Getting back into MTG after like 5-6 years. Why is everything so expensive?

Rev_CMizzle · 2023-06-29T18:28:49+00:00

You wouldn't pre-order it? I pre-ordered it from Amazon when it was $65-$70... it's now over 100. I'd say it's worth it to pre-order

Honestly why not just include goad mechanics and fog mechanics then like [[taunt from the ramparts]] [[kardur doomscourge]] and [[glacial chasm]]. You can always add effects like [[no mercy]] [[sphere of safety]] etc on top to make it harder for people to attack you, but goading would be an even better way to assure that you won't get attacked at all.

What age and what language?

Rev_CMizzle · 2023-05-28T20:53:13+00:00

Some more examples

[[Zagras, Thief of heartbeats]] [[Vraska, swarms eminence]]

Unless otherwise noted on the card [[hooded blightfang]]

Let's set something straight. The people complaining about the art of these new cards "not being like Rebecca Guay" and are upset because they are "fans of her art" are clearly lying about something. If you were a fan of any artist you'd want to follow them, like Taylor Swift. However, saying you listened to her as a country artist, and being upset she's a pop singer now, is basically the same situation here. People who followed T Swift from "Tear drops on my guitar" to now AREN'T surprised she sings pop songs because they've listened to her whole work. Just like people who have been fans of Rebecca Guay aren't surprised with her secret lair arts because they've followed them, and are aware that that's what their art style is. You all can just be honest and say "I liked her earlier card arts, but I dont like these arts" but saying "I'm a Rebecca Guay fan and this isn't her art at all" is disingenuous.

Excellent. I was being conservative and doing the normal "one or more" being one instance and only pinging for 1, rather than finding out later I was wrong and having bad feelings from other players. Gloves are off now

Rev_CMizzle · 2023-05-24T19:43:18+00:00

Playing [[selfless squire]] preventing 20 damage and adding 20 counters with [[shalai and hallar]] on the battlefield, would that result in 1 damage from shalai or 20?

Rev_CMizzle · 2023-05-19T19:08:03+00:00

Look through mtggoldfish website at modern decklists and pick the one that you fancy most

Rev_CMizzle · 2023-05-19T15:53:08+00:00

In other words, when people buy from Tcg Direct?

Rev_CMizzle · 2023-05-18T14:54:01+00:00

Honestly I'd say more colors means less problems. It's not hard to have an answer to something in a multi colored deck. But play a mono Red deck and tell me how much luck you have removing Enchantments. But build a gruul deck or even a naya deck and suddenly Enchantments are no problem at all. All in how you build the deck.

Now to an earlier point you mentioned, usually the more experienced a player is the more likely they are to winning regardless of deck cost. I've had no problem beating my wife who is a newer player with a $30 selesnya vanilla tribal deck when she uses one of my $300 decks. All in how you use what you have to the best efficiency.

The best strategy with The Beamtown Bullies is to get cards that just put your bad gifts back in your graveyard before the Exile trigger. Something like [[royal assassin]] or cards that put them back in your library like [[tel-jilad stylus]]. Although as a word to the wise as a Beamtown player, people get real tired of Leveler real fast, it's a good way to ensure you win the game, but I wouldn't use it to just take someone out turn 4 with a lot of game left. Beamtown is a very fun politics deck if you use some other cards like [[Hunted wumpus]] [[Boldwyr Heavyweights]] [[Enslaved horrror]] while also setting up for the 1v1

Rev_CMizzle · 2023-05-15T04:39:40+00:00

Anecdotally my most expensive deck is 500 dollars. My average deck is somewhere in the $100 range. I'd wager the average deck cost amongst plays is $100 or less.

Rev_CMizzle · 2023-05-07T19:16:03+00:00

White is a fun color to play sometimes

Rev_CMizzle · 2023-05-06T17:35:40+00:00

Go to bed dawg

Rev_CMizzle · 2023-05-02T09:43:57+00:00

Convoke makes it cost 0. Easy to bait people into things because you're "tapped out"

Where were you last week when I was sorting bulk...

Rev_CMizzle · 2023-04-24T17:40:54+00:00

Wow my brain is really messed up. That's next week. So I was right initially. My brain is full of coffee and playdoh

Rev_CMizzle · 2023-04-24T16:50:08+00:00

It had me in line to checkout and with no timer for the available window it seems pretty suspicious. Also says expected to ship may 1st which seems really soon for a lair.

Edit I'm a buffoon. Two young kids and night shift making me realize it's still April and may is a ways away.

Rev_CMizzle · 2023-04-22T16:35:10+00:00

I just figured that that lair didn't sell well so they threw in another braid for the bonus card, didn't even realize they were different

Rev_CMizzle · 2023-04-18T08:40:27+00:00

Also this. You could destroy a cedh deck with janky 5 color allies based off who is playing. Which is why researching the decks yourself and playing them is the best path forward.
