look cool.

There’s just not a whole lot of them floating around and it’s a powerful effect a lot of decks in different formats want. Once the Jumpstart pipeline starts up again it should go down a lot, iirc they’re going to keep it in print for a while. The memey mill lord that only Reddit guys have any interest in is like 30 bucks. Edit- here’s a price visualizer: https://mtg.dawnglare.com/?p=viz&s=JMP Stuff like Tinybones being 50 bucks is pretty telling. fadam fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Aug 29, 2020 |

https://mtg.dawnglare.com/?p=viz&s=JMP Prices are insane right now. I had originally planned to save the packs intact for future grab-and-play shenanigans, but instead I ended up selling anything remotely good I opened for store credit. When boxes are $100 again I'm going to pick up another one, format is fun as hell for casual play.

I wonder if a lot of these Jumpstart unique cards will also be in Commander Legends. Turn around time between Jumpstart and Commander Legends probably wasn't long enough to plan for Jumpstart being so short printed unexpectedly.

It's a rare card in a niche product with a print run lower then it's demand that is being speculated to have a strong impact on Legacy and is likely going to become a cEDH staple. Also, Magic nerds are bad with money.

There are also roughly 10,000,000 Elf decks in the Commander world and no one hates getting their spells countered more than Timmy. Shepherd is in the unfortunate sweet spot like Stoneforge Mystic was, where it’s an incredibly powerful tournament level card that also happens to perfectly slot into even the most casual of green decks. Literally everyone who plays Magic could find a home for this card, compared to Emiel or Tinybones, who are decidedly more narrow.

I’ve heard that Mystery Boosters, Jumpstart, and 2XM were all supposed to be printed to order and would be available and according to literally every retailer in North and South Carolina that is simply not the case. I have no idea what’s going on but every other major toy company has gotten back up to speed on to production in light of COVID and Hasbro is a billion dollar mega corporation so I honestly have no idea what the gently caress is going on anymore.

Here in Nebraska apparently every local game store got less than half of the Jumpstart they ordered, and the one I usually visit had sold out before 5 PM on release day. I just want to pick up 8 packs for not gently caress you pricing and play a couple casual games with my wife.

I just want to pick up 8 packs for not gently caress you pricing and play a couple casual games with my wife. That's exactly what I did with my box, and to be honest the gameplay of Jumpstart wasn't all that great if that's any consolation. It felt like the vast majority were just non-games. There's the normal Magic RNG of getting mana screwed out of one of your colors combined with sometimes on player having a great synergistic pairing like Goblins and Lightning being Red Decks Wins quality and the other having some major anti-synergy combo like Milling and Cats where you just durdle around for a few turns and die. Luckily I opened two of the mill guy, two tinybones, and a few other random cards that I promptly turned around and sold so I made my money back but also didn't get either of the two cards I was hoping for (Allosaurus Shepherd and Emiel the Blessed). I'm just going to wait for the second printing to pick those up with the store credit I got from selling off the mythics I did open.

The actual gameplay of Jumpstart is extremely piss poor and almost always decided before the round starts. If your opponent opened a planeswalker pack every card in their deck is better than the best card in your deck. The power levels are all over the place.

Maro has said that basically jumpstart can only be made at some (not all) of their usual printers.
