@SaffronOlive I am grateful for me and my son's choice soon after the release of MH3 to stop playing Modern at our local game shop and start playing Standard. It is cheaper to do and we play against a larger variety of decks. Standard is the best it has been in a long time in my opinion.
@SaffronOlive Because they are actually rarer than 8's and 9's because usually if a card is off center or discolored they would not be sent in to be graded.
@SaffronOlive Me and the kid used to do Friday and Saturday pre release on sets. The price went from $25 to $35 at our LGS. Can't afford to do two days now.
