About 4 years later than I thought it would sink (seeing the site bought by an Alabama based online gaming site? I mean....), but I'm still sad to see it die off.
As long as Reddit is unusable and Facebook is Facebook I'll probably hover around whatever is next.

There are cheaper options that do better stuff. -
Nov 16, 2007Galspanic posted a message on D'awww ShucksHonestly, you have given me fun projects to work on. That's worth a lot to me. When I look you up on Google I find all sorts of stories about the stuff you have dealt with and as many stories about how people in your neck of the woods (and elsewhere) think you are great. You look me up and you find nothing except fprmer students on myspace complaining about what an ahole I am.... So, enjoy it man.Posted in: PolarBearGod Blog

1 mana vs. 2 mana is huge for burn spells and I can't imagine either seeing play when Forked Bolt is legal. Except, that instant speed "kill 2" for 1 seems solid enough against a ton of decks, and the "kill a Delver" is great against a lot of other decks.
Not too excited about this as a Pauper set, but I also see the potential for some of the cards working their way into more thematic decks, so that's cool.
There are some cards I can't figure out like that. Forcefield is the perfect card to be worth a lot - and $100 is. But in the 6-7 years I've owned the card it's gone from ~$100 to ~$120. I would have tracked it alongside other sought after old cards for Cube and EDH.
Gate to Pyrexia is another one. It's actually gone down since I picked up my copy 6-7 years ago. For ****'s sake, it's about the only way black can remove enchantments completely violating contemporary color pie. It's not amazing, but for B and UB EDH decks I would expect ~some~ demand.
In the land of Blood Moon Modern and the realization that color screwing your opponents is powerful, you'd think Cyclopean Tomb would be worth more than $20. Moreover you might be surprised to know that it's lost 33% of its value in the last few years. What?
A card I know first hand is utter trash, despite feeling like it should be amazing is Willow Satyr. It was $15 then $25, and then it's back down to $12ish. Based on playability, that makes a lot of sense. People bought into it, realized it's junk, and jumped ship. But it's still a card with enough demand in EDH that I would expect it to command Land Equilibrium/In the Eye of Chaos prices. If the madness we see with old barely playable Legends rares holds true, it should go up.
Finally, I'd like to point out that Quarum Trench Gnomes is more valuable than a lot of played cards on the reserve list because [shake shake shake] reasons.
I just looked and it looks like City of Solitude is already going up.
I have a bad feeling Eternal Masters is going to cause chaos with the MTG market.
Opalescence
Donate
Second Chance (This is the one I could see heading up once people get stars in their eyes about cheap free turns that can be chained with Sun Titan)
Lifeline
Recurring Nightmare (If unbanned in CMD this thing will sky rocket and there's talk that it could be)
Corpse Dance ($2.50? What??)
Infernal Tribute (One of the only "sac a permanent" cards in the game)
City of Solitude (Similar to Hall of Gemstone)
Bubble Matrix
Tombstone Stairwell (With so much self-mill I am shocked this isn't played more. I think people maybe don't see that it's each turn and not your turn )
Etc (I ran out of time)
The playability part is, yes, because in theory it hoses 2+ color decks. In practice it's a minor annoyance and rarely does what you want it to (a.k.a why it was $1.00).
(at least it's not as bad as most of them)
