pwner1 posted a message on Shocklands in DGMTo be honest, the prices on the shocks have already hit bottom and are now rising. I think the 2.4 or so shocks we'll see in each box of DGM won't be enough downward pressure to bring prices down further. If anything it will just slow the rise.Posted in: Market Street Café
With a growing player base and shocks being used in standard for 1.5 more years + modern.. they might hit the high teens by this time next year. -

Vamp1r posted a message on Hasbro cutting jobs after weak holiday season.There are so many ridiculous statements being made in this thread.Posted in: Magic General
Magic has been growing steadily over the last couple of quarters and while Hasbro doesn't break MTG out in detail in their earnings, they mentioned it in all of their recent calls as a very strong performer.
From all anecdotal evidence i've ever seen regarding MTGO, they're basically printing money and can't get people to sign up fast enough.
So I think we can all logically say that Hasbro wouldnt cut or jeopardize one of their very successful products. There might be more "pressure" on MTG to grow faster through MTGO or whatever, but thats only because it is as successful and profitable as it is.
As far as the reserved list- get over it. Stop crying about it, stop petitioning about it, stop making ridiculous predictions about it. Its done. Its over. Short of an act of God (something along the lines of the entire company being shut down and then the game being picked up by some other company out of legal limbo), the reserved list isn't going away. EVER. Seriously people. Whether that means legacy or vintage dies is irrelevant -the reserved list isn't going away no matter how many tears you shed over it. And when Legacy goes the way of Vintage, the game will still be fine.
If the death of Vintage has shown us anything its that the health of MTG as a game isn't reliant on an eternal format thats slowly being phased out and that the majority of players don't care about. -

Play Esper. Three roads to victory (AEtherling, Drownyard, Jace MA out the board), your favorite guilds, great matchups against everything but Jund, almost all RTR block cards. Try building my sigged list.

Liliana is worse than Far // Away in control decks, and fixing in Standard *is* good enough to run my sigged list. Note the lack of BB cards.
Let's actually consider this mathematically. Assume a deck playing 24 land that tap for colored mana. (My Esper does this.) If we're in two-color U/B, our manabase might be
4 Watery Grave
4 Drowned Catacomb
8 Swamp
8 Island
In this deck, we have 16 land that could tap for blue and 16 land that could tap for black.
Let's look at an example Esper manabase:
4 Watery Grave
4 Hallowed Fountain
4 Godless Shrine
4 Glacial Fortress
4 Drowned Catacomb
4 Isolated Chapel
In this deck, we also have 16 land that could tap for each of our three colors! (eight of our shocks and eight of our checks!) The only downsides are:
1) Possible life cost on some of our land.
2) Less vulnerability to Ghost Quarter, the only Strip Mine effect in Standard.
both of which are waaaay less important than casting better cards.

I think it's time for a judge.

We will return to Ravnica again at some point in time. That said, Return To Ravnica II would be the best set name ever.

deals with triggered abilities how?

Sorcery speed hurts it a bit, esp. when compared with something like Terminate. I think it could be safe at 2B, although the idea is to trigger only one of those things. At 1B, maybe drop the mill to five cards and the damage to 2.
