You're realistically capped at about 120 die unless you play outdoors or in a room with high ceilings Add "ladder and tape measure" to your list of "must bring to unhinged'

I'm sure there's an actual optimal X that has the most dice actually hit cards. After a certain point, the extra inch is not worth the die, right?

Just guesstimating, but I think the ideal amount of X, given reasonable mana, is either 3 or 4. Probably 4. Once you start dropping dice from about a half foot or more, they are gonna start bouncing off the table. edit: if the goal is to make one creature really big, I'd probably just do 3. 4 is tempting for wanting to kill multiple creatures.

Get dice made out of the same material those $0.25 sticky hands were made out of.

A guy at the shop started opening Iconic Masters packs until he opened a Mana Drain. He opened 360 packs before it showed up.

So either spend 3600 on packs because Or, 99.99 on mana drain. Okay. Sure.

I doubt he is willing to wait a few months but he could come out well ahead if he sells his singles after the modern and legacy pro tours next year. The EV of iconic masters is pretty decent still and it'll go up, but the kind of person who cracks that many packs for a single prolly trades it all in for store credit anyway.

I played in one and went 2-1, with both me and the other finalist playing GW. I had a ridiculously high percentage of mythics (2 Praetors, Avacyn, and a foil Consecrated Sphinx) in 8 packs that I opened...and a Flusterstorm. He does this with every set. He's a doctor so he has the money. GoutPatrol fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Nov 18, 2017 |

I mean, I'm a lawyer and I can't afford to buy $4000 in Magic product for any reason, unless your'e talking over the course of many years. He still sounds like a gambling addict also I'm not a good lawyer so I still don't have any money

Once you declare you are activating the ability, it's too late for your opponent to do anything until you've finished paying {2} and sacrificing it.

since saccing it is part of the cost by the time you reveal it they can't respond to it, i think
