I guess my question is, what use do you have for a Badlands? If you have any use for it whatsoever, I'd take the dual. Emrakul is pretty high right now, and I can see her getting another reprint that pushes her price down a bit - I don't think she'll crash like Goyf, but another reprint at mythic will certainly stop her from climbing, and a second will crash her. But if you have plans to run Legacy Sneak and Show, then those Emrakuls will be more useful (and she's not going to get reprinted in the next 10 months). So, I'd go with the utility here. Badlands if you're not running her, Emrakul if you'd be taking her out of a deck.Quote from TechnicolorMage »Hi everyone, it's been a long time.
Pile A
Badlands MP it has enough chips and dings that it isn't LP
Pile B
Emrakul, the Aeons Torn RoE x2
Emrakul, the Aeons Torn Prerelease
If the Badlands were SP or better it would be a slam dunk, but is it still worth it for a MP dual?

Pile B
Cryptic Command MM2015
Vendilion Clique MM
4x Serum Visions
which Pile is better long term?
Depends on what goes on with the formats and MM2017. It is unlikely anything at all on either side will be in MM17 but I think there is a small chance Crypic and vendillon clique could be reprinted. Blue has been struggling in modern for awhile now, and if none of the cards in pile B get reprinted and blue ever gets better Pile B will go up. However if modern starts struggling in popularity and Frontier takes off Pile A will probably go up because of the Fetchs/Fetchable lands being in demand. It feels like a horse a piece, however I think pile B has a small edge. It really comes down to which format do you see yourself playing more of in the future? -

I like tempo because its so frustrating for your opponent and completely kills any master plan they may have. -

Pile A

Woodland Wanderer
2 Planar Outburst
Canopy Vista
Pile B
Bloodstained Mire (KTK)
Flooded Strand (KTK)
Correct - easy Pile B.
Quote from Goblinhoarder13 »Pile A:
48 BFZ Full art Basic Lands
1 Foil BFZ Forest
Pile B:
Ob Nixilis reignited
Scatter the Winds
I have B. I think Id rather have the basic lands
Basic land packs from the fat pack are $20, so full-art lands are a quarter each. 48 of them makes $12, and a foil Forest is $7ish. Ob is currently around $16 I think? I think you're OK taking Pile A, although it's not the pile I'd take (personally, I place no value on full-art basics).
Quote from Snobby Bok Choy »pile a
jace, the mindsculptor
jin gitaxis
pile b
marchesa the blood rose foil
brago king eternal
ulamog tbe ceaseless wonder
some two buck cheapo
Foil Marchesa definitely makes this a reasonable consideration. I don't think that you can go wrong with either choice - Marchesa may end up as a judge foil, but she'll be hard to print in packs, and her foil already rivals nonfoil JTMS in terms of price. Then again, Jace is hard to reprint as well. So go with what you want, here.
Edit: I just checked eBay because this was bothering me, and I saw that you can straight-up BIN on JTMS for under $90, which is the range on foil Marchesa. So I'd probably lean more towards Pile B. But again, both cards are pretty solid, and Jace may take off in the short term with the Dig Through Time ban. -

My other group is a 4 man FFA that is powerful in a very different way.
The two groups never crossover and the gameplay is radically different which makes both groups excellent to belong to.
Of course, now were all social distancing.....

I agree with you, but I had to ask

Cube Size: 600 cards.
Breakdown: 70 of each colour, 49 artifact, 152 multicoloured (includes 5 cycles of mana fixing and a cycle of signets)
Standard or Theme: Standard Multiplayer FFA
Snow Lands: None at this time.
Average Number of Players: Always 4 but sometimes up to 8
How Often Drafted: Bi-Weekly
Card Selection
Proxies: Not many, but there are a couple floating around as we make trades or purchase the real version
Powered: Oh Yeah!
Portal: None but not opposed to inclusion.
"Un" Cards: One City of Ass
Banned Cards for Power-Level: None.
Banned Cards for Time Constraints: None.
Banned Cards for "fun" factor: None.
Cube Design
Standard or Multiplayer: Multiplayer FFA
Sideboards?: None. We maindeck our hate!
Perfect Creature/Spell Balance: It's a work in progress.
Gold Balance: Yes, Currently 15 of each color with two Shards having a single card
Perfectly Balanced CMC: Probably not but we strive to get there.
So... why this particular Cube?
This playgroup averages 4-8 players, generally on the lower end. We exclusively play free-for-all Multiplayer games when cubing. Power levels and budgets are all over the place. This Cube addresses the imbalance in budget and power levels, while creating an environment where everyone has an equal opportunity to win. My playgroup has a wide range of playing styles. We are trying to incorporate at least one archetype from each player so they feel like their needs are met by the cube. We don't allow infinite, so although there may be infinite possibilities, we enforce a one time through (all possible combinations) otherwise a couple of people get salty.
Come draft a fun MP cube in the link below!
