The Best-ever Death Metal Band Out of Denton is literally the only Mountain Goats song I ever remember. Mostly because I know people that live/d in Denton.

Lol, Amazon hosed up all the preorders of LotR commander decks and only sent one random deck to the people who ordered the bundle of 4.

John Darnielle seems like a genuinely kind person, and I'm bummed his secret lair is ten basic lands. It should have been his head crudely taped over the goat on Mountain Goat

I do wonder if as a fan he figured he'd try and get em to do more lands than usual by saying he needed 10 cards for his deal. Jordan Peele likes MtG I think, wonder if he's famous enough for a playable spread of multiples of all 6 basic land types.

That golf course plains from that one secret lair turned out to also be a sacred foundry, so I'll be disappointed if one of these isn't a hidden dual.

I bought a couple of each of the LOTR commander decks when they first went up on Amazon. I was pretty early. I bought 2 of each. They just sent me a notice saying one of the sets was "delayed". Of course it's the Sauron one. At least I got some of mine.. or got most of them. People who bought the LOTR Commander Bundle... apparently the workers at Amazon took the box, opened it up, picked one and sent just 1 deck. Not only that, they sent it in one of those cheap bubble mailers so their decks got mashed. My decks were kinda messed up too. The bundle is sitting at 1 star on the site https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Gathering-Lord-Rings-Middle-Earth/dp/B0BVTJGJF5/

I preordered it on Amazon, and it was delayed for a long time until it just straight up said it was lost. I had to deal with customer service for nearly an hour to get a refund, and it wasn't enough to be able to buy the same precon at its then jacked up price. Since it wasn't being shipped through Amazon, they couldn't/wouldn't just send me a replacement for the one that was "lost", I'd have had to buy it at the spiked price. Never did, just bought singles I wanted from it instead.

They did that poo poo to me when the local 'zon they did a sale on bundle of all the New Cappena decks, I got the Maestro one in a little bag. I immediately contacted support, got a refund like 10 minutes after it was delivered and ended up getting that one deck for free

LifeLynx posted:I really like their song Lovecraft in Brooklyn, but I'm not a huge fan of the rest of their catalog. I remember being very confused when they announced a fantasy-themed album with D&D songs and there was a song about former MLB player Doc Gooden on it, and they reasoned that into being a fantasy story because of the magic of baseball or some other weird logic. But that's indie rock I guess. im a huge tmg fan and in league with dragons is like, actively their worst album

Captain Invictus posted:guessing you opened a dispute right? especially if that "includes all four decks" was there before. they said they're delayed. but can they even print more of these if there's a collector sampler pack? their whole no reprint thing is only with "collector boosters"...

Collector Samplers can't contain serialised cards, the reason that collector boosters are explicitly getting a rebrand for the reprints is because the serialised cards can't be in them either.

I would think 20-25 bucks. orcish bowmaster helps things out. No shot this is banned anytime soon.

Is there no potential meta to just shift around the existence of a new card over time or do modern players in general not really want to see new things?

Khanstant posted:Is there no potential meta to just shift around the existence of a new card over time or do modern players in general not really want to see new things? Jamming four into effectively every deck and making all of them better is more than an evolving metagame thing. That's a warped metagame, where every deck either plays it or has to have a main deck answer. Or both. Like, there are certainly other artifacts that can be problematic *in or for certain decks*, but TOR goes in any deck, and the only downside is its cost. I doubt it will be banned as it's the poster card for a non-standard set, but I can absolutely understand why people are grumpy.

Are there even any good answers to it? Like, just racing (which requires you to have a "damage can't be prevented" card to avoid taking a turn off, oh but you can't even target them with a Skullcrack or Stomp to make that happen) is about the only way, right? Even if you exile it immediately they still got a card out of it. If you let them untap twice they've drawn six cards and that's an all-but-impossible hole to dig yourself out of.

I just play Commander, so I only need one copy anyways.

I gotcha, and that doesn't sound very interesting unless the cuts they made were actually shifting the meta around instead of just making way for a playset of a generically good card. Lol that they avoided adding a downside to the ring because people supposedly won't play cards with risky downsides, despite in this case naturally expecting one. It could've made the card an interesting option to play with and against.

We are in the one ring and orchish bowmaster era of article peddling, twitch stream view chasing, and generic magic influencer clout farming meta. While both cards seem good and fun, its a bit overblown.
