I'm seeing Karn go for a little below 30 bucks at the moment. I can snag a few copies for like 28 dollars a pop, think this is going to be a solid price point for him? Considering hes seeing small amounts of play in all formats he seems like he wont really ever go that low, but I'm not sure how low he could go, and I'm scared of how high he could go if Ravnica creates an environment wheres hes busted.
I had a friend post these on Facebook and I legitimately thought they MUST be fake because WotC couldn't possibly print something SO ugly, and SO irritating to read. Lo and behold I discover THEY WERE REAL. These are seriously some of the ugliest cards of any card game I have ever seen and it hurts me deep down that some of my favorite cards are getting the general treatment of Masterpieces and Expeditions, but they're getting it in the worst most unfathomably hideous fashion.
The person that designed these must be fired immediately, it hurts my SOUL to know that these are going to be real, actual Magic: the Gathering cards found in real sealed product.
I'm surprised EVERYONE isn't hype on these, we've been waiting to complete this cycle for a long while. This cycle has the benefit of not breaking anything as well as being useful in Eternal formats, its like best case scenario stuff here.
I'm psyched, gonna nab up all of them in the relevant colors I play with and I'll be hyped for the privilege.
Definitely not gonna miss out on key lands, nope, not after missing out on Fetches, nuh uh.
Signed by the artist. Lars Grant-West teaches at my school, and I finally got the chance to meet him and get him to sign the stuff from my affinity deck!
My LGS used to have this policy. 'Twas a magical time, but when I tried to preorder FTV20, I was told they were all going on ebay.
I don't even mind the prices LGS' might charge for this, but it makes me sad that a store is just putting something like this up directly to eBay. Especially all of them that they receive. :/
Well, it's too bad no one lives near the Fun Factory in Traverse City, MI. Our local store is giving one away to the person who guessed the most cards correct in the set before the spoilers come out. Pretty cool little contest really.
I think I'm actually winning since I called Impulse and Jace (granted I called Jace because i couldn't think of anything past Bloodbraid, but not complaining).
He will sell much lower than the gouging as well. He doesn't go MSRP but it's nothing like the Ebay sellers either.
One of my LGS is holding that same contest, though I think I'm screwed, so far I've only gotten Jace right. I have to imagine I'm en route to having guessed maybe six of them correctly?
Its a fun way to distribute the product though, I appreciate that they're doing it.
I'm going to focus on something more meaningful and positive than endless bickering, and just say that the new Cruel Ultimatum art is gorgeous. Too bad we can't get a reprint of Bolas himself (creature, not walker) with an art that nice.
If theres a card I get from FtV:20, its going to be the Bolas Ultimatums. SO GOOD. I need to start a collection of Bolas-related cards, because they are deliiiccious.
It makes me very sad that any hopes of celebrating Magic's 20th birthday on my 19th birthday are firmly flushed down the toilet due to the presence of the Wallet-Sculptor. :/
Well, maybe I'll find a FtV: 20 with a Jace specifically missing so I can buy it for a reasonable price. >_>
My only serious issue with this set is how it seems like they half-assed Slivers.
Only one blue and one black Sliver? At rare?
Feels really, really half-assed. If they had done Slivers right, I think I would've been pretty cool with M14, but the lack of completion with them just leaves me feeling disappointed.
I don't care too much about the lower power level. I'm not a fan of powercreep and if we're in for a period of powering down, I'm okay with it.

I am a drama queen.
But it still hurts me.
I still like the original art more, but god DAMN is it gonna look slick with the art in the fancy border.
I'm hyped, if it drives down the prices of all the cards in the set maybe I'll even get full sets of the enemy fastlands, man HYPE!
HYPE FOR THE PRETTY!!

Well, I'll love it anyways, because I love Tezzeret, but him being Esper is my worst case scenario.
Vault Skirge's FNM promo art was done by one of my professors, so thats cool, but Mox Opal is also really, really pretty.
Just seems... like its lacking that certain mythic flavor. Eh. Color me disappointed.

Well, its theirs to do with as they may I guess.
One of these days I'm gonna have the ability to attend one of these, because they sound really fun.

The alternate art in FtV:20 is definitely sick!
