And everyone loves Wonder when you have it and hates Wonder when the enemy has it.

I am assuming as supply goes down (everyone opening boxes right now) that the price may go up a bit. I am hoping NOT as I want a playset for my W/R Murder deck...

If I get a Brimaz in my box (crossing fingers) do I sell it now and buy what I need later when the price drops? I'm assuming it is going to go down in price but do you think it will hit sub $15 within the month?

Opened the first 9 packs of my booster box and my pulls were (in no particular order): Phenax Flame-Wreathed Phoenix Temple of Malice Gild Fated Intervention Silent Sentinal Arbiter of the Ideal Forgestoker Dragon Fated Infatuation Not bad. I am 25% of the way in to the box and will open more when I get home. The only thing I REALLY wanted in that group was the Phenax...the rest will more than likely be trade fodder.

Dehtraen posted:Sweet. I stopped by shop to check out what they were pricing some of the Born of the Gods cards at. Grabbed 4 packs for kicks and pulled Arbiter of the Ideal, Champion of Stray Souls, Eidolon of Countless Battles, and Mogis God of the Slaughter. Also had 2 Bile Blights which I asked the shop owner how much they were selling for and he replied $1 a pop. Sheesh... I'm gonna end up breaking the rest of em open here within the hour. I will post the rest of the rares/mythics I get after. Hopefully I get a few more mythics to make this box worth it. I know I have 1 or 2 Bile Blights sitting at home in the packs I've opened. I opened 4 archtypes so far...2 green, a red and a black. I am hoping that I open 1 or 2 of the blue archtype to use.

Kilazar posted:I guess I just don't get the whole metaand only playing "top 10"s. Or looking up decks online to play locally. I just play out of my collection and what I can trade. I did make a purchase for pack rats, but that was for my wife and a crazy rat deck I want to make. She's getting two and I'm getting two. And we have had no luck in cracking any open. That is largely true, but the internet has helped some in the availability, access and cost of cards as well. Prior to such a strong presence online getting cards was more difficult so if there was only 1 of said card in 10 miles of you it would be justified to sell that card at a much larger mark up. Today you can go to TCGPlayer and have upwards of 20 stores nationwide competing for your business on ONE card. Its nuts. Although I do share your feelings on using "top 10 decks". When I show up to a tournament and see the same 3 decks over and over and over again being played by teenagers it is rather aggrevating. Did I come up with the Murderhorse concept? Nope. Have I changed and played and experimented with a couple guys here to make my own variation to the local meta? Yep. Most people I play have a solid deck that doesn't change as they figure that is what wins...its even more hilarioius when it doesn't.

Kilazar posted:I can believe this. Just brewing through my collection and putting together a deck out of my stuff last month I came drat close to the Top 10 black devotion. I only found out when my friend asked me if I netdecked it. So I looked it up and I was running slightly different monsters. But other than that my deck looked very similar in style. I was rocking my single desecration demon, 4 gary's, 2 erobos gods, the whip and my lonely NVS. As similar cards with similar goals. The rest of the deck added some win conditions outside of devotion gary bombs and my new one cost mvp the Shadow Alley Denizen. I would like to think that had I some pack rats eventually I would have pushed my deck closer to a top performer naturally. Mostly because this is not rocket science. As someone in this thread or the deck building thread said to me a week or 2 ago. There are only so many combos and cards that can go into a deck. By now someone somewhere has made or will make the deck you are using. At this point in the game you either keep what you have and play for fun, OR you buy the tweak cards to put in your deck to push you into competitive gaming.

jassi007 posted:I understand what you mean. If you care about your playgroup you'll play to their level even if you are also building stuff beyond the kitchen table. Build that dumb GW voracious wurm lifegain deck and your casual friend will be more impressed by your 15/15 wurm than by your t3 modern stormdeck combo killing machine. Nothing demonstrates this point more than playing a Nekusar EDH deck with friends...we had a 5 man game going and I got a perfect storm of playing Bloodchief Ascension turn 1, Liliana's Caress turn 2 and on turn 4 I had the counters on Ascension to play Wheel and Deal. The hate that turned my way IMMEDIATELY following that play was actually hilarious. Nothing grabs attention like doing roughly 20 damage to every player AND gaining over 30 health with 1 card on turn 4. Going forward I think I will play my Prossh deck that will hopefully get less hate from the guys that didn't put the time and money into their EDH decks like I have...

He knew drat well what it was, and it's not like he said out-loud, "I'm gonna dig for a D-sphere because I want to keep practicing". If thats the case why be secret about it?

bhsman posted:Personally, a pack apiece of M14 + Theros + BotG sounds like a good mix to add to a Premade deck. You can probably get away with using the Forgestoker Dragon as a viable "dragon". It isn't "great", but getting the foils people trade in after buying the intro decks should be as cheap as $3-4 each. Heck you can PROBABLY start out by just buying an intro deck to start into Standard, and build from that. You pick a color you like, play with the intro deck, replace/upgrade a few things, and before you know it you have a haflway decent deck. As far as a budget goes the intro decks are like $15 and the few upgrades you make to start playing and making sure you enjoy this would probably run you $25-30. If that goes well and you want to dump more into the hobby then you can buy some of the more "money" cards to really strengthen the deck.

There are a number of cheap but effective decks (like Restore Balance) or variants of decks (like Living End) in Modern.
Another cheap option the goons and I have been working on for a few months now is MURDERGOATS.dec (you'll notice my avatar, as of this post, references to it and actually links to my TappedOut page for the deck; another piece of advice: use TappedOut), where even the most 'expensive' version of the deck can be assembled for less than $100, which is a steal compared to the Planeswalker-laden control decks it tends to tear apart.

Samael posted:How is MURDERGOATS in this new standard format now that drown in sorrow and midrange decks are going to be much more common? I am really worried about Xenagos and the ability to give trample to all the fatties to rush past all the 1/1 chumpers. Has anyone thought of using the 1RR red archetype as a sideboard option against GR? It could be used to avoid all the trample damage, provide devotion for purphoros and help him trample through potential blockers. I think bhsman said he went 3-2 and I went 4-1 last week. My only loss was against a full red aggro deck. Things just happened too fast for me to shut them down, but the few little changes he made from last week to this week are what I will change as well...add another Mizzium Mortar and have a couple Drown in Sorrow available. In the early game when Red drops those 2/2 creatures that you can clear 2-3 before you start pumping out tokens it is really nice to have a Drown in Sorrow to level the field a bit and kill their ramp Burning Trees.

ManiacMatt posted:As another possible way to take advantage of tokens, what are the thoughts on Sanguine Bond and Bubbling Cauldron. I just don't know what you would drop with it. But once they're on board, it's an 8 point life swing every token you sac. It's also late getting online. But just throwing that out there. You could probably drop the Cauldron and use Trading Post which is already in the deck to achieve a similar effect.

ScarletBrother posted:^^^^ This is like what I said when I was buying Hero's Downfalls...I kept saying "I can just get Doom Blade or Ultimate Price". Having played using both Hero's Downfall and the other options the difference is noticable. I bought Thoughtseize to keep in my sideboard for Murdergoat after I played with Duress...being able to get rid of creatures as well as anything that isn't a land is fairly noticable. Getting rid of a Burning Tree Emissary or Fanatic of Mogis BEFORE it hits the board will actually make you see the difference.

bhsman posted:Eh, like Sanguine Blood I feel like the deck shouldn't go above 5 CMC unless there's a good reason (Trading Post is effectively 5 CMC already), and Goblin Rally just feels like a win more. Dropping a Molten Birth with Young Pyromancer out, dealing six, getting back, and playing it again in the same turn only requires a little bit of luck and one more mana for 12 damage and 6 tokens, and all without having to make room for new cards. I still say the best thing is being able to cycle Tymaret because of the Legendary rule. In any normal deck he is really sub par, but in this deck he shines as a master of recurrence.

Bread Set Jettison posted:The idea behind Clockwork Librarian is absolute insanity, and I hope they make more cards that interact with the actual process of draft. Drafting that card to exchange it for an extra spicy pack of cards later in the draft is just so cool. But heres the thing...If you use your Librarian you have to put him BACK in the pack, so the guy next to you can then take it and use it AGAIN. Imagine, since it is common, seeing 2-3 of these in a pod...it would cause so much confusion. Not to mention I can see people screwing up the card counts...because rear end holes exist.

Death Bot posted:For real, Mana Bases are the worst part of getting into any format in this game. I get that they're printed at rare so they don't influence the limited formats, but I've talked to plenty of people whose biggest hurdle getting into Modern or Legacy is the fact that in even a moderately competitive deck you can spend hundreds on mana bases. Considering I just went out and bought Shock and Scry lands for my Murdergoats deck yesterday I can completely relate. The rest of the cards I have in the deck don't cost as much as those 8 lands! I traded in my Foil Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth last week. Those were $30 a piece and I had 4 in my Legacy deck...
