Magus of the Moon is in! So many good reprints.

 

[The Technomancer]

This is bonkers

 

[Supast4r]

This one was obvious but needed

 

[Nirolak]

It's embarrassing when you look at the numbers for the top MTG streamers compared to the HS streamers

MTG

Kenji 57k followers / 7.6mil views
LSV: 40.8k followers / 1.2 mil views
Gaby: 37k followers / 900k views
MTG Goldfish: 29k followers / 450k views

Hearthstone

Amaz: 857k followers / 79.8 mil views
Thijs: 374k followers / 27 mil views
Kibler: 325k followers / 16.7mil views
Sjow: 186k followers / 20 mil views

Will Arena accomplish those types of numbers? Who knows. It'll certainly improve tremendously upon the current streaming situation. Especially if you can get someone like Amaz and Kibler to actively stream Arena.



Absolutely.

And you're missing some of the biggest Hearthstone streamers there.

Kripp: 1.1M Followers / 176 million views <- This guy even gets 30K+ viewers when streaming Shadowverse, a CCG that makes over $100 million a year
Trump: 802K Followers / 97 million views
Hafu: 514K Followers / 55 million views
Reynad: 505K Followers <- This guy was an MTG player

Someone post pernicious deed so I can climax.

I'm not sure how I forgot about Kripp/Trump... Haha

I just raided the list of streamers that I regularly follow. Does Kripp still seem like he's begging for something, anything, to jump ship to? It doesn't seems like he's enjoyed Hearthstone for a long time.

 

[A Serious Man]

I've never seen someone so excited for a $0.50 reprint.

Spiritmonger will always be a boss, watch your mouth.

[Angry Grimace]

These don't seem Iconic and more like "stuff we forgot in MM17 and EMA"

 

[Santiako]

Spiritmonger will always be a boss, watch your mouth.

It's definitely iconic. The creature powerscale jumped like 2 levels when it was printed.

 

[jph139]

Really? I like the new art

It just feels generic. He's a pre-established character. Like, he's not just a zombie dragon - we know that he's a big, somewhat goofy looking skeleton. It feels weird to have art that looks nothing like him.

I felt the same way about regular Rorix Bladewing when he was reprinted and looked completely different.

you dont like post rehab career comeback fat rorix?

 

[MoxManiac]

Teferi!!!

Goddamn this set is stacked as hell

 

[Justin]

 

[Santiako]

Why is that a rare?

 

[red13th]

That Serra Ascendant!

 

[aidan]

Why is that a rare?

So that when you open one, you immediately feel bad and buy another pack that *certainly* has a Mana Drain.

 

[Crocodile]

Why is that a rare?

The same reason lots of other uncommons were shifted to rare in past Masters sets - Limited

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Why is that a rare?

Limited balance?

 

[aidan]

No Lightning Bolt or Path/Swords yet?

 

[bigkrev]

Why is that a rare?

It's kind of absurd in 1v1 limited

Fair enough.

Glimpse the Unthinkable:

Mill clearly the UB archetype I see.

 

[ultron87]

No Lightning Bolt or Path/Swords yet?

This list says Swords is in. But that's just a rando on Reddit compiling stuff without pics.

https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/6ywey9/ima_card_spoils_no_pics/

Surely Bolt is in. That should've been like the first card on the list.

 

[kirblar]

If anyone's at Hascon, I'm interested in picking up a Grimlock / Grimlock Playmat for a friend.

 

[Justin]

Magus of the Moon
Saungine Bond down to Uncommon

 

[Santiako]

Lotus Cobra down to rare as well.

 

[El Topo]

That Cryptic Command art is amazing.

 

[ThLunarian]

I'm with Angry Grimace - this is just Eternal Masters 2 with a wacky marketing scheme attached

 

[MoxManiac]

Still room for Port in the number crunch..

 

[Justin]

 

[OnPoint]

So someone could Mana Drain a Fireball cast with Channel in this draft format.

Oh god how lovely is that.

 

[Supast4r]

Is strip mine in?

 

[Hero]

Is that Lotus Cobra at rare?

 

[ultron87]

That's not really something I'm going to complain about. Way better than a set of 10 dollars packs with just a bunch of Angels and Dragons.

 

[aidan]

Obstinate Baloth is in at rare.

Is that Lotus Cobra at rare?

Yep!

I'm with Angry Grimace - this is just Eternal Masters 2 with a wacky marketing scheme attached

Yep.

 

[Justin]

So whats in Masters 25????

 

[kirblar]

So whats in Masters 25????

I would put large amounts of money on Rishadan Port being in.

Gimme a Balduvian Horde and Kjeldoran Outpost reprint, please.

Goddamn.

I don't even need them for my collection. Just treasure them for sentimental reasons.

It's like eternal masters and modern masters had a baby. Im cool with this.

As weird as it sounds I think RG is walls/defenders (or X spells maybe).

 

[y2dvd]

Finally a Flusterstorm reprint. I said "damn!"

 

[aidan]

Apparently these are the mythics:

Haven't seen pics of Necropotence, Archangel of Thune, or Kiki-Jiki, though.

 

[red13th]

Malfegor is rare
