Halo is a super secret all powerful weapon against phyrexians. No I won't be explaaining how. Urabrask wants Halo to get back at Elsh Norn because being Red-aligned he's not a fan of phyrexian dogma. (in part because dogma means rules)

VIP boosters of the first Double Masters were similarly priced, they just hosed up the PR by not doing the same thing again, now people are doing math n poo poo and get angry edit okay I actually did the math and these boosters are ten bux more than a VIP

The vip packs were guaranteed two of those super shiny box toppers, whereas I dunno about these regular collector boosters. Unless it's like, 15 rares/mythics per pack straight up, which it definitely won't be, I'm entirely disinterested in these. Current collector boosters which can usually be found for like 15-17 bucks (except kamigawa) are already at the line if not over it, this poo poo is hilariously more of a cash grab than ever before

Yeah unless they're literally just foil rares and mythics or something these are somehow even more of a rip off than the VIP packs. Even then I think there's basically no chance of it being even close to worth as much as they're asking for it.

These CE boosters come to $57 and if current CE distro is go by will have more rares and mythics spread out over the various variants.

Lone Goat posted:Delirium was printed in 2016, two years before Arena was in open beta, and had cards with the same static p/t bonus but counting a different graveyard threshold, so I'm gonna guess it was likely not designed with Arena-only pandemic world in mind. Yeah I guess you're right. It felt a little harder to track (five things with small symbols vs. four things with a greater difference in card frames) but also it was my sixth match of paper Magic in two years so I was disoriented.

If they're going for this much price discrimination between the deluxe card versions and the standard, they should add another, lower tier of boosters that are like two dollars, 0% chance of a foil/alt frame treatment, printed one sided with blank backs (you're just gonna sleeve em anyway right?)

Unfortunately I don't. there's one a bus ride away but it has no event on it's website calendar and last time I went there (years ago) the staff seemed rude. There's a couple of stores with good reputations even further away lol. Edit: I used to play casual with friends in high school and college.

It's telegraphing that it's going to matter, but at prerelease when I added a new mana cost to my graveyard I put the card slightly below the previous cards revealing the name and mana cost prior. That way both players could clearly see if the threshold was reached.

it's unfinity, like infinity as in to infinity and beyond it got delayed due to supply chain issues which sucks since it missed the April 1st launch date, and I imagine they're waiting to find the right spot to slot it in as soon as it all resolves gotta have your supplemental set take a backseat to standard releases

Lord_Magmar posted:They should be 5 Colours, like Slivers, in fact they should literally just be Slivers kinda. Not really. The big difference between them is that slivers can adapt and mutate based on what other slivers are in proximity to them. Tyranids, on the other hand, are bioengineered by the hive mind to fulfill specific tasks, and once they've been spawned, they're locked into whatever configuration they were spawned as. So if I have a pack of little speedy guys with scything talons and a pack of guys with guns that shoot flesh-eating beetles as ammunition, putting them near each other won't make the close-combat ones suddenly sprout guns or make the ranged ones suddenly run faster. That said, I do agree that they would make more sense being five colors instead of three.

Lol what was the breakdown of the Double Masters Vip box? Didn't they also come with full art foil land reprints as well that made up the bulk of the pack? Found it: VIP Edition The VIP Edition acts as a replacement for Collector Boosters for Double Masters. Each pack includes 33 cards plus two foil double-sided tokens. You can view the full contents below: 2 foil showcase rares or mythics 2 foil rares or mythics 8 foil uncommons 9 foil commons 12 full-art basic lands (2 are foil) 2 foil double-sided tokens Jiro fucked around with this message at 21:03 on May 13, 2022 |
