ShiroeTheEnchanter posted a message on [Commander] [Answered] Can Hall of the Bandit Lord be used to pay the Commander tax to give the Commander haste?

I have a Commander that is just GWU with no colorless mana cost. After the Commander goes back to the commander zone for the first time, it has an additional tax of 2. Can I use Hall of the Bandit Lord to help pay part of the commander tax to give the Commander haste going forward?

ShiroeTheEnchanter posted a message on Ultimate Masters & Box Topper Promos + PSA regarding sealed Box Topper Boosters

Most of us here are players, not collectors/investors. I no longer have sympathy for stores who base most of their revenue on singles. That business model is slowly becoming not sustainable. Most of these singles high prices are for non-Standard formats, and that player pool is not going to expand rapidly. MTG singles business is becoming a "low-volume, high profit" which is like a luxury good. Cardboard gaming should not turn into a luxury good.

A card game doesn't need strong secondary market monetary value to stay alive. The game needs to be fun and supported. Pokemon and YuGiOh are still alive after 10+ years, and they have higher reprint frequencies. People are obviously still buying their stuff, because if sales weren't meeting the manufacturer's expectations, neither card game would still be alive.

Quote from Narlix the Blue »

you are not wizards target audience at all. Wizards wants someone drafting a couple times a week and playing standard /modern/ commander/ legacy once a week in that order, . you dont care about value because you don't really have any value, its easy to say screw it when you dont have skin in the game . lets go back to crucible for a bit . say your average LGS had 4 in stock when m19 hit in that month following that store took a 174 dollar loss on those cards , your average LGS is running a couple hundred black or red, 174 bucks is the difference normally between making a profit or a loss.

That $174 is on paper and unrealized until it is sold. If the card is too expensive, it will sit in their inventory and produce no revenue for them.

These days, if a LGS relies only on cards/sealed produce as revenue while their other costs rise (rent, etc.), that business would eventually go bankrupt. I see more and more LGSes turning into gaming cafes rather than just sell product. I think it's perfectly viable to sell product at a smaller profit margin as a driver to come to the store and buy other things or sit down and game and buy food.

The set is ok. They missed many opportunities to crash the price on stuff

Wizards will not crash prices. They cannot publicly acknowledge the secondary market, but it is evident by the way they handle their reprint equity that they do care about secondary market prices to some extent.

It's a card for Commander. It is a $4-$5 card currently, so it's not a chase card.

Another good hit. There have been only four misses at Rare so far (Stirring Wildwood, Lavaclaw Reaches, Visions from Beyond and Squee, Goblin Nabob) and two of those are in a cycle, so it's fine.
Can't wait to see the rest!

Wall of Reverence as well.

This is pretty good but it's no Dreadmaw.

But, it's also a $4-$5 rare. Not worth opening a $14 pack for.

ShiroeTheEnchanter posted a message on well it finally happened someone is selling a card for 100K

It might not sell at that price, but it does establish a data point for pricing. If something is pulling data on that card, the average and median prices will eventually skew upwards. This is slow movement to manipulate the market prices of that card.

Even Star City Games, one of the largest retailers in the U.S., is selling pre-order booster boxes below MSRP. It looks like everybody is expecting that most of the good cards have already been shown.

33% of the set will be good, 33% of the set will be middling (some value but not worth the pack price), and 34% will be junk ($1 or less). If WotC designed this for drafting, there will most certainly be chafe.

The best thing to do with an Enchanted Evening is to force a draw when you have Ajani's Chosen out. It creates an infinite loop that, when unanswered, lets the game end on the spot. It counts as a draw but it will feel like a win. At least it did for me the one time I pulled it off.

Have you thought about protecting yourself with Glacial Chasm/Delaying Shield + Solemnity? Solemnity also works well with Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle (if you got him from the precon).

Also a great card: Eidolon of Countless Battles. Doesn't even need that many Auras to be good.

Nylea's Colossus + Thassa, God of the Sea + Hydra Omnivore makes for good finishing combos as well.

And the obligatory Nyx-Fleece Ram shouldn't be left out. Everyone should have a sheep!

I think I prefer Enchanted Evening to power up my Tuvasa as a Voltron-style play. Enchanted Evening with a forced draw (or comboing with Cleansing Meditation) is a little "anti-social" for my tastes. I would only go as far as the Enchanted Evening + Aura Thief combo.

I had thought about Solemnity in conjunction with cards like Force Bubble and Decree of Silence, but Force Bubble isn't good by itself and Decree of Silence costs 8 mana normally.

I play ancestral mask, steel of the godhead, shield of the oversoul and spirit mantle. I know 2 for 1´s are painful, but in my opinion it´s worth the risk. Other nice auras to test could be bear umbra, aqueous form or ethereal armor.

Enchanted evening works really well with other cards in the deck, like sphere of safety or serra´s sanctum (and tuvasa the sunlit, of course;))

I have the four auras you mentioned. I will explore this route. I have to reconfigure my deck to be less focused on taxes and more about creatures.

Serra's Sanctum is out of my budget, and I am not interested in making proxies.

I had forgotten about Enchanted Evening affecting all permanents, including my land. Yeah, it would make Tuvasa super strong late game.

Thanks for the ideas!
