Actually, if you look at the game as a whole and taking everything into account, from an objective point of view, it isn't. And balance doesn't matter. I can understand if a lot of people aren't capable of seeing this, though. It's not your fault.

Agreed.

Since This thread is shit I suggest a change in topic:
How do you sell MTG cards?
Where to buy MTG cards?
How often do you sell/buy/trade in person?
What are prices like selling or buying from a shop in person?
Full-art lands, are they worth it?

>Since This thread is shit I suggest a change in topic:

eBay, though Facebook is often better because no fees. eBay if you want to sell fast

Generally TCGplayer has the lowest prices


>How often do you sell/buy/trade in person?
Once a week

>What are prices like selling or buying from a shop in person?
Much higher than they should be


>Full-art lands, are they worth it?
The Unhinged ones? Yes, very much so. The BFZ ones are too played out

Niggah. Just because it's more expensive doesn't mean it's worth it.
Though I will admit that even though unhinged was a joke set it had the best full-art lands to-date
>>
>>47526797
It's the same deal for everyone, but I'm definitely never selling them anything again. I'm just so upset because they were the only place that would take the Tarmogoyf I unpacked myself a few months ago. No one else would take it since I live in a poor shithole of a town, should have just tried to sell it in eBay. That's about forty bucks I missed out on. Forty bucks that could have been spent on anything, not more cards!
>>
>>47524811
>How do you sell MTG cards?
magiccardmarket.eu Buying and selling from other players without middlemen skimming off the top is great. I don't know how useful it is outside of europe though.
Where to buy MTG cards?
See above.
>How often do you sell/buy/trade in person?
Not all that often, most of the cards I own see pretty frequent use so I'd rather keep them around.
>What are prices like selling or buying from a shop in person?
I don't have any nearby shops that deal in singles.
>Full-art lands, are they worth it?
To me? Not really. I don't have enough emotional attachment to any decks to want to spend any extra money pimping them yet. I can see nic fit heading that way soon though.
>>
>>47526921
If it was 2/2 it would be uncommon but it's 2/1 for 2
>>
>>47527022
We already have a 1/1 hexproof only blocksble by flying for 1G at common. Making it a 2/1 for 1G with hexproof is fine since it's going to die to any blocker regardless.

The Mong has Shroud, not even Hexproof.
Him not being counterable is not something great either; who the fuck would want to counter him?

I used to play this shit, along with Loltroll, Slitherhead and Dreg Mangler.

Ghoulcaller's Chant was awesome, I remember using the Troll turn three to dump two Slitherhead in the graveyard, returning them with the Chant, dumping them again, then scavenging them and rocking in with an 8/7 trample and still going mana open. Oh yes, and there was Abrupt Decay.

Amazingly by today's standards this wasn't even an especially strong deck, red aggro and control were still bigger. We don't even have a decent one drop zombie in standard at the moment.

Vampire deck were fun even if not especially high tier, as Vampire Nighthawk and Vampire Nocturnus were reprinted in the core set.

I miss those days.
>>
>>47528151
Ah, I've just remembered why blue was so strong: Delver, Invisible Stalker and Geist of St Traft. Yup, current Innistrad s not what the original was, it's fun but they could have been bolder, mechanics like madness aren't that much fun

Good luck dealing with pic related in standard

She's ridiculously hard to kill in Legacy much less Standard, but at least Standard has a decent amount of sweepers to get around Protection.
>>

Flaying tendrils, biting rain, etc.
>>
>>47528445
People didn't play Grafdigger's Cage much. Rest in Peace though absolutely destroyed graveyard based decks because even when you destroyed the enchantment the damage was done and your graveyard was gone. How I despised that card.
>>
>>47528539
That's what you get for playing such a shit archetype.
>>
>>47526931
>Niggah. Just because it's more expensive doesn't mean it's worth it.

I'm a sucker for John Avon and Rob Alexander land art so I always roll with Unhinged Basics and original Rav shocks. Working on getting the Onslaught fetches as well.

I wish that MaRo knew that the only reason anybody bought the joke sets was because of the badass lands, it would help him in trying to get another set done

>How do you sell MTG cards?
I would either dump them at a tournament or to my LGS or eBay

>Where to buy MTG cards?
magiccardmarket, ebay, tcgplayer, vendors at tournaments, LGS

>How often do you sell/buy/trade in person?
Most of the time, I very rarelybuy or sell online.

>What are prices like selling or buying from a shop in person?
The grand nagus would be proud.

>Full-art lands, are they worth it?
Define worth, they look cool and the BfZ ones are dirt cheap. Personally I rock Euro lands but I happened to have those sitting around anyway.
>>
>>47528780
It makes sense in the lore and makes sense that white would have one card that fucks up re-animating things that are in the graveyard.

>>47528445

Reminder that the last "new" card that had protection from anything was in Dragons of Tarkir
>>
>>47528934
It also makes perfect sense that red could have a card that 'boils' all islands in play, yet for some reason they aren't really printing that kind of card anymore. Having a single card so efficiently and completely shut off an entire archetype of deck is not good for the game, as it turns matches into a 'did I draw that one sideboard card' race, instead of actual interaction and game progression.

Printing it immediately after a set about the graveyard was just an extra helping of fuck you.
>>
>>47529011
Eldrazi don't do protection (Emrakul excepted who didn't make an appearance) and are difficult to protect against. Innistrad, lacking Avacyn, is meant to have a theme of vulnerability.
So what's left between then and now is Origins, which was a weird, incoherent block.
>>
>>47529032
Then splash for green or counterspell that bitch. How's that for "interaction"?
>>
>>47529032
>It also makes perfect sense that red could have a card that 'boils' all islands in play, yet for some reason they aren't really printing that kind of card anymore
That's because that card fucks over everyone that plays blue or splashes into blue. Rest in Peace only fucks over a very specific archetype that's played by only a few people.
>>
>>47529177
Not really, it screws up all zombie decks and all those using flashback, which was a hell of a lot of decks given that's what Innistad mostly was. Meanwhile white decks still tended to be doing the Thragtusk/Restoration Angel thing which got really dull after a year.
>>
>>47529119
>Counterspell a 2 mana spell

We Legacy now

Also the primary issue with the card is that it also exiles everything that was already in a graveyard. It's extremely efficient for what it does.
>>
>>47529525
Tormoid's crypt is a 0 drop that exiles everything in your graveyard and yet that isn't overpowered. Also, it's a completely useless card if less than half of your current group's meta uses flashback or zombies.
>>
>>47523360
Stating the obvious.
>>
>>47529605
Tormod's Crypt can also only be used once, on a single player. It's nowhere near as format warping as Rest in Peace which lasts the entire game.

Geralf's Messenger is the only thing there that's really awful. Gravecrawler is annoying, but it's not exactly game breaking.

This motherfucker, though.
>Takes 6 cards before you can even cast them for 1 and 2 mana.
That's pretty annoying.
