    That said, I have a few additions and corrections.

    Thx, all noted and processed. Further remarks are always welcome.

    Edit: Italic tags aren't working properly


    Sorry to bother you again; just a few more things to fill in:

    I think that Daring Saboteur is 2/1 (no p/t listed currently).

    Dreamcaller Siren costs 2UU (currently it says 3UU).

    Jace’s cost is 1UU. His first ability is a +. His second ability is a -. His third ability is also a – and the effect is “Create two tokens that are copies of Jace, Planar(?) Castaway, except they’re not legendary.” His starting loyalty is 3.

    Kopala, Warden of Waves is a rare (currently it says mythic).

    “Fathom-Fleet Plundering” and the unnamed sorcery with “Reveal the top three cards of your library. For each of those cards, put it into your hand unless an opponent pays ? life. Then exile the rest.” are the same card (currently the name and the card effect are separate on the list.)

    Deadeye Tracker is on the list twice: once with the name, once without the name but with the same effect.

    Kimalla’s Skinshifter is actually Tilomalli’s Skirmisher (or something like that; I can’t tell the exact spelling but it doesn’t say Kimalla’s).

    Other than that, everything looks good. Great job on the number crunch, and the spoiler is a great reference. Certainly the most complete spoiler for Ixalan I’ve seen, and with these few changes, probably the most accurate.

    (Btw, I’m pretty sure it is “Scuttle the Wreckage” judging by what the name of the card looks like, although either scuttle or settle could make sense in the context.)

    If you look carefully, the first word in - the Wreckage is only six letters.

    It's Settle the Wreckage, not Scuttle. And Burning Sun's Avatar deals 3 damage to up to one target creature, not every creature that player controls. I suggest giving this another look over before spreading more misinformation:

    I haven't read over the whole partial spoiler since I have a tournament I'm going to tomorrow, but those are the two big ones.

    Enchantment 3/7R
    Whenever you cast a spell from your hand reveal the top X cards where X is that spell's converted mana cost. You may cast a card revealed this way with converted mana cost X or less without paying it's mana cost. Put the rest in the bottom of your library in a random order.

    If it's 3 it's getting banned in Modern.

    I see 3 as well. It looks like the name is Sunbird's Invocation.

  • posted a message on Fall 2017 set named Ixalan & changes to pro tour schedule
    "Ixalan is just a rename of Atlazan" are you ******* kidding me. Just admit you were wrong. I don't know how you could have gotten that Atlazan was a Meso-American world when they only showed a merfolk when most people thought it was referencing Atlantis. Just seems like you're in denial. If the name of the actual set wasn't Atlazan then clearly Atlazan is a fake set, don't know why this is so hard to follow.

    I tried telling you people that Atlazan was a fake set to test design concepts for booster packs and you didn't listen.

    I'm guessing this is what the art for Snap will be since it's the promo art on MTGO. It's a much needed reprint for pauper.

    According to TCG, these Masterpieces together are roughly $90 in trade value. So my counterquestions for you are -

    "Do you go to GPs or other large events? What's trading like at your local store? Do you like trading?"

    Basically, if you think that you'll be able to move them for more relevant cards, then don't take the store credit offer, as you're passing up on $20. If you hate trading, or if your store doesn't have people who have Modern cards for trade (this seems less likely after MM17 hits the streets), or if nobody has ever expressed interest in those particular Masterpieces, then go ahead and take the store credit. I would personally hold them, since I tend to hit up 3-4 GPs per year, and you can always find someone who wants what you have at a big event. If nothing else, you can probably move them for MM17 reprints in a couple weeks.

    They are $82 total on TCG Low. Getting $72 store credit is actually a really good deal, especially from a store. Likely better than just selling on a facebook group and having to eat shipping.

    Yeah, I was using Market, not Low. I've found that most people prefer to trade at Mid or Market.

    OP wants to end up with cards, so I asked leading questions about trading. Perhaps I should have added "Do people at your store trade at Market or Low?"


    He's not trading to other people at the store. He's trading them for store credit, clearly means he's trading them into the store.
    He asked about trading them for store credit, which is why I brought up other options. It's never just between
    A) Keep my cards
    B) Store credit

    There are always the options of trading with local players, trading online, or selling online. I thought that the OP should consider at least trading locally as another option, since it's possible that he could get more bang for his buck if he did so. Maybe the OP had already considered that and rejected the option for any of a number of valid reasons, but I don't know that. Store credit is not usually a good first choice. This is a pretty good store credit offer, but if there's a vibrant trading scene at mid, or if he goes to big events where there's usually a vibrant trading scene at mid, or if he's comfortable spending &2.50 on postage to trade with Seal, he'll end up with more Modern cards than if he went the store credit route, and that's the stated goal - more Modern cards. I want to get him closer to his goal, not just evaluate the offer in a vacuum. If the stated goal had been "I want to build up store credit for some Moden Masters 3 drafts", then that's a totally different question (to which the answer would probably be "yeah, go for it").

    Does what I'm saying make sense?

    He didn't say that he wanted to trade to other players. And honestly trading to other players is always obvious option that it shouldn't even need to be said. He wanted to know if he should sell his cards for the store credit he was offered, I said that's a good deal from the store, and that should be that.

    Pithing Needle and Scroll Rack Masterpiece for $72 store credit?

    I don't really need the masterpieces, but I'd also wouldn't mind using the credit to buy into another modern deck. I'm not strapped for cash so I can always just buy the modern deck, I just don't like cards sitting in my binder that I don't need.

    ... I like the old Jhoira artwok (more). Frown
    Jhoira vs Lovisa seems kind of random though. They didn't even live in the same time, did they?


    Speed vs Cunning were Arcanis vs Zurgo Helmsmasher. Different times, different planes. The thematic decks are no more bound to real conflicts.

    Not having an Amonkhet preview as the foil mythic is weird, though.

    Maro said on his tumblr that he didn't like preview cards in duel decks so it looks like he won that battle.

    Why isn't there a name and number crunch for MM17? Is it just not worth the effort since we'll get the whole set spoiled on Friday?
