Pocky In My Pocket posted:I think they're still at the throwing money around to get people to use it stage Yup I have $15 from the Professor's promo code and I should use it sooner rather than later if I'm going to use it at all. Even if I just buy a $10 autographed Swamp from him so I know I'm not getting scammed by some rando, it's worth the story when I put it into an EDH deck. My friend has won a collector booster (not LotR) and other random stuff just from idly having it on his phone and tapping the enter giveaway buttons, but the whole app looks cheap and every streamer looks desperate with their sloppy streaming stations with Sharpie'd signs everywhere.

ShallNoiseUpon posted:does psa do sub grades They do not, and they're also known to be way more lenient on grades. Which is why I said they're probably a Pokemon player who opened it, PSA is the preferred for Pokemon because card quality is low and they give more 10s.

Now the question is, does the singles market shoot up since less product will be opened? Does the sealed market topple without the One Ring to boost it anymore? Both?

Can't even draft collector boosters and all the money cards are also in draft boosters except the 1 or 2 box toppers worth real money (nazgul, delighted halfling, bowmasters, the one ring). They're going to crash so hard, they're basically worthless.

nazgul is an uncommon that is not an uncommon. it is harder to pull than it is to pull a mythic in a rare/mythic slot. in non-foil uncommon showcase slot of the collector booster, you will get about 1 in a box. in the foil slot you can pull a nazgul in about 1 in 4 collector boxes.

Dang, is that community data or straight from WotC? I might pick up a box of set boosters if prices drop to normal, and I was hoping for some nazgul to make a dumb deck.

Doubt there are counterfeits of Nazgul and I don't give a poo poo about the unique arts but I do wanna try out a Frodo deck so I'll probably just end up with some Zendikar blanks Nazguls instead

Isn't it also just a regular uncommon in draft boosters? Like, all the normal no-special-treatment uncommons are also pretty rare when it comes to the odds of getting them in collector boosters. The thing about the nazgul is that they're an uncommon that people actually want, in larger numbers than the usual demand (9 instead of 1 for commander players or 4 for multiformat constructed roleplayers), and people have been going nuts on collector boosters relative to the amount of drafting the set has seen.

Same. You can tell there's at least a decent size group of folks who also use art cards as proxies since those specific staple singles. Still a hearty discount, but in a sea of like 9 cent cards when anything shoots up to dollars it's noticeable. Others seem to go overlooked, like nabbed a set of trilands from Capenna and they were all pennies cheap still.

Even if I just buy a $10 autographed Swamp from him so I know I'm not getting scammed by some rando, it's worth the story when I put it into an EDH deck. This is exactly the way to use Whatnot. They want to get you on with giveaways to tempt you to buy, and then everyone on there overcharges for product and hits you with shipping fees. The vast majority of Whatnot is basically gambling, where you “buy” a random spin of a wheel or a pull from some long box that has one Taiga in it and everything else is like fifty cent cards. However, if you can stand to listen to amateurs stream-selling their poo poo, you can win some freebies by just tapping “Enter” whenever a giveaway pops. I’ve won a couple of free packs and promo cards that way. Just for the love of god don’t buy anything (unless you’ve got the promo credit like Prof is giving out).

It's a 1/2 with deeathtouch that immediately becomes a 2/3 because of its trigger when the ring tempts you, it tempts you on etb and you can have 9 per deck. It's basically the best card for Tempted synergies, and fits into the best Tempted based commander decks (Frodo, Sauron's Bane and Smeagol)

"Mythic uncommons" always seemed like a conspiracy theory to me. Lots of anecdotal stories like "I only got one in my box!", ignoring that they also got only one of some limited-playable uncommons as well. I'd have to see some evidence over a large collection of boxes to prove to me that Wizards brought back the U1, U2, and U3 rarities from Homelands days.

I'd have to see some evidence over a large collection of boxes to prove to me that Wizards brought back the U1, U2, and U3 rarities from Homelands days. The mythic uncommon stuff is a nonsense. However with the Nazgul there are 9 separate arts so each individual art is quite rare if you want one of each.

It's possible that some of the art shows up less frequently than other variants of the Nazghul, but I'm guessing the high price for it is just due to everyone wanting to run them wanting 2-9x the normal amount of copies you would run, and it seems more scarce because... well, see previous point.
