I don't think the shaman is that terrible.  I can't wait to see the first on-camera blowout with it and a mono-G devotion shell with some combo of the green siege, Hornet Queens/Pulokranos monstrous activations wiping the board, and shaman finisher.

InterrupterJones posted:Also, all this talk about not liking dragons makes me feel like more of a minority for wanting to build my dream commander deck around Scion of the Ur-Dragon. Nah, don't feel bad, all these rad dragons (plus OG Kolaghan) makes me want to make something in Grixis colors that basically results in "dragons smash".  (of course I also want to make a commander deck around Alesha And Her ETB Trigger Homies so I know that feel)

mcmagic posted:He seemed like he was implying that if someone played the command on their opponents turn that they could be "gotten" by turning on landfall for their opponent. Doesn't read that way to me. Reads to me more like they turn on their own Searing Blaze when an opponent rightfully expects Landfall to be a non-issue (absent fetches).

Angry Grimace posted:No, he knows that, its that not being able to reveal it and having to pay to turn Mutavault on cuts down on the upside of the card by a lot. Fair enough. It didn't seem like it, since Samael's whole post was predicated on having animated mutavaults, so it felt like that was overlooked.

I kinda get a few of the criticisms levied, but yeah, it loses luster when it's inaccurate/confused about rotation and also is coming from a Warhammer player. I fully admit that I quit in RAV/TSP standard because I was tired of getting my poo poo ruined at FNM by "netdecked" (I've since gotten over using that as a nasty epithet, but it's the most accurate term) Dredge and Dragonstorm decks while I couldn't even afford shocklands (and I didn't/still don't enjoy the art of trading up to target pieces). But in my older, mildly wiser age now, I know that's on me, not the game. I wish Magic was cheaper to get into at a decent level, but I can still enjoy watching due to all the online content nowadays, so meh.

deftest posted:Magic is expensive. It's not necessarily less fun when you want to play but don't want to spend $20 on Thragtusks On the other hand, it very well can be. The LGS I played at back when I did was super competitive, and coming to FNM and getting blown out 0-4 every week is kind of a downer. I seem to remember there being something about how they handled promos that incentivized placing better to have a better shot, which was also a drag, but it's been years.

rabidsquid posted:It would suck if the only place you can play is FNM and the only FNM available is super competitive but I really hope this isn't the case very often. Yeah, I'm not trying to extrapolate my experiences to anyone else or use it as a condemnation of Magic in general (though I did at the time - that was me being a dumb 20 year old). Just saying that for me, there were definitely periods of "man, if I had more cash to spend on The Good Cards I could win and have more fun but I don't  ".Pre-releases were always fun though, but those tend to happen at the Fort Worth Convention Center around here, which is annoying to get to without a car as a Dallasite.

This may be the wrong thread for this - if it is, feel free to send me on my way. I was browsing some deck list and had a freakout moment when I saw that Crucible is $30 on tcgplayer pricing. Could've sworn I had one in what little remains I have of a "collection" (read: two decks and a smattering of singles), but I was wrong. That said I did find a few singles that are actually worth something (a Jitte and Pact of Negation that I knew about, and turns out Sliver Legions are $45 a pop on SCG?  ), and was wondering - for someone who's probably not going to play outside of drafts or prereleases and stuff, what's the best way to sell a few moderate-value singles like that? Go through one of the big stores, open up my own TCGPlayer storefront, or?(I guess I could also throw them up in the SA-Mart megathread?)

Cool, thanks for the opinions.  I wasn't sure about selling them to a LGS because A) I don't even go out to one that often and B) I figured the stuff would be old enough/not in demand enough for them to want to bother aside from the Jitte.

The formatting of the MODO Championships is hilarious. 3 rounds Vintage, 4 rounds Modern on Friday, 3 rounds DTK/DTK/FRF draft, 4 rounds Standard on Saturday, cut to top four, then Standard semifinals into a Vintage/Modern/Standard (if needed) finals. Holy poo poo that owns.
