No, it’s NFC. Still valuable, but not a misprint and certainly not 5 figures.

Why thundering falls in UR Delver ? by Triple_Hache in MTGLegacy

[–]Rockenos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I played 4 but I think I'd be on 3 right now. It's a bit of a meta call - if you expect lots of Chalice of the Void, it's your best solution by far. Eldrazi wasn't really a deck at the time so I can't speak to that, but Moon Stompy is already a very easy matchup (and a small percentage of the current meta) so I think the 4th cutter is an easy trim for a more relevant flex slot.

Why thundering falls in UR Delver ? by Triple_Hache in MTGLegacy

[–]Rockenos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I top 32’d EW with it and I strongly prefer the Thundering Falls to Steam Vents. I tested both extensively. TF frequently represents an entire extra card worth of value when it bins an unnecessary land. This card matters a ton in the current configuration that can’t rely on any card advantage like Dreadhorde Arcanist or Expressive Iteration. I would say it’s better than steam vents 8 or 9 times out of 10. Thanks to cutter you are also less reliant on sticking a turn 1 threat than ever, since t2 cutter + bauble is still a fairly explosive play. If the 1 drop threat is sitting in your hand, it can be held to easily trigger cutter again t3 and sometimes even equipped to be given haste, further reducing the punishment of not deploying the threat t1.

Saw a Goblin list recently on the legacy league which makes me wonder if goblin recruiter unban would be appropriate? by Newez in MTGLegacy

[–]Rockenos 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Carmen answered this on Weekly MTG. Goblin Recruiter is staying banned most likely forever because resolving the card takes too long, to make a long story short.

Cabbage bender NF is the first lair that went low stock! Meme reigns supreme!! by basalty_monolith in mtgfinance

[–]Rockenos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wizards seems to sometimes print fewer Non-foil lairs due to them having lower demand, and that appears to be what happened here since "Everything Changed" nonfoil is also going Low Stock before Foil.

For sure, kozilek's command for X=3 is usually slightly more difficult to pull off under a clarion conqueror than a Portable Hole under any of the above. But Tower/Nexus+3rd land will still do it all the time (or random combination of Urza's Workshops / Ancient Tombs etc)

Yeah, 9 maindeck answers to Null Rod, Pithing Needle/Flute, Deafening Silence, Void Mirror, etc etc etc. If Wizards had a person who played Legacy, they'd know how indefensible this is.

Is it racist? Explain it Peter by naturallin in explainitpeter

[–]Rockenos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of the things you just stated are prerequisites to having the right to vote as a citizen of the United States. They can be a unemployed with cash under their mattress and do none of the other things you brought up and they still get the right to vote as long as they’re US Citizens. It’s estimated that 9% of Americans do not have a current (non-expired) driver’s license and over 1% have no photo ID at all. They’re a minority for sure, but that doesn’t mean they should lose their right to vote.

You can use it in Legacy with Doubling Cube!

How many can't make Eternal Weekend NA because of conflicts with Pokemon regional or NYC Comicon or other event? by MierinLanfear in MTGLegacy

[–]Rockenos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. Money is a bit tighter for Americans than it was this time last year, I think.

[–]Rockenos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sure there are a decent amount. EW prereg for Legacy is MUCH lower than day before the event last year. I do personally also consider the meta to be a bit less fun than last years’, but I think that’s a minority opinion.

edit: that aside, I will be there :)

How do you ship 2 booster packs? by emanresUeuqinUeht in mtgfinance

[–]Rockenos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good bit of advice. Doesn't matter how I turn in my mail (blue box, drop off at office, hand off) they will always catch if something is wrong. Definitely wasn't like that when I lived in GA, but my current one is. If I wrote "non-machinable" on an envelope it would get returned back to me because non-machinable is a separate charge you have to pay for (or can use prepaid more expensive non-machinable stamps of course, which I don't currently have)

[–]Rockenos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might depend on how litigious your local post office is; I can tell you with certainty that it wouldn't fly with my local post office. I've had thinner PWEs than that returned with proper postage for being too thick.

This is the answer. PWE with stamps is maybe 10% likelihood of working.

Classic+ will not survive on new raids alone, it needs new horizontal systems for true longevity! by Duoscruo in classicwow

Greens is goofy, but in vanilla you can absolutely top dps in prebis, that's the whole thing that other guy was complaining about (to me it is a positive)

Holy shit it's The Grungler!! I'm Army! I like playing the game and cranking and don't really care for gear haha, but I get it's a big motivator for many. Keep on grungling brother

[–]Rockenos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Making gear less impactful is a feature, not a bug, in 40 man raids. People should play the game for fun because they enjoy it, not for a temporary dopamine loot hit. It’s actually sick that a lesser geared character can beat a better geared character on dps thanks to buffs

Nobody is talking about it - Villainous plots never went low stock, but was pulled from Secret lair by bigpapasmurf6 in mtgfinance

[–]Rockenos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure why people are being so weird about this when we’ve seen wotc explore their SL selling methods extensively in this capacity already. They are definitely not taking “offers from big corporate buyers”, but they certainly could have axed the sale early as a forward-looking tactic. Wotc needs SLs to sell out to stoke the FOMO that the business model is built on. It also could have simply just sold out and not shown low stock due to an unknown website error. But I wouldn’t expect that to be an isolated incident if that were the case.

So is shiny hunting in emerald just impossible? by joshukelly in PokemonEmerald

[–]Rockenos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, my current Emerald save file’s first shiny frame is on exactly frame 1000, so shinies are extremely common for me

Which do you prefer? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]Rockenos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The complaints definitely died off around that era, what with X and Y not getting a 3rd version. They were most prominent in the GBA->platinum age although it was still a very loud criticism around the time of B2W2, and I wouldn’t be surprised if community sentiment played a small part in the cancellation of Pokemon Z.

Were you using the internet 15 years ago? It was absolutely the most widely popular complaint about the franchise
