report the post if you think it violates some rules otherwise stop trying to shame people over a dumb video. i think most of the professor's content is repetitive and dumb and i find his intro music annoying but i just ignore the post if i see its his video and its about a thing i don't care for?

"Rudy says duals are tanking" is good news and I don't care who discovered it.

the video is about the price of buylists dropping for dual lands. the implication is only that people are dumping their revised dual lands on the cheap. it doesn't mean the average joe is going to be buying revised duals for 50% less in the past 30 days. i mean they have dropped from their peaks but unless the stores are selling most people aren't going to see the change.

i'd buy more but no one on tcgplayer ever bothers w/ a picture for a card >$100. that seems pretty crazy to me.

You might be a mod elsewhere, but not here, so maybe lay off the backseat modding, especially when you're wrong and flying in the face of the majority of posters. People get to have opinions and nobody attacked OP or was mean to them, they objected to the content of the link, and the way it was posted, which are valid criticisms and valid ways to post in the thread.

I don't like SaffronOlive, but I don't respond when people post him, because he's not harmful to the community.

Rudy is a scammer and profiting off rubes. He's bad for the game, the community, and his viewers. That deserves a response, especially when it's just a rando link posted with no comment/context.

yeah they've gone down. his video title is "REVISED DUAL LANDS CRASH 50% IN 30 DAYS". but just taking a look at the price for underground sea the past 30 days on TCGPlayer NM cards go for around $750, LP goes for $600ish

if nudging people to report posts instead of continuing with this dumb derail counts as backseat modding then i'll take the probe. considering the entire derail is entirely about people trying to backseat mod this thread and pressuring people into going along with it. if you don't like rudy and think his videos should be banned then message a tg mod about it. otherwise just ignore the one video?

i'll stop posting about it now but again if you're that upset about rudy (or saffronolive) being in here you can PM leperflesh.

honestly if the OP had done that, it probably would have just avoided the whole derail.

The equipment clatters to the ground as the magic animating the thing ceases, and there's some drama but nothing else.

A couple of channels have started cracking boxes and even though it's a small sample size there's a few patterns emerging;

Collector's Boxes all seem to have 9 to 11 unique transformers. The duplicates are all foil/shattered glass variants.

It's possible Wizards collated the printing to drive down the chances of getting both sides of the meld cards in a single box. Even in the collector's boxes.

I watched Askrias open 6 boxes(at 2x speed) and he got two mightstone/weakstone halves, a titania half, and a mishra half. that's it, no complete melds. total bullshit

and yeah, the transformers are 1 per collector pack, with the possibility of foil versions, not sure if the shattered glass ones can be foil too. the shattered glass ones look amazing though, aside from, you know, being shattered glass versions. wish they'd put that amount of effort into the regular ones.

Ready to Poyozo Dance all over your face.
According to the article about what comes in each type of booster:

quote:

Transformers Shattered Glass cards are only found in The Brothers' War Collector Boosters—roughly 12% of Collector Boosters contain one. While non-foil Shattered Glass Transformers cards are printed in all languages Collector Boosters are available in, foil Shattered Glass Transformers cards are printed in English and they appear in Collector Boosters of any language. Foil Shattered Glass Transformers are tough to open—you're about as likely to open a foil Shattered Glass Transformer as you were a neon ink Hidetsugu (of any color) in Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty.

To hell with the melds, I want some of those blueprint artifacts with the old border. What's the drop rate on those?

from a product design perspective, it's probably a smarter way to accomplish what the neon ink printing was designed to do. making two parallel cosmetic upgrades which intersect at a vanishingly low rate is much less prescriptive than "here's a distinct unique printing of a single card that's kind of it's own thing and doesn't intersect with any other printing styles, and there's only 50 of them, go nuts folks"

from a consumer perspective, honestly at this point I can't even muster an ironic lol
