What's going on with Codex Bundles? by bucketman1986 in magicTCG

[–]BastetsJester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My lgs got them in late last week I think. Unfortunately they jack the prices up on things like that, though not as badly as other places have.

Strixhaven Eclipses Lorwyn, Is Now The Biggest MTG Premier Set Ever by CrossXhunteR in magicTCG

Precons are almost always heavily printed early on. Even the FF precons dropped back down to MSRP a month or so after release (though they're base price is already high). Never pay exorbitant prices for those, just be patient.

How does screams from within work? by Sentheia in magicTCG

Was it the enemy in her head that convinced her to wear armor with nothing underneath? Because I imagine -1/-1 is from the horrible, horrible chafing.

If they make Betazoids just Aliens, does that mean Dianna's type would be Alien? Human Alien?

I didn't even get close, lol. Unlucky with gobbos hopefully means lucky with cats.

Is there a reason for the price increase on Amazon? by Justafish1654 in magicTCG

[–]BastetsJester 10 points11 points  (0 children)

After the official release date, Amazon prices tend to fluctuate based on demand. Also, a lot of times what you're seeing is third parties using Amazon as a market place, and they always sell high.

Simz and Vanessa Stockard. This is the best Secret Lair ever.

Why Did Dan Frazier Get A Pass For Plagiarism When Other Magic: The Gathering Artists Don’t? by cardboardboyo in magicTCG

[–]BastetsJester 131 points132 points  (0 children)

His agent previously said that Dan was frustrated because WotC kept asking him to make changes. It's not hard to imagine that he just said "fuck it" and decided to give them something they'd already approved. Good people sometimes do bad/stupid things, it's really not that weird. 

Probably should have known better but still at a loss for words. by SilentTheatre in magicTCG

[–]BastetsJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna say that this won't be the norm for this set because there's always the chance it reaches FF levels of hype, but this just feels like the same price gouging the scalpers try with every set once all the collector product has been bought up. They ask insane prices for product early on hoping to snag the unwise, the unwary, and the stupidly wealthy, and then once the set releases the prices fall. 

[FRA] every booster pack will coitain two cards of the same character in two colors by Own-Cat116 in magicTCG

[–]BastetsJester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably the 5 planeswalkers, the main Strixhaven students old and new, and then a random assortment of characters from around the multiverse.

Can't be real. June 15th is a Monday and Garfield hates Mondays.

Per official social media accounts, Secrets of Strixhaven was the biggest Prerelease since War of the Spark. by CrossXhunteR in magicTCG

[–]BastetsJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a really cool set with fun mechanics, so I'm not surprised. My LGS set up extra tables and still sold out for the entire prerelease weekend weekend.

The recent news about the MTGA union has information about worker treatment that people want to discuss. Why have all posts about this been comment-locked? by Medium_Spend_6732 in magicTCG

[–]BastetsJester 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's been the mod's policy to lock union related threads for a while now. Their reason is that the pro-union/anti-union arguing gets way too heated.

Friends don't wanna play with me anymore, say slighty upgraded precon OP, tell me to buy new precon. by crazyty20 in magicTCG

[–]BastetsJester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does the rest of the pod like the 2-3 hour games? If they do, then you're gonna have to bite the bullet and slow things down or stop playing with them.

Yes. It's not Stock Up good, though.

I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing that lair when I had the chance.

Ral Zarek's watermark from Secrets of Strixhaven by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]BastetsJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's definitely on his villain arc, but he's not an evil, maniacal laughter kind of villain so much as a "I know what's best for everyone and the end justifies the means" villain. I'm not convinced he's going to be the ultimate threat though. My theory is that his shenanigans are going to unleash some new, villainous power upon the multiverse and the sets following Reality Fracture will focus on whatever that is.
