I haven't watched it all but 1: the foiling kinda looks like rear end and 2: there is curling but i would say its not too severe.

The surge foiling kind of looks like those old promo cards you'd find in big box stores in a pack with 2 random boosters.

Did not realize they were doing a collector booster for the whole dang edh deck, and lol that on TCGPlayer those are going for $200+.

Wait, they're already over 200? Good lord. I was wanting to pick up one if it was around $100ish, but that's pushing it.

The curling is atrocious, do not even give them an inch of leeway on a product that costs $1.50 per loving card. I considered getting a playset of Swords to Plowshares for Legacy but hell no

I think that is just the MSRP ? (I know they don't have real MSRP) but yeah I think they really want $200ish per foil commander deck.

It's the casual funsies format don't you know

But no, not that funsies

It would be too much work to go through the Un- sets and say officially which cards are cool and which ones would be too much.

I mean, we're talking four whole sets of cards here. It's way too difficult to figure out if Alexander Clamilton or the Surgeon General Commander were broken. It's not like there's a clear line where a card like Frankie Peanuts or Spike, Tournament Grinder are too much, but a commander like Dr. Julius Jumblemorph or Grusilda, Monster Masher works without any rules ambiguity or strangeness...

A mechanic like Augment is far too confusing when compared with straightforward mechanics like Mutate...

God forbid the RC actually do some work and govern the format. Let WotC take over if they can't handle it.

I have no horse in this race but IMHO Commander should allow literally all cards without rules 0 bullshit required as a baseline and shape the format from there. Command Tower, Arcane Signet et al. are already silver border cards for all intents and purposes.

I don't know why but I had it in my head that these edh decks were going to be like $40-$60 each for no foil. Final nail in the coffin for me if it's more than that, I want them but ~$250 was already financially irresponsible of me

I mean there's likely hundreds of two card permanent combos that can deal 5.

Meira's Outrider from DMU and the Rangeland from this set lol. I guess yours beats that though since you can do it in response to the Outrider trigger. In that case, Bogardan Hellkite and Kiki-Jiki

The non-foil ones are though. Or were, anyway.

They're 2 weeks from launch and post spoiler so the prices surged.

First, at Prerelease events held at participating stores, you'll now be able to purchase all product in any quantity during the Prerelease window. Set Boosters? You can get them. Collector Boosters? Kick off that collection early. Draft Boosters, Bundles, Commander decks, and Jumpstart Boosters? Yes, yes, yes, and yes.

Second, we're going to continue a test we started with Streets of New Capenna and have the tabletop Prerelease come before the digital release. That means that November 11 is the first day you can get a chance to play with The Brothers' War, and you can only do so through your local game store. In fact, we're trying this again for the following two sets as well—Phyrexia: All Will Be One and March of the Machines.

Well I feel stupid. I assumed it was a secret lair but I guess it's just a normal product with a normal launch. This poo poo is so confusing. If I can get em at MSRP that'll be nice.

run the cards if both you want to and everyone at the table is fine with it, that's literally rule 0's purpose. i feel like anyone making those complaints have never actually had a conversation about running silver border cards in their playgroup, if they've even had a rule 0 conversation at all

It has cards which literally are not and can not be Magic cards by nature of how the game works. It isn't an "awful take", it's just a fact.
