I'm case anyone was curious, here's the Double Masters 2 CE pack

Features & details

4 Double Masters 2022 MTG Collector Boosters

15 Magic cards + 1 foil token in each booster

6 Borderless cards in every pack—Textured Foil Borderless card in 3% of boosters

1 Foil-Etched + 10–11 Traditional Foil cards in every pack

4 cards of rarity Rare or higher in every pack


Vvv It was 10 full art regular lands, 2 foil full art lands, 8 foil uncommon, 9 foil commons, 2 foil rares or better and 2 foil boxtoppers.
The collector packs seem to have a higher volatility than the VIPs. 4 rares or higher that aren't guaranteed to be foil or borderless or both. You could open 4x regular rares in a $60 booster pack.

Every card in collector packs is foil, showcase or borderless. This will be no different.

what's the deal with the "Marathon Epilogue" set on the schedule


Someone asked this on Mark Rosewater's blog

quote:

Q: For the next Magic year starting from Dominaria United, are there gonna be 4 premier sets as usual? (specifically curious because of "Marathon Epilogue")


Yes, four premier sets as usual.

Here’s what I can say about Marathon Epilogue (and it’s not much):

* it’s a new thing

* there isn’t a current product to compare it to

* it’s tied to Marathon

And there's an announcement stream in August that'll likely go over the 2023 schedule.

Mega late to Mountain goats chat but if you are made of iron or are ever too happy somehow I def recommend the song "No Children" and don't say I didn't warn you.

Also missing the boat on ledger shredder sure was fun! I pulled one from a pack and I'm not looking forward the the bill for the other 3. The dive down had a really excellent segment that boiled down to "how did we miss this" that was really excellent imo

Greasefang is great in explorer, provided that greasefang isn't shy in your deck. There are 4x of her in the deck, and you've got a ton of ways to churn through your deck, but sometimes you just don't see the card in the top 30, while having a parhelion (or two) in the bin waiting smash your opponent.

Deck is still very good, and t3 grease into P-II is usually a done deal.

Well there'S my problem: no Parhelions, only one Greasefang, no wildcards.

My stepdad and I have been working on a card catalog style cabinet for my cards. It's gonna have another level so 32 drawers total be like six cubic feet and should be able to hold 80k or so singles. Exterior will be in cherry and I'm super excited not to keep them unsorted in longboxes and old prerelease boxes in my closet!

These high-G injections have some serious side effects after pulling so many jumps.

That's gonna be so pretty when it's done. Can you show off the drawers too when you get to them?

If vintage card catalogs didn't cost thousands of dollars and weigh a ton, I'd get one for my cards.

Not my cup of tea. The attention to gameplay details was fine, but there was way too much focus on exaggerated banter which made it go way too slowly.

Looking through the cards I impulse purchased during the Pandemic and wondering what kind of deck to build. I got a Greasefang so I could go vehicles. I got Ziatora so maybe Riveteers. Maybe Samurai or Ninja.

I also got Tamiyo Compleated, not sure what to do with that one. Oh, and the Kami War.

Strategic Planning was also from PTK initially before it showed up in HOU, the first case of a deep cut like that I can remember.

Stalking Tiger is also from something called welcome deck 2017, which is like double deep.

Ok, here's what I'm gonna do: a janky casual 5-Color Spirit deck. I got Kami War, I got a bunch of spirits, I also have an old Spirit/Arcane deck from way back when that a friend from college upgraded a few years ago. 4 Thief of Hope, let's go.

Love her. Been thinking of unmaking the Precon Vehicle Commander deck to remake it as a Greasefang Commander deck.
