I say this for the best comparison. look at Hearthstone as the best example. A very fun game with "semi-complex" mechanics, and somewhat beginner friendly.
The cost to entry, for a total noob, to really start playing in "standard", if say you miss the promotional, would be say $50 to $150/$200 MAX - this let's one buy a set of classic and two of the latest sets (all one needs). Since this is a digital product, the player can simply disenchant or breakdown duplicates and "craft" the remainder cards to complete a top tier deck.
Best of all, all cards are accessible ALWAYS
Wizards needs to get real and really see where the competition is kicking their butt... start with MTGO!
It misses the cut for me at 360 right now, but we were enjoying it at 450+. It's a fun and powerful card that can fill a couple of roles, both as black sweeper and as reanimation support card.
Sgree with wtwlf and Spike. This is a card that is good sweeper for 5, but when setup right, can be EXTREMELY Abusable. Sac Outlets setting up for a turn 5 mega rampage in a green black deck.
A great game example where this came from nowhere was when Opponent played
t1 Lotus Petal and Forest for Lotleth Troll.
T2 Swamp and Night's Whisper
t3 Drop swamp, Play Dark Ritual and discard Griselbrand, Wurmcoil Engine, and Akroma Angel of Wrath - Living Death
OUCH
Seeing them bouncing around between $63.00 to $70.00 with the bids on eBay, and few Buy it nows from $75 to $80.
What has made this card slip so much? Too much hype and not enough Legacy players?
i wanted to add that 1v1, she is ok. like wtwlf suggested, it is better to play a stronger 5 drop.
however, in multiplayer, you can use your blue cards to stock up and counter during each of your opponents turns
try this card with opposition for some of the most epic (for you) lock downs.
Same boat here. Married with twins on the way. I just cannot reason paying so much for paper to enjoy, especially when it can go to so many other things instead.. i.e furniture, new home improvements, activities wwith the FAM etc.I i still have all of mycards and cube, whichI can playy whenI would like to.
however, the people at all of theLGS around where I live are just smelly, and weirdos. I can't really enjoy this hobby with them.s

Will these holofoils add extra price to our packs? I ask as foiling in print is an extra step/unit in line If they have enough units on press or if they add it via die cut, and usually costs significantly more.
additionally, sinceI doubt these cards are going to be produced like money, the foiling is still not going to line up exactly on every single card.
whatthen?.
counterfeit cards that are made the same way as the real deal are finally going to level the playing field and allow the players who play this game for the strategy and competitive part to really get going.
the current cost of cards is outrageous just to even play competively. I want to know iI lost because iI was outsmarted, not out priced monetarily
Well based of the print runs we have been seeing, colors can be all over the place.I'm honestly glad this is happening, andI hope it is a wake up call to wixards to help make cards more affordable

I would never use Magic as a pure investment. It is a hobby and game first.

I wanted to test him, but as mentioned, he just seems too costly for the effect he produces that is already covered in other great cards.
A lot of the time my cube plays multiplayer. Does the 2B AND creature sac justified in this instance, when games can go late?
