A friend of mine just bought a playset of Badlands and one seems a bit off. The space between the image and the edge of the card is longer than usual. I drew a small red arrow to show the difference, but I'm sure you guys can see it without it. The space seems to be recovered at the bottom, where the image is much closer to the edge than it should be.
Does it change anything in the price of the card? Did he pay too much for it, or did he find a gold nugget?
Hey there, I was wondering if you're planning to change the way you get your prices for the cards in a collection for The Vault. The option you provide (the % cut thing) is surely better than nothing, but it does rather a poor job when you want an accurate price for your collection, taking in account all the foils prices that are worth 8x and the few that are barely worth a penny more.
Is it in your plan to get the price check directly from a website, such as what DeckBox can do? So far they're the best I've seen on this matter. But honestly, I would like to use your software more.
It really depends if they're printing all 10 fetches or just the ONS fetches in this set. If it's all 10, yeah, ZEN fetches are going down. If it's only ONS fetches, zen fetches will go through the roof. Scalding Tarn will be the new USea.
I personally think they're going to go ahead and print the enemy fetches too. Why the hell not. I just listed my ZEN fetches on ebay.
It's totally the opposite that will happen. Even if the Zen doesn't get reprinted right now (but they should be, it's a big if), the prices will go down. People are using sub-par fetches for Modern because they have no better options available. Want an Esper deck in Modern? You have no Esper fetches, so you just use what you have on hands. Once one can replace his Scalding Tarn for a Polluted Delta in a UB deck, he will. Scalding Tarn will be less desired.
How interesting is 4x REV Plateau for 1x REV Volcanic Island? All NM.
I have the Plateau but I don't know, it doesn't feel quite right to trade 4 dual lands for a single one, even if blue. I feel like a new deck could emerge and give me more value with the Plateau over time.
But then again, I don't play with the Plateau and don't have the fetch for it, while the Volcanic could be fetched and see plays in some of my decks. What do?
Main reason would be the reprint. Everyone thought Jace was sacred and way too powerful to be reprinted again, so some value was added based only on that. Now that we know WotC can and might reprint him again, this value is forever lost.
Also, while Legacy and Commander indeed drive an interest for Jace, it's still the casual players who are driving the demand on this one. Jace is a cool card, every single casual playgroup probably has a ''cool kid with a Jace, wow!''. Legacy was just helping the demand here, but the meta shifted quite a lot since Jace's prime, and he's not even played that much anymore. Among the top decks, only Miracles and BUG use him a 3-of (max).
Only when playing casual with friends, but when we all do get dramatic as a playgroup, it probably becomes the funniest Magic I've ever been playing.
I've had so much fun playing a T2-ishh UW Stoneblade Legacy deck, stuffed with 4 Supreme Verdict, and acting as the ''police'' within our playgroup. All players had the right to skip their turn and fill a complain to me so I could investigate the matter and maybe cast a Swords to Plowshares on the creature that was bothering them, or just make sure to wipe everything with a Supreme Verdict for the ''safety of our town''. ''Ain't letting no guetto forms in here!''
That or, we went on a buzz playing all ''nations'' from international news. One player was Israel, Gaza, North Korea, Ukraine, etc. I was playing the USA, and played Jace 2.0. Full dramatic, scene went ''In this time of turmoil, a new president must arise. Loyal citizens of the United States, please welcome your new warchief and leader, Joe Rogan the Mind Sculptor.''
We laughed so hard I couldn't even play properly and lost to Russia attacking with Archbound Ravagers.
Just making sure... Aetherling, Foil version, is going to drop hard post-rotation, right? I mean the card isn't that expensive but it will be a junk foil when it rotates, correct?
The subject might have been discussed before, but are Scalding Tarn & other fetches dropping for good? Are people speculating about a reprint and selling everything? According to Goldfish it has been dropping since April 01.
Hey guys I'm the guy that just got top 8 with Manaless. What are your questions about my sideboard?
Also, I will have a tournament report published on DraftMagic within the next day or so. I submitted it yesterday but they're occasionally a little slow.
Grats on your finish and welcome to MTG Salvation! I do indeed have some questions for you: did your sideboard really work out?
I was told Manaless Dredge could go straight top 8 if you knew how to play the deck but didn't face any hard hate, like Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void and the like. Did it happen in the tournament that you actually won DESPITE these cards in play, due to your sideboard? How many times did it happen?
Again grats on your finish, I want to believe you found THE solution to all my problems
I am indeed aware of that. I was talking about Spell Pierce when I talked about the Vial, saying I found this special utility of Spell Pierce a bit ''meh''. I'm mostly questionning how the added value on Spell Pierce hitting enchantments, planeswalker and artifacts is worth it over what I think to be a much better counterspell starting as soon as turn 3.
I know Spell Pierce is more played than Flusterstorm and I'm really trying to understand why. You guys seem to have experience on it, telling me the versatility compensate for the lack of power. I'll just trust you and see after a few games the situations where Flusterstorm could have saved me over Spell Pierce.
Quick question, how the hell can you build a Painter sideboard when you play Manaless? I heard of it, but never saw an actual list.
Can someone provide?
EDIT: I think the guy I talked with confused Painter and HelmRiP combo. So yeah, how to play Helm without mana!?
I have no clue how that is possible without sideboarding lands, and even then... Are you sure they werent confusing the trick with Serra Avatar against Painter? They mill your entire deck, Serra Avatar gets shuffled back in, passed to your turn you draw and win because your entire yard is there? That's always a fun trick.
I have never heard of any other interaction with Painter, whether it is sideboarding into it, or anything.
I meant Helm RiP Combo using your opponent RiP and indeed packing lands in SB. I heard about it and wish I could see a list.
Whatever the deck, I can't find a good reason to not main deck Flusterstorm over Spell Pierce.
I understand that Spell Pierce counters planeswalker and artifacts, but else than that how is it better than Flusterstorm? Is it really worth it in the end? To me it seems like Storm game 1 would be much more threating than a random planeswalker being cast, especially when you can run pure Counterspell like in UW Stoneblade or something.
It also stops Aether Vial turn one. If you're on the play. That's pretty meh to my eyes.
Do you guys have any experiences that could light me up?
