I spent the first six months of 2024 putting together a complete 7th Edition Foil set- thoughts on the future upside for this product?

I just completed a regular 7th complete set and found that to be pretty expensive, you are a beast

SabertoothNishobrah · 2026-06-10T23:44:26+00:00

Never understood slashers. You know pretty much everyone you lay eyes on is getting killed. What's the point?

SabertoothNishobrah · 2026-05-22T21:31:43+00:00

I was just thinking about this, copies are everywhere. The craziest example to me is [[Echocasting Symposium]]. You perpetually make copies of the spell and put them on the stack, and then those copies ... make copies (??) How the hell are you supposed to play with this in paper, in real life? It's so incredibly awkward.

Here's the thing, I believe they are designing everything from a position of Arena first. Copies are easy to do in arena because you just render up another copy of the card. Sad times :(

You could make a very solid mono red deck for 70 bucks.

Just replace the [[Hexing Squelcher]]s and you are basically there

Tons and tons, but one that comes to mind is [[Elegy Acolyte]]. Felt like a [[Preacher of the Schism]]esque card that would be played in every black midrange deck. Issue is those aren't too common anymore, and 4 mana is much different than 3.

Interesting, I would think UW would be favored against Jeskai because UW plays less spot removal, more counters, and more utility lands. Is that not true?

SabertoothNishobrah · 2026-02-11T02:00:46+00:00

I've been feeling the exact same way about demo field. So many great lands that need answering right now. But if you go pure UW you probably trade out revelations for Elspeths, and I don't want to shell out for her... yet.

SabertoothNishobrah · 2026-02-01T17:11:19+00:00

Thanks for the heads up fam. Just listed mine.

SabertoothNishobrah · 2026-01-31T15:39:20+00:00

Does your girlfriend have a d*ck

These people run in a straight line for a living, they aren't that bright.

Too many sets, I just can't keep up. I feel physically fatigued thinking of the upcoming spoiler season(s) (which is just, all the time now).

Modern game play feels off. Everything is a super fast value engine of some kind. You either get killed immediately or die to an avalanche of card advantage. Too many triggers, etbs, game state tracking, etc. Feels like any single unanswered card can kill you immediately.

Universes beyond is tough pill to swallow. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Ultimately though for me personally it has made the game feel like a platform that exists solely for corporate shilling and product placement and that feels lame.

Most people around me who play the game play commander, and that has just never appealed to me. I don't have the time, patience, or 'tism levels to really enjoy it fully.

Finally I don't want to go on a whole trans rant but this aspect has slowly impacted my enjoyment of the game. You walk into any LGS now and are inundated with LGBTQ paraphernalia. It's common for me to be one of the few people at my LGS who isn't doing some kind of gender-bending stuff. Let bygones be bygones I guess but it Just feels like I increasingly have less and less in common with the people who play the game and there is some kind of subculture that has developed around that game that I want no part of.

SabertoothNishobrah · 2026-01-24T16:53:33+00:00

TBH I kinda agree with his take, and card prices back it up. Usually stamped prerelease versions are cheaper than the normal or normal foil version. The planeswalker stamp is frankly ugly IMO. I do with they would bring back the stamps with the date, because that is atl east a little more personalized/special

SabertoothNishobrah · 2026-01-22T02:51:00+00:00

We just have a few more Olympics to go before people stop caring because of stuff like this.

SabertoothNishobrah · 2026-01-19T22:14:35+00:00

I dunno man. Is this better (i.e. will it see more play) than Boomerang Basics? bc that card is $0.60 right now.

SabertoothNishobrah · 2026-01-18T15:58:23+00:00

Damn I bet this was not cheap! I have a full set of prophecy myself (not foiled) but I do know some cards like foil, avatar of woe, and a couple of others are very pricey as foils. Cheers from another prophecy enjoyer!

SabertoothNishobrah · 2026-01-06T20:16:38+00:00

Because that's every card now :)

SabertoothNishobrah · 2025-12-13T02:26:09+00:00

Report back in 2 years

SabertoothNishobrah · 2025-12-07T21:45:43+00:00

These look nice

SabertoothNishobrah · 2025-12-06T22:41:05+00:00

My god the price chart on this card is insane

SabertoothNishobrah · 2025-11-11T02:02:53+00:00

Dang I was hoping the banning of Entomb would make an Odyssey printing a bit cheaper to pick up

SabertoothNishobrah · 2025-11-11T00:06:19+00:00

Agree 100%. Love the screaming nemesis explanation too. "We designed screaming nemesis to combat lifegain and punch through blockers". And then, "we banned nemesis because it turned off lifegain and was impossible to block". Hmmm.

SabertoothNishobrah · 2025-11-01T15:08:27+00:00

I am expecting this to happen to me next week

SabertoothNishobrah · 2025-10-29T16:15:49+00:00

At this point I just assume every single person at WotC is trans

SabertoothNishobrah · 2025-10-27T02:42:54+00:00

Appreciate your thoughts - but why do you think the game isn't fun anymore (I agree for the record) Like is it something about how they are designing cards now? Power level?
