Because soft reprints of various cards at appropriate price points increases the supply marginally while still being responsible, same idea with MM/EM.

When Duel Deck: LoTV vs Karn ft Goyf, Bob, Ravager, and Mox Opal comes out at $15 unlimited, thats a more apt comparison.

>>46510171

The reprint isn't out yet, and won't be for an unknown amount of time, but the company printing the game has shown repeatedly that they will tank the price of in demand cards. But they won't do it until the set the card is selling boosters for is long out of print.

This is my first post since starting modern 6 months ago. I promised myself I wouldn't touch /tg/ until I've had at least 6 months experience and here I am. FUCK YOU, memers.

This format is fucking shit. Game over in T4/5 yeah go fuck yourself. Limited sealed has a genuine lottery experience, EDH has the long-haul game experience (best format ever senpai), Leg is for people with $$$, and those without? Just fucking go to standard. Honestly, move to Standard if that's it. Modern is dead. There is no card interaction, Kitchen Finks are retarded, and Affinity or any Tron deck is literally cancer.

I haven't lost to anyone recently to warrant this post, this is literally my first ever modern post. Fuck this format. It's unbelievably gay.

Essentially. Reprints that combat scarcity while keeping prices stable are the best way moving forward, and has realistically been Wizard's approach.

If we end up with a "reprint premium set" once a year, and select reprints in things like Conspiracy and Commander, it really has the potential to stabilize the market, allowing cards to have value but keeping them available.

Markets like stable prices with hold incentives, not necessarily skyrocketing prices. Printing to satisfy demand at a reasonable level, while letting popularity and scarcity net values positive is the safest way to maintain the secondary market.

>>46511060
Just from experience mucking around with various turbofog and excessive draw strategies, I'd be inclined to cut thoughts of ruin and gaze, I'd think about dictate of kruphix and more control elements, this deck tremendously accelerates just about everything you might run into and being able to push through it in time to get lethal can be hard. I've found useful tools in far/away and swan song especially.
>>
>>46511971
Dude. Its a decklist being posted on /tg/ the week of a banlist announcement, at this point Im surprised it only had 60 cards and contains something of a win condition.
>>
>>46512044
The deck isn't actually playing black, Toil and Trouble is just for Trouble, the cheapest sudden impact in the game. I would probably play 4x that and cut sudden impact and gaze though. Swan song would be nice, but the basic strategy is that I get to draw lots of cheap burn spells, my opponent gets to draw lands and creatures and other stuff that kills slower than I do. I feel like control elements like Swan Song would just dilute the formula and slow me down. The curve ends at 4, so I could probably get away with 20 lands or less. Especially since I start drawing additional cards after 2 to 3 mana.

Tried this. O-Sow is fucking weak without Urborg to convert enemy fetches. There's no fucking point to ramping harder in a deck that already ramps hard.

Jesus Christ. Just run SSG and Chalice with that colorless life gain land if you're that afraid of burn. It has the added bonus of fucking over Affinity and Infect.

It's better off just running TKS and RS as big dumb fucking beaters, and World Breaker + Endbringer slapping shit. Don't be cute, be efficient.

>conduit of ruin into newlamog
Without the ramping + searching capabilities into Eye of Ugin, you're hoping to draw into a conduit of ruin. RG Tron has Sylvan, Map and that new SoI land tutor. This? Mull down to get one, while fucking over your ability to make tron.

How does this deck plan to decks that stabilize early? RG Tron has pyroclasm. O-Stone to do O-Stone things. You build tron and then what? Pray to every god you know to draw into Conduit or Ulamog?

It's fun to theorycraft with, but in practice, it's not good.

Talk me out of playing 4x Chalice of the void in Tezzerator. It's great on 0 against affinity or living end, and sometimes lantern control, but better on 1. It beats storm, it beats Jeskai ascendancy, it's great against burn, it's good against infect, it's good against all kinds of zoo, it has really been good for me against delver, and has even been good for me against URW control, shutting off about a quarter of their spells between bolts paths and snares. Why shouldn't I run this card as a 4 of when I can discard it to thirst if I don't need it and play it for 0 and make a 5/5 with Tezz.

to be fair chalice is pro ass playing in tezzerator, the main reason why you probably wouldn't though is primarily because welding jar is so god damn good in tezzerator that having it auto countered kind of sucks shit.

thats fair, i use jar primarily because artifact destruction is coming back with a vengeance and its always good to be able to protect your main stuff and not be thrown off guard. i've found over the many years i've played the more redundancy i have in a deck the better overall because it raises consistancy and makes it so if your board completely eats shit you can recover fairly quickly, overwhelming the opponent when hes pissed his trump card to win.

But really, why would you ever settle for less than the best deck?

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/new-orleans-shuffle/
>>
>>46511934
The problem I see with MTG prices right now is that Wizards has a bad habit of printing "marquee" cards every set. There are always 3-4 cards that are just a wee bit overpowered/under-costed. They use the cards to sell a set. The set printing ends, the cards dominate in standard, and then they rotate out and stay in modern.

Then wizards doesn't want to reprint it again in standard because it is "too powerful" and "was a mistake" and would be too dominate in standard, so they print a 'fixed' version, that is slightly less powerful.

The problem then becomes
1) The original card is still at the same supply, and with ever increasing demand the price will climb.
2) The slightly worse card just becomes original card 5-8 in a linear deck.

Take Goblin Guide for example. Wizards realized that was too powerful, so instead of reprinting it they printed monastery swiftspear, the 'fixed' version. So what happened was that GG moved up in price, and monastery swiftspear became GG 5-8, making linear burn more powerful.

Then you have the problem of a 'masters' set. If you have 24 boosters in a box with boosters costing 10 each, then you cannot put more than 240 dollars of card value in a box. If you do, players will simply buy the box, crack the packs, sell the cards, and repeat. If players "go infinite" like this the bottom will fall out of the market and prices will collapse. The response stores will have to this behavior would be to jack up the price of the booster packs to reflect the value inside, which wouldn't make Wizards any more money because they sell wholesale.

So naturally Wizards has to print "jank" cards and pack them in along any valuable eternal playable cards, because they want to avoid that scenario, but that also means that they cannot print more than a few value cards at a time, either in a commander deck or a duel deck or a masters set.

Its complicated economics, I am not surprised Wizards still hasn't figured out how to make Gofy a $40 card.
>>
>>46512715
Having been testing the deck for a while, the deck has enough eldrazi in it to consistently draw them even in the late game. Every time you play an eldrazi you generate card advantage guaranteed. EndBringer while seemingly nice, doesn't do anything when its first played meaning that any removal on it is a huge set back for you. Reality Smasher goes against what the rest of the deck tries to do; as the deck doesn't do anything to put pressure on the opponent until turn 3 at the earliest. Oblivion Sower synergizes well with the rest of the deck and can be used to steal your opponents manlands and even on turn three or four, provides more of an advantage than endbringer on average.
>>
>>46512838

Junk/d absolutely shreds Tezzerator and Ux "Control."

Do you really want virtually every threat in your deck to be Abrupt Decay targets, and the rest of the permanents to be Zealous/Pulse magnets?
>>
>>46513075
Yes, yes, please, -2 or -3 yourself on turn 1 for an Abrupt Decay target. Im sure that will shore up your matchup vs BGx
>>
>>46513864
>Then you have the problem of a 'masters' set
>So naturally Wizards has to print "jank" cards and pack them in along any valuable eternal playable cards

That isn't really a problem, its more of the nature of responsible printing. Wizards can't technically directly supply singles in limited quantities (outside of FTV sets), so having chaff to fill out a pack and balance the EV of a premium set isn't really a problem, it's more of a feature in the long run.

Small, responsible reprints are the best way to control costs, and prevent market panic from shifting costs too high for an optimal amount of players. I totally agree, the "jank" is absolutely worthless, but it also prevents the market from flooding out. Goyf is a mythic for a reason, along with most of the money in the MM sets.
>>
>>46513918
I don't agree with that statement. I have about a 50/50 match up with jund and junk with my tezzarator build. I run counters and the like, and if they can't answer my combo before I've made a turns worth of fliers I usually win the game. Also my combo is very redundant, and between spellskites and academy ruins it's just really not that hard a match up as my dismembers, sac cards and counters almost always can stall out until I can get the combo engine going. If they start packing 4 abrupt decay I might be more worried but as is I don't have too much problem getting my combo to stick, and when it does it puts me just way to far ahead after 2 turns of thopter dumping.

BGx has been running 4 Decays since Twin was banned and aggro became dominant.

Your entire combo folds to a resolved Scooze backed up by a held Decay or Kommand. And thats preboard, before the Stonys and Katakis/Shatterstorms come in.

>2 turns of thopter dumping
What is Maelstrom Pulse. You can gain life all day, when Sword gets Scoozed the game is over. Practically every card in BGx's toolkit is purpose build to pick apart a different piece of Tezzerator.
>>
>>46514161
But seriously it's X-0 vs Tron, 50% for Grixis control matches, tends to beat Jund/Junk decks game 1, then the delver board turns their plan on its ear game two. Weak matchups are Eldrazi and Burn, but both are better games post-board. Affinity, on the other hand, affinity I scoop to.

No BGX does not run 4x abrupt decay, they run 2 usually, I can tell you don't know what you're talkingoing about so I'm just going to stop responding.

Orly? Because Junk has been running 3-4 since January, and it's been going great.
Jund might only run 3, but it backs them up with Kommands, and can easily cut a Terminate for more.
Next you're going to tell me is that Inquisition is going to get cut for 4x Seizes to combat this new "high curve meta."


>plenty of kill spells for there 1 of or maybe 2 of scooze
Sure buddy, just keep a Dismember up for one of the 3 Scoozes I run, and sit there and watch as Goyf runs you over backed up by Bob and a curve topper.

If my meta really spams thopters, I might even cut my 1 of Finks just to extra screw it over, I mean half my deck and SB already shreds the combo on board, might as well have every topdeck ruin the plan.

Junk is gonna turn some memes into dreams this week.

Its actually kinda funny to me that both Grixis and Tezzerator became decks again with this update, and both essentially auto-lose to staring down a resolved Scooze with anything less than a godhand.

No, having cards in hand by turn 4-5 vs BGx would require a hell of a curve. Not to mention Terminate is about the only thing that can reliably kill a threat in Grixis colours, and it's also conveniently what you need to deal with whatever beater I turn the corner with.

Yeah if you curve inquisition into scooze into lily it's hard to beat. But you don't always get that draw. Jund and Junk are not impossible to beat, fuck I watch mono red budget burn players beat them all the time. You're deck has answers, yes, that's what playing GBx is about, but you don't always have all the answers, and after playtesting about 100 matches against Jund, the match up is about even. Haven't played Junk yet, but I will this Friday, I assume it will be close though, who knows.

will titi increase in price even more or will it drop? I want to get my playset

>>46515457
Unless the meta is like 30%+ jund it's a good call.

Languish also breaks thopter combo so it might be a good idea with those decks creeping in.
>>
>>46515492
TiTi will go down unless it finds is way into a T1 deck (which I doubt, but possible). If it puts up results though, the price will go up a lot (remember Origin's Jace).

you mean T1 deck in eternal formats? I doubt it will see the increase in price that flip-Jace had because its not a mythic. how expensive can a rare get? I think its at that point already

MM2 is a shit draft format. If you want to draft MM1, you probably have to print it as a cube, because there is no way you are getting that box for reasonable price.

Btw, do people still believe in turn 4 rule? Who even invented that? For what I know, the format hasn't been like that for at least two years. Actually I have never seen any other deck, but splinter twin to enforce that idea.

What is the one card you want in modern that wouldn't be absolutely broken?
Flametongue is still up there with one of my favorite cards and I doubt it would be too strong.
>>
>>46517486
I think nobody actually wants in a flagrant effortless value-card in Modern. It will be attractive to play but it's not something that people welcome. I don't think anybody is happy about playing with or against Siege Rhinos.

That being said, I want Cabal Therapy. The most flagrant of value.
>>
I just started playing modern again, small lgs, with modern event every other week. I played Living End, my record has been 4-0, 3-1, 3-1, 1-3. I've defiantly noticed more people playing grave hate.

Welcome to Magic, friend.

>>46517570
how about a loam variant, or suicide zoo?
>>
>>46517570
You better of with junk then I suppose.
But even still it's a little expensive, but maybe manageable for you. Would imagine stuff like:
Loxodon smiter
Abrupt decay
Lingering souls
Thoughtseize
Siege rhino
Scavenging ooze
Maybe kitchen finks
Tasigur/Angler, I suppose tasigur as for modern
Path to exile

Which gets you pretty far without Liliana and Tarmo. Basically you just cut out on that packet and go more heavily invested into siege rhino/lingering souls that are pretty damn good on their own. Also imo white has a way better sideboard plan with stony silence, kor firewalker, rest in peace and such.

I guess jund has a little stronger mainboard with kolaghan command and terminate + bolt, but missing siege rhino/lingering souls is going to hurt the budget version.
>>
>>46517742
Not a bad plan considering half that would just be buying extras of stuff in my Doran Edh deck.

Second question. Considering building Bogles for fun. Horizon Canopy is 80 each. Would it be worth(as in expected holding value) to spurge and extra 20 each to buy the Expeditions version?
>>
>>46518005
personally I don't think horizon canopy is worth it, even if it's a little bit mandatory for the deck. It's just a little bit of extra edge on demented deck, that's basically baby scrap put together.

I feel like canopy is kind of card that gets hit hard monetarily if it's reprinted.
>>
>>46518069
That's why I'm considering the full art version, if I buy it. Even if horizon canopy is reprinted and hits less than 10, the expedition version isn't gonna go below 50(basing this of current temple garden). But that is $400 to put into a deck that is less than $400. Feels weird.
>>
>>46517268
That's not tue 4 turn rule, the 4 turn rule is that a deck is not allowed to win before turn 4 in modern. The reason it's dead is because twin was banned and under the 4 turn rule it is a completely fine deck.

I already asked in other thread, but it seems dead. I usualy play DnD, but recently two of my friends started to play Magic. They bought the Blessed vs. Cursed and Zendikar vs. Eldrazi duel decks. I wanna join them by buying my own intro pack. Which one would you recommend?
>>
>>46518520
see if you can find the most recent event deck
>>
>>46518520

Don't buy Intro Packs, they're terrible and cost way too much. You're better off buying something like a deckbuilder's toolkit or getting your friends to buy a bunch of boosters together with you and brewing some casual decks together.
>>
>>46518546
I found both, Battle for Zendikar and Dragons of Tarkir event packs in local store. The DoT is much cheaper tho.
>>
All right.

I want to go all in on this Tezzeret thopter foundry / sotm deck.

When will the initial hype die a bit? Next week? I only was able to sneak the thopter foundrys before the swords skyrocketed.

Tezzeret also jumped to like $40..

I'm hoping to pay $10/ea for 2 swords next week once everyone's tcgplayer orders come in and $25/ea per tezz

That's what I'm guessing they'll settle at or around
>>
>>46518520
I have few options in mind. Deckbuilder's toolkits are cheap way to make a basic set of cards to allow you to build somekind of deck. It rewards you of your deckbuilding skill, so There is something a little more special in it what intro packs lack.

Other than that, intro decks and toolkits are garbage. At least you get few boosters from toolkit.

I would more recommend duel decks. Older ones, if you can or the 2 of the most recent ones. If you can find a duel deck anthology for a reasonable price, that's a good package of inherently about as strong decks to play with. Treat it more as a boardgame rather than MtG collection.

Other than that, there isn't much else. Old premium decks are amazing, if you can find them, but I'm quite sure they are extinct. Just look up some casual decks and get a real player to look over it and give you some ideas. Then buy it as a singles from shop of your choice. You can get some universally amazing cards in magic with about 1$ each, if you know what you are looking for. That's where the good player comes in.

You will fall on your face really hard at first but it's a good way to build a collection if you want to get into standard or eternal formats eventually, and it is a good way to begin to understand the game as it actually is, which is in relative terms instead of absolutes.

Yeah there is, you don't have to use the Wizard. Unless you mean the limit per deck based on rarity, that's definitely an oddity but it does force more diverse decks so I'm on the fence about it.

>when there are free clients with full rule emulation and all cards there's no reason to buy this

You realise Wizards is a business, not an open source charity? You never have to pay a penny in Duels, you gain store credit just by playing. It's probably the closest we'll ever get to completely free online Magic.
