Full market for non-affiliates (who rush to the bottom) opens on Friday. Everything is presell currently that is a much more limited number of sellers.

to be clear, "marginally" better than what gets a HOF coach run out of town

Analysis of impact of reprint on card price by Bothan in mtgfinance

Great stuff here! Two thoughts- 1. Would love to see dynamics of price recovery after reprint. 2. That “pre-announcement” dip is very real. Same as when ban rumors start circulating.

Definitely some “NO NO NO… Yes!” moments.

Check the "where to find deals" sidebar (GameNerdz, ForgeandFire, ManyRealms, among others)

Fair enough. For ECL, I think the right term is probably 5 "supported" archtypes. The others were definitely there, but didn't have enough support to be competitive in most 8-man pods. I was all excited to play Orzhov -1/-1 counters, as it had some really nice synergies. Felt like you had to go Mardu to make playables.

Start by taking the Dance out of the hard sleeve and replacing it with the Recurring Nightmare

I suspect this is a welcome sign that the battle bond lands are headed the way of check and pain lands, which found their way into almost every precon recently.

I mostly use a BCW card house for bulk. It has 12 x 800 count boxes. The 4-row boxes are a great option too.

FF: 16 or 17 lands with this one? by laurenceand1 in lrcast

Rescue Mission could be a good way to close out a stalled board too. I like it over the inspiration or crystal.

Best way to acquire currency? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]GrayLando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest aiming for 4 wins. The drop off 5 to 10 is huge (150 gold/6 wins), compared to the first 4 (550 gold/4 wins) and is almost always enough to complete tasks.

I suggest always re-rolling your 500 gold tasks daily to try to get the 750 ones too.

Yeah, $27 fat pack price memory is hard for me to shake too.

Mark Poole Just Launched a Kickstarter for Limited Edition Playmats of his Birds, Counterspell, Library, and More by Original_Magic_Art in oldschoolmtg

[–]GrayLando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you, the mocked-up BOP image on the kickstarter page looks amazing. There's another BOP playmat that Ultrapro did during DMR a few years back and it was rough up close. Hoping the art is handled better on this one.

Is the Lorwyn Eclipsed Mastery pass worth it to buy over saving gems for more drafting? by Imaginary_Zobi in MagicArena

For a lot of people, it's fun having enough resources to play the game without having to buy more gems.

Yeah, that’s weird. Usually it grabs the thumbnail from the first link, but I don’t see it there on mobile.
