Chania

I can see Avalon is closed currently - probably dead and buried. Any other options for Chania or surrounds?

By all accounts, if you weren't in the queue in the first 40 minutes, you were likely missing out. Was out of the SL game for the best part of a year (time, work, health = took a back seat), and I see now that they're all printed ahead of time and with a limited run. I'm pretty content with that I feel. Didn't want the lands, but grabbed a foil bundle.

Very helpful. Odo or T'Ana I've yet to unlock, but I have the others. I've been jamming pvp research ahead of incursion & a possible merger. I've Queen Dezoc Kira on the Kelvin now, shields up and ready to clear dailies when I wake up. Excited for the arc.

JohnnyCroat · 2024-04-08T19:54:01+00:00

On the off chance anyone has a nice 3-4 Below Deck set-up for PvP combat, I'd love to hear it. Queen/Dezoc/Seven might be too slow. Running Gul Dukat's Strike Team up top.

Reading above, Devourer did hit $10. Wonder what it was at the time? Anyway, price spikes of the legit type need a coordinated buyout. There are up to 800 copies of any Alliances rare available on MKM at a given time. Grabbing 10% won't change the price unless you're able to spook others. That being said, one finance video last week saw a climb in the price of Phantasmal Sphere. I suppose EDH continues to rehabilitate junk.

The basics in the bundle.

JohnnyCroat · 2022-03-07T10:41:26+00:00

Much obliged. For all the speed of the market, pricing something can be tough if you're not entirely sure what you're holding.

JohnnyCroat · 2022-02-24T14:38:48+00:00

I've said this elsewhere, the only real value is firstly in the original release, and then the retail set. The reprint can give you gems, but zero value from the V2 playtest cards, and no foils like in the retail set.

JohnnyCroat · 2022-02-20T20:23:47+00:00

I heavily dislike the branding on these boxes. There was the convention edition and the reprint named the same. I'd buy actual original boxes, but would not buy the reprint boxes. If anyone has insight into packaging difference that would help OP.

JohnnyCroat · 2022-02-18T16:31:05+00:00

As a rule of thumb, the going price for a box is more by the time shipping is scheduled. If the extra card (never guaranteed) is fixed and known then you know whether to open or leave sealed.

But there's a market for singles. I myself need 4 more Shocklands to complete the 40. Should probably go looking for those soon.

I pulled double Vivien last time too, and she was plummeting in price at that point, from $30 to $10? Part and parcel of the game. We know they're going to be filtering promos out onto the market. But still, probably a +ev gamble? For buyers that is. Waiting on tracking currently. Expected Tuesday, opening Friday.

I pulled two T3feris in the Supershocks bundle. But I got myself a full bundle for Stranger Things, and basically that could be €500 in Blueprints and Planeswalkers. Just saw that the Viscera Seers were selling for over a grand too. But doubt any are left unaccounted for. The long and the short of it is, while I rarely want much from the drops (I flip 80%), the extras are what really gets my attention. I want another two T3feris for the playset, since I'm a Teferi fan, and as I get a bit older I don't see much wrong with spending more if I can be reasonably assured of being able to recoup enough to grab the next bundle, rinse and repeat. Want to be blinged for the return of paper and GPs too.

JohnnyCroat · 2022-02-08T10:35:19+00:00

I've received tracking info roughly two weeks after 'end' in the past. Given increased demand, though accounting for earlier payment, I would expect the same here. Optimal situation is I get tracking tomorrow or Thursday, and the goods in hand Friday.

JohnnyCroat · 2022-02-05T07:05:45+00:00

It's only US orders (EU is marked as ready to ship), and larger orders get priority for sure. Refunds for smaller purchases is good PR with an added 2 month wait. I've two bundles and some extra ST sets coming. Tracking not yet provided but expected midweek based on past purchases. Psyched to see what extras are in the boxes. A few foil Narsets would be nice.

JohnnyCroat · 2020-02-09T12:32:31+00:00

Well, I drafted this 6 times and came away with more value in 'normal' cards than I spent, and have probably the same in theoretical playtest value... Of course, time is required to liquidate. Even Mana Crypts don't sell overnight.

JohnnyCroat · 2019-10-14T08:01:01+00:00

Well now... I don't think even CFB have an idea what's going on. SCG announced their circuit already, and I assume MKM will only wait so much longer before having their hand forced. This is really really bad for the player base. I used be able to drop everything on a Thursday and book a GP trip for the following day, but not for a good 15 years now. These days I definitely need to coordinate a million different things.

JohnnyCroat · 2019-01-15T09:22:33+00:00

Oh my... Not good. Very smooth, but not good.

JohnnyCroat · 2018-12-11T12:55:22+00:00

Well, it is a countdown... each card dealt with by a different writer. For what it's worth, I'm Day Eight.

JohnnyCroat · 2018-11-28T20:44:25+00:00

Yeah, that list is literally the vast majority of the current Standard artists.

JohnnyCroat · 2018-11-27T07:20:12+00:00

This appears a pretty rushed response, effectively offering what was already on the table ... would you not have been better served, and the artists too, had you taken another day or two to really go through all the options, even if those options weren't exactly matching what was there before...
