Xcric posted a message on June drops Secret lair dropsreally like that olvia mobilized for war, and the volkan baga one looks like really good value too.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
hate all the arts for the queen marchesa one, really do not like this artists style.
wondering how long it'll be before 3 cards becomes the norm for these things since we're now apparently down to just 4. hate this sales model more and more. -

mtgartgallery posted a message on June drops Secret lair drops(sigh) I guess having more than 4 cards in a Secret Lair is the exception now. Also, their choices for "Rule the Room" are disappointing to say the least. This would've been a great opportunity to include Korvold or Sedris (both with "King" in their name), but instead we get Arcanis?! Really?Posted in: The Rumor Mill
It's amazing how good they at keeping these within the $30 range in value. God forbid a Secret Lair drop actually being a good value. -

TheOnlyOne652089 posted a message on [40K] [2X2] Warhammer 40k and Double Masters 2022 Prebeat — Weekly MTG previewsLike always, buy singles.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
The reprints make the cards cheaper, which directly makes this product "cheaper" in terms of value, but at the same time, its more expensive then ever due to price increases and WotC milking players.
Its so much product in such a short time, its just too much for people for quite a lot of people.
That does not mean some cards are enjoyable, they sure are, the entire issue is simply the massive product fatigue and enjoying it all, already starts to cost you so much, it becomes problematic for cost reasons alone (its like WotC is hell bent to find the breaking point of the community, when the moment kicks in that people simply rage quit from a addiction, surely has to be at some point).
I resort to singles, i wont touch any of these products, except the very few cards that i can clearly budget.

At least so far we havent seen a non-reprint card that will be important for constructed, so these cards as "casual" only cards and reprints are indeed skip-able.
Gets more ugly if we see something along the lines of Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and Urza's Saga.

WarMachinePrime posted a message on Kamigawa neon dynasty bundle box leakPosted in: The Rumor Millit's just not really a reasonable one.
NO wrong!!! It doesn't fit the subjective criteria for YOUR reasoning. It does fit the subjective criteria for MY reasoning. Hence it is "reasonable".
All opinions ARE equal as well. Some may be true or false if based in fact.
Why people can't grasp that other people have opinions on a subject is beyond me. We agree to disagree and move on. If you can't agree to disagree then that person indeed is the problem. Jeesh. -

WarMachinePrime posted a message on Kamigawa neon dynasty bundle box leakPosted in: The Rumor MillDoesn't seem like a worthwhile opinion on the style
False/incorrect. No, all opinion is "worthwhile". You disagree and that is fine but it does not invalidate my own opinion. We agree to disagree on the art and neither party invalidates the others opinion. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

but I'm bummed that the alt arts of the triomes just look so... Ugly. Even by this art style standards.
Like I dug the alt arts of the Ikoria triomes, and I know those were about embracing the weird nature of ikoria and these have to embrace city architecture // gang aesthetic, but they dont even seem... Picturesque or impressive in any way.

I for one appreciate ThyLordQ's attempts to quantify this in some realm as an estimate. I guess it does depend on the definition of "Early Access" and if that means early reservation or early shipped, but I'm not sure if we should approach this subscription series from the scalper angle (as it def would most likely be profitable in long term, even if short sale isn't), but from the average consumer who is buying it to get the cards and feel like the subscription savings make the subscription worth it.
But again, all these numbers will change, but with what data we got, not a bad spot to start conversations with.

Collage style art just feels strange on an MTG card
This does look like one of the silliest card arts I've ever seen in mtg outside of an un-set

Having sets or commander blocks around these (and I know the DnD set was announced forever ago) are just... They're replacing opportunities to print materials distinct to the lore of MTG. It just feels like Hasbro is trying to open as many cash cows through MTG without any interest in respecting MTG's lore, history, and the wants of its older players (though I'm sure they assume these cross promotions will generate more than enough new players that they can ignore complaints). And why wouldn't they? Corporations exist to generate profit, and clearly demand is meeting the crazy supply they're pushing out.
Maybe I'm just fatigued by MTG. There is always an announcement of something new every minute, an oversaturation of materials to the point where it's difficult to even reflect on the faults of a previous set or recent WOTC/Hasbro decisions and overall game impacts, and maybe I'm just now having a headache from it.

I hope this product is more than just 1 super powerful card per box and a bunch of jank.
Though, the last time commander at $40 (or less?) that had good reprint value felt like the 4 color commanders all those years ago. Though maybe it looks good now as the market value is so high for everything EDH now.

Very high cost to dig into your deck -- definitely feels more like for EDH decks than anything, or maybe some sort of late game option as playing it in the first four turns is not good for tempo. It's a bummer the lands reenter in tapped since the spell is so expensive to do anything.
Not bad for EDH tho.

However, for those saying it's this sets' Goyf, not sure if that's a good comparison -- Goyf is far more reliable and requires a lot less work to at least make it properly curve by turn 2 (and is always, at the very least, a 0/1).
But I can see people running it as a 1 or 2 of outside of suicide decks as a game finisher.
