Thank you everyone. Basically the more copies of rares there were, the more likely my friends would hop on. So rare copies in the millions is exactly what I was hoping for.
I have a group of 6 friends who are somewhat interested in playing magic. I have been in the game for a while and have managed to get my work group into the lore of MTG. They would like to learn how to play but are somewhat reluctant to take the leap in. They want to make sure they are getting into a popular game.
As we all know, Magic is popular (consider Pre-releases, and Magic Fests, and sales), and I have told them as much. But they wanted to know about a piece of information that I was clueless about. So I will pose it to you all and hopefully we can get a rough estimate:
GLOBALLY, ABOUT HOW MANY ENGLISH COPIES OF A STANDARD RARE AND MYTHIC RARE EXIST IN CIRCULATION?
Obviously I had no idea, but i know it is a large number and it had to do something with the number of boxes sold. My "uneducated guess" that there were about 50,000 copies of any particular Guilds of Ravnica rare card (such as assassin's trophy) floating around on planet Earth, either in decks or on the market, with a little more coming in each day until it rotates out of standard. I know it is not a perfect answer, but i confess that it was only a wild guess.
I am hoping somebody on here can help shed some light on this topic if possible.
I hope you are ready. charnel troll has been hiding in the shadows these past few months with no real deck to call home. But mark my words, that is about to change.
With ravnica allegiance, most believe that only 5 new decks will be added to the meta (Simic, rakdos, orzhov, gruul, and azorius). In reality, the existence of all ten shock lands enables all ten 3-colors to enter standard (5 shards and 5 wedges).
Let’s all give a warm welcome to JUND!
I am not gonna post a decklist but I will post a line of play:
charnel troll is $0.50 at the time of this post but not for long lol.
You have been warned Per Standard forum rules, until the spoiler is complete, spoiled cards are to be discussed in New Card Discussion.
