All these promo arts are making me a little sad- they're so much neater than the typical art. We could be having sets full of those more crazy styles :qq:.

That said, really really happy they're finally letting folks do art like that.

1) what is happening in this art? where are they? what angle are you looking on this scene from?
2) what type of card is this? creature, enchantment, instant, sorcery?
3) what color is this card? hurr durr devoid, very clever. what color of mana do you need to cast this?

Without looking:

1) Sliver Eldrazi is killin' a whole lotta dudes. They are on a waste. I am flying by on my tiny helicopter that's currently turning.
2) Creature, 3-4 mana?
3) Devoid with red?

I had made these as proof of concepts for a custom cube I was working on, they seem to fit the discussion and honestly I'd love to play any of them as actual cards.





I love these man. Do you have the rest of the custom cube anywhere? Always fun seeing custom sets.

I'd completely missed that they did a 7/11 card in the Indian block. And this kicker, woof.

Gatherer numbers are alphabetical by set, this is just coincidence.

oh for sure, don't get me wrong, almost certainly a coincidence. That said, having it pointed out can't help but agree that wizards should probably move the position of that cards data to maybe one or two slots over.

So do Changelings count only as one of the 'Party' members, or all four? Assuming the former but the later would be pretty peachy.

creating a standard-legal set with an in-universe crossover with another IP: dumb. lame. goddamned loving stupid

Counterpoint: Arabian Nights is a dope set.

Like, if it was Star Trek I'd be more with ya, but Forgotten Realms is very much in MtG's wheelhouse. Heck, they can use most of their existing creature types to fit right in, kind of by design. Why not? :shrug:

I don't mind them doing it, but not as a mainline standard set. We'll see.

You might have to play with a card named "Beholder" vs. "Giant Floating Eye".

Granted, I would agree Giant Floating Eye is better – it just seems like such a non-change from what they usually would produce, outside of the label.

Skip to the outro if you don't care about the crack packing.

"Let's say there was this thing you were spending all this money on, and you couldn't even get games. Because they destroyed the formats, dismantled the professional circuit, dismantled a lot. Don't test formats like standard or modern. It was there, and it was there, and it was working, and they were like it's a lot of work, let's just pull thee wiring out of thee walls. And sell it."

Paraphrased, but :smith:

Hey, I'm looking to unload some cards worth a decent chunk of cash, what's the best way to get this done nowadays? I've got a stack of about 80 cards in front of me that priced out to around $6k when I made a tcgplayer buylist offer, but I'm noticing that, obviously, eBay prices are gonna be substantially higher. The number of cards is too high that I'd want to create individual auctions for everything, though, and I've heard horror stories about Paypal payments being charged back and the seller being left with no recourse. The bulk of the value is in a set of Revised dual lands in decent shape and a handful of other $200 singles -- it seems like a no-brainer to eBay those but they're exactly the cards that I don't want to have payment issues with.

Anyone have any experience selling off the collection that can give me some advice? I've got another couple huge boxes of cards I haven't gone through yet, but probably have another $1k or so in $20+ cards. I'm running into the problem that I haven't played in so long that I don't know what's valuable anymore. There were more than a few big value cards that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't randomly Googled them. Is this the point where I drag it all down to the local shop and ask for a bulk price?

(I'm also wondering whether the prices have slumped because of the pandemic and I'd be better off waiting a year?)

I'll buy the whole lot for $20 + shipping
