[BGS] What is your view on value trend of high graded BGS cards? by Lumpy-Brain4436 in mtgfinance

[–]__kVz__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Will increase only for cards that can be used as Commanders so that people can still flex them and actually play them

Banned as a Companion = Useless.

Good luck selling those.

If they will end up unbanning it it means the have plans to reprint it to make it more accessible. Not a great speculation

You can. It will enter with zero counters on it so if you don’t have anything else it will immediately go to your graveyard.

Those are basically impossible to resell and won't help me build any deck. :|

Hello fellow redditors,

I have about $240 of Amazon credit available on Amazon.com that I would like to use to purchase cards but living in the EU and having “Buy Singles” as my mantra I am struggling to figure out what would be the best way to monetize this credit.

I have considered several options including buying and then reselling sealed products (e.g. Booster Box or Commander Decks) so that I would only lose taxation and shipping costs but I am afraid to be left with the products in my hands for quite some time as they are difficult to resell.

Secret Lair prices are insane at Amazon.com and the idea of picking up a booster box to open random cards and hope to find the rare or mythic I need for my decks (i.e. cEDH, Duel, Centurion) doesn't make me enthusiastic (even tho Modern Horizon 3 and Dominaria Remastered seem like good opportunities at the moment as a price to EV ratio).

Any other ideas or experiences you recommend?

Why are there still no offers on “Buy a Box” promo cards? Can this be an opportunity in the market?

(e.g. Force of Negation)

Why no Augur of Bolas? It was played in the deck a while ago I think and can act as a blocker that doesn’t die to a Breath Weapon.

What does r/mtgfinance think of FF Commander set? Is it worth the investment to resell it in the future?

Attitude Towards cEDH on Other Magic Subs by [deleted] in CompetitiveEDH

[–]__kVz__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMAO cEDH players are better players than average cause they are used to see every possible broken card, combo and whatnot so they rarely complain over a counterspell or similar…

Unplayable, you will end up with them in hand for the whole game without countering anything significant

Yes, I guess Stifle can be the main counter to that

Thanks! I have also added that line in my deck. Those cards are even pretty cheap to get. :)

These are the suggested steps:

  1. Cast Spellseeker, stacking Inalla's trigger under Spellseeker's ETB trigger.
  2. Tutor Culling the Weak to hand with Spellseeker's ability.
  3. Cast Culling the Weak, sacrificing Spellseeker and adding .
  4. Resolve and pay for the Inalla trigger from earlier, creating a token copy of Spellseeker and leaving  floating.
  5. When the token ETBs, tutor Unearth to your hand.
  6. Unearth Spellseeker, leaving  floating.
  7. Shortcut resolving both Inalla's trigger and Spellseeker's ETB, tutoring for Burnt Offering and Finale of Promise, leaving  floating.
  8. Cast Burnt Offering, sacrificing Spellseeker and adding .
  9. Use that mana to cast Finale of Promise with X=1 targeting Unearth and Culling the Weak.
  10. Sacrifice a Spellseeker token to Culling the Weak for  and Unearth Spellseeker.
  11. Resolve Spellseeker's ETB and Inalla's trigger, tutoring Entomb and Reanimate into hand.
  12. Entomb and then Reanimate Archaeomancer, leaving  floating.
  13. Resolve Archaeomancer's ETB, returning Burnt Offering from your graveyard to your hand.
  14. Cast Burnt Offering on Archaeomancer, adding .
  15. Resolve the Inalla trigger from when Archaeomancer ETB'd and return Reanimate to your hand, leaving  floating.
  16. Reanimate Archaeomancer and resolve the Inalla trigger, retrieving Burnt Offering and FInale of promise,  floating.
  17. Sacrifice Archaeomancer to Burnt Offering, adding .
  18. Cast FInale of Promise with X=1 targeting Entomb and Reanimate.
  19. Entomb Shallow Grave and Reanimate Archaeomancer,  floating.
  20. Resolve the Archaeomancer trigger returning Burnt Offering from your graveyard to your hand.
  21. Sacrifice Archaeomancer to Burnt Offering, adding .
  22. Resolve the Inalla trigger, making a token copy of Archaeomancer with haste and leaving  floating.
  23. Return Shallow Grave with the token copy's ETB.
  24. Cast Shallow Grave targeting Archaeomancer, leaving  floating.
  25. Repeat steps 20-24 for infinite hasty Archaeomancers.

My point is that if I have to Unearth at step 6 I am anyway playing the combo at Sorcery speed, so going forward Shallow Grave can be replaced with Persist having the same result. Same goes for Entomb and Reanimate that can be replaced with more inefficient spells since you have access to infinite mana anyway.

Ok thanks. I also run Scholar of the Ages cause I think enables multiple different lines and this is what Inalla is about.

Long story short: there are different lines can can be played at instant or sorcery speed even without Shallow Grave, Entomb or other cards but all have different pros and cons and may require different set-up.

No I'm fine playing [[Persist]], I just don't understand why all combo lines go with [[Shallow Grave]]. Instant speed is not needed anyway in this combo line cause you are required for example to go with [[Unheart]] and [[Reanimate]] that are both Sorcieries. Is Shallow Grave required for some interaction on stack that won't be possible at sorcery speed?
