    Not adding "phyrexian" to the most relevant, powerful Sphinx ever made for EDH it's the worst mistake they could ever do. Not to mention the flavor fail. We can't be hostage of absurd niche reprints, this actively hurts future gameplay for any tribal phyrexian deck.


    i don't agree here.

    not giving the phyrexian creature type allows for it to be reprint much more easily. boohoo your tribe doesn't get it, not everything needs to be phyrexianized just because one version of the art has it depicted that way. honestly i think the biggest ****up was even adding the phyrexian type line because their whole schtick is compleating existing species anyway. so by including that type you just limit where things can show up again.

    then again its not like they actually ******* reprint anything in sets that aren't at a premium markup or as some special super rare alt frame these days either so...



    You piss and moan when the cards aren’t expensive and you piss and moan when the cards are expensive. Every post you’ve made re: 2xm2 has been a complaint, and 90% of those have been copy/paste whining regardless of the card. You realize when you complain about every card you’re just white noise, right?


    Maybe this game isn’t for you. I couldn’t imagine sitting down at a table against someone so toxically miserable.

    Oh for peak sake

    if you listen to the stream on further inspection it said only 125 available not sure why it’s so confusing it sold out so quick



    $125 was the price, not the quantity.

    So your response HERE is addressed to the people of Redddit and the internet as a whole. Gotcha.


    AND here also obviously. Seems you like to read only what is convenient to you.



    so you made a comment that applied to all of ONE person here, I call you on it, then you say it applies to people across the entirety of the internet, I call you on THAT, and then you revert to the fact it applied to all of ONE person here.


    What a clown.

    After you reach a certain point there is zero incentive to ever draw from your land deck. Decks would be like 10 lands/50 spells or in Commander maybe 15 lands/85 spells.

    As for milling, once a person has 8 or 9 lands in play, why would they ever choose to mill from anything but the land deck for as long as that’s possible?

    Dumb.

    Oh please, you are all acting so much worried and this card will go burden in everybody binder which is exactly the same fate that Blade of Selves faced also (because it turn out, guess what, that players actually realize that cards that do literally nothing when against a single opponent are the first ones to not make the cut in a decent EDH deck)



    Exactly one person commented on the power of this card prior to your comment. Who exactly are the “you all”?

    Not exactly sure why this really needed flash, but okay.

    This should have been in Standard so it could be in Modern, you'd probably draw quite a few cards with so many fetches.



    so you can sneak it in in response to things like fetches?

    Quote from Spaz350 »
    Damn, I was really hoping you could play backgrounds as a second commander with anything, not just with legends that have "Choose a background". Some of the revealed background cards would pair REALLY well with some of my existing commanders.

    Oh well.



    That would literally break, BREAK, the Commander format. Color identity would be rendered near meaningless. Add any one color to any deck (while also giving a benefit to the Commander to boot)? C’mon, man.

    posted a message on Magic to become more expensive (again)
    Quote from Pokerkingdave »
    I don't remember the last time the msrp went up for mtg cards. I think they were $4 per booster as far back as original theros block.
    If they magically pretend that msrp no longer exists, then it shouldn't be a big issue.



    For some products it wasn’t all that long ago. All I play is Commander, so I buy singles but I buy I’d estimate 80% of the Commander Precons. Precon prices:

    2013: $29.95
    2014: $34.95
    2018: $39.95
    2022: ~$45.00


    For a 50% increase in price we get tokens, 2-3 foils per deck, and a useless life wheel. Meanwhile, the reprint equity languishes in the toilet.
