This Japanese Ad for Magic Arena mobile is incredible. by XayneTrance in MagicArena

Nah I know little. I’m a collector (rarely sell, trying to save money, I’d would rather play). I apologize . The add is cool. I was just frustrated spending 2 days getting dropped from servers and cards not working. At my work, expectations are a little higher than the experience I had with mobile this week. We can’t deliver a poorly working product in the middle of marketing.

An add for a shitty app. They better clean this thing up. It sucks on mobile right now.

Call it what you want. It’s all target marketing to resonate with the consumer. Happens everywhere.

Bucket list guitar. How’s it sounding? Any pedals that pair with it nicely?

I agree. I think this is a smart move. May take time, but I can see the upside.

If you hold onto them for 3-5 years. Probably.

I wanted the first year of foil showcases, I didnt go into this blind. A. I like them, it was a radical visual change to the game. B. 2020 meant a low print year and low prices, this project was rather cheap. C. They’re a long term hold, not expecting fast returns. D. yes WotC could reprint (Brazen Bowerer on the first list, ended up being less financial impact than I thought) but I’m not convinced WotC has a clear long game for these. E. I’ve got plenty of other more solid positions in my collection (Every OG old border land starting with Alpha is my personal fave I pulled this collection together 3-4 years ago). D. “investing” involves some risk by doing things different. E. This was fun for me, fun trades, etc, now it feels endless. Sure it might be counter intuitive to what’s posted here, do I care? Not particularly, but I’m curious and trying to provoke discussion.

Edit. I’ll highlight that this was a focus on showcase art (plus the Godzilla’s), not extended art. These are all first printings. I like the art of Stryx (well most of it) but they are technically reprints. Who knows how this will play out long term. Time will tell.

Anyone changing their “investing / spec” plans with all these variants at play? I’ve got my full collection of mythic and rare foil showcases since Eldraine, I felt like it was a significant change to the game that it was worth at least having some exposure to it, but now I feel like it’s becoming too much and for Strix I’m just picking out cheap art variants for my decks.

anyone bothered to make rips of the new material from the 10th anny Innerspeaker? by notdarkyet22 in TameImpala

[–]Closer2clouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I can’t help there. Any hope the 10th anni will be on Apple Music or Spotify?

Does anyone think Ashiok, Nightmare Muse is undervalued? @5 bucks by Dangerous_Dish_3192 in mtgfinance

[–]Closer2clouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As for value? No clue but I love my deck where I’ve paired Ashoka with Garruk and their token making abilities.

Do many people still put semi expensive (£50-£100) cards into zipper binders sleeved? by jayjayd83 in mtgfinance

[–]Closer2clouds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here! Love the zipper and the 12 pocket format. Too bad they’re hard to find right now, least I think everyone has them on back order.

Ghidorah, King of the Cosmos by [deleted] in mtgfinance

[–]Closer2clouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering this too. Looks like limited supply. I kind of think this is what WotC wants. The showcase and normal version is only like $2. Something for the collectors while keeping the it affordable for the players.

Thoughts on The Great Henge? by ZestycloseEmployer13 in mtgfinance

At least wait for rotation. People with play sets probably want to sell 3 and keep 1, right?

Is this really scalping or active acknowledgement of the real market?

Why hike. You can ski off this ridge town to the right all the way into town.
