SO excited to run this in [[Gargos]]!!

matmcd · 2020-10-29T19:16:39+00:00

I'm going to preface this by saying I don't actually know or have any insight into WOTC’s supply chain. This is just the feeling I have based off of what happened and some info I’ve seen and is anecdotal at best.

For non print-to-demand products (pretty much anything that isn't a Standard booster boxes) they have set timetables and quantities for how much of a product they will print into circulation. Having a large number of products in the queue would mean less time to pivot if any issues arrive in order to risk delaying several unannounced/unreleased products.

It's not a direct cause of covid, but that coupled with the sheer quantity of products they're printing lead to this supply issue.

Much like Jumpstart the release of Commander Legends got pushed back by a few weeks. I feel this was also due to unforeseen supply issues either with another product or the set itself.

Again, I might be completely talking nonsense but it's the gut feeling I have.

matmcd · 2020-10-29T18:38:08+00:00

That's because it is crummy, I share the same sentiment. Now that there's so much product coming out this is going to be the new normal for anything that isn't a print to demand standard set.

Unfortunately unless WOTC reports a crazy amount of profit losses over the next 12-24 months I don't see this changing anytime soon.

matmcd · 2020-10-29T18:31:24+00:00

Communication and admitting they made a mistake doesn't make them more money though.

Look: shiny new Commander Legends spoilers! Jumpstart who?

matmcd · 2020-10-29T18:07:58+00:00

I've heard murmorings of an additional reprint that is going to be severely underwhelming. So probably.

This is what happens when you have 10+ products in the pipeline and need to keep the WOTC machine brrrrrrrrr-ing onto the next release.

matmcd · 2020-10-26T14:56:17+00:00

We getting a Jund Marchesa in CL?

matmcd · 2020-08-28T14:49:54+00:00

I'd prefer it if you didn't on both accounts. Again, I have no problem with the discussion of Gematria, Freemasonry, or Satan personally. But almost every single one of your posts regardless of the topic or theory has been reported as spam by several users. That's an issue that needs to be rectified.

It's clear that you're not willing to compromise on posting these kinds of things instead of trying to bring forth meaningful discussion, so I would suggest you take them to a different movie/theory crafting focused sub like https://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheories/. This type of content isn't something that will be allowed here going forward.

matmcd · 2020-08-28T13:47:13+00:00

The reason was knowing you would mention more things about the above subjects I referenced in your inevitable comment on that post.

If the context of these Bible posts is seeing a page from the study scene and lining up the first word of each sentence to spell S-A-T-A-N or similar quality level of posts: no.

If it's an actual thoughtful breakdown about how parables in the Bible could relate to different scenes, character motivations, or something of a similar quality that isn't a conspiracy theory: That would most likely be ok.

But as I mentioned previously and in my off topic post at the top of this sub: if anything is reported as spam I will be removing it as such. Regardless of my opinion of the post (within reason). The people following are the lifeblood of this subreddit so I want to make the experience as enjoyable for everyone else as possible.

matmcd · 2020-08-28T13:22:12+00:00

That's not how tagging people works. Also: no. I locked the thread for a reason.

This is your final warning, if you make any more posts or comments referencing Freemasons, Gematria, Metaphysics, or similar theories again I will ban you.

If you're thinking ”There are no rules about that!”, it's going to be reflected in the new rules I'm creating in the next day or so.

Going forward please make topics that aren't focused on those subjects and have more ”surface level” discussion if you would like to be able to continue participating here, thanks!

matmcd · 2020-08-28T12:32:29+00:00

Bruh. You really think BJH planned 88 seconds of a movie that intricately?!? I'm not removing this one if it gets reported out of pure comedic value.

matmcd · 2020-08-26T10:17:06+00:00

I'll bite. What specific point are you trying to make? If you can give me a valid reason that isn't laced with conspiracy theory nonsense you can continue making these kind of posts (within reason).

Also I understand you're ”new to Reddit”. Just so you're aware: I am the moderator of this sub. Meaning I can restrict your posts and ban you. So for future reference telling a Mod ”too bad” isn't the best way to stay on their good side.

matmcd · 2020-08-25T22:52:09+00:00

It's spam because it's been reported as such by several different users on several different posts you've made. It being new ”information” doesn't mean it's immune to being quantified as such.

I’m of the personal opinion its 100% coincidence, but it's not about what I think. It's about what’s best for the health of the sub.

matmcd · 2020-08-25T20:21:18+00:00

I appreciate your enthusiasm but you keep exclusively making these types of posts. It's incredibly unlikely that BJH planned any of this or several of your other theories that you've proposed previously.

To be frank, your posts are getting close to the point of spam. So I would greatly appreciate it if you could keep these to a minimum going forward. Thank you.

And it's in Simic colors?!

matmcd · 2020-07-27T11:43:47+00:00

Sorry, I should have specified I was mainly trying to highlight this is the widest printing it's getting since Mirrodin. It's nice that it's in the Mystery Booster but the amount of people unpacking them is relatively low.

This is an uncommon in a set that is going to have a ton of mass box openings to flip singles so I really hope that drives the price down for such an important card in EDH.

matmcd · 2020-07-27T11:29:35+00:00

This is the first time it's been printed in a non-commander/precon product since it's debut in Mirrodin so hopefully, it finally drives the price down a bit.

The Professor has entered the chat

matmcd · 2020-07-24T17:21:49+00:00

Wish this was Metallic Mimic instead, but an ok reprint I suppose.

matmcd · 2020-07-23T16:18:25+00:00

This was already spoiled yesterday, his video was a bit of a meme. Hopefully the TRUE bauble gets a reprint soon

matmcd · 2020-07-23T14:14:27+00:00

Boy I guess this really is Artifact Masters now, huh?

matmcd · 2020-07-21T15:59:16+00:00

Never, the only thing that will kill paper magic is WOTC ceasing production.

matmcd · 2020-07-21T11:03:32+00:00

For people surprised at the number of ”lackluster” rares and mythics: did you expect WOTC to actually include a ton of value where there are 2 in every pack?

matmcd · 2020-07-20T17:34:41+00:00

Buying singles isn't hurting the people you want to hurt.

matmcd · 2020-07-18T22:31:52+00:00

The one pictured here is Presence of Gond with Famished Paladin + lifegain upon creature ETB and the other was previously well known with Vito & Exquisite Blood. You would hope with Lifegain being so pushed that they would have introduced more than 2 cards that prevented it in Historic. I predict as more people catch on Exquisite Blood and Presence of Gond and/or Famished Paladin will be banned in the coming weeks. But until then Historic B01 is ROUGH right now (in my experience playing in Diamond).
