This is the most aggro thread I follow on sa, so "be nice" is still worth repeating! A friend opened a jumpstart pack with rhystic study, he didn't need or want the rest of the pack after he played with it so he gave me the other 19 cards since I was missing that theme for my battlebox. What's a good (under $5) card that can fill a similar niche for jumpstart? Doesn't need to be amazing just something that makes sense. The alternative is to proxy Rhystic, but I am holding off on getting proxies until I know what I need in bulk. (No sharpie because I am a boi of aesthetics)

I'm such a bad MTG lover no worries. here's the scryfall query i used if you want to look at some other options https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=color%3DU+o%3Adraw+o%3Aa+o%3Acard+t%3A%22enchantment%22&unique=cards nothing does what rhystic study does except rhystic study (which is why it's so valuable) and mystic remora (on the reserve list), but the ones I posted are at least blue enchantments with repeatable card draw and no major hoops to jump through. i don't know the jumpstart packs well enough to be sure, but that'd be pretty close I think.

Do you have further criteria for what you want the card to do? Mind's Eye is a little out of budget ($7 ish?) but the price might come down a bit since it's in the BRO retro slot.

Lone Goat posted:Silver Scrutiny is a bulk rare from DMU that draws cards. Do you have further criteria for what you want the card to do? Just a card draw enchantment of some kind. Looking at the 4 suggested earlier, three of them synergize well with the theme's goals of card draw and evasion. I will probably pick Teferi's Ageless Insight since it has great synergy with all the card draw and is also M21 like the rest of the jumpstart cards. Thanks all of you for also teaching me what to look for in situations like this.

Much like the professor, his youtbue feeds his patreon. Rudy's revenue stream is people staying subbed to patreon, him selling those subs sealed stuff at a profit, the small amount of youtube money, and also people selling him old cards at a content creator discount. Yeah, this was always my read on him. I think having a sub service where you sell cards, as advertised is by definition not a scam. flatluigi posted:can't imagine why saying stuff like that would make people not want to listen to him Huge difference between not wanting to listen to him and accusing him of fraud

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:Billy Corgan is just rocking out to his jams. Was about to say Danzig, haha. Ya, I remember when I got my first few magic cards back in '96/97, some kid at my lunch table was going through his deck and ripped a card in 1/2. I asked why, he said it was too marked up and couldn't use it, so I asked for any he was going to get rid of and he said ok as long as I promise not to use them (want to say Unholy Strength was one of them even, I remember seeing the ones with pentagrams being sold different than the commons and going home to check if mine had one). I remember my mom being like "that's not one of those weird occult things" when she saw me looking at them and I told her about the game and the other Vampire card game he had told me about, but she wasn't coming from a religious angle, more so a "don't be a weirdo" angle, haha. Anyway, I sold all of my cards back in the mid-2000's (played from '97 - '03/04). Getting back into it, playing on Arena a bit. I purchased the latest starter deck kit and even an old sealed copy of the Portal starter kit for nostalgia (which was my first purchase and how I learned to play). So I can use those to try to teach my kids as they get older. What would you all recommend as a good way to jump back in? Someone on reddit suggested a jumpstart box, which is what new (to me) game style intrigued me most since maybe I can teach my soon to be 8yr old by us selecting 2 random packs every few weekends. I had been looking at the one for Brothers War, but the redditor mentioned the 2022 one coming out in December. I saw the one for Dominara United is cheaper on Amazon but got bad reviews for being the same 5 themes repeated, is that something that would affect the Brothers War jumpstart box as well? Should I just go for the 2022? Or just do something else entirely? Been thinking about just buying a bulk, yet curated, box and maybe get some nostalgia hits. But would like to get some newer stuff too. I really liked getting theme decks back in the day and building off of those, like my red/green Urza's Saga Special Delivery that I built off of. So I looked at the Gruul Stompy Pioneer and Standard decks, but not sure if that is pointless unless I plan to actually play at local events. Commander decks are totally new to me as well. Sorry for dragging on and if this is a too common question (didn't see anything in the past few pages). What would you suggest? edit: also, is it common to put all cards in sleeves that you play with or just for people that play at events/tournaments. The videos I have seen on youtube makes it seem cringe/scary that people used to play without back in the day. FireMrshlBill fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Nov 8, 2022 |

It was very bad as a game, but so exciting to a teenage me. Star Wars CCG on the other hand was excellent, and it's a real shame Wizards bought the license out from under Decipher and made their Young Jedi crap

For context, starting with dominaria united, every standard set is going to get its own jumpstart packs based on that set, but they're basically just theme packs (which is an earlier product they're essentially replacing). This set-based jumpstart product is distinct from Jumpstart 2022, which is its own separate product using the jumpstart game type, that isn't based on a particular standard set. So when dominaria United releases, we'll get dominaria United jump start, and we will also get jump start 2022 later on. People ragged on the set-based jumpstart packs because they're basically just reskinned theme packs, which pretty much had no thought put into them from a design standpoint. But it's probably a decent product if you're looking to play some games with your kids, since all you need to make a deck is two JS packs. Jumpstart 2022 on the other hand is an actual product where all the packs are designed to work together. It might be a better play experience but you have to wait longer If you're looking to get into actual formats, the most popular one is Commander as you mentioned. It's a 4+ player format where players use 99-card singleton decks (1 copy max of each card that isn't basic) with a 100th card you always have access to, a legendary creature which acts as your deck's "Commander." There are also normal 60 card constructed formats like modern and pioneer. I wouldn't buy cards to build paper decks for any of them until you get a feel for the game and you find a deck or archetype that really grabs you. Arena is nice because you get to try out cards from current/recent standards without any monetary investment necessary It's widely accepted to play paper magic with sleeves, yes. Playing sleeveless causes your cards to accumulate wear and tear very quickly, which makes it more difficult to play with them in the future and also reduces their resale value. It also protects the cards from other players and their Cheeto-dusted, mountain-dewed fingers when they need to pick up and read one of your cards. You can do whatever you want with your cards of course, but you might get funny looks from across the table at your local game store if you don't use sleeves. kalel fucked around with this message at 13:45 on Nov 8, 2022 |

The new jumpstart packs would probably be good when it's like 10 sets in and you can do chaos-jumpstart events where everyone has random stuff from different sets. Kind of needs to hit that critical mass to work though, so they probably should have waited to flip the theme boosters over to jumpstart ones until after the full JS22 set comes out, or done retroactive ones for the last five sets.

Yeah, I remember from back when someone posted the Tolarian Community College review of the DMU Jumpstart here, my initial impression of the product based on the review was that it was most likely intended to be combined with other Jumpstart packs from upcoming sets instead of a stand alone product.

The banning of crusade was always confusing to me cause I thought there was an understanding that white represented not simply "virtuous" traits but also the naughty business people can get up to in the name of those same traits. I guess the way that crusade functions as a card though doesn't really do much to highlight that specific hypocrisy though. Maybe a reprint with some manner of "are we the baddies?" flavor text wouldve done the trick.
