I got some Card Kingdom gift cards for Xmas and I’m thinking about blowing it on a MH2 set booster box. Good idea or great idea?

you should buy a draft box to play with friends instead of gambling alone with a set box. Imho

Not a fan of those full art black and white lands. Having seen them played on mtgo it looks like players are forgetting they're not always swamps

"Just buy singles" I say as I continue to tear open booster boxes of new sets. "You're wasting your money, gambling it away like that" I mutter, adding a Midnight Hunt Collector's Booster Box for $159 to my cart.

actually, don't buy sealed product. don't play arena, and don't play mtgo. don't give Hasbro your money. and don't even buy singles and contribute to the predatory card economy. print the cards on pieces of printer paper so it's obvious they're not proxies. play in person with your friends. gently caress the system

That ninja commander seems pretty eh, considering you have to play him, have another creature in play that can attack that turn, and doesn't get blocked, attack, and then pay 4 to ninja something into play for only 7 mana. If you're ninjaing things like Grislebrand or an eldrazi or something, odds are your opponent is doing powerful stuff too, so they can probably remove a 3-drop with no way to protect itself before you untap with it, even if you play a bunch of moxes and poo poo to play him turn 1, and activate him turn 2

So I just wanted to get the thread's thoughts on set boosters vs. draft boosters. Got a set booster box of Crimson Vow for Christmas, got some good stuff, but was disappointed by the sheer duplicates of rares. Probably 60% of the rares I pulled were duplicates of each other, 3 of this, 4 of that. 5 mythics were nice, but I thought the advertisement of set boosters was you had a better chance of getting the whole set vs. drafts. Now I feel like draft boosters might be better for getting more variety. What do ya'll think?

What do ya'll think? it's either natural variance or an error in the printing/packing process, neither of which would be affected by purchasing a different product

Costing 3 seems fine for what it does. It can be extremely high impact the next turn after.

Another, "Leak" No clue if real but again if they are fakes, they put a lot of effort into it. Grain of salt and all that. The red card translation stolen from reddit quote:Translation for the red spell, and a new mechanic: Seems to be the ability from test card, Louvaq, the Aberrant

Is that crumpling an artistic effect? That's an interesting choice. ...or looking at the edge of the card again, maybe it's just that hosed up

Wonder why that's not Keyworded. usually it's 'the mechanic isn't in the set in enough quantities to justify the mental overhead of keywording it' if you're just going to have to include reminder text on an ability you see once or twice in a set, why not just print the text outright, you know?

This way,  can recognise that it's bushido and feel nostalgic for old Kamigawa and everyone else doesn't have to wonder why they bothered keywording a lame-rear end mechanic

Nezumi Prowler fuckin owns, and if that indicates the direction they're going with ninjas in this set I really hope it's real. The Kami War should be an unplayable timmy mythic but something makes me think that I'm gonna be sitting across from at least one opponent in draft who gets the stars to align to make it work and they'll kick my rear end. Bad Blaze is Bad.

HootTheOwl posted:Bushido kicked rear end and keywording it means it it interacts with cards like General Takeno. This is what makes me hope this batch of leaks is fake. Samurai tribal is one of the most frequent things I saw people talk about in a hypothetical return to Kamigawa. After how they handled Tovolar (i.e. having him interact with the new werewolves AND the old werewolves), I don't think they would drop the ball so hard with Samurai.
