That said, I won't deny that Meloku is an interesting card and has a nice flavor.
Might have to disagree with you here. Everything has its context. Modern? Fair, kiki is eons ahead. Cube? Ill probably windmill slam Meloku over Kiki anyday.
turn 1: land, go
turn 2: land, pack rat, go
turn 3: land, discard another land, make a 2nd packrat, swing 2, go
turn 4: land, discard another land, make a 3rd packrat, swing 6, go
aaaand, RDW has already won or esper control drops verdict.. If my deck can't deal with 3 3/3 rats on turn 4, I've got bigger problems.
I'm sure there are standard decks that could better abuse a free mull, and as such I support the current rule. I just think it's a lot less abusable in standard than in modern or especially legacy.
I think he means limited, where the infamous 39 land pack rat deck actually did fairly well and with that mulligan rule would be laughably even more broken.
I actually vote GR. Double Voyaging Satyr, Nessian Asp, Nemesis of Mortals, AND Boon Satyr? Count me in. (Also Nylea's Disciple and Centaur Battlemaster are pretty sick too)
I mean at the end of the day its your card, and if you're fine with sitting on it thats fine. Just to be clear some people may be hostile towards your asking price because 4 shocklands is equal to $40+ whereas the shrine is closer to $30 so thats why people might be taking it poorly.
But if you want to hold, hold away. Its your card.
A cards rarity has no impact on this frequency to appear as a foil.
So a foil Young Pyromancer is just as difficult to crack from a pack as a foiled scavenging ooze. (non-promo)
Is this really true? I find this hard to believe, I mean just look at how many foil MM Tarmo's were cracked in comparison to say, Dampen Thought. I'm kind of skeptical.
Honestly the ability to trade for modern staples is the most fantastic part about this set. I was able to get goyfs with spare sphinxs revs and voices, which literally was an unheard of oddity before mm.
Short term, it will go down. Can't say by how much due to the scarcity of FTVs
Longer term though, they will continue to rise due to the growing playerbase demanding these cards (barring another set of reprints from WoTC)
Also remember that ftv-esque foils are generally seen as "less pimp" for more expensive cards like this (skullclamp, sol ring, kind of loyal retainers) it will drop for sure, but honestly unfortunately not that much.
Maybes:
What a set.
so many dollar signs....... I think i'd go with the duals because of the sustained dollar signs

Actually surpising to me how many people are saying tapping enchantments when its clearly stated on page 1 its not happening.
Heres hoping for enchantment creatures.
How likely do you think that is, Gunslinga?
... like your bank account
