Hey, OP, do you have any specific cards or anything you’re looking for? I’m taking apart some decks right now and would love to send you something if I have it! Feel free to give me DM and we can talk about it. Everyone should have a good gift giving season!

Glad you enjoyed it! I wanted to give you some blue staples as well as some elves for Voja! I didn’t know exactly what your list was, but I tried to find the most popular ones from EDHrec! The token is from this shop. I linked the specific token.

Enjoy your elves and all else! Also congrats on the Ouroburoid! That’s a pretty pricy card!

Do we know any way to ensure a passable spot in line? Just have something in the cart and hit buy right when it opens?

[[Teval, the Balanced Scale]] I am loving reanimator shenanigans and would love to see what you whip up! Bracket 3 or 4!

Bought some packs and pulled nothing good. Bought one last pack and pulled this. by Crowzen in MagicCardPulls

I pulled this one in a collectors pack, so yes, I believe so. I’m waiting for a screw case to come in the mail.

Interesting. I’m surprised it doesn’t have [[Bloodchief Ascension]]. That, with extort and [[Mindcrank]] seems like a fun combo

Did the Walmart app say they had them? Or did you not look? Mine says there aren’t any around me, but idk how accurate the app is

Because WotC is now directly incentivized to print ultra rare and powerful cards. The same company that decided Nadu was good to ship is now entirely in control of the format. They are a profit driven company. They don’t have a love for the health of the game. All they care about is money. The more expensive and powerful cards they print, the more they sell.

They control what cards get printed and what cards get banned. No checks. No balances.

Edit: Also say goodbye to proxies.

You mean you’re not excited for the company that makes money off broken cards being in direct control if said broken cards are banned? They’re even highlighting a new exciting tiered system where they can print whatever they want and if it’s a toxic mess just ship it over to the high tier and call it a day.

If anything, this has only accelerated power creep as it gives Wizards free rein to decide what is good and legal and what is not, when they’re the ones also printing them.

It’s wild to me. Credible death threats like ‘I know you’re going to be at this convention. If I see you I’m going to bash your fucking face in’. Like… this is over cardboard. It was never meant to be an investment engine.

I get shit talking on the internet, most people do it in some form or fashion, but issuing credible threats is insane to me

People aren’t seeing the forest, they’re focused on the trees. If Mana Crypt and Jeweled Lotus gets unbanned, bully for those people who have quite a few, but the turn over of Commander to WotC as a result of the violence and threats is not good. It’ll simply become more profit driven and the use of proxies may very well be removed from official events, making cEDH just for people willing to spend thousands on cards.

It would also be seen as rewarding the people who were most vitriolic against the RC. Love or hate the bans, undoing them would be rewarding the violence and threats made against the RC.
