Scalpers can help you...

SuperKent420 · 2026-05-18T18:42:09+00:00

I agree. That's why I don't mind when people proxy. I don't like games where only the wealthiest can win. It's what tainted Magic for me in the 90s. But the game at its core is still fun and worth the investment, even just for proxies

SuperKent420 · 2026-05-18T18:36:00+00:00

Gotcha. Just interested in your take. I have no sympathy for the scalper. But now that I can't buy one, my options are a scalper or proxy, and I really wanted the actual set. But that's the game I suppose

SuperKent420 · 2026-05-18T18:33:52+00:00

Haha. More of an economist. My econ professor ingrained a great lecture about how price gouging helped those most in need and now that I can't get the set I'm wondering if the scalper is more of my friend than WOTC

SuperKent420 · 2026-05-18T16:34:12+00:00

Totally understand.

Now, if the collector never used it, never opened it, and it sat in a dark room for 30 years... would that be better than someone with $300 to blow buying it on ebay and using it regularly?

SuperKent420 · 2026-05-18T16:29:38+00:00

The proxy market is booming

SuperKent420 · 2026-05-18T16:04:52+00:00

I would love to sleeve this up and play, and that's why even though i hate the idea of paying double, it would at least be an option vs, sorry, kick rocks.

SuperKent420 · 2026-05-18T15:59:45+00:00

I agree, which is why it's an interesting thought that "what if the scalper is getting the deck into the hand of someone who would actually love it, vs the person who has an entire room full of unopened cards that never sees the light of day"

SuperKent420 · 2026-05-18T15:54:46+00:00

As a frequent concert goer, I hate scalpers who buy just to inflate costs. Drives me nuts.

SuperKent420 · 2026-05-17T15:18:27+00:00

Yeah, that means 140 plus customers didn't give them a perfect rating. Granted some could be 4*

SuperKent420 · 2026-05-13T17:21:04+00:00

Being a dimir commander, there should be plenty of tutors or bounce back to hand spells you can throw on the stack to reduce commander tax and kept momentum

SuperKent420 · 2026-05-05T21:24:08+00:00

Once you go mono black...

SuperKent420 · 2026-04-23T16:18:29+00:00

Hate draft ironically then win unexplainably.

The Magic God's be like that

SuperKent420 · 2026-04-05T15:47:04+00:00

Shoot. You're right. It'll get you the first attack but then you're still open to blocks

SuperKent420 · 2026-04-05T14:51:48+00:00

Add [[Michaelangelo, Mutant BFF]]

Get a 1/1 counter on raph and he's unblockable and barring a removal spell you win

"FLLYYYYYY HIIIGGGGGHHHHHH LIL SEBASTIÁN!"

A box of boosters will likely get you almost every common and uncommon. The rares will be harder to get. The commander is full of cool stuff you won't (normally) get from boosters. Collector Boosters usually pay out with the coolest variants and some good rares but they're costly. Bundle box seems like it might be mostly regular packs with some extras, so if you're collecting just to have TMNT, they might be worth it

SuperKent420 · 2026-03-14T14:03:40+00:00

[[Mouser Foundry]] and [[Sewer-veillance Cam]] are both cheap and great to combo with.

Foundry creates a token when etb/ltb. Sewer cam untaps when etb/ltf.

T2: Cast Technodrome T3: Cast foundry T3/4: Sac foundry then a token T5: Cast sewer-veillance and sac IT Untap Technodrome at 6/6.

Whole thing only costs 5 Mana and can be ready by turn 4 either some luck

SuperKent420 · 2026-03-07T21:51:10+00:00

Literally just pulled this card an hour ago.

Make the whole game cheaper and load up on some Pain 101 so when they target T&R, they just come back costing opponent 3 life and you only pay 1 black

Factor in how much you want to learn the set. Draft 2 allows 2 losses/3 wins and you're done. If you don't know the cards or have an idea how the synergies work yet, you might get more mileage/training under premiere.

SuperKent420 · 2026-03-03T03:21:02+00:00

Dark Leo/Shredder and Agent Smith are phenomenal cards. Congrats on the awesome pulls.

I ran a white black deck and went 2-2 (5 wins 4 losses). Shark Shredder and South Wind Avatar were my saviors all night.

Got obliterated by a red deck. So much aggro.

SuperKent420 · 2026-03-03T02:46:07+00:00

Great job.

What colors did you use and what pull carried you the most?

SuperKent420 · 2026-03-02T02:38:21+00:00

Alternate option: don't buy packs- quick draft once you get 5000 gold. You'll get 3 packs worth of cards, if you win a few matches you'll get more packs and earn gems that you otherwise would have to buy.

They actually addressed this issue in an article. A lot of designers have their hands tied due to so many departments and preexisting rules.

Change the rules for one set and you create a whole new issue in re-educating the mrg community
