    Now...I haven't read through each post but these FTVs always have a card that's never been foiled. I'm hoping to see a foil Seraph.

    Hello,

    I have a bunch of revised Miscuts cards, several of which are connecting pairs. There is nothing spectacular here and the best card is most likely the Animate Dead. I was wondering if I could get some info on the value of these:

    First the pairs (the Ivory Cup and Wall of Bones don't pair up. Not sure why they're in these first pics):

    //s1209.photobucket.com/user/thewindago/media/Miscutsconntectionsback001_zps0374ec64.jpg.html">"/>

    Now for the rest:

    So, if I recall correctly it was stated not including normal foils in the last run of commander decks was an issue that should be corrected...Doesn't look like that is changing at all...

    Quote from gmax666
    Hmm just now realized something. Why is it that Azorius gets two promos (not counting prerelease promos)? Dimir got bab Nightveil Specter, Selesnya got gd Dryad Militant, Rakdos got gd Cryptborn Horror, Boros got gd Firemane Avenger, Simic got gd Zameck Guildmage. They should have gave one of the other guilds a chance for a promo since there is still going to be gameday promos for Dragon's Maze but that still leaves out Golgari Orzhov Gruul :izzet:.

    Now given that information I'm going to call the gameday promos for Dragon's Maze is going to be Orzhov & Gruul


    Isn't Call of the Conclave getting FNMed too? There is always plenty of room for FNM promos for the next year and a halfish.

    For EDH players Grandeur would be awful. Every Legend that had it would have a useless ability. I don't like it at all...And I thought I read somewhere, not sure where, that whenever a Legend is made they try to design it to be somewhat EDH playable. Grandeur would just be a dead machanic for that format. I understand that having multiples of a Legend in your hand in other formats does suck but eh...Disappointing. I really don't want this to every be printed again.

    What would make sense, if this is a Gods theme, would be Offering.

    Other fun things I like to see back sometime soon:

    Buyback (This won't come back soon since it is graveyard based)
    Cycling/Typecycling
    Devour
    Entwine
    Fateseal
    Kicker/Multikicker
    Level Up

  • posted a message on What do you want from Theros?
    Were the Eldrazi viewed as "Gods" by anyone? If they have eaten other worlds would it be possible that stories may have traveled via other Walkers or Omniscient beings of the past and perhaps they are worshiped on other Planes?

    I'm not suggesting an Eldrazi appearance on Theros but just looking at them as a possible example of other Gods' power level.

    Really hoping this has a Legendary Subtheme and we get one hell of the Pantheon. That's really my hope. Not in a Kamigawa level but just some nice EDH fuel.

    Pretty sure this is the correct forum for this.

    I haven't the slightest idea how to properly price foreign cards, especially Foil ones, and I'm not having much luck finding proper price guides either. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas how much the following cards would be worth if they exist in the following languages:

    Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind (Chinese Foil)
    Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind (German Foil)
    Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind (Italian Foil)
    Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind (Korean Foil)
    Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind (Japanese Foil)
    Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind (Russian Foil)
    Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind (Spanish Foil)
    Any other languages I may have missed?

    Also Dracogeniuses in any language other than English also Foil would be great info too!

    Thank you for your time.

  • posted a message on the death of legacy?
    Quote from UnderwaterGuy
    SCG does not have any Modern opens planned. They said that in this very thread.

    Even if they did though, it isn't the end of the world and you are giving them WAY too much credit. Don't be afraid of scg messing up how you enjoy magic; they aren't capable of it. (unless you exclusively play at scg events or something crazy)


    Right before SCG started doing Legacy hard body they bought up massive amounts of Legacy staples. Then they started running Legacy opens and jacking up the priced of all of the Legacy staples. Seems like they could try the same with Modern if they wanted to.

    So...If SCG cuts many Legacy tournament in support of Modern or any other format, and the price of Legacy drops, SCG will be responsible for the rise and fall of it's popularity all in the matter of a couple of years?

    Ug...Then they will pull the same strings with Modern and people will fall for it. Buy up all of the Modern staples and hold weekly high money Modern tournaments, jack up the prices and repeat. Making it a format for players only willing to drop absurd amounts of money into the game. And they will primarily be controlling the market, like with Legacy, because they will be holding the majority of the tournaments. Is there no other company with the guts to stand up to this and hold higher end tournaments more regularly? Get some competition going. It can only strengthen the game.

    Wizards can also stop this from happening again. I understand not reprinting Legacy staples because it would upset many long time players. But reprint the crap out of Modern staples just give us some breathing room. This is why I'm stoked about the Shocklands getting another "printing/release" in Dragon's Maze.

    Quote from Slivortal
    While this is correct, I think the OP was trying to say that you can trigger Extort when you cast spells off of the Cipher trigger, which is a valid synergy.


    Haha! Yeah. Reread it and fiugred it out and deleted my response.

  • posted a message on Isnt Gideon suppose to be getting help?
    Quote from Calmar
    Perhaps people do not believe him, or are simply not willing to divert their attention and ressources to a distant problem?
    Maybe he's like the scientists who has discovered an asteroid on collision course, or a hostile extraterrestial force, but whom the governments do not take seriously. Grin


    So pretty much any Roland Emmerich movie.

    Anywho! If there is no literature yet he could be trying to do many things. Is he aware that Jace is also on Ravnica and that Jace was not only on Zendikar when the Spawn hit the fan but is one of the few responsible? (Whether Gideon knows that or not I'm unsure. Whether Jace even knows I am unsure too. Not a story expert but I do eat this stuff up!)

    Hopefully Dragon's Maze won't just be about Niv's schemes but what Gideon is trying to accomplish as well.

    It is awful. The abomination that takes up over 1/3 of the screen makes using the site difficult. Can't advanced search or view articles properly. Roll the cursor over the card name to view it and if the link isn't at the top of the now smaller viewer space it gets cut off. It makes me want to throw my monitor at a wall...Terrible change.

    Does the oldest store hold sanctioned events through WPN? If not then look into that for help getting what the store is lacking.
