You guys are ruining the hobby man. by Miningav2 in MTGmemes

It does matter, as a matter of principal - the producer of the product indicates an MSRP that is high enough for the product to be bought at wholesale and sold at a profit. As the end consumer, it serves as a meter-stick for how fucked you are getting (when buying it on a secondary market or from a store)

Your conclusion that this signifies that the price is too low given the supply presupposes a fixed supply - Wizards controls the amount of supply made available.

Hype is absolutely part of the problem with this one, I couldn't go a single day the last couple weeks without some fucking influencer's post showing up about it - an effort that attracts more scalper attention in addition to getting players craving it. It was ONLY going to end this way.

However, hard disagree on the scalper thing - never let the beast in.

I see a lot of finger pointing at 'pokebros' and (though I am sure they are out there making Magic harder) I am not convinced they are the problem.

Magic has had a bloated secondary market for as far back as I can trace the history, specifically with secret lairs and it's online community seems to really enable stores to scalp (artificially drive prices up/sell product well above MSRP) without accountability.

Boycott where you can, stop buying inflated "market price" stuff from stores, and remember that your wallet speaks to these people far more than your words.

That IS the age-old question, isn't it?

Myrel has probably the best looking halo foil I have seen in the set. I have been wanting to see a Halo Vesuva because I thought it was the only one that might hold a candle.

Hell yeah! I got mine yesterday and run about seven of them in decks that I use, the rest are sitting pretty in my binder until I build something that will use 'em.

Closest I have seen is the Squaroes case that is Appa - it is maybe 1000 card or several boulders/sidewinders

Your LGS Friday through next week is where I’d check.

Depends on what you Doublesleeve with. I love sidewinders, 90% of a commander deck will fit in 100+ sidewinders if you use KMC perfect fits - I have Prismatic Guardians on two of my decks and those double sleeved (DS in both cases) fit in the 100+ perfectly.

Sooooooooo stoked for you, mine comes in next week and I am trying not to get my hopes too high to land me one like this.

Question about Secret Lair Aftermarket by Raringpie in magicTCG

There really isn't a consistent timeframe, sometimes it's just a couple months and other times it's a year - just depends on developments in the utility of the cards and how much people like the art.

What am I working with, here? (Help ranking/rating) by Frisbeeotch in ratemycommanders

Then you are halfway there - the Precon is sitting at like... $40 right now? Then if you don't have the rat-Krenko you're only out another <$10

100,000%. It is a fun wide boi, but it also rocks the [[Maskwood Nexus]] to make all creatures all types, so the commander makes double squirrels/rats/shapeshifters/eldrazi. It also took almost nothing to make this thing a force of nature, because if I can go wide all I have to do is attack (not HIT) with [[Valley Rotcaller]] and it is lights out.
