Is there some story about how Chapin isn't allowed in Japan or something?
I swear this is a thing
My understanding, anyone correct me if I'm wrong, is that Chapin used to sell ecstasy in his youth (late teens I think). The law eventually caught up with him and he had to spend some time in jail (this caused him to lose his position he had gotten at WOTC R&D). Japan won't let anybody into the country that has a federal conviction, from any country, in. Since Chapin has a conviction for drug trafficking on his permanent record, he's effectively banned from Japan.
Again, anyone feel free to correct me if I got anything wrong.
For as long as these pros have been playing the game, the lifetime earnings really is fuckin low.
If you have the blue fetch lands, I'll buy them for a dollar.so you're saying I should dump my zendikar lands?
Still better than Fighting Games.It turns out that playing Magic has a really low EV.

Okay, now this has to become a cube staple for paper cubes, right? How awesome is this?
"Oh guys, yeah - who wants this Jace that I hate-drafted and what will you give me for it?" Bwa haha.
I'll bet you a Ruric Thar it's not fetches.
I'm still bitter that they chose this guy of all planeswalkers to be in Modern Masters.
Really? There wasn't anyone better? You had to go with freakin' Sarkhan the Lame for Modern Masters?

... Elspeth was too lol
I think this new one will be mono-red.
Yes, I'm aware (that nice lady singlehandedly won me a draft, in fact). But Sarkhan? Seriously; OG Garruk or Jace would have been better. Or just don't put another planeswalker in the set; find a better mythic.
Karn and Liliana are probably the ones most primed for a reprint value-wise, but I doubt we'll see them in MM2. Maybe MM3? Somewhere down the line I'd imagine.
Maybe Ajani Vengeant?
I guess whether Liliana shows up in MM2 would depend if they were reaching all the way to Innistrad for reprints.
Maybe a dega Sarakhan? I hope this isn't a heavy gold set so close to RTR. Fetches are a lock I think for the first set. I'm assuming that its going to be a "tribal clan" gimmick and the third set will be 2 sets based on the clans going to war.
Congrats to Chap in but is anyone else getting fatigue of seeing the same players win every pro tour, open, grand Prix, etc? I just want to see new blood take the reigns. How long is it for someone new starting today to get to the pro tour level, not in skill but points and such?

Come on, that's more than you'll get when they're reprinted.
Lack of a rule set is what defines casual.Don't know if it's been covered, but they don't mention it in the mtgdaily articles today at least. Are there any rules about the conspiracy card type for casual constructed? Seems obvious that they aren't allowed in sanctioned play, but are there any rules preventing a Commander player from just starting every game with all of the conspiracies active, for example? Apart from the social contract?
Ajani's a good one.
I honestly think we'll see Liliana in a Standard somehow before MM2, especially since (rumor was) they wanted to put her in M14 before realizing how nuts monoblack was. So, perhaps in a core set. Still, it probably won't be M15 with Garruk going black unless there's two black PW, so who knows. But if they do her in MM2, Karn could come along too since it's the block beforehand.
Doh. Sorry.i was referring to the full art lands
I'd think the Zendikar full arts would hold their value even if a new set of them got printed. Full art lands are entirely about the art.
Yup. She's that good. Coupled with thought seize, duress, black's removal, etc...God, Lili would have made mono-black the only deck to play.
Wasn't Sarkhan put in Modern Masters for casual players? (i.e. They wanted to put more copies of him in the secondary market.)

Was an enchantment land ever in consideration for Theros block?
I think the artifact lands scared us off from even trying especially with constellation in the mix.
Could someone help a casual player a bit?
I've had a long, long break from magic but I'm playing socially again, now and then. The people I've played with have some cards which are amazingly munchkin in my eyes but apparently that's the price of the slow power creep.
I don't want to go into a booster buying weapons race just to enjoy some casual games so I was wondering if I could get some tips on generally useful cards that I could buy dirt cheap.
I like playing blue/black/red triple color general purpose decks and apparently something called Charms are amazingly useful in there. What else could I get?
