I’m surprised the big stores aren’t pushing wizards to create an Origins foreword format to move all the bulk rares they couldn’t get rid of after rotations. Arena would only have to program 3 sets worth of cards and wizards could probably make a masters set to sell with all the staples. Except they’d probably gently caress that up and charge horizon prices for a set that has like 10 cards worth slightly more then the price of the pack.

Does anyone have any experience with blue black mill in their playgroups? I’ve watched some videos on YouTube and found some decks online, it looks like a lot of fun and now that graveyards aren’t an extension of the hand you can safely put things in your opponents graveyard. It’s basically a burn deck with a mission briefing - archive trap/glimpse the unthinkable combo for the big mills. Schieming symmetry seems prefect for this because I can just mill the card away or wait for them to Untap with mesmeric orb in play the next turn

C-Euro posted:Hello. Does scheming symmetry work? Any mill spells not seeing play that could work like the blue 5 for 1 or 7 for 2? Does Mind Funeral work? How often do you get less then 10 cards? Is extirpate a good budget alternative for surgical extraction? Should I run 4 shelldock isles? Do I run war Ashiok in the sideboard?

What kind of removal package should I go with. Seems like 5-6 fatal push / inquisition of kozleak is standard. I forgot that Symmerty and field of ruins activate archive trap. That makes ashiok a lot better. And you can always cycle the visions of beyond for a blue. The one card I might wait on getting is mesmeric orb at the end until I know if the December set I assume they’ll make is a reprint set. If it gets reprinted it drops to sub $10.

I feel like this is the one day of spoiler season that it’s not the best card to release. Maybe yesterday and tomorrow included. Especially being the white pacifism enchantment for the set, it’s not an important card. Anyone that loses their mind over it is obviously dumb as poo poo and a loving moron looking for attention. But maybe just put that card in the common dump at the end so no one has to hear about this poo poo.

Owlbear Camus posted:Am I the only one who occasionally goes to flea markets and garage sales with the fantasy of a "yard sale find" of some old shoebox with some beat up OG duals interspersed among the wood elementals and living walls, or a sealed box of some old set? I found 2 warhammer sets at a thrift store earlier this year. It was half off day so they were $2 each, one was sealed and the other was open but untouched. They were selling on eBay for about $40 each. Sold them to a player for $60. It happens, you just have to be very very lucky. A friend from high school knew I still played magic so he wanted me to look at his 95-98 era collection. He pulled out like a royal assassin, shiva dragon, a few other cards that were worth a lot back when he played in middle school. His jaw dropped when I told him all the stuff he pulled out had very little value, but his sylvan library, 3 wastelands and 2 city of traitors were worth a few hundred dollars. It was before the eternal masters reprints. He had a few other cards in the $10-$20 range so he was pretty happy. I kept a demonic tutor for my troubles.

2 of the stores I bought magic from as a kid were started as sports cards only. With a corner of the store dedicated to magic, then eventually Star Trek, Star Wars, some games that probably only had 1-3 sets released and failed. Both of those went out of business. the one in my small hometown was a front for bookmaking and Coke. I was there when the cops raided the place right after school. Why they decided to do it at 3 pm, instead of anytime before 2:30 never made sense. The comic book shop in the closest city was probably the first in the area to carry magic. Comics, war game miniatures, fantasy/sci fi/horror novels. Back then the only place you could get shirts with comic book/Star Wars characters on them outside of the children’s section of clothing stores was at comic book stores.

Framboise posted:1. Dear lord no. The Planeswalker decks are full of extremely low power jank that are not only not worth what you pay for them, but aren't fun to play. I super suggest trying to get one of the Challenger Decks or the Brawl precons if you can! The card quality is significantly higher and they were designed to be played right out of the box. Go for the guild decks they put out for guilds of rav and allegiance. They’re meant to be played against each other. They’re full of fun and good cards from the 8 ravnica sets.

ItBreathes posted:I mean, they aint gonna look for them, but if someone asks "did your cards/property really get stolen", having filed a police report can give some credibility to your statement. Yeah. They’re never going to do anything. But having a report is probably necessary if they sell them to a pawn shop or store and you want to claim them as stolen merchandise and get them back. You can say it was a binder with vraska art and tefari art and deck boxes with whatever art. It’s a bit more unique then just naming off a list of cards that there are millions of copies of.

I'd assume it's 100% that the friendly fast lands will be printed in the next core set to make the mana bases even for pioneer. I guess since they're actual locations that's the only way to print them since core doesn't have a story to it. Also 5 of the shock lands have been printed in precons so far. If they do another round of Brawl decks for the next set with one each that'll leave 1 spot in the challenger decks. It's pretty great that you can build a 12 card enemy color land base for $80 or less.

This format, especially the mad scramble to build decks trying to figure out what works the first couple months has to be a godsend to every LGS and big internet seller that's stuck with cards that rotated out over the last few years. I'm sure the stores stuck with a couple dozen copies of check lands will be happy to sell them for $3-$4 again. I'm really happy I picked up a set of Vraska's Contempt for about $1 each after rotation just in case this format ever materialized (I guessed Origins forward).

The hot store with great prize support is running pioneer Thursday night. I’m going to play green stompy. Here’s my sideboard so far: 4 feed the clans. I’m sure there’s gonna be burn for the first few weeks 2 scavenging ooze 2 shapers sanctuary. So I get something when they zap my creatures 3 veil of summer 2 back to nature. For enchantments I guess? 2 witchstalkers. 3/3 hex proof that gets bigger against u/b Should I put in natural states? I figure smugglers copter is gonna be a problem until the first ban. Any suggestions from anyone? I’m running 4 bramblecrush main deck.

It’s usually stuff that’s been printed 3 or 4 times or cards that were barely good enough to see play in limited or stuff that hasn’t seen play since it rotated out 1-15 years ago. I don’t know how much heart of kiran was 2 days ago, but I assume it was less then $1 and they haven’t sold one in a year. A few months ago I found an urzas destiny attrition and some foil fire blasts and chain lightenings. But they’re not paying me to search their bulk for cards worth $2.

The only thing a smart person should have invested in was the recent dual lands when they were $2-$3. I finished off all my playsets of the check lands around rotation for about $2 each. Also get a playset of vraskas contempt while they’re still $2. I doubt they’ll hit $12 again but in a format with 25 gods and some busted rear end planeswalkers they’re gonna be very necessary at some point.

If your goal is playing fnm or whatever local tournament expect to spend $100-$200 for a competitive standard or pioneer deck. If you stick to a mono color pioneer deck you can save yourself about $100 just by not needing 2 color lands. Since you’re new to the game I’d suggest red burn or green stompy. They’re very straight forward and don’t appear to have many expensive cards.

2 great cheating stories. Same store in the early 2000s. The lesson is if you’re a cheater don’t tell your girlfriend because if you cheat on her she’ll call the store and tell them how you cheat magic cards. My friend would always roll a 6 and 20 sided die before cutting his opponents deck of the 6 sided came up even he would just cut the deck around the middle. If it came up odd he would roll the 20 sided and cut that many cards to the bottom. Took about 10 extra seconds to do and no one really cared aside from a couple people thinking it was kinda odd the first time they played him. The only person that was always angry about it was a guy probably 15 years older then us. Like he would huff and puff about how it was a waste of time and bullshit from a little kid. Well it turned out that he would set aside 20 cards and put them in the middle of his deck so that when his deck was cut he would get 10 or so of those cards and always have a great hand and first few draws. His now ex girlfriend called the store because he bragged to her how no one could beat him if they cut his deck in half. I guess an employee watched his hands when he was shuffling and saw him grab a pile of cards out of his cargo shorts and slip it into his deck that was in his other hand. He was a condescending poo poo head and would straight up insult people after he beat them for not having $300 standard decks including us high schoolers who were basically washing dishes and mowing lawns to buy magic cards. I know he got banned because no one liked him and he was a toxic piece of poo poo. Hopefully he blew his brains out that night. The second cheater would always have 2 common cards of each color sleeved up for sealed and would add the appropriate cards to his deck in the bathroom after construction. Think like 5 general spells and 5 efficient creatures. Shock/negate/doom blade/pacifism/giant growth and 3/3 flying/first strike/trample for 4 or whatever. So I guess his ex called and said they were either in his hoodie pocket or cargo shorts pocket. The store owner pulled him aside and told him that he needed to empty his pockets on suspicion of cheating. He found the cards in there. I was there for that one. He was banned from playing limited events and who knows if he ever came back to play or just went somewhere else. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Speaking of mystery boosters, does anyone know when they’re going to announce the foil set? Or start announcing it?
