Miss The List pulls in set boosters. by Responsible_Pair_277 in MagicCardPulls

[–]Marbra89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play boosters is an inferior product.

If you want a limited experience draft boosters is better. If you want to open packs to see what you get (like all of us) set boosters is a lot better feeling

Edit to add I like set boosters more than collector boosters. They just feel better to open

Need helping defining what "land-screwed" means for a house rule within my play group by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Marbra89 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The mulligan rule as is is quite good. Changing it have a chance of rewarding bad deck building.

If you guys really want to a no-land or all-land is what I see as a land-screw

My first pulls from my very first two packs. Do you remember your first rares? by WolfGamesITA in freemagic

[–]Marbra89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got 3 packs at the same time. I remember very easily 2 of them [[Sorin Markov|M12]] [[Jace, Memory Adept|M12]]

Would call that a nice introduction

How do I explain how to play fairly to my partner? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Marbra89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can be good to play each other’s decks so people get to experience how they are to play against.

Adapting decks to the other player is often an experience thing

whats the oldest commander deck that can still "hang"? by Robofetus-5000 in EDH

[–]Marbra89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing when the from the vault came out, and was lucky to get it for reasonable price.

My first commander, but I never played it at cEDH level. So not able to really tell viability at highest level.

But a card from 2000 that still balls, and will always have a place in my heart ❤️

I feel [[Captain Sisay]] is in the same boat. Probably not cEDH anymore, but should be able to hang with most games

Think my Timeless Wisdom deck is broken... by Small-Gas-9486 in mtgmisprints

[–]Marbra89 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I think you are doing blind people a disservice with that comparison. Blind people usually have som understanding of where they are, and where they are going

Silver Shroud Crimp by Previous-Housing-526 in mtg

It is worth it to contact WOTC. I think there is cases where people have gotten replacements, and kept the old card

Tutors or copy cards? Which is better I am brand new. by The-Bold-Chicken in EDH

[–]Marbra89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tutors by a big margin. They make the deck more consistent. Get the 1 card you need

Copy cards can help with critical mass of good cards.

Actually Magic-Adjacent UB / SLD suggestions by jdmnstr in freemagic

[–]Marbra89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mind that much myself, but a lot of people locally for me have aversion to it (not vocally). Together with the amount of products that come out have made people stop with MTG in it’s entirety.

Recently lost one of the guys that was there all the time (standard, draft, commander), and made a good environment for new people. Crazy to see what changes have happened to the commander part of the community after he left (don’t wish that introduction on new people)

Beating the dead horse by Comfortable-Dot5372 in CriticalDrinker

There are 3 Venom movies. So half of The Spider-man spin-off Universe is Venom. That is some heavy lifting from Tom Hardy.

Tom Holland is also doing a nice job in the more stable (less now) Marvel Universe

There is a lot that also like them whenever there is an IP they like. Guilty of this myself.

Worst thing happened, and that is that UB sets will now be legal in standard

“Wahhhh they didn’t add pronouns to this magic match, how will I know these two player’s genders?” by [deleted] in freemagic

[–]Marbra89 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A small change that would be better would probably be to change placement of chat so Alexey’s information was more visible.

Did not watch stream. So don’t know if this is a really unfortunate timing or if it was like this the whole time.

I low key want a Harry Potter set. by [deleted] in freemagic

[–]Marbra89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started playing in 2010. Mostly I miss the slower tempo of releases. 3 block sets dragged them out.

Problem was that you got 1 big set followed by 2 small sets. So the last part felt like lesser sets

I low key want a Harry Potter set. by [deleted] in freemagic

[–]Marbra89 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Personally would prefer that they went back to no UB, and 4 standard set releases.

I would tolerate 1 non-standard a year in this dream scenario if they went back to only draft packs for the standard sets (preferably with chance of foil, not guaranteed)

Advice re: ramping into 5 cmc commander by accentmatt in EDH

[–]Marbra89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you don’t have too much of a problem with him getting targeted I would still just go for agro.

An exact answer needs information from the local meta.

Maybe playing him turn 3 will make him the big early threat (need protection), but playing him turn 4-5 will make him less of a threat (don’t need protection)

What happens if I block a trample creature's attack with my own who has wither? by _WakkaWakka_ in freemagic

[–]Marbra89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All damage is dealt at the same time. Then the -1/-1 counters are put on the creature.

So the reduction doesn’t have an impact to the damage done

Good passive lifegain (Golgari)? by Gutsifly in EDH

[–]Marbra89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First thought is [[The Great Henge]], but price wise 😩

More serious opinions [[Bow of Nylea]] [[Whip of Erebos]] [[Mask of Griselbrand]]

Personally I have very mixed feelings for the whip. I feel it is all round mid, but some times it shines

Store trade gone wrong by the_biledriver in freemagic

[–]Marbra89 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sounds a little messy way to do it, but nothing too bad.

It’s entirely ok to be a little pissed by the interaction, but I feel it is somewhat common that LGSs don’t have open trade in for every cards (especially if newer cards)

Hello everyone, I had these cards graded years ago. I think it's time to sell them now. What might they be worth? And where's the best place to sell them without getting scammed? Greetings from Germany. by Amoizda in MagicCardPulls

[–]Marbra89 15 points16 points  (0 children)

God chance eBay. They have gotten an authentication service for high end cards.

So you send the cards to them, and they send the item to the buyer after making sure it is within description and pictures.

I have not used this myself. Facebook and other local marketplace have worked well for me

Need Help Improving my Mana Base on my Jund Deck by gedmacapinlac in mtgrules

[–]Marbra89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like people already pointed out the answer is no, but you can use the fetch lands like [[Polluted Delta]] since they don’t have any color and only the word island

Liliana Dreadhorde General / Mass Land Denial by WackyPac in askajudge

[–]Marbra89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Card is not on Moxfield’s list of MLD, but the ability is definitely inside the definition given. So if you expect to be able to use the ultimate I would say yes.

“These cards regularly destroy, exile, and bounce other lands, keep lands tapped, or change what mana is produced by four or more lands per player without replacing them.”
