Re: FTV: Annihilation This one's going to be as boring as FTV: Legends was, isn't it? EDIT: I guess they'll reprint Damnation and pretend that will satisfy the demand for reprints

Force of Will might as well be written off as a part of the paper reserved list along with its friends like Wasteland. It's also why I'm not rebuying into Legacy after letting go of my stack because this poo poo has gotten out of control. Can't even afford to fall back into Modern.

jassi007 posted:They'll reprint it someday, either a judge foil or part of FTV, or if for some reason they're desperate to move some product. poo poo, they put a number of Thragtusks into one deck of every event deck series for a year and it still didn't do a loving thing to its price. The only way it will be good enough is to do it in a controlled mass like Modern Masters, but bigger. I get why Force of Will and its cousins won't see the light of day in a Standard-legal set and have no problem with it. This poo poo with Legacy single prices is just loving bullshit. It feels good to sell a playset of Wastelands three years later for more than double what I got them for, but replacing the components of the Legacy decks I let go of is going to cost as much as a semester of school and Modern is creeping behind it. I entered Magic with the experience of two other TCGs behind me and knew that it was going to be a money sink and that power cards carry a price. It was easier in 2009, but not now. But I'm over dropping $400 for a playset of lands and can't keep up anymore.

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:And thus the argument for Force at uncommon: gently caress single prices! When "land that gets other land" costs over twice as much as "the biggest creature who literally bends time and is immune to being murdered" something's terribly loving wrong. Because even if that dragon breathed naked women for all the men in the land to enjoy, the card would still be an unplayable eight-drop. The hill with trees gets you the deserted island that lets you cast the undercosted fatass that gets stronger just because you sacrificed the hill with trees.

You know what you can do with a written list of cards that you can't with a photo? You can cross the cards off the list as they are played and don't have to remember what's still there.

When I took Elves to a local Modern event, I had no delusions that it was like its cousin in Legacy and just treated it as an aggro deck. Though it did have the ability to cast a big rear end Banefire or Emrakul is the chance came, but I was more concentrated on attacking. What sucks was that there was someone that day playing a crappy mill deck and I was hoping so bad to play against them when I had maindeck Emrakul.

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. EDIT: Here it is. I didn't get much further than this with it and ended up having Steve Argyle and Dan Baker draw on the sides I never got to.

C-Euro posted:Actually, there's a dude at my LGS with a Thassa EDH deck where he runs all Snow-Covered Islands for basics, and I always forget to ask him why that's the case. Any ideas? Most people do it for the sake of being able to. I bought a bunch of Coldsnap snow-covered basic lands to play with them in the formats they were allowed in. Even had to point out to someone that they don't get the damage bonus from Molten Rain because they assumed that snow-covered basic lands were non-basic. There's also a practical reason to use snow-covered lands, and that's to counteract the downside to Extraplanar Lens If you're the only one in the group with Snow-Covered Islands, only you are going to get the benefit of extra mana if you use one to imprint on the lens.

Fuzzy Mammal posted:Do you ever fantasize about being not a grade-schooler with means in 1996 and getting moxes and dual lands super cheap before people know what rares were good, or even before magic was going to be a thing? The time to buy into Modern was during that year between Extended getting cut down from seven years to four years and when Modern was announced. So if you got those staple cards that were no longer good for Extended but still good for Legacy, then you were okay. That was when I got my Tarmogoyfs and many other things.

qbert posted:As someone who just got back into Magic in the last few months, I'm curious: how much were shock lands before the reprint? I think they were $15-20. The original editions still have a higher value than the reprints, but did come down a bit. And that's the level of reprint you need to really get things back under control.

Boxn posted:Remand wasn't from Return to Ravnica, it was from Ravnica, which is quite a while ago. I agree it sucks though, I need 2 more Arid Mesa's and Marsh Falts, and it's $160ish which is too much for 4 cards. When I started playing Legacy in 2009, Urza's Saga was ten-years-old. In October of next year, Ravnica: City of Guilds is going to be ten-years-old.

You do get $100 month credit towards msrp (actual msrp aka $143/box) sealed product though. Now that's a perk! They don't even get enough for a full box? I mean, only having to pay $34 for a box is pretty sweet and all, but that's it?

I played in a Swiss Vintage Masters draft last night just because. I went 2-1. My first round opponent dropped after I won the first game. He or she played a Mox Ruby. My third round opponent played three copies of Paralyze on my Owl Familiar that had an attached Elephant Guide. I won the game ( and match) because I read the card.
