Quote from Mystic_X »Does this only add multiple mana if you have multiple mono-colored permanents which are different colors, or will this also add multiple mana of one color if you have multiple mono-colored permanents of the same color?

A small correction: a player gets priority first after casting a spell or activating an ability of theirs, or after taking a special action (e.g. turning a face-down creature face up with Morph or Disguise), no matter whose turn it is, then other players get priority in turn order. The active player gets priority first in every other situation.Quote from Mystic_X »Players gain priority to interrupt the stack after each spell (or ability) resolves if they want to add to the stack. The active player (the player whose turn it is) gains priority first. Once they pass, the remaining players gain priority in turn order. Note that a playerwhose turn it ismay respond to their own spell or ability immediately by stating "hold priority" so that others don't respond prematurely by assuming they're passing priority. Also note that if a spell on the stack has Split Second, players can't cast spells or activate abilities, but triggered abilities and copies of spells may still be added to the stack. For more info, see Rule 117
117.3c. If a player has priority when they cast a spell, activate an ability, or take a special action, that player receives priority afterward.

This honestly has to be the most underwhelming reprint set in...forever.
Aside from shocklands and cyclonic rift (which doesn't even have nice arts in my opinion), there's literally nothing worth opening.
Bruvac is alright, but very niche and will likiely tank since very few players gravitate towards mill decks.
T3feri is already selling below $10, and who doesn't already have a dark confidant playset or Lilianas?
Karn just got the ban-hammer, and as much as I love seeing Deathrite Shaman with retro border, it's also banned anywhere I'd want to play it.
Cloudstone Curio got bumped up to mythic? Why?
I'm not sure what I expected from this set, but given the card pool, packs and boxes should be half the price they're currently marked up at.
Maybe the draft format will be fun for those who can afford and enjoy the gamble, but this seems like a much worse set than all the other "remastered" and "masters" sets in recent years.

Looks more like Swarovski crystal.
The lead is what causes life loss.

I also like collector's vault, might have to find room for it in my Daretti, Scrap Savant commander deck.

If LGSs didn't crack open boxes prior to the prerelease date, how could they possibly know what inventory they'll have for singles preorders?
Personally, I miss the good ol' days before internet spoilers, the hype that goes with them, and presales because I can't help but feel they ruined the magic (pardon the pun) of the discovery process and what the secondary market would value cards at when they were first discovered upon release back in the 90's (and we had to rely on Scrye and The Duelist magazines). However, since spoilers and preorder sales will never go away at this point, I often feel I have to jump on that wagon to compete with other hungry consumers because not doing so would put me at an inherent disadvantage against others who do as secondary market prices take shape and fluctuate in the first weeks, however fickle they may be.
Also, as a customer of a different location, it makes me very happy to know that F2F Games helped facilitate this unique discovery as they are the best MTG retailer I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with. Congratulations to all who were indirectly involved, and especially to the lucky player who found the ring!

Huh? I don't understand your conspiracy theory.
If a store owner or employee opened it, why would they need someone else to act as a "finder"?
Are you under the impression store owners can't open merchandise they've already paid for and own, or that store employees aren't allowed to buy packs which are for sale to anyone who wants to purchase them for personal use?
Also, why would the owner of the card have to reveal where they bought the booster pack with said card?
It's not as if the retail store would be entitled to a percentage of the winnings the same way retailers who sell a winning 6/49 or Lotto Max ticket are. As such, they're entitled to remain anonymous should they choose to.
I know that in Ontario (and some other provinces), employees of casinos and the provincial lottery corporations such as the OLG and Lotto Quebec aren't allowed to gamble in their province, but that conflict of interest rule doesn't even apply here because booster packs of cards aren't technically lottery tickets, even if they can potential yield similar profits. Furthermore, while lottery tickets can't be purchased with credit cards, packs of Magic cards can be and are all the time. Gambling winnings are also tax-free in Canada, so at most they would only have to pay a capital gains tax once the card is sold, and even then the seller and buyer can circumvent that tax by "gift exchanging" each other the card and check without producing a record of sale. They could even do it in another country where Revenue Canada doesn't have jurisdiction since only domestic income is taxable in Canada unlike the USA where residents have to report and pay income tax on all international income (unless they're a Canadian citizen who already filed and paid income tax to Revenue Canada tax due to a tax treaty to avoid double taxation).

Lots of funny, jealous, and ignorant comments below the article

Think about it...
If you created two sets of armor and two shields from Secret Lair cards, only one of each made of halo foils, which do you honestly think will refract light to blind your opponents and protect you more in battle?
Conclusion: Essentially, what you always want are foils!

True, but if they did, they'd have to alter the name to "Undead Ronin", and switch the flavor text to "It has the strength of seven samurai..."

Flavor Fail!
