I prefer this too, but at least they’re committing to printing in MTG universe versions of all the new secret lair guys now.

This, yeah. I had originally put in an order for the Stranger Things lair but after I heard it'd get MTG universe equivalents I canceled the order.

I then picked up the entire lair's worth of cards in their MTG form for like, less than 5 bucks. :v

So checking TCGPlayer and mtggoldfish looks like the prices of the cards in Dbl Masters 22 is starting to dip down. I'm wondering by the end of the weekend how much stuff will go down to.

If the mtggoldfish layouts of cards and their prices is anything to go by, the etched foils look like they are valued way more than a lot of the borderless art/borderless foil counterparts.

Collector Booster Box prices have gone down slightly on Amazon, still under 300, Draft Booster boxes have even dipped in price.

We've had three new praetor cards since Kaldheim, the only ones not done so far are Sheoldred and Elesh Norn. It's possible we'll see those soon and it'll tie into a New New Phyrexia set?

Dominaria United and Brothers War could both have phyrexians in them, and I don't think we know the sets after those two

Yeah I would assume the "United" part is "against the Phyrexians," especially if Brother's War is right after it.

Brothers war is supposed to be the first in the new "based on an event" model, and while the current theory is abou t time travel, the original brothers war was between urza and Mishra the culminates in a phyrexian demon.

If Brothers War is some time travel fuckery to go change how the brothers war went all they really need to do is hook that poo poo up to like Ikoria and the much more powerful creatures will go gently caress up the phyrexians on their own tbh.

Is drafting on MTGO still always a timed event? As in you play in your 8-player pod and have to wait for matches to finish and play the next player? You can't quit and then log in the next day and play someone else who drafted the same set like in Arena? I logged in for the first time in years and saw I had enough play points for a free draft, but if it's a 4 hour commitment I don't know when I'd find time for it.

I thought MTGO was always cross-pod drafting, and that you'd rarely, if ever, play against someone in your pod.

That's what you get for not hailing to the chimp!



They work the same as premier drafts on Arena. You need to do the drafting all at once and then you can play matches at your leisure.

It‘s a little more than that. Mishra and Ashnod are the ones who helped opened the portal to Phyrexia on Dominaria in the Caves of Koilos, which allowed Gix to come through and start to converting people into Phyrexian acolytes.
It culminates in Urza destroying a small wave of Phyrexians, igniting his spark, and starting the Ice Age.

Most people play the draft leagues, which have cross draft play. That means you don't have to block out the whole chunk and can play the games one at a time.

I find these videos a bit silly, cause... no duh buying packs at retail and opening them loses you money? If it didn't, the sellers would just open the packs themselves!

New Capenna would have been much more interesting if angels were around and running some of the crime families. I agree the the art deco stuff was a great change visually, but otherwise the set felt very paint-by-numbers to me.
