So this was about as Spellslingerish as I could get with Kykar, Wind's Fury before I tore it apart: Commander (1) 1 Kykar, Wind's Fury Lands (30) 5 Island 5 Mountain 5 Plains 1 Prairie Stream 1 Mystic Monastery 1 Riptide Laboratory 1 Glacial Fortress 1 Sulfur Falls 1 Clifftop Retreat 1 Hallowed Foun...

Rock is dying in the same way jazz died. People are still making it, people are still discovering and forging new subgenres, its influence on almost everything that came after it is undeniable. Yet it has lost a fundamental element of cultural vitality, separate, yet related to all those aspects. P...

When people ask about whether the Rock Genre of music is disappearing I'm reminded of this from Blues Brothers 2000: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmDjBONCXEo You may go if you wish. But remember this: walk away now and you walk away from your crafts, your skills, your vocations; leaving the next g...

So I just recently heard that If Biden gets elected as U.S. President he says that he'll lockdown the country again to fight against COVID-19 If recommended by health officials. These same officials (not the one's from that hoax earlier) asked Trump that very same request but turned it down as we've...

I remember when I was living with my mom and my uncle at my grandparents house back when I was growing up as a kid in the 80's and I remember my uncle on my mom's side of the family having the biggest music collection I've ever seen and ever since then he inspired me to start my own music collection...

Just seems like no matter what message board forum I post on nowadays I'm not welcome anywhere anymore. I can't even have a conversation online without someone getting triggered by something I said that easily offends them because they're too thin skinned. We've become so sensitive about the kinds o...

Still would've been nice If Concordant Crossroads and Craterhoof Behemoth made the cut. The reason why I don't think Craterhoof Behemoth has dropped in price yet is due to supply issues with Jumpstart since not a lot of Local Game Stores (LGSs) were able to get any of the product in with the pandemi...

Sunken Dreams
Enchantment
Whenever an opponent casts a spell, that spells' controller mills
cards equal to that spells' converted mana cost. If that spells'
converted mana cost is 0 or less that spells' controller exiles
his / her graveyard.

What I'm saying is that If Wizards of the Coast had implemented a Retailer Supply Policy for Paper Magic then more money would actually go to Local Game Stores (LGSs) instead of online vendors like Sports N More, Card Kingdom, ChannelFireball, Star City Games, etc. that are taking away the profit ma...

Might wanna consider Mana Reflection since it just got a reprint in Double Masters. I did think about it, but honestly, while it's a stunningly good card, I don't think it has a place here. Here's why: It's an enchantment, and therefore I can't tutor for it with Green Sun's Zenith or Chord of Calli...

I wonder how Local Game Stores will be able to adapt to the USPS (United States Postal Service) potentially going out of business next month due to concerns of voter fraud / suppression with mail in voting in the upcoming U.S. Election? Since people won't be able to go to their local polling places ...

last night was my first time playing Magic at a store since Covid started. It took a bit of getting used to with the plastic dividing players and not cutting decks and what not but it was fun. It was a 3 round night but I enjoyed seeing everyone again I take it your Local Game Store still has In-Pe...

So I finally returned to one of my Local Game Stores that I normally used to go to on Saturdays after a five month quarantine that is currently now operating at 25% capacity. As far as In-Store Play restrictions go it wasn't as bad as I initially thought it'd be however the Local Game Store / Comic ...

Wonder why they also didn't go after Teferi, Master of Time since there's a broken infinite turn combo with him?

Guess Wizards of the Coast didn't learn from Nexus of Fate when infinite turns on Arena is bad.

And that's Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath Aka there's still another growth spiral to get rid of I was honestly surprised that Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath didn't get the banhammer instead of Growth Spiral . It's just business as usual with Wizards of the Coast where they want to make as much money on...

Has Wizards of the Coast already given up on Modern at this point?

Seems like hardly anything aside from Arcum's Astrolabe has been banned for the last several months If not longer.

Not sure If anyone's heard about this yet however there were some YouTube videos recently of a group of doctors in front of the U.S. Supreme Court including Stella Immanuel claiming that she had cured COVID-19 in 350 patients at her clinic using a combination of hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, and...

Might wanna consider Mana Reflection since it just got a reprint in Double Masters.

Thought I'd share this article with you all: https://dsgcw.blogspot.com/2020/07/constraints.html Constraints One of the most stressful aspects of the COVID pandemic for game stores is that it artificially amplifies constraints. Dealing with this day in and day out starts to wear on a store owner, an...

Turns out I got my assessment of Ikoria being the best selling Spring set for MTG wrong when the Hasbro reports were actually referring to Arena only not Paper Magic. How is Arena making more money than Paper Magic when the Secondary Market for card singles still remains strong? How do Local Game St...

@robertleva It's possible that these small LGSs could recoup their Pre-Release losses from Double Masters If there's still a demand for it though it's only wishful thinking. Unless you're paying for the VIP Edition which is $100 a booster pack you only need to pay $12 a booster pack for the regular...

Probably a bit early to say though I'm expecting Zendikar Rising to be an At Home / Remote Play Pre-Release instead of In-Store just like Core 2021 and Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths was supposedly. Even If Wizards of the Coast decides to lift In-Store Play Suspension in September it will still be too la...

Not at $100 a booster pack.

As for the low EV of standard you speak of I am forced to question what you even mean. Do you mean on release weekend? 1 week out? 2 weeks? 2 months? 5 months? 1 year? About a year since people like to buy out sealed booster boxes of Standard sets in order to wait for the EV to spike so they can tr...
