    i don't understand why some of the cards are on the banlist:
    painter's servant? recurring nightmare? really? they're pretty tame in normal EDH as it is.. I suspect that they just started from the EDH banlist as a start, and then just added stuff to it.

    And er... before anyone actually breaks it, put reset, early harvest, possibly even rude awakening on a watchlist. even a single mana-doubler in play can get quite out of hand fast. Also possibly bubbling muck.

    but yea, i'm reserving judgement before i knock off a couple of games of it though. I've got somewhat low expectations though.


    Those cards were already banned in edh. Seems hard for them to be pretty tame if they are not legal to play??

    Also, Cabal Therapist being the 80th card of the set directly contradict this theory. The new cards should be at least more than 80.


    That's not how card numbering works.


    That’s how card numbering worked for both conspiracy sets. New cards first then reprints.

  • posted a message on So how much money have you spent on Magic?
    Hummmmmm. Been playing since 1996. I would guess that I spent roughly $500-$1000 on the game per year. At a rough estimate over the last 23 years.

    I’ve sold out a few times. My collection is 10 years old at this point, and worth about $25,000 full market retail.

    Take from that what you will.

    Quote from Sanderover »
    Thanks for the info!

    The benefit of these lands still eludes me, but I see a small advantage to it, so you can play permanents that require 2 colors like Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God



    Guildgate always enter the battlefield tapped. Hallowed fountain can enter untapped for two life.

    Guildgate do not have a basic land type. Hallowed fountain has basic land type island and plains.

    There are many cards that allow you to search your deck for an island card and put it into play.

    I can use these cards or effects to search out a hallowed fountain and put it onto the battlefield, untapped. Guild gates do not have this functionality.

    These are the reasons(discounting rarity) that people search for hallowed fountains and throw out guild gates.

    The more competitive the game your playing, the more important “shock” lands are(hallowed fountain deals 2 damage if it enters untapped, shocking you”

  • posted a message on Arcades - very first commander deck advice
    I have an arcadees deck. I have many fewer creatures then you do. I would recommend cutting some for interaction and mana ramp as others have said.

    Here’s my list for inspiration.

    I haven't. I think we should be good.

    Also, opinions on Spark Double?


    I got tracking today.

    Spark double seems like a no brainer auto include. i havent tested it yet, waiting for war mythic to come in b4 i make swaps.
    I was thinking of trying a lot though.
    I want to try
    ashiok
    bolas
    JtMS
    spark double
    comand the dread horde
    elderspell
    deliver unto evil
    karns bastion.
    i also want to get a copy of teferi's protection.

    List is tight though. The only stuff I can really see as being replaceable is the countermagic and the 2cmc library manipulation enchantments.

    Any suggestions on cuts?

    http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/urza-head-pimp-and-his-bottom-*****es/

    Here's some cards I'd look to cut:



    I think you should try adding Samut to your deck. With doubling season it is insanely gross. Have you ever paid 4 mana to draw 14 gain 14 and put 14 permanents into play? It’s nutted.

    I did cut a bunch of the other cards you mentioned.
    Her ultimate is good, don't get me wrong, but that's literally the only interaction where she's good: with doubling season. It's waaay too limited in my opinion.

    I agree. But it’s litterally a two card win the game combo. Her narrowness does not matter when you win the game every time you resolve both.

    Anyone else get a WAR: Mythic Edition? Got myself a copy, fortunately.

    I did. Got the congratulations email and all. No shipping yet though. Which is worrisome. Have you received a shipping notice?

    I kind of wont believe I got it till it’s in my hands.

    How does everyone feel about Honor-Worn Shaku?

    Mehhhhhhhhhhh. It’s colorless and it’s only busted if we have 4 or more walkers out. It’s seems much worse then other mana rocks, unless we are already winning.

    It is super cute though.

    Definitely not happening, though,


    Indeed. If its happened this many times...its intentional.


    It will keep happening. Although they botched it all 3 times the amount of people who wanted this and tried to buy it is Proof of concept.

    The low print run is the killer here. Expect more mythic editions with small print runs so we all kill each other and give hasbro another 3 million in 5 minutes.

    Welp as of today

    Me and my brother are in the clear they are on the way for us

    Did you get a shipping notice?

    I assume they won't be shipping out until at least saturday. They have a lot of clean up and confirmation before printing and labeling all their packages. I assume they will come in by next week's FNM, which would be nice as I run 2x Jace in my Blue Moon. Smile


    Shipping is Monday-Wednesday. Of course it’s estimated but yea. You should be able to flex on fools next week.

    I am a confirmed order. Did it on my phone(lucky!)

    Time stamp is 303 pm. There were 4000 and change units sold when I was given confirmation.

    I then sweat for a day and half until i got the good email last night.

    No shipping yet.

    So it’s not that it’s a garbage product it’s that you can’t afford it.
    Yeah, I'm sure that's what it is. Do you also enjoy paying exorbitant fees for a cable television package when all you really want are a few channels? Because that's exactly what the Mythic Edition is. It's a bundle of things nobody actually wants together. Are you a collector? Cool, here's an extra $100 fee for a bunch of loose WAR packs you don't actually want. Neato.

    The reason I'm upset is because when WotC announced they'd be putting the Masterpiece series on hiatus, I assumed that to mean it would eventually return under it's old form. If WotC considers the Mythic Edition to be a continuation of the Masterpiece series (as evidenced by the fact the cards say "Masterpiece" on them) then yes, I'm very disappointed because it means we'll likely never see Expeditions/Inventions/Invocations again in standard packs. That's a shame, because those were a good idea that with a few minor tweaks could have been great. Instead we got this cash-grab nonsense that only benefits scalpers.


    Cool cool cool you want to play the lottery. Have fun opening packs looking for specific cards.

    Other then buying singles this is the best way to get high value singles to trade or sell and you pay a bargain price. I also get to draft with my friends in a no stakes environment.

    The masterpieces you want are bad for the game. They devalue all the cards in the set they come from. Do you really want to go back to Kaladesh and have lottery tickets, oh. Also all the Rares are worth a dollar because the masterpieces eat up all the value equity?
