haven't seen him once, personally gonna wait. PWs are always overpriced unless they have been severely undervalued.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Jace isn't any good. Not that you'd know, nobody is playing with new cards. They're just running out decks they saw on SCG that are basically not rotating. It's pretty boring, tbh.

I need to get into the MTGO beta and test
I was looking at Heartless Pillage. Discard seems strong in the format, there's Duress, this, the Discard loselife enchantment, and more.
With Anointed I would be generating 2 mana every time I used that card. There's something there, I think.

Odd question, but my wife and I are cleaning our house and she found a bunch of her old Magic cards. They're all in pretty good condition, and I was wondering if it was frowned upon to offer the lot of them for sale in this thread. She made a list of all the cards so I can provide that too.

Go ahead. B/S/T is fine.
depending on when you played it can be worth a ton or next to nothing at all

It sees some play. I think the Primeval Titan deck.

Is there anything like Titi or Dragonmaster Outcast available right now. I'm looking for something that can be dropped for cheap but completely takes over the game in the lategame.
I'm struggling right now with having to go shields down with my Control deck to drop a wincondition. That's where Outcast shined the most, you could play it and still counter the opponent's Scarab God,
Liliana, etc.
This might be totally crazy but I could just put 3 approaches into my sideboard I'm already splashing white.

Yes sparingly in both modern and legacy. Much more in modern of course.
These reviews aren't gonna be done in time for the NZ prerelease, are they?
They never are
Usually he does 1 color each day, then does gold, artifacts and lands later in the day on the 5th day. There's an over/under on the green and later stuff being done (especially if you're doing midnight), but everything else should be up.
1d4+1 = 5 Starting Loyalty?
The first two cards are actually playable. I guess the third too if the loyalty on the last planeswalker is a real number.

If it makes you feel better his last few set reviews have been somewhere between "correct but trivially obvious" and "dangerously bad" on one or more colors, anyway.
Like, the nicest thing I can really say is that at least he realized Glorybringer is a 4.0. (It's not, it's a 5.0, but at least he didn't try to play it off as a 3.0 or less like he did the entire rest of Red in Amonkhet.)

Those are AMAZING. I'm especially nostalgic for the Dungeon Master. Do any of you remember the old DnD Saturday morning cartoon?
1D4+1 means (I assume) that when he comes into play, roll a four sided die, then add one. That would be his starting loyalty. A maximum of 5 and a minimum of 2.
absolutely, it was a huge success here and is still fondly remembered by everyone who's 30 something like me.
Is it that busted in Limited?

I'm just jealous how much cooler that dragon is than O-Kagachi.
Played some God-Pharoah's Gift tonight:
Land (24)
2 Aether Hub
4 Glacial Fortress
4 Irrigated Farmland
4 Island
4 Plains
4 Ipnu Rivulet
2 Hostile Desert
Creatures (22)
4 Minister of Inquiries
4 Daring Saboteur
4 Champion of Wits
3 Fairgrounds Warden
1 Trophy Mage
4 Angel of Invention
2 Bishop of Rebirth
Spells(14)
1 Search for Azcanta
4 Chart a Course
3 Refurbish
4 Gate to the Afterlife
2 God-Pharaoh's Gift
Sideboard
2 Spell Pierce
2 Sunscourge Champion
2 Padeem, Consul of Innovation
2 Negate
3 Cast Out
2 Multiform Wonder
2 Cataclysmic Gearhulk
Bishop of Rebirth + Fairgrounds Warden is cute. 3 Refurbish is probably 1 too many.
Not sold on Daring Saboteur or Chart a Course. Multiform Wonder needs to be something else.
Finally went up against the Mono Red menace. Evil red dino that prevents life gain is a pain.

Those cards are awesome
blindrocket I assume that is what it is
That's him!
Oh, that is cool to hear.
And just quoting myself to bring the discussion to this post:
This is actually pretty flavorful because he was a fickle little guy that they couldn't always count on to be there! He'd just come and go as he pleased.

Whats the consensus on replacing Falkenrath and Village Messenger in Ramunap Red? I'm thinking Soul Scar Mage, Fire Shrine Keeper & Rigging Runner are the obvious potential replacements. What would be the best option do you think?

I wonder if you could run Inventor's Apprentice since you're at 4 of Bomat Courier anyway. You could also obviously go up a Shock/Abrade if you're not at 4 of either.

The consensus is to just copy whatever everyone else is playing because the deck is 90% the exact same deck with mostly obvious replacements.
this sum up competitive constructed as a whole. Well, every competitive game ever, actually

I mean mono red is mostly braindead and not really an interesting topic to me any more than Temur Energy is largely because they're the same decks with very little changed. *shrug*

They also do weird shit like playing BUG Aggro with 23 mostly ETB Tapped lands and think they're hot shit when they luck into drawing 4 lands. The mana is nowhere near good enough to expect to win playing 23 lands in three colors. They're not shocklands, people.
So in edh; Nira as commander, deck that's 25% ramp and 75% repeatable blink effects, now it's almost impossible to lose?
Something interesting- Star City is changing it's grading scale
http://www.starcitygames.com/article/35833_Important-Changes-to-Card-Condition-and-Grading.html
Now it's NM, Played, and Heavy Play, as they are combining SP and MP

The rationale here makes sense. Basically, if someone's buying SP/MP, they don't really care about condition and are more price-sensitive.
To be honest, this seems fair. I doubt anyone who is buying Played cards really care whether how much wear they have as long as they are functional and legal in play. Unique cards where the grading is important all have seperate scales anyway.

$30 for three cards?! I know the market value these things can have, but from a manufacturing point of view this is a straight up cashgrab.
Part of me was miffed that they weren't Atogs (especially when one of them was an effective reprint of Atog) but visually they grew on me. Problem is a can't see them really showing up outside of artifact heavy sets.
I wouldn't be against a legendary Gremlin lord for EDH though.
Cost-to-value goes out the window when you are talking about adult collectibles, which is what this is.
SDCC Walkers are STILL in stock (they have been up for over a month now). I wouldn't buy this as an investment.
The worst set of SDCC Walkers they ever did that certainly had bigger supply due to high past demand does not equal what might be a one-off style non-Magic property oddity like this.

It's unbelievable how bugged scarab god is on modo proper and the beta.
He returns from exile, doesn't work properly with a bunch of cards and sometimes characteristic defining abilities don't even get overwritten as 4/4s. As a result eternalizing an Ulvenwald Hydra procuded pretty beefy guys.

Double strike I'm pretty sure could still get you. Also pretty sure that both poison and commander damage would still result you in losing, since it is only "the next time that you would lose", not "you can't lose this turn"
Still cool, but really just keeps you from losing to lose of life.

Hey she's only a 5 mana 6/6 trample flying haste that gives you a breather against a majority of winconditions.
forgot to mention that the invocation is cheaper than a regular copy because the artwork is mismatched with the frame.
