    Actually TES and Dredge are doing quite well right now since TNN slowed down the format.

    I really don't understand playing for a draw....

    How do you do that? slow play the heck out of game 1 until you go to time?
    Are you talking about a game 3 scenario and slow playing that to time?

    Quote from World_Peace »
    The fetch lands, like the shock lands, aren't tied to any one plane. A hallowed fountain could be on Dominaria, Innistrad, Alara, or anywhere else you want to put it, same with a misty rainforest. I also expect the fetches to be reprinted next Fall, but the plane of Zendikar is dead by this point.


    Except that they did go back to Ravnica to reprint shock lands....

    I wouldn't use MTG Salvations for any gauge for the health of legacy. Its exactly because of bull***** derailment of threads by modern fan boys the state of legacy that cause these endless trolling against legacy players in this site that has resulted in massive bannings of legacy players. Most of us have left salvation after being treated as second class citizens.

    The price of dual lands have almost shot up 75% 100% across the board because modern players can cashing their newly inflated trade equity and acquiring legacy cards. Ask any vendors at multi format events and thats the answer you get.

    MTGS =/= Legacy


    That said, TNN was hit hard by the "fixing" of the commander print by essentially doubling the number of mind seize copies over the other commander decks.

    Demand is being met for now. But long terms this card is $50 and short term its $16

    Flaming of any kind towards anyone is not tolerated on MtGS. Infraction Issued -Rai

    Selling the business may not be the right decision either. Can/Will she get a job? The problem isn't the business itself, but maybe self management.

    My advice is to get a professional business coach, or she she join a business association to get outside assistance. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you don't run a business yourself. So maybe your advice isn't the best.

    Wizards sucks with technology. Have you seen MTGO?

    *sigh*

    Actually its a real PAPER contract that prevents you from cheating. I encourage review of the DCI penalty guidelines and other documents that you have consented to be under when you signed up for you DCI membership. Included is the rules that allows your opponent to shuffle your deck.

    Please drop the "social contract" stretch, its getting silly.

    Wow

    Please don't make things up to suit "your personal definitions"

    "In moral and political philosophy, the social contract or political contract is a theory or model, originating during the Age of Enlightenment, that typically addresses the questions of the origin of society and the legitimacy of the authority of the state over the individual.[1] Social contract arguments typically posit that individuals have consented, either explicitly or tacitly, to surrender some of their freedoms and submit to the authority of the ruler or magistrate (or to the decision of a majority), in exchange for protection of their remaining rights. The question of the relation between natural and legal rights, therefore, is often an aspect of social contract theory. The Social Contract (Du contrat social ou Principes du droit politique) is also the title of a 1762 book by Jean-Jacques Rousseau on this topic."

    CHEATING is against the rules, not any "social contract"

    Social Contract is a term that reference the aggreement between citizen and state. Where one agrees to be goverened.

    There is no "social contract" of not cheating. Cheating is explicitly an attempt to defraud, steal, con.

    Only on salvations can you turn a simple rule as shuffling your opponents deck into 5 page rant of forum posters attacking each others.

    Its in the rules fellas. There is no debate or discussions unless its about your own "feelings" of the rules. Buts then its just that, your own feelings.

    If you don't own any pieces of the deck. Titan Valakut isn't any less expensive because of the 9 fetchlands.

    I run 3 scalding tarn, 2 Verdant and 4 Misty

  • posted a message on Judge foil Force of Will
    Legacy is dead, why would anyone spend $1000 on a FoW? (j/k)

    The comment regarding snap buying at $235, I would be all over that too. What does that mean?
    It probably means mentally we all know that this card is easily north of $500.
    SDCC planeswalkers only got more expensive when it became clear how hard it would be to obtain them.

    Force of Will is the "Flagship" card of legacy, not Jace.

    TNN didn't kill Maverick, it was "dead" for 2+ years before printing of TNN.

    Miracles did a real job on maverick too, but GSZ was a tool that could be used to play around counter balance, gaddock teeg protected by mom made sure that board wipes couldn't be cast. Stoney silence and phyrexian Revoker did a great job of turning off Top.

    The real card that killed Maverick was Deathrite Shaman. Lands in the graveyard no longer stayed in graveyards to buff a huge knight, but instead was food for Deathrite.

    Let's get that one right.
