I had my opponent on the ropes with RG tron. He was sitting at like 2 life while I had 2x Wurmcoils in play with Emrakul coming next turn. He top decks a twin and kills me.
How can this card not drop? The signs are all there. Who is to say they won't keep putting Goyf in future MM releases. Before you point out how dumb that would be, just remember that so far we have 2 MM releases and Goyf is in both of them. This is a fact that CANNOT be refuted. We can revisit this when MM2017 is spoiled
Seriously. What happened after MM1 was an anomaly due to a culmination of various factors. I cannot understand why people want 200$ goyfs.
Why would the price go up? What demand? if goyf is available now for 180 why would someone pay more after mm2? MM set a precedent, wotc backed up their claims, and player came to modern with confidence. MM2 will not have the same effect sorry boys.
I agree with SM on this. People don't want their goyfs to decrease in value so they try and perpetuate myth and espouse economic theory based on conjecture and speculation. The MM print of goyf was larger than the original, MM2 will probably double that amount. Goyfs price should drop significantly.
Anyone want even more bad news: next large modern tournament isn't until mid June, so this is what Wizards is going to base a lot of their decisions on.
We have a better chance of playing JTMS in the next tournament than we do playing Amulet.
this is the saddest part of this format and pretty much the reason I have no desire to play modern anymore. nothing is ever safe. I don't want to play super standard. WOTC needs to make a new format to make standard more appealing for the people that dislike the fact that the cards rotate. Let them regulate that format with a heavy hand. Or the players need to create a format of their own.
If anything, BGx's decline over the past few months put Goyfs at the lowest they've been (price-wise) in years. Now's as good a time as any to invest in them.
What are you talking about? 1.5 years ago goyfs could be had for 100$ sometimes slightly less.
I hope all the whiners enjoy being dominated by junk, now they can go cry about goyf and rhino, omg in one deck! so not fair. Pod being playable was one of the only good things modern had going for it.
This picture was "leaked" on twitter. Says BBE and Stonforge are unbanned in modern. Pod banned in modern, Brainstorm in legacy. I want to say bull***** but I don't have the slightest idea either way.
If Wizards were to take it's UB design philosophy back to the elegant days of Undermine, Recoil, and more stuff like Countersquall, Vapor Snag, and Geth's Verdict, we would see a control deck pop up; it wouldn't even need a Win Con as your spells tax the opponent's life.
Instead, we get Mill, which Wizards loves enough to keep it the norm, but hates enough to prevent it from ever being playable.
This^^^
Sorry about that dude.

I'll quit magic all together if it's real.
I like where your head is at.
