Living end is another competitive very budget friendly deck.
You can play Merfolks and be competitive.
You can play Affinity, tier 1, and take somehow a low budget.
One thing i really DO LOVE about modern is that it has lots of competitive archetypes. My local FNM metagame is so avrious that building a SV that's effective in every matchup is a mission: impossible.
But now seems like everybody think that modern = Jund. This is pretty clear when you look at how many ppl build it at tournaments. And that scares me a bit, because i have a fear that this can kill the meta (and the fun). If you think that to play modern you'll have to spend on Goyfs, it's a bias of yours, and it's pretty scary, as i said.
it only kills a meta if its unbeatable and ends up being many mirror matches.
the other night there was nearly a fist fight over if it should be house banned, or errata'd at my lgs. it was ridiculous. i stayed out of it. we left it as is, no errata, no banning. of course the last game of the night im the guy who drops it turn 1 and swings away on one of the guys saying to ban it. tables nearly flipped. it made for almost a complete blowout.
personally i feel its only that back breaking within the first 3 turns and then it just turns into any other fatty... but seeing how infuriated people got over it being played at all made me wonder.
Wrong, Different Print runs, and assortment leads to higher probability in these .
irrelevant. same probability of getting the same cards. different print run and assortment means less predictability, but does not mean the chances of pulling money is greater, or lesser. theyre sealed boosters. nothing more. nothing less.
boosters are boosters. where they come from is irrelevant. so incredibly tired of these threads where people are like OMFG I OPENED THIS THING. it has no bearing on anything. its a booster. you can open ****. you can open money. it doesn't matter.
if i see one of these at my lgs i'll pick it up just to say i've gotten it. good to know the box isn't complete garbage.
All this is gonna do is make the Modern Masters packs sell even faster :/
this was my first thought too.
they'll have under estimated demand as they always do on these limited release things and not print enough, so prices will remain high, and climb higher. no problems solved.
It actually happens to have the same wording as any other Ulimited Tropical Island. (The auction says revised, OP stated that it should say unlimited).
Other than that, it doesn't look worth the gamble to me. No feedback, just joined, and is selling a Tropical Island? I'd rather spend the little more it would take to get it from an established seller...
oh i missed that part and assumed it was a revised one like the auction stated it was.
Wizards doesn't get it. They've obviously hired some newbies for the development team, or something.
For all of you that say Tarmogoyf is green, don't forget that it's primarily used as the beater in blue decks.
i think these sorts of comments show that you don't get it. good cards will always rise to the top, and pros will always be playing them. color is irrelevant. once you get past the kitchen table its 'i play whatever wins' not 'i play red'
i haven't bought from them since that time i bought a jace the mind sculptor listed as near mint for 80 (when they were $100), and when it came in the mail 2 weeks later it was so beat it was barely sleeve playable. rather than refund the money, or send me a new one, they sent me a $15 gift card.
instantly lost my business and will never, ever, have it again.
Ha! Four out of the five generals I use are females: Teysa, Glissa, Radha, and Zedruu. My other general is Lorthos and--
My god... I just realized I created the setup for a tentacle hentai.
with a bit of beastiality thrown in!
i already pretty much do this idea by having savra, teysa, drana, lyzolda, jhoira, and vela.
i did it because i was torn between savra and teysa for my first edh deck, and then when i had made 3 decks in a week realized i needed to limit myself some how or i'd have hundreds of these things. its been a girls only club since sometime in 2009.
i hate it.
the local shop does it and i feel as if they've lost a good deal of players as a result.
it either comes down to playing a really heavy aggro deck, or loading up with combos. i don't enjoy piloting either type of deck and so i feel alienated. games are generally over quickly where either we swing/combo on our turn, or our opponents do their very next turn. theres little to no sense of interaction.
its also really frustrating that no matter how you're randomly paired up the first thing your teammate asks is 'how many infinite combos do you run?' or to be told by your teammate to make less than optimal plays because they dont' want to lose one of their combo pieces so you sit there and do nothing all game.

i'm oddly seriously here. magic has been the perfect excuse to binge on junk food.

...it doesn't tap for mana.
edit: and the wording is way off.
