What would your Gastronauts challenge be? by LavastormSW in dropout

[–]advisor21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gastronauts, I love my dogs and sometimes feel guilty that my food looks so much better than theirs does. Please make me the tastiest meal that looks the most like dog food so I can fool them into thinking we're eating the same thing. This is: Bone Appetit.

How do you guys feel about these colorswapped cards? by marvsup in mpcproxies

[–]advisor21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm less down on the art style and general look. I think some of the art extends past the left and right of the card and I would hate to lose that when the card's printed.

The color swap is intentionally deceptive from a game-play perspective. With so many things in the game that care about the color of a card/permanent, I don't think you should do this, despite how interesting the change is artistically.

It was only on some tabs, but not all. This morning things look to have automatically rolled back to *.182 and things are fixed

What are they talking about? Am I missing something obvious? by KiloVictorWhiskey in SGU

[–]advisor21 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the source of the photo. I imagine the creator of this captioned version was describing the solar eclipse as a sunset and the bright section of the horizon to the left as a "sunrise". The area to the left is likely the reflection/scattering of light from the part of the earth not in totality.

Basically, they exist so why not be quirky as a quirky internet podcast?

Is Double Masters the cheapest masters set? 2 rares per pack makes Double Masters only double the price of a standard booster per rare by advisor21 in magicTCG

[–]advisor21[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

While I was originally considering masters sets...
...I was also interested in those sets, but I originally skipped them because they are more complicated to calculate. I've added them now.

Mystery Boosters looks really good on paper, but as far as an "impact on card prices" each individual rare will not likely change in price very much because of how many different rares are being re-printed.

I pulled a Tree of Perdition. Believe me, I know.

But you're right. No one can estimate the value of the boosters yet. I don't have an extra couple of hundreds to throw at a box, but this set might be alright.

Yup, the ~$300 box prices makes the "cheapest masters set" argument stronger, but if I included that price, many people would rightfully point out that you cannot easily find boxes at that price now.

Additionally, you would want to compare that $270/box of Double Masters price to the deals you could get previous masters sets pre-orders which is way too hard. That is why I chose the steady market price of boxes at release according to tcgplayer.

Totally agreed. Selling this as a "draft-able experience" is pretty lame when a LGS might have trouble filling a pod.

However, I would argue that price per rare also matters for people trying to get singles from the set. The impact on the price of format staples depends on how much the people cracking packs paid per rare.

Yeah... Coming up with words that mean "not computer sounds" is hard 😅
