Balon posted:I was at an FNM last night (TNM?) and Rakdos Aggro folds HARD to RG Monsters, Mono U with a Frostburn out, and Mono Black. Poor guy got matched up against each one in all 4 rounds and just suffered all night long. The only game he won was against Mono U when they didn't find a Frostburn.

Stinky Pit posted:Rich gets a ton of hate from a lot of the Magic community for acting like he doesn't know things. He's not the strongest at commentating on play, but his enthusiasm is excellent he does a great job turning a tournament into a more human story, its pretty positive. He's one of the few MTG (or eSports) broadcasters that understand broadcasting.

What a Judas posted:This is a hugely faulty argument. SCG is probably the largest retailer and most likely to take a massive hit from high profile reprints; they support abolishing the reserve list. Yea stores make money on singles by buying at buy price and reselling quickly and/or by volume.

Lightning Storm or Conflagrate are the usual kills. Each have the same mana cost but I'm not sure the pros/cons of each.

Star Man posted:I've thought about making big titted anime land alters for a quick buck when I'm in a bind but I have too much self-respect. Though I have thought about getting into making playmats. I love the one I did for myself with the album cover of Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast. Now all I want is a "The Trooper" playmat and I don't even use playmats.

jassi007 posted:haha. Oh my. Everytime this happens I have this temptation to sell out of magic, I swear in 2014 my collection value is probably up like 20% or something. Before Modern became a thing I bought a ton of the playable cards for 1-2 bux. It is very tempting now that the binder full of $1-5 cards is now a binder of $5-40 cards.

Scion3872 posted:So this weekend I was helping my girlfriend's uncle clean out some junk from his house and we found a box full of magic cards. I doubt there's anything super valuable in it but where is a good place to try find out if there is anything worthwhile in it? http://mtg.dawnglare.com/ The tools here highlight the cards worth looking for. The price visualizer is a good tool as well. It takes a working knowledge of set symbols though.

MiddleEastBeast posted:I agree, cube is the safe happy place for me to play decks I never would otherwise. Saw a P1P1 Sulfuric Vortex tonight and got to go all-in on mono red and pulled it off. Most broken play was playing Siege-Gang Commander with Ogre Battledriver out for 13 hasty damage for 5 mana. Or burning a guy out from 7 life with Hellrider attack triggers + kicked Burst Lightning before his turn 5 Griselbrand had a chance to block and dig him out. Cube!! The second guy was me

They do it as 2HG at SCG events sometimes. Might be fun. Something in the trade thread made me think to finally ask this. Who has the best rates on bulk commons/uncommons? I have a stack of 4 and 5 column boxes that's literally taller than I am full of stuff back to Revised that I need to get rid of. No Lotus Petals, though.

I don't think they had any concept of how powerful drawing cards was. There was a story of a group trying to decide what was better: weenies, medium creatures or fatties. Turns out it was just whatever deck drew more ancestral recalls ( a four of).

Haven't played up there much but the store is clean, their selection is great (packs back to... Kamigawa, I think?) and the people I have talked to have been cool. That looks likes a solid event schedule.

I'm digging through some old boxes today. I decided to dig out my boxes of unsorted foreign cards (Urza's block and earlier: all languages) and found a few gems. The highlights were a German tip card for a Portal precon, a Chinese rules card (all characters, no art) and a German Storm Crow (!) I wonder what else I've overlooked.
