That's what I was thinking - Paradox Engine requires so much outside the box thinking to work. You'd need to be playing it in a deck that ramps, for example. Given that high cost of inclusion, the ban caught me off guard as well. Now that Paradox Engine is banned, there's really no point in playing cards like Sol Ring or Birds of Paradise anymore, which'll please the folks who don't like fast mana.
I don't see it that way. It requires a deck that runs mana-artifacts. I generally tend to stay truer to land ramp, (since artifacts are sometime collateral damage), but many non-green decks will run at least a handful of artifact ramp.
From there, it's not hard to see how any sort of tap ability, especially if your Commander has a tap ability, could lead to a powerful amount of value.
Code PROMO3 will get you $3 off any purchase of $3.01 or more on eBay. Good way to get something small for nearly free. Good till 11:59 pm Pacific on the 17th, so you’ve got a few days to use it.
Was able to pick up a Pashalik Mons foil for $2.85 for my foiled out Krenko deck, 45% cheaper than the current cheapest price on TCGP.
And you didnt read the points on why its a premium type set.
Modern Horizons - 24 cards over $7.00
War of the Spark - 13 cards over $5.00
Modern Horizons - approx set value $575
War of the Spark - approx set value $287
Plus you get the Bonuses (Tokens, Art series, Full Art Snow Land) NOT included in the value adjustment
Either buy it or don't
Comparing pre-release prices to that of a set that’s been out for 5 weeks is an invalid comparison. Pre-sale prices always run high, this is common knowledge.
EDIT: nvm. That seems like an awkward thing to put in the mail.... How exactly does that work? And do people cut these or are these glorified posters... Sorry, never even knew these existed. (other than of course during print process)
They ship rolled up in a poster tube, and yes, they do tend to be nothing more than posters, albeit expensive, highly collectible posters. And yes, some people do attempt to cut them, in fact there is a term for cards such as those: NFC, which stands for Non-factory cut, and they tend to be worth less than factory cut cards bc its very difficult to duplicate factory cut cards. Also, most NFC’s tend to be from much older sets, bc newer cards are cheaper and most importantly much easier to come by so there is little reason to cut up a sheet of them.
PERKS4ME is still a valid code. It doesn’t expire on 4/29, it expires at 11:59 PM Pacific on 5/2.
I was able a few minutes ago able to pick up a Wilderness Reclamation foil for $9.25 after applying the coupon. Cheapest current price on TCGPLAYER is $13.64.
Why in the introduction to this write up does it say this is a weekly series (not once, but twice), and here we are on April 7th, 14 weeks into the year, and there’s been a grand total of 3 of these in 2019? These don’t even happen frequently enough to be considered monthly, let alone weekly.
The comment you’re replying to was 100% sarcasm.
