That's brutal Prices are pretty insane. I got into playing magic again because it seemed like a cheap hobby lol. Got sucked into the deep end pretty quick and realsied the opposite hehe.cfusionpm wrote: ↑3 years agoMan, I can't even with this. Even if I wanted to try those out (found a random list on Goldfish), it would cost me nearly $370 to get the 7 (seven) cards needed to make this deck. (3 Omnath, 3 W6, 1 Gargaroth) despite owning everything else for a multitude of UW, Bant, Sultai, and UR staples. #financeBearscape wrote: ↑3 years agoI thought Uro was fine until now but Omnath shells are probably going to get Uro banned down the line. People don't tend to like 4c decks being top dog and although there was a lot of debate going on which UGx shell was the best, all the incidental lifegain off Uro and Omnath really give you no reason to not just play four colors.
Whenever I played at fnm, it seemed like all the guys I played against with, what I call no compromise decks, had Magic as their only hobby/interest, so it made sense they'd be fully decked out. I have a couple of "expensive hobbies" that take up the majority for me... so stuff like "I need 4 chalice, I need 4 Karn Liberated, I want 4 of these fetch lands and 4 of those" is just impossible.
Modern became my favourite format pretty quick too and that didn't help. I need to not be a pleb anymore lol....
I hate how Omnath has gone up in price now too. I wanted to build a commander deck with him
