Six-digit DCI number-haver here. I think you had to register prior to 2000...I believe it was around '96 for me.

They can get rid of the reserve list but it won't lead to an appreciable decrease in the cost of Vintage or Legacy staples. They will very carefully control their print runs and make anything super valuable a "Masterpiece". At the end of the day it will make very little difference for people trying to get into those formats just like Modern Masters has done gently caress all for Modern affordability.

ThePeavstenator posted:What??? Masters sets have done wonders for prices of singles. The prices tend to go back up because more people buy into the formats and increase the demand. Exactly. It's great to expand the format but the prices always rebound.

Sickening posted:What do you think happens to the prices if masters set don't come out? If you believe anything close to what they are now loving slap yourself. Long-term prices will go down if the format stagnates and dies because of a lack of players. Short-term prices may decrease but if Wizards does their job ten years from now MM2027 will still command a premium because "prices are still too high".

Sickening posted:Does this describe the modern format in any way? Think about that for a little while. Back to my original point -- abolishing the reserve list means nothing if they don't print a certain volume of cards. Modern Masters sets have put a dent in prices of some staples but it is still an expensive format to get into and I don't see Wizards having any incentive to change that as long as they keep trying to make Standard work.

I apologize, I don't keep a close eye on prices and have most of the staples already so I may have underestimated the reduction in prices.

They are not going to reprint Shivan Dragon ... it has been reprinted too many times and doesn't evoke much nostalgia even for those of us who have been playing since '94.

Marketing New Brain posted:I mean Jace uptick was definitely unpleasant but I think not that different than any slow control deck win con. Being drownyarded out or towered out is all pretty much the same, the format had fetchlands fateseal wasn't even a real lock. Let's not forget Rishadan Port for a long run of inducing frustarted semi-helplessness in opponents before you get around to killing them.

Angry Grimace posted:They should just have a 2WB card named "Hour of Devastation" that destroys all creatures. We definitely need a well-costed answer to Planeswalkers. How about 3RB, destroy target planeswalkers, deal damage equal to its loyalty counters to each creature that player controls. edit: maybe 2RB would be better costed Smashing Link fucked around with this message at 22:22 on May 12, 2017 |

PhyrexianLibrarian posted:Yeah I've sold out twice. Usually I submit the list to either Cardhoarder or MTGOTraders and take whichever one gives the better cash value, never tried credit. I can't imagine trying to sell it all individually is worth the time investment. I've seen some pretty big collections sold at Baltimore's SCG event. Not sure what kind of a value you get but you can walk in with a stack of cards and leave with cash.

What are some of the best strategies against all of these hyper-efficient Delver/Death's Shadow type of decks? It seems like resilience to discard is the key element.

ThePeavstenator posted:Lots of removal, able to go late, and yeah resilient to discard effects. Basically you also play Jund, Abzan, or Grixis but instead of Death's Shadows you play more removal with 3-4 CMC creatures and/or planeswalkers. Hmm we need a sweeper card that has the wording "if an opponent forces you to discard ~ instead it gains suspend and put 2 time counters on it". That would be good against all these drat weenies.

Marketing New Brain posted:Honestly, standard would be so much better if loving Duress was a card. Having the discard spells be 2 cmc slows your development too much. It feels like the most important safety valve cards were taken and as a result people just can't build decks to interact properly with what they've printed. This but also Counterspell, Lightning Bolt, and Path to Exile.
