@SaffronOlive Fixes like this makes me wish that
A. MTGO was a somewhat modern platform like Arena
B. They could utilize the upside of digital cards to push fixes for design mistakes like Nadu.

@PleasantKenobi It certainly sucks and it’s a problem but I imagine scalpers are becoming a more important part of the eco system since the popularity of Commander and online shopping has probably reduced the amount of sealed product the average player buys compared to a decade ago.

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@golgariguy I think it’s part of the social aspect. If you have a board you’re actively interacting with the rest of the table. At higher power levels the other players are rightfully concerned with the board states that are actively killing them. I don’t mind combo kills but I see the rub

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@golgariguy A full table hoof kill needs player with a really big board vs most 3 player one shots. So while it’s the easiest “10 card combo” there’s a lot of interaction points. 3 players with a few wipes in their deck can usually find a few. Most hoof kills I’ve seen are turn 10 or later

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@golgariguy Ur-Dragon and Big Atraxa for sure

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@MyHandsAreBlank That’s fair enough. I’m less on the doomer side of UB and like 1000 UW cards a year is still a lot. But I see why people are rubbing up against it conceptually

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@MyHandsAreBlank Isn’t it like literally a 2 month delay?

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@SaffronOlive Should at least lower the power level. WOTC isn’t going to print The One Ring into standard.

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@DyllonKG @MTGNerdGirl It reads as an extra turn spell card that fails every single time but really it’s pay 4 mana deal 20 damage haha

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@MTGNerdGirl @DyllonKG Temporal Extortion is one of my favorite secret black cards. I feel like most people just don’t know it exists

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@carvincustom @SaffronOlive The Extra Life Lair up right now is time not quantity limited

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@BudgetCommander It’s always seem weird to me that the swords have effects that synergize with the colors but has the protection from those colors. Has there ever been a reason given?

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@SaffronOlive It’s possible that these will be reprinted in the Marvel set next year and the Secret Lair gives them chase price status. Otherwise they would make way more money selling these as Print on Demand Lair IMO

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@golgariguy I feel like the green Overlord from Duskmourn makes Coalition Victory way too easy now

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@ghirapurigears I’ve seen so many fake Cradles that it actually brings a smile to a face when someone brings out their gold World Championship Cradle

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@ghirapurigears I started in Mirrodin and I feel the same way thinking that there’s 6 years between it and the Zendikar block which I consider the first block at our modern power level. Also Alpha to Zendikar being almost the same amount of time as Zendikar to now is insane to think about too.

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@golgariguy I feel the same way about all beautiful art for reserve list cards in the Vintage Masters set on MTGO. It’s a shame people can’t play with them outside of digital/proxies

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@drewxmed @golgariguy I think Ante cards might be the most banned cards in Magic

[Jaron Franklin @djaronunchained]

@HowlingSaltMine A lot of people are just used to running staples and don’t realize there are tons of different cards that can fulfill the role besides the 3 best in class $40 versions
