    Looks like Dragon's Vault got an update, so I went ahead and entered my BotG cards into my collection.

    Looks like the most valuable card I got on Friday was Spirit of the Labyrinth.

    meh

    Hm, interesting stuff in Modern. That said, my Modern deck shall remain a march of unfeeling machines. I prefer them over wildcats/spending $TEXAS on mana and Goyf, and Cranial Plating is a balanced and reasonable Magic card.

    Fairies? Fairies.
    Just kidding, storm forever. No more deathrite improves the jund matchup at least.

    if naya zoo wasnt one of the few decks that really needs to run like 8-10 fetches I'd be so there with the unbanning

    but I'm having a lot of fun doing degenerate devotion things in this format atm anyways

    None of this affects me because I don't want fetches or the now 60 dollar bitterblossom.

    Noooooooooo Sylvan Primordial banned for EDH. Gotta look into that persist guy that destroys noncreatures, since Marath can just reload it.

    Yeah, Woodfall Primus and Terastodon got happy at the prospect of moving back into their old house with the banning of Sylvan Primordial.

    On the upside, Primeval Titan has a friend now!

  • KelorKelor Registered User regular
    Also hey, look, Bitterblossom is like a $80 now.

    Yay for Modern!

    Meh it won't last.

    Just a bunch of amateur speculators trying to make a quick buck. It'll be back to reasonable soon. After all it isn't as if every deck is about to start running it.

    EDIT- Went to Mtgsalvation looking for a reasoned discussion of what the banning/unbanning means for the format. Got exactly what I should have expected.

    Asphyxiate is pretty great in limited - it'll be even better when people stop trying to use it on my non-summoning-sick creatures while I've got Phenax on the board.

    I've had that card for ages and turning frogs into frogs is awesome, but it doesn't cause it to lose any abilities.

    On a whim I bought 5 Theros packs yesterday, since I haven't bought new Magic cards in almost a year (moving + new job + real life)

    4/5 rares were the dual-mana lands. Two of them were the same.

    Crap.

    Cannot wait until next week, so I can go in with some coworkers to split a booster box.

    And reasonably priced, unlike Mox Opal.

    I'll have to figure out some more graveyard hate for my Pod deck, but I'm okay with anything that takes a weapon out of the hands of Jund.

    Just got back from going to my local shop during my lunch. Decided to pick up a couple of Dragon's Maze boosters, as well as a Gatecrash booster.

    Ended up pulling a Emmara Tandris in one of the packs, and that is absolutely perfect for my token deck.

    At least you didn't trade them for Deathrite Shamans. You know at least one poor bastard somewhere is drinking heavily for this reason at the moment.

    I got a Phoil Phenax, an Ephara, a Kiora, a Mogis, a skeleton Champion guy, foil Curse of Swine, a few Heroes of Iroas, some GW scrylands, some Coursers of Kruphix and a bunch of other useless poop.

    The foil Phenax looks pretty radical.

    Nothing bad, but for my first packs in a year I was hoping for ridiculous.

    I bought two more packs yesterday and got this guy:

    So I got my wish after all.

    Realistically, Deathrite is still extremely playable in Legacy and shouldn't tank too horribly over the long-term
