I've had kmcs split but only because I accidentally had one half of the deck upside down when I shuffled. I popped 3 or 4 at once and after that they split willy nilly. I replaced all of those and haven't had any problems before or since. However I'll give dragon shields a chance.

A lot of bellyaching on Reddit about the mythic rarity level, all asserting what it "should" be and how it's awful powerful cards get printed there. Or weak cards.

It got me thinking about the chances of getting a given Mythic in a pack. In a large set I figure it's a 1/8 to get a mythic at all and then 1/15 for a given mythic, so 1/120.

For the chance of a given rare, firstly it's 7/8 of not getting a mythic, then 1/52 or 7/371 of a given rare, giving 7/2968 or 1/424.

I must have a made a mistake, right? What have I missed, or are you actually more likely to open Gideon than Prism Array?

Mythics dont replace rares, they replace commons.

Also 52 * 7 = 364

Also 7/8 * 7/371 = 49/2968


It's basically just 1/120 vs 1/52


Edit: 7/8 * 1 / 52 = 7 / 416 about 1/60.

How much are those 90 fakebux worth? If they are actually worth 40k as someone on reddit says, there is no way they are recouping their investment, even if they hoard all the Seances ever printed and burn half of them. Of coruse assuming this is not a huge scam/a crazy person taking MTGfinance to the utmos end.

Well helllllllooooo Basil! Is our bet still on? So if I can take a random bulk rare and move it to 2 dollars in the space of ooonnne pro tour I'll win our combined inheritances and if I lose you get the inheritances?

I said it above, but just in case it seemed like a joke, I honestly think Dust Bowl might be the best of both worlds. It fixes the wasteland "problem" in similar fashion to Tec Edge, in that it can't sucker-punch someone in the first few turns of a game (silly mana acceleration scenarios aside), but it offers a significant buff over Tec Edge in that it has the potential to slowly gently caress the poo poo out of any deck that was planning to spend the game sucking its manabase's dick.

dang I would love dust bowl in a loam deck.

You can serum visions on your t3 then counter their clique or exarch/pestermite or w/e and be okay. I guess mana leak works the same there with less color requirements but this has better late game applicability compared to leak.

I don't think it'll shake any format to its core or anything but I like it and I'll pick up a playset.
