MTG thread

It gives us a little window in to what an abandonment of the reserved list would look like. If they're charging 999.95 for four packs of proxies than cards that were legal for play would be a some multiple of that.

Matt Sperling used to go to the same LGS as me back in the early-mid 2000s. Weird seeing him in MTG stuff on the internet 20 years later.

Someone made a simulator for open one of these $1000 boxes. This has to be the biggest waste of money ever. Is anyone outside of speculators buying this?

Clownworld continues!

You too can have these Post-scribbled lands for the mere price of $30!

No, it's not April 1st.

Too bad - I actually like a few of them, but they are totally fucked up with that stupid Post shit. Though to be fair, even without the scribbles I don't buy $6 lands. The Jew is strong in me.

What a waste of good art.

So as not to be a complete Debbie Downer, I'll mention I did pick up a few of these on TCGPlayer because I collect elves and I think it's ridiculously beautiful.

Papa Hasbro and WotC. An interesting take for magic.

Remember when you could keep set icons straight and knew what was what?

I used to go out of my way to find spoilers and discuss what new sets could have, now I don't give a shit about any of it.

I'd like to see 3 standard sets per year, usually all on the same plane to allow new mechanics room to breathe and get some depth to them. Then the 4th set be a remastered old set for reprints and get cards onto Arena (eternal format only). Have commander cards in the reprint set and not too many of them, there's no reason to have loads of commander specific cards. You can still have commander precons from cards in the new set.

Pick an eternal format to support (probably pinoneer but start reprinting modern cards for it with the hologram sticker) and focus on that, standard and commander only.

If you figure out a cool new border, art style or alternate art have it on the fucking regular cards. Bin all the secret lair shit unless it can go in an actual set.

For a reprint set, something like Mirrodin remastered would be boosters of the original 3 Mirrodin sets (so large card pool) with fixed versions of banned cards and powerful cards like Lightning Bolt swapped out if you don't want it in the format. If you can't have such a large set, just reprint the best cards people liked.

Really though, it's too late. There'll be a magicgate scandal at some point and it'll become a dead game for ethnic alphabets to virtue signal with.

I'm considering dumping a playset (4 of each) of Revised dual lands if anyone knows anyone with real interest. It's an extremely nice set of cards with a large number of them being NM, and all but maybe 2 of the remainder being SP. I think I have one Bayou that could be considered MP.

I'm not in any hurry and just as happy to sit on them for another 10 years as sell them, but I've been thinking about getting rid of them for a couple years now, but I've just have been too lazy to actually try.

To contrast Posty, goddamn this is tempting. I’m sure they’ll be up on proxy sites though.
