Apr 12, 2014Tanro posted a message on JOU Digest 2: Cats, Storms and SpearsAjanni's Ultimate is so bad. It does nothing to help you win the game. Whooo 100 life. So what. I guess it would work as a win con in a control deck with elixir of immortality. Still not a win con.Posted in: Articles

It was too clunky, and required you to splash blue in Big Boros, which was a bad deck itself. You would usually be dead before you could live the dream. Aside from that, I did at one point manage to put a gift of orzhova on boros reckoner, and make a billion life with boros charm. Still lost the game to milling out before I could get lethal on my opponent.
That is pretty hard to believe. We usually let people just drop out of that FNM if it is a first time offense at my shop. Especially if someone has reported themself, we issue a game loss, let them correct the situation and move on.
Me. Go play yu-gi-oh and tell me how special your LOB 1st Edition foil Monster Reborn is since it was almost immediatly put into a pre-con as a non foil common. And then nearly every pre-con after, until they banned it or something.
I can tell you that that 147$ is not far from what my store pays. I can't tell you the dollar amount because of contract stipulations, but that is pretty dang close. We sell packs for 10$ and Boxes for 220@ and make about 68$ A box (at the 220$ rate) after you consider taxes. We don't add sales tax at the register because it makes it easier for customers to do math in their heads when buying singles.
We don't buy yu-gi-oh collections for value for this reason. We have yu-gi-oh. But it is a very small section, and we have to look stuff up every time we make a sale. It sucks and I wish the owner would get out of it. But it makes a small profit.
Now... I think the main problem is their rampant overprinting of really good cards in pre-cons and as commons. It has entirely killed the value for foil versions.
So I think wizards really needs to address this in some way, but bumping rares down to commons is bad, unless the rares are just not that great and you need to fill out a set for draft.
However, the do need address event decks. Even decks should be playable out of the box. Contain 4 ofs, not 2 and 3 ofs. 4 ofs.
Not really. I spent 200$ on a box because they couldn't refund it after placing the order, got ~107$ in value. ******* comet storm and tezzeret. In my store it has been basically this break down per case.
1 Amazing box 3-5 mythics, good value from mythics and rares, few chases uncommons.
2 Mediocre Boxes 150-200$ Value.
2 Crap boxes 75-149$ Value.
I mean no joke, one guy got opened the box in front of us. Pulled a comet storm, foil comet storm, no other mythics, and only 1 good rare. So at least mine wasn't the worst box. We had a bunch 4 drafts fire at midnight thursday, 12 friday, then 4 saturday, and only 1 today.
Only 1 draft saturday had more value in the box than MSRP. We are ditching the remainder of our boxes on ebay. No one wants to buy them.
Yeah, I would sell one goyf, grab the moxes in that case.
Burn can do turn 3 wins with a god hand. It is more controlling in match ups where you need that. You get access to white sideboard hate, blood moon etc.
Of course there is the problem of the bad matchup with Collected Company decks now. I don't know how well affinity matches up against those. I would hope it is better than burn. Because I am putting together Affinity (Robots) slowly just because I miss the real affinity deck that was once legal in standard.
Need to get this crap under control.
Yeah that is what I was thinking, But the other judge read the card and got something way different. He started trying to explain layers, and I was just like it isn't that hard in this case. I know what layers are, and how they affect the game state, this doesn't care about them in this instance. It just looks once at the beginning of the endstep, sees an artifact, say okay were good and doesn't trigger.
That is the print version that was in question. I guess it would have been easier to look up the most recent errata.
Glimmervoid
In my second main phase I tap Blinkmoth Nexus then animate it. Creating an artifact creature man-land.
My friend reasons that glimmervoid will check to see if you control an artifact at the end of the end step. I reason that it only checks to see if you have an artifact at the beginning of the end step. Who is correct?
I know there very few 3 toughness creature commonly played in modern. And Volcanic fallout would pump any monastery swiftspears on our board, preventing it from being killed. Maybe this is why we prefer fallout?
