fresh start. GO

Epochalyptik I have a hard time buying the "economic concerns" argument when you and several others, have on several occasions, have said that WotC does not care about the secondary market. Why then, should it matter if Goyf is printed as a rare?

Damn you Hellsing ninja. I tried to sneak this one but you were faster...

Furthermore, Goyf being jammed into multiple decks to me is more concerning because it demonstrates that some level it is oppressive to the format. Even if I could afford Goyfs I would never play them. I don't particularly like Green as a colour. My main concern with Modern (currently) is that Modern does not possess an adequate Control deck and hasn't for some time.

WOTC doesn't see profits from the secondary market sale of cards between stores and players. That does not mean that WOTC can afford to disenfranchise loyal, heavily-invested players. They've burned their fingers once before in the debacle that produced the Reserved List, and they know that players are very concerned about the stability of their investments.

For the players, it's bad enough that you have to drop $800 to get a set of one creature for your deck, then another however much for the lands, and more again for the rest of the cards. If WOTC just reprinted Goyf in a widely available form, the value of those investments would tank and you'd have a lot of really pissed players.

The purpose of MMA and the new MMA 2015 (whatever the TLA for that is) is to provide a slight increase in supply for cards like Goyf and a moderate increase in supply for less exclusive cards. This allows WOTC to maintain and even bolster interest in Modern, make it easier for new players to break into the format (even if supply isn't drastically increased, the influx of new prints makes the cards more available in the trade community), and to achieve both of those things without great risk to invested players.

If Cryptic Command is reprinted as a rare, will it still be so expensive? I don't know if the original Modern Masters changed its price much when it came out.

March 22, 2015 6:52 p.m.

Epochalyptik says... #9

Cryptic Command may come down a bit, but it's been climbing for a while and will likely remain high.

Also, I'm going to ask that further economics discussion take place in the Economics forum for the benefit of users who don't follow this chat.

So, I got 6 deckcycles today, 3 before noon, noticed they reset and 3 more afternoon. Did this happen to anyone else?

March 22, 2015 7 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #11

The facebook page said free deckcycles all day

Is everyone a Deckspert now? Because I noticed that everywhere I clicked (including on my own page), there were all Decksperts, unless there's something I'm missing.

QOTD: Is Mono-Blue Devotion gonna be competitive in DTK with Shorecrasher Elemental and Gudul Lurker?

Just got back from prerelease. WOOF.

Went 3-1 with Selesnya aggro. Anafenza, kin-tree spirit did more than pull her weight.

If you've made it to top 100 you keep your custom but beyond that I think so

March 22, 2015 7:11 p.m.

CuteSnail says... #15

I found a deckling so I've got no idea

Ryotenchi says... #16

I wants a 2 mana Rest in Peace creature.

March 22, 2015 7:17 p.m.

slovakattack says... #17

You mean Containment Priest?

March 22, 2015 7:18 p.m.

CuteSnail says... #18

I fucking hate Rest in Peace. But It has it's uses. I'd also like to see it on a creature. but seems too good even for a 1/1

March 22, 2015 7:19 p.m.

6tennis says... #19

blech. i'm confused.

Right now, there are 3 decks I want to brew for FNM. The first is


You do NOT talk about Fight Club. Playtest

Standard* 6tennis

SCORE: 2 | 2 COMMENTS | 103 VIEWS

Or, I could go the route of Blue Devotion. Finally, I want to try out that jank Descent of the Dragons deck. Any thoughts? On all of them, I'm going for a $60 budget, so I'm pretty limited.

Asher18 says... #20

Can I claim this page yet?

March 22, 2015 7:23 p.m.

Asher18 says... #21

I CLAIM THIS PAGE IN THE NAME OF ASHER18. If this is a double post, SORRY EPOCH

March 22, 2015 7:23 p.m.

Ryotenchi says... #22

Maybe ...

slovakattack, thats kinda limited by the way it looks to me.. and not legal where Id want it.

March 22, 2015 7:23 p.m.

Ryotenchi says... #23

lol Asher I stoledidz yo page. :P

March 22, 2015 7:25 p.m.

Ryotenchi says... #24

Asher18*... I failed. :(

March 22, 2015 7:28 p.m.

CuteSnail says... #25

Also spoilers. The page ends at comment #20.

March 22, 2015 7:37 p.m.

I honestly don't understand why you're all doing gets on TappedOut. You're probably wasting 2-3 posts per page on this stuff.

March 22, 2015 7:46 p.m.

CuteSnail says... #27

It would explain why the just chatting threads get so large so fast.

March 22, 2015 7:48 p.m.

It's also probably the cause for 60-80% of the shitposting in JC.

March 22, 2015 7:49 p.m.

sirbar says... #29

Is there really a problem with that though epoch? I mean this is just like a forum were we can hangout and goof off. I understand the rules say no shitposting but exception for this forum and maybe do an auto delete after so many pages?

March 22, 2015 7:52 p.m.

I mean, I'm not going to start banning people over it, obviously, but it just seems like inane shitposting and it takes up page real estate. You all point out how long these threads get, and that's a significant part of it.

March 22, 2015 7:55 p.m.

Well occasionally we like to have some fun and be derpy and not be all serious all the time idk

March 22, 2015 8:05 p.m.

sirbar says... #32

Would it be bad to auto delete the back end of these forums? It would clear up space and there is really no reason to keep this type of forum is there?

March 22, 2015 8:06 p.m.

Our other option is to sacrifice Epochalyptik to the Goat Overlord.

March 22, 2015 8:12 p.m.

Ryotenchi says... #34

I wantz ta keep mah derpyness. :<

Plays Black Lotus then sacrifices for 3 then plays ---> Mox Ruby ---> Mox Jet ---> Putting Springjack Pasture into play, tapping for mox mana to activate Springjack Pasture for one goat token then after resolution casting Stabbing Pain targeting the goat token.

=n.n= I apologizez for da shit posting, PLZ DONT SMITE ME!!

March 22, 2015 8:25 p.m.

I'm just making an observation. Random fun is fine once in a while, but I've seen pages in both JC discussion that are 5-10 posts about someone claiming a page and then only half of the page is left for an actual discussion about something.

I guess it doesn't really matter. We've changed the point calculations, so none of this matters.

March 22, 2015 8:28 p.m.

Dekordius says... #36

Epochalyptik: What's your definition of shitposting, then?

March 22, 2015 8:31 p.m.

See page 155.

March 22, 2015 8:35 p.m.

Dekordius says... #38

Isn't most of this thread shitposting then?

March 22, 2015 8:37 p.m.

Didgeridooda says... #39

It is.

I think it is the reason that this thread is so popular. People just chillin in the thread.

March 22, 2015 8:42 p.m.

Femme_Fatale says... #40

This thread isn't mostly shitposting. There's a difference between contributing to a discussion and randomly posting something that has no contribution to the discussion at all.

March 22, 2015 8:50 p.m.

This thread is basically just a colossal clusterfuck of things that make you go "wtf?"

March 22, 2015 8:50 p.m.

Femme_Fatale says... #42

This thread is mainly popular because people can just have a discussion about whatever they want. No other thread really allows for this and is a social hub like this thread is. I'd rather JC go back to the way it was where we could have lengthy discussion about any random topic, and have fun doing it, rather than just people posting random shit that has no relevance to what the previous person posted.

March 22, 2015 8:51 p.m.

slovakattack says... #43

Femme_Fatale By that rubric... this thread is mostly shitposting :P

March 22, 2015 8:52 p.m.

Ryotenchi says... #44

Page 155

Yeh....

March 22, 2015 8:52 p.m.

Femme_Fatale says... #45

People are confusing as to what shitposting is. This thread is definitely not shitposting, and nor do I want it to be.

March 22, 2015 8:53 p.m.

Ryotenchi says... #46

Guess I have to put my page pilfering to rest. :<

Anyways.. Just how bad is Zurgo Bellstriker?

March 22, 2015 8:56 p.m.

CuteSnail says... #47

Femme_Fatale I'd enjoy that.

Ryotenchi I'd rather play isamaru.

March 22, 2015 8:57 p.m.

Femme_Fatale says... #48

Terribad. It doesn't have haste, and is legendary.

March 22, 2015 8:57 p.m.

CuteSnail says... #49

I don't think dash makes up for it's shitty ability.

March 22, 2015 8:58 p.m.

Ryotenchi says... #50

Glad Im not alone in that sentiment.. I got it for my prerelease promo and have since felt as if the RNG gods were trolling me..
