Relisting an order that was canceled does not make the supply exceed 12000. At best you can say I misspoke; the supply is limited to 12000.

That's interesting. A digital queue would probably be effective at fixing the sales counter and it would fix the PayPal overload.

I do think it would just create a new point in the system for people to complain about though. It would probably cut back on complaints in total though since we wouldn't be seeing this 42k number thrown around, the relisting, and other purchase related complaints. Likely we'd only be seeing "I didn't get into the queue despite being told I was in the queue", but that's probably not as bad? I don't know.

Any time there's a limited supply like this I'm surprised when people think that everyone is supposed to be satisfied.

Hasbro did not list more than 12000 items. the eBay counter just tracked 42k unique clicks on the buy it now button. This is not a Hasbro issue, this is an eBay issue.

As far as not being able to cancel orders, they only have 12000 boxes. Should they just keep all the money even though they cannot fill the orders? Of course not, so they should refund the people and notify them. They aren't getting more product, it was very clearly stated that "once it's gone, it's gone".

It's very likely that that counter does not decrement when orders are canceled. This is likely because rushes on a limited product like this are rare and a the metric matters even more infrequently.

The 32k you saw (the 42k I saw) are very likely the number of orders that came in in total and not the actual amount sold. I would trust the official announcement from WotC more than some ticker on eBay.

It honestly just depends on what point in the sale the ticker ticks up. On clicking "buy it now"? Clicking the payment button? When they actually receive the payment? When they finally ship the box to the consumer? Which one makes the most sense? They can cancel even paid orders right up until they ship you the product, so are they even sold until then? You can make a reasonable assumption, but it is also reasonable to assume that clicking "buy it now" will result is a sale. Where do you think it was actually taking count? My guess is that it was taking count on the "buy it now" button, which is probably pretty accurate in 99% of situations, but this was not part of that 99%.

@eBay savvy users
Sooo... post Mythic Edition run. I have one question.

I got my brother to lend me his account for this so I should be okay trying to get 2 and 2.
On my account I have 1 paid, and 1 pending.
On his account I can see 2 paid for in his PayPal but nothing in his eBay for purchases.

Do I have 1, 2, 3, or 4 mythic editions?

This was pretty wild...

This is probably fair. /s

I guess we'll see where it goes, but I won't be surprised when WotC does anything from an emergency ban to say it's "on their radar" for a year straight.

I know deck threads typically talk about improving rough matches, but I'd like to take a moment to ask about a deck I've been doing incredibly well against.

I've been running Whir Prison over every time I see it with Echoing Truth in junction with Unmoored Ego. It completely rips out their lock pieces with no recourse. Since they don't really do much to put a clock on us in the early game I've been able to set this up pretty easily and remove the one or two things that are stopping me from winning.

Has anyone else been using this to fight anything else? Is this something other people are doing? Is anyone else looking for a new angle to try?
Following that, is there a play pattern that's aided you against any deck in particular that you don't see often?

This is what I've been running, I know it's a bit different.

Being unbeatable in the late game feels like a weird statement to a control player, it's literally the goal of the deck to create an insurmountable advantage.

Multiple ebay accounts with multiple shipping addresses. But as a long time seller myself, if I see something fishy, I can cancel the order outright for anyone I feel I don't want to ship to for any reason.

In the words of Matt Mercer: you can certainly try.

So if I get my brother to let me use my card on his eBay account, does the seller see the name on the card?

I am also very excited for Kefnet, but I think I'll keep the Red. Being able to get back a countered Kefnet or "Miracle" a Kommand off him is going to be some really good value.

I love the way the x4 Hieroglyphic Illumination likely plays with Kefnet as well. I assume the copy of Murderous Cut can abuse Delve, right? These are just really good looking includes.

Supreme Will seems like an odd choice, but I suppose you're abusing the modal to get deck sift? Dimir Charm seems odd as well. No Damnation? I think I enjoy the silly interaction of getting to Damnation for BB just to replay the god a few turns later like nothing happened... And still keep your Damnation.

If you're going to put in 2 Jace and 3 Kefnet, why not a single Nexus of Fate or Time Warp? Get infinite turns for 3UU or 1UU respectively. Seems like a fair finisher for establishing such a board state.

How does the miracle discount interact with Thalia? If I flip a Kommand with a Thalia in play, does it cost 1RB or RB? EDIT: I found the answer. It would cost RB; Thalia's rulings says it all.

I'm banking pretty hard on Counterspell being printed. Honestly, if that's all they print that's worth playing then I'll be incredibly happy. I strongly think the card has more game than some people give it credit for.

I think Hymn is way strong. Brainstorm and Ponder would almost 100% require another cantrip to be banned; I just think we're already at a critical mass of them (if not too many) and adding the more powerful ones is not something WotC should want to be doing unless it cuts out a bunch of the others. It just plays too much into Xerox decks.

With some of the cards in WAR, I think they're going to be fairly bold with Horizons. Veto is blatantly in white, so is new Teferi. I think their printing will position white as the anti-control control to keep non-white control in check so they can print something like Baleful Strix in Horizons. Just a theory and a hope.

They did say in the article that they will be using the Hasbro eBay.

I'm only curious how you get past the "2 per person" limit.

A seller on eBay can very easily cancel any order from any buyer for any reason.

I meant more "how do I get 4?"

They literally say "Masterpiece" on them, but the article for their announcement does call it a "Mythic Edition".

Frustrating, to say the least.

What land are you dropping for it? Or rather what does your mana base look like?

I certainly like the symmetry it can break if you find yourself in that situation.
