Cactrot posted:I can't believe they're up to nearly 20 bucks now, I kinda feel like I should dump mine for fetches and play a non-rabblemaster deck. i'm also certain this is boros reckoner part 2, and they will never drop in price just to spite me. hell I was super salty that I dropped 20 dollars to buy two last sunday from a shop that charges low on singles. I recognized i was getting a great deal and just hate spending cash of singles. but that was before they jumped in price this much...

Entropic posted:I can't see Wingmate Roc commanding too high a price either. I honestly kind of think that card is terrible, at least in the abzan midrange deck. You have to contort yourself like crazy to trigger it in a deck with mostly 4 and 5 drops, and it being a stone blank against stormbreath sure doesnt help matters. I will give that it gets around elspeth, but elspeth is getting hated out by this format as it stands. If there is aggro-midrange deck thats base white then I like it, but its place is a curve topper, not a value play.

mango sentinel posted:In a world where Anger of the Gods is common and the quality of durdles is so low, I doubt it. if you go off, you'll bounce every nonland permanent they control, so chumpers don't matter. controlling decks are also less of an issue, since they can't put a clock on you quickly. the deck's worst nightmare is aggro, and aggro seems to be dying a screaming death right now.

Jabor posted:Stratus Walk seems like the better answer to chump blockers, given that the only flying creature that would generally be staying back to block your guys is Mantis Rider (and you probably have more than one mana dork to attack with if you're actually going off). ??? Ok do you guys not get that you get infinite mana, and infinite untaps, with two dorks and 4 Ascendancies in play? So you go off, draw your deck, play all your Ascendencies, bounce an ascendancy an arbitrary amount of times, retraction helix all their guys with your extra untaps. then you play all the mana dorks in your deck and twinflame them all. they're dead. chump blockers do not exist for this deck

AATREK CURES KIDS posted:That's the Modern version, not Standard. When's the next big Modern event, like a GP or PT? I figure we'll see a lot of Jeskai Ascendancy in the top 8. still, the standard version did finish 11th at indiannapolis, which aint nothing. It's probably worth playing in a devotion/slow midrange heavy meta

I've been testing a BW Control list pretty similar to the one that top 16ed the Indiannapolis Open. It has a slightly favorable matchup against mardu midrange, a better matchup against Abzan midrange, and Green devotion variants are a bye. didn't test enough with monsters to judge that. if the meta becomes Midrange: The Durdling, this deck is positioned to wreck face. e: also went 2-0-1 in draft and split for 30 in store credit, spent it all on prerelease seeded packs that were going for $2 a pop. walked away with a promo dig through time, jeskai ascendancy, butcher, and bloodsoaked champion amongst other things, as well as a shitload of trilands and charms. value was insane A big flaming stink fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Oct 4, 2014 |

superstepa posted:How much would a promo Jeskai Ascendancy go for now? I know promos aren't usually worth that much but Khans promos were semi-randomized so that might bump their prices up a bit right? check ebay completed sales for a ballpark price. TCGplayer has so few sellers that its basically worthless beyond "this card is worth more than two dollars." Alternatively, you should hold onto that ascendancy until the modern combo deck crushes a major event and then laugh your way to the bank (before it gets banned)

jesus christ. On saturday i was helping my friend crack a box (playing the rare game) and he manages to snag a foil delta. He was pretty pumped after that, obviously. He got a sorin and 3 other fetches as well as decent poo poo in it. on sunday i went to draft and got a foil delta in my second pack. I think i actually went on tilt for the rest of the draft and the games. played like absolute poo poo. Is positive tilt a thing? Anyway, looking on tcgplayer the foil is going for 80 bucks currently. my friends tell me to throw it in a safe deposit box and forget about it for a few years. I'm not an idiot so obviously i know it will go up eventually, but what time frame are we talking, and what will it top out at?

OssiansFolly posted:Eh if you play the game trade that Foil in for 3-4 of non-foil now. This is probably the best call when you open a foil so close after release... ok cmon i know this isn't going to be insane money, foil new thoughtseize is what, 60 bucks? legacy players love foils but hate new versions of old cards. Actually thoughtseize might be a good model to follow. ... ok I checked the foil price history of the theros foil and its really loving weird. Right after release it dropped from 50 to 30 and then chilled around there until decemberish when it rose kinda sharply to 40ish. Stayed there till september, where it loving rocketed to 80 bucks practically overnight. What the hell is that? Packs of Theros weren't being opened since M15, but even if I allow for the price spike for the new set, almost doubling in price makes no loving sense to me, regardless of the card. It's recent, so could it be an attempt at price fixing?

if anyone actually cares about that price tracking on foils i did earlier it seems that pretty much all foils of eternal playables spike like crazy when the new fall block is released. If this pattern holds for the delta, then it could easily end up at 120$ or more. In fact, this pattern seems to make it trivially correct to hold on to any foil fetches one can acquire, as they are very likely increase in value by at least 60% in only a year.

Chill la Chill posted:While this might be true, the real reason the foils own is because all of them besides polluted delta actually look good. Much better than the lame originals. The flooded strand even has a kawaii dry-bones in it! cant argue with this logic. also in further MODO is a piece of poo poo news, apparently you can't use glittering wish to get wear//tear because its a mono-colored card.
