And that literally one of a kind one ring is printed in traditional foil? As in, it's gonna pringle?
Wow.

Quote from Evil Never Dies »It would be a terrible advice, is that's what I actually said. But since that's not at all what I've meant to say but it's your usual text comprehension issue,[/quote}
What? You started your rebuttal with insults? That's so very much like you. Not sure why I thought you grew up.
[quote] it is not at all a terrible piece of advice but a very healthy one for some people that apparently have an unhealthy obsessive and compulsive relationship with -and very probably not only with- this game and are unable to disciplinate themselves to avoid to suffer from the information overload, a real recognized disorder.
It's those people I am referring. But of course, since you are functionally illiterate, you will manage to misunderstand and distort completely even this post with the delusion to think to know better than me what I actually meant to say, making unaccurate paraphases of my posts as your typical reply.
Luckily, not everybody have your problem,
so I am sure the rest of the people reading us have very clear idea of what's my point of view on the matter,
so that I don't need to waste my time repeating in vain to you this simple concept you are unable to grasp.

Quote from The Lord of Tresserhorn »
- The nearly 1000$ bean bag from Lovesac is real. It's covered with pictures of Magic cards and is 30th Anniversary branded. You can also buy the bag without stuffing - for 400$. In both cases, you get a box of ONE to go with it (draft, set, do not know). You actually can't buy it without the box.

Each March of the Machine Draft Booster contains 15 cards and 1 token/ad card or Helper card, including 1–2 card(s) of rarity Rare or higher and 3–5 Uncommon, 8–9 Common, and 1 Land cards. Traditional Foil Borderless Mythic Planeswalker in <1% of boosters. Traditional Foil of any rarity replaces a Common in 33% of boosters.

Between his insufferable public persona and the endless parade of gimmicks, MaRo has had a net negative effect on this game.
And to anyone saying this is good or you can opt in or whatever:
I opened 4 boxes of unstable and was unable to complete the set. The rare variants with the same name and the mythic distribution made it very difficult to open all the cards. That kind of exclusivity is relatively harmless in a supplemental joke set. Thrones of Eldaine is not a supplemental joke set. This announcement is just another step towards a frighteningly greedy business model. For them to phrase it as "options" is pouring salt in the messy wound that is secondary market prices, investors being taken more seriously than players, the selective scarcity of in-demand cards, and the nightmare that is the reserve list.
Obviously profit is an inextricable part of WotC's business model. Are they hurting for profits? Do we know exactly where they lie on the spectrum here? Have they given the players any clear info on the secondary market (not just a statement, a proper analysis)? Do they share data on why cards are banned? On which cards they reprint based on demand (again, not anecdotes, data)? As far as I know, they do not. The changes just announced are so poorly justified and exacerbate the problem.
Yes, if you're an adult with a stable income or remotely aware of online sellers, then this won't affect you in the short term. I obviously love this game or I wouldn't still be playing it after 10+ years. I mainly draft and this doesn't affect me at all, mechanically. The game is not the problem. The business aspect undoubtedly is.
Ask yourself why a company would implement these changes before you buy another Magic: The Gathering sealed product.

very much so actually. Longer life for cards for standard players? Much deeper deck variety? And standard is already pretty diverse... and it would solve some Arena problems as well after rotation. Great idea IMO.

There's a pretty glaring différance here, let's be honest.
She has a neat character design and her ongoing plot so far at least lends itself to maybe developing flaws and hangups. This is a big step compared to previous characters, who conform to archetypes and don't really have personalities at all. Ixalan stories were better than the norm for the same reason. That's all we can really hope for, regardless of the character's color, mana or otherwise.

I'm actually really mad about this.

EDIT: the "astral drift" is actually awesome! hopefully we get a decree or two, or maybe even better versions!!

No objections to HoB being in here either. That card belongs in my knight edh but I didn't want to pay a standard price for it. Hopefully it drops into the $5 range so I can finally get a copy.
