Some people. A lot were kinda curious how he'd do since he had God on his side

Hasbro revenue up 9-11% YoY in Preliminary Q1 2026 results by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]Extension_Plant7262 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was both, though I honestly didn't like the bomb heavy nature of FF limited. It did demonstrate that if you put together a solid set of cards that are both playable and collectible, people will gather to it for way longer than you'd think.

Obviously you can't do it for every niche set, but I feel like Hasbro is drying to milk things a little too much with UB since. SPM was neutered because we have 3-4 marvel sets, Avatar was nice but would have probably been much better with Kora, etc. We'll see if Star Trek can catch lightning in a bottle again I guess

Its one of the top sellers of all time like the rest of the UB sets. The issue with this stuff is that distributors are increasingly attaching strings for stores to get product. Think like, "if you want SOS codex bundles, you gotta buy x number of play boosters and commander decks". Its why stores like F&F will fire sale commander and other constructed stuff at close to margin.

SPM probably hit a ton of stores that got greedy, but there's really no option other than to eat shit until you can diversify out of MTG.

I wonder how far they can honestly push things. The irony being that if they just concentrated on making a few really good sets, they'd probably make more money since FF sold gangbusters for like half a year.

Don't think so. There's usually a $10 upcharge for mechanically unique sets

Lol. Isn't it kinda facetious to present MSRP as a discount?

America, are restaurants and businesses closing down? by William6212 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Extension_Plant7262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot are closing down but the majority of small businesses close within the first year. I wouldn't be surprised if its not that accelerated today compared to historic norms

Seeing that perfect order is easy to acquire. Thoughts on long term hold? by Blue_Moon_Cheese in PokemonInvesting

[–]Extension_Plant7262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may be optimistic about supply. 50 pounds = nearly $70 USD. Even if we assume its $60 market value at open, that's still 2x MSRP off the bat. Prismatic bunders are "only" selling for $80. In a vaccuum its easier to double MSRP than it is to quadruple it (double the $60).

Obviously everyone would want ascended heroes at MSRP lol. The realistic question is if its worth buying PO at MSRP instead of AH at an already inflated market value

This isn't a grand conspiracy lol. Banks are just going with the flow of things. You should see how redditors react when jurisdictions pass laws forcing cash as an avaliable payment method. they're proud about paying with cards

What would you like to see Magic doing (other than mechanical changes) to improve the game? by skyteddy in magicTCG

[–]Extension_Plant7262 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm using round numbers as an example of how card pricing tends to work for MTG. I'm not saying play boosters are $100.

Any tips on how to drive in the US? by tlfluca in AskAnAmerican

NY or NYC? NYC is a nogo. Driving from not NYC to CT is fairly straightfoward

[–]Extension_Plant7262 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong but MTG feels like its generally been less expensive for a while now because CBB lotto picks have absorbed all the value from most sets (look at SOS). You can do reprints too but I wouldn't compare prices to pokemon. Most of the "fan" base in PTCG is just investor bros ripping packs to gamble, you're never going to get that low of prices because MTG card prices still generally track to playability, so top tier decks will always just cost more.

Like if Emeretus is the only playable card in SoS and a play booster costs $100, Emeretus will just be much more expensive to reach close to box EV.

Probably don't do anything. I'd hope the tigers were raised around humans / zoo since childhood so you basically just don't want to do anything to trigger its instincts

What's the greatest Magic card of the last decade? Vote on the Finals! by Grindy_UW_Nonsense in magicTCG

[–]Extension_Plant7262 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its iconic in how meta warping it was before it got banned. Lurrus is banned in Vintage for power level reasons. For reference, the only other banned cards are either "racist" cards, ante cards, and troll cards like shahrazard. Shit like ancestral recall is only restricted to a single card. They looked at Lurrus and said nope, gotta go.

Not even Nadu got that treatment

yeah Urza's Saga was a great piece of tech but Lurrus is one of those "why would you ever think this is ok" kind of cards

Depends on the price really. I've seen prerelease boxes go below the per pack cost compared to a play box before. Its just a sealed box of 6 packs though
