Voice isn't seeing legacy play? I don't really keep up with that format.

I thought that Mavrick and Zoo played Voice. Now I don't know if they are still tier 1, or even 2 for that matter, but I thought I saw them in there somewhere. I also haven't played legacy since UG Thresh was the "go-to" deck.

I'm very tempted to dump my playset of Voice and net an easy $200. I don't believe they are going to stay the price they are. Some people think they'll be a $100 a piece by the end of the year, but that's ridiculous.

Some kid, who plays a so so R/B deck, pulled a Voice last week at the store I play at. He had no plans of really using it and said no when I offered to buy it from him in cash + trades. I will forever be stuck with only 2.

I got all of mine from packs.

It's seeing play in popular Modern archetypes too. That's pretty much the only way for a Standard card to rise to those prices these days. That and it's a small set mythic, which doesn't help.

The fact it is the only card anyone cares about in dragon's maze is a big part of the problem. Avacyn Restored at least had bonfire and cavern and a couple other cards back when everyone was chasing bonfires. DGM has voice and.....?

Blood baron isn't a terrible card, but it definitely isn't a staple and even those that play him typically only play 2-3.

There are some popular rares from DGM, but nothing on the level of Cavern or Snapcaster. Advent is a damn good card, as is Aetherling, but neither are being played in the quantities necessary to spike the price. Honestly it's a good set, but I suspect a lot of people are like me and got everything they wanted very early when it was all cheap.

My trade pick ups through M14 are pretty much just Deathrites, Jace AoT and Snapcaster. Anything else I'm not bothering with.

Legion Loyalist for Goblin decks!?

Sounds like Grand Prix Las Vegas has some pretty insane attendance, and they had to cap it at 4500 in order to not take 10 hours to process everyone and get the rounds started.

Pretty surprising. I don't think they've ever capped an event before have they?

They also held it in Vegas during the WSOP. Not hard to believe they would have to cap it for that reason alone.

Small turnout for Modern today. Went undefeated even still, and got some decent stuff out of prize packs. Flipped a foil Deathrite into a regular Deathrite and a Liliana. I'm pretty happy with that for a free afternoon.

Yesterday before FNM I bought 3 packs, pulled a Voice. At the end of the night I bought the last 5 packs of a new box, since the only thing pulled was a Master of Cruelties, and I ended up getting foil Tajic, Blade of the Legion, Council of the Absolute, Savageborn Hydra, and another Voice. Not a bad night.

Attending a Modern Masters draft tomorrow at the same shop, not sure if I want to buy in since I don't really care about modern and I amterribleat drafting.

Just draft for value. I almost never buy packs because it's cheaper in the long run to just buy specific singles, but opening MM packs is fun as shit. It's pretty hard not to make your money back.

There's a pic going around, possibly fake, of a guy who opened a foil Goyf and 2 regulars at GP Vegas. Apparently the event had massive problems with people opening expensive cards and just dropping from the tournament rather than bother passing and playing. While I somewhat understand the sentiment, at that point why bother registering for GP Vegas? Why not just buy sealed product and save a plane ticket?
