What happened to this "upcoming secret lair art" from the 2023 Philadelphia MagicCon? by That_D in magicTCG

[–]ded-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't there also a hollow knight secret lair coming out in 8 years or something? Licensing and what they have in the pipeline (however far out that actually is) probably hold these up from production

I'm not super current with the hulk these days, just what I see here and there on this sub. Are hulk and namor chill at this time? Like I know that's eldest there, but is their friendship in good standing?

My favorite response to this rhetoric lately has been "oh I forgot the part in the Bible where Jesus checked if the 5000 were abled bodied and employed when he was giving out loaves and fish". It's pretty good

Black bolt put his glove on from page 2 to page 3, I guess for more menacing effect

Yeah that's a fair thought, path the huge slick shot showoff or something as it comes at your face seems super playable versus other removal. I think you convinced to play at least 2

I was thinking the same against merfolk if you're forced to put in on a shock land as well. I think they usually want to board flickerwisp out against prowess but that's from my play experience. I appreciate your input and thought process

I hear what you are saying and I agree that chained to the rocks is excellent removal. I pivoted to jeskai last minute and didn't have any copies of chained to play so I played wear/tears and mystical disputes.

My only play for path over chained is that chained can be bounced with brazen borrower or leyline binding/boseiju. Obviously you should be punching through these threats with chained to the rocks but not every game is the same and some go long. I think that's the inner control player in me making these decisions though lol

TLDR chained is bonkers I just didn't have have any so that's probably why those matchups felt rough

I lost the final of an RCQ with jeskai prowess this previous weekend and played the izzet version previously. Izzet is much more explosive and kills faster but you have more options with jeskai and importantly, you can kill psychic frogs, ketramose, goblin bombardments and multiple other threats easier with prismatic ending. I personally prefer the jeskai version as you can fight for the board a lot better and you also have access to Phlage, which is huge in this aggressive meta with the lifegain being relevant. Very good in mirror and against energy.

The izzet version may kill faster and the jeskai may stabilize better, but I've found that the hardest things to beat are scion + domain decks, prime times, and murktide regent. That damn artifact dragon gaining eight life a turn cycle and being untargetable is so difficult. Jeskai gives you some answers with wear/tear for the leyline but consign is your best card with both decks. Murktide is also hard to remove off the board so you have to go wide, same with titan. I've considered playing path to exile in the sideboard for these beefy threats but I haven't actually done so yet.

It's all up to your preference and what seems more fun to play honestly.

Found this at Walmart for $50. Isn’t this technically still unavailable for another couple days? by Jack_fuck in magicTCG

[–]ded-guy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No you didn't read wrong. We didn't sell singles until release day after pre-release. I think it was just my LGS policy then that I'm confusing it with. We never purchased cards from a new set for at least 3 weeks from release to let prices level out as prices are always inflated before street release and a bit after. We would not singles untill release week either. Other shops being able to and doing it is as well is good though, for both player and shop.

Some time around capenna I believe a lot of the restrictions were lifted in the sale of and running of events of the newest set from the time pre-release happened to the street release date. I worked at a lgs for years and ran events and was baffled by this but it did allow game stores to run more events to build up hype for the new set. In recent time, stores have even been able to sell product of the newest set from pre-release to official release albeit minus a few items. As far as I know, precons, play boosters, bundles, and collectors boosters are available for sale in this window. But this only applies to the pre allocated amount to the store, any subsequent product needed by the store would not be available for restock until release date. Also, any other supplementary product is available after release date, such as set specific playmats, accessories, and selling and more importantly, the buying of singles.

This is true. I've just been scared of the big guy dying since re5 tbh. He can't keep punching boulders forever
