Huxley posted:Is just, nobody opening the sets on MODO so all the commons cost $10 each? for stuff like commander legends they stopped releasing the full sets on modo awhile back and now only add it to the pool of what can be pulled out of random "treasure chests." so you can't buy packs of these supplementary sets at all and just have to hope you get real lucky or someone else does and you can buy it off them.

Commander Legends was on modo, draftable The fact that this isn't is just ludicrous

Day9's back with What The Deck, and there's some fun as hell decks in here(besides the first one where he manages to draw 3 lands and then 5 4-mana cards) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1P9QAeJlUw&hd=1 my favorite deck is probably the Orvar the All-Form deck whose win condition is entirely centered around cloning Dwarven Mines to spawn Like A Billion dwarf tokens

If you like drafting online and are willing to brave the MTGO interface you can theoretically do it much cheaper on MTGO because the prize support is more generous and you can sell the proceeds at a nice clip because so few people draft and open the set these days Does not apply to sets with basically zero relevant constructed cards like AFR

They're doing flashbacks of a bunch of formats and AFR starts today, so that should bring the price down a bit. I do agree that MTGO is cheaper to draft in the long run than MTGA but there's an upfront cost and more variance involved. To maximize EV the best thing to do is to wait for the start of Dominaria United.

I'm going to be looking into picking up singles from 2X2 since prices are already going back up. What would generally be better to go for, borderless nonfoil or foil standard frame? They tend to both be in the same general price range. For reference, what I'm looking to pick up at the moment is: Imperial Seal Allosaurus Shepherd Force of Negation Phyrexian Altar Concordant Crossroads Food Chain Consecrated Sphinx And maybe: Aurelia, the Warleader Monastery Mentor Weathered Wayfarer Dockside Extortionist Crucible of Worlds

foil always has the danger of pringles, I personally only go for Normal, Borderless Normal, or Etched Foil

HootTheOwl posted:I bought one (1) 2X2 pack and am pleased to report that the foils? My experience is that the US printed foils curve much more than Belgian or Japanese printed ones and all of 2x2 has been printed in Japan. It was the same for ultimate masters. I know this because the cards I receive in the UK from set or draft boxes are Belgian but fat packs and I think collector boosters are US.

They tend to both be in the same general price range. Are you asking in a monetary sense of “which of these will most increase in value?” or just generally? For me I’d go for whatever art you tend to like the most. In this way my preference has been for the borderless cards, since so many of them are so dang pretty.

TotalHell posted:Are you asking in a monetary sense of “which of these will most increase in value?” or just generally? That's kind of where I'm leaning at this point. Force of Negation is rough because there's not much difference between the price of a borderless nonfoil and an etched foil. Leaning borderless because yeah, a lot of the borderless cards are just that pretty.

A few months back we were talking about a Western Homelands update, ala Kamigawa Well, there might be a Wild West themed secret lair coming up soon.. Unconfirmed leak, of course, but neat alternate frames in any case

I'm on board. I really like the way that first alt art looks. Clash altered a bit to be more fun and renamed to make it more theme appropriate seems like a great mechanic for a wild west set imo.

I remember it was gds 2 I think. I'm in wizards' consumer insight firm's database so I get surveys for prospective sets and prospective characters just like that one. So I will say concepts like that with potential frame designs are real but very often won't turn in to actual showcase treatments.

That playing card frame is sick, be a shame if we never get that somehow. I would hope that they get rid of the "no guns" rule because the various sci-fi blasters or "handheld magic projectile weapon that isn't really a gun because magic" stuff are getting a bit silly.

I mean you could definitely do a magical wild west set without guns. you might have to workshop what the gun replacement would be (wands? crossbows? finger guns?) but it's not unfathomable extra points if they put it on ixalan

Out of town for professional development workshops and I decide to visit the local game stores. One had about ten middling 2X2 cards in the counter case and the other didn't have 2X2 singles for sale at all. For the previous sets, there were at least a dozen good cards under glass on release day, both store pulls and trade-ins. This is my first premium set release since coming back to play regularly (unless you count Double Feature but lol), is this usually a thing that happens? EDIT: I should point out that neither store opened a ton of product, despite each having 3+ draft boxes in view. At what point does it become more profitable to hold on to a high-end box than crack it? It's only a week out from release. I brought my Drake fucked around with this message at 13:09 on Jul 15, 2022 |
