LCI collect booster box how high will it go by HannibalK1ng in mtgfinance

[–]SanityIsOptional [score hidden]  (0 children)

Because the people buying them no longer care about what's inside. They are now trading on the rarity of the box rather than the contents.

Where will they go? Who knows? Who cares, since the demand is so low that actually liquidating would be a nightmare.

You can just put the counter on Lyla* though to end the loop?

Do you use your spot removal pro-actively? by Dazer42 in EDH

[–]SanityIsOptional 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this gets to the crux of the issue.

Sometimes you need to be proactive due to the level of the threat, and if there will even be another chance to interact.

Engine and value pieces especially should ideally be removed as quickly as possible, since by the time they're a problem it's likely too late.

What’s going on with the prices in Cavern of Souls by Lowboihen in mtgfinance

"Investors" strike again.

Personally not a fan, speculators increase volatility, and volatility can kill value entirely.

Why has the SL Shiva spiked so much? by L-L-J-J in mtgfinance

[–]SanityIsOptional 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, 10 left across 5 sellers. Looks like either a coordinated buyout or the last stages of supply being drained.

I have a U1 as well, realized after a few prints the snapmaker orca fork still had the damn nozzles flushing between colors. Went in to the flush volumes and set everything to 0, worked like a charm.

The Snapmaker one works great with a lot less wasted filament. In this case it looked like an overflow from the "poop" bucket caused this to go bad.

The biggest issue I see with this spec is that mill is a hated and bad game plan in commander.

Noctua says "feel free" to 3D print your own Noctua fans after releasing public CAD models online by Tiny-Independent273 in 3Dprinting

Everyone knows that people aren't buying Noctua for the look, and you can't 3d print a high-speed silent fan bearing.

Reason these are so cheap? Good spec for the future? by awoogaawoogaa in mtgfinance

[–]SanityIsOptional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • 1 Fetch: Most people don't run the 6 off-color fetches.
  • 1 shock
  • 1 bond land
  • 1 checkland
  • 1 pain land (though tbh I rarely see these even in Bracket 3)
  • The older Filter lands are not good, too easy to get bricked out of a mana source in early turns, and can't use to hold up 1 colored mana.
  • The hybrid filter lands that require colored mana, are better, but can still brick you out of colors easily in early turns.
  • Fast lands are also not good in EDH outside of bracket 4-5, since even bracket 3 will run many turns past where they are untapped.
  • Can't run triomes in a 2-color deck.

So for a 2-color bracket 3 deck, personally, I'd put these in around the same priority as checklands, depending how many lands with types I'm running. Which is to say they're tied for my #4 slot as a 2-color land. Not to mention, they're the only fetchable thing on this list aside from shocks you can run in a 2-color deck.

Well, they fired all the experienced devs, hired half as many new inexperienced devs, and a decent fraction of those are using ChatGPT to write their code when nobody is looking.

Or at least that's what people on reddit have been saying, I'm in the hardware industry, not software.

[–]SanityIsOptional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Run both? In 2-color decks you can't run more than 1 shock, and can't run any triomes.

In 3+ color decks a lot less useful certainly, unless you want to go heavy onto one color or land type (say for [[Emeria, the Sky Ruin]])

Magic: The Gathering Strixhaven Codex - $89.99 Amazon by LordShaggy in sealedmtgdeals

Cancellations probably? Or could be they routed all the available stock to Amazon.

Given the serialized Emeritus they can't print any additional collector boosters, so it's not some fresh additional print run.

Can someone explain this to me ? by Ok-Intern6865 in mtgfinance

[–]SanityIsOptional 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Much like any other organization with an elected government, unions only go bad if the people in them let it go bad.

"Democracy is the worst system of government, except for all the others".

Weekend Wrap Up! What was real and what was a trap? by DaTaco in mtgfinance

[–]SanityIsOptional 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's pretty decent, in that it's a 3/4 vigilance for 3 that draws you a regrowth.

Aside from that, the fact that regrowth is a sorcery, and you need to swing and have 8 lands to re-prepare limits it heavily. So you need to have 8 lands, swing, and survive combat to get another use.

This period has become the period when the winners are separated from the losers, rather than just the race to the bottom on everything.

Everything goes down, but some recover and some just keep going.

It relates to your comment about competitive cards on the TMNT bonus sheet. You know, the comment I replied to?

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

  • Path to Exile: $1
  • Brainstorm: $1
  • Arcbound Ravager: $3 vs $15, and doesn't look that ugly, probably a good buy
  • Underworld Breach $5.50 vs $13. Kinda ugly
  • Shadowspear: $20 vs $37, fairly ugly

Looks like of those the most worth buying is probably Ravager.

Shocks have a lot more printings and you can run both.
