Looting should 100% be unbanned. They could also ban like 2 awful newer cards and Opal would be fine too.

Opal is free mana which will break eventually. Something as benign as the Underworld Cookbook can turn it on, you know!

I went 2-2 tonight and I am able to inform you that modern is: ok.

gently caress blood Moon though. I'm basically playing a mono color deck and was locked out because I drew a cavern, a shock and one fetch (for basic). gently caress it and all of it's supporters. Don't @ me, I'm just going to tell you to piss off.

it and a bunch of other magic stuff was on discount for a lightning deal it seems, but they've all reset to regular price again.

We've had this discussion before: It's low on basics because it's modern and you need to always have access to your splash colors which means using a high amount of shocks and fetches. Which means despite being 90% black deck, it's soft to blood moon.

4 Polluted Delta
4 Bloodstained Mire
2 Blood Crypt
2 Blackcleave Cliffs
2 Cavern of Souls
1 Godless Shrine
3 Swamp

If you need access to your splash colours then you get got by blood moon. Unbanning astrolabe seems like the solution to me imo

Amazon created the sale to test buying behaviors. Probably a few were region locked to different time frames too. They were modified lightning deals with low quantities for sale, then they would just reactivate them now and then. I saw Strixhaven set boxes for $63 and a few different commander decks for $17.

The fun thing is when prices change between looking at your cart and checking out. This happened with both Amazon and a recent tcgplayer direct order. I noticed it with amazon, but didn't notice on tcgplayer until the order arrived. Now I know to double-check at the checkout page.

I stopped using TCGPlayer because of this. I filter for only direct, load up my cart with only direct, it says it'll be one package, then go to check out and suddenly it's 6 packages each with an extra $15-20 shipping.

I basically never head to modern without a playset somewhere in the deck, between maindeck and sideboards :hai:
