I opened two clickslithers and a chaos warp. Feels bad man. I got passed a Tolarian Academy but apparently it's only worth 5 tix or so, so... still losing 20 tix value with each draft. Can't imagine Brainstorm and Swords to Plowhares will be worth anything if duals are only 15 tix.

That's what I plan to do, do a few sealed events with Vintage Masters (seems the better value compared to draft and I want to at least get some in), and then buy up playsets of every Legacy and Vintage staple besides Power since after a few months of being available it's all gonna be cheap. Hell, the prices on things like LED and Force of WIll have already tanked, I'm loving it. Still a few things I wish had been in the set, but overall this is just fantastic.

Forces are 20 bucks online, down from 130 thanks to VMA.
I love it.

Same here. Will be spending the next couple months making a Legacy deck, and if P9 gets cheap enough, will be making a vintage deck as well. Just going to have to go with a multi color deck, since Wastelands are almost what Forces used to be.

This is what modern masters should have done with prices.

Well, just think of the prices when of MMA2 when they release Goyf at the new Special Mythic rarity.
Vintage and Legacy are the only things I really want to play online, mainly because there is a better chance of it actually surviving online. So difficult to find Legacy groups, and Vintage just keeps getting harder to get into and even harder to find groups.
Just hope they don't try to force V.4. Really couldn't stand the beta.

Yup. They dun goofed.This is what modern masters should have done with prices.
They said they want to switch to V4 in July. Of course they've said this before and it got pushed back but it still seems inevitable. I'll probably be selling my collection soon as they make the announcement and possibly returning if they actually listen to complaints and make it playable.

The best time to buy in on MTGO is when everyone complains and pretend-quits for like 10 days. Its Magic cards on demand, of course you aren't leaving forever.

Well, in the deck I currently play, Scapeshift, I cannot tell when a land is selected to be sacrificed when casting the namesake. That's a pretty huge problem and one I noticed in my very first game during the beta spotlight. Can't imagine that's the only oversight like that.
I pulled a foil Brainstorm in a VM sealed event this morning, and I'd like to move it (along with a few other cards) for tickets to pickup a non-foil staple (like JTMS). I'm pretty new to MTGO, so I don't really have a grasp on how to move cards for Tix/$$$. What's the best way to get good value for the card?
To get the most tickets you can post a listing on the classifieds with a price between the buy/sell prices of bots. Like if mtgotraders or other popular bots buy for 17 and sell for 19 try selling at 18.

I'm thinking I'm going to start playing Vintage Dredge, mostly because I can play a version that's performed pretty well without Power 9 cards for about $150, and then I'll pick up the Moxen, Lotus and Recall when they fall even more in prices.
E: I forgot about the stupid Undiscovered Paradises at 15 a pop.

In a "fuck this deck" said by opponent way?
Or in a "fuck this deck" said by the player way?
Duals are a problem that could have been taken care of 10 years ago by just removing them from the list when they were still 30 dollar cards. They had to have known that they were going to staples of the eternal formats the second they stopped printing them.

What cards are Conspiracy tanking?
That's a depressing list.
I saw it played in a vintage open and it was kind of nutsy. The worst thing is no counterspell apart from stifle can prevent you from going off. No, actually, the worst thing is keeping your graveyard organized without changing the order.
WanderingWind

Any of those worth picking up? Is stifle any more than a 1 or of in any legacy deck?

True, but I could use some advice. I'm not seeing what I should be playing outside of PLAY BLACK LOTUS

I'd probably go B/R. Also, I lose a lot.

I did this. And lost a lot :lol
I'm not good with Sealed. I'm not good at draft either, but I'm better at it than Sealed.
Also, Timetwister is 29 tix now. :lol
They've done that before?

Welp, traded the Lotus for basically everything from the Dredge deck I wanted. Now all I need is Ancestral Recall, Mox Sapphire, another Lotus and some Undiscovered Paradise.
Obviously, I'm going to be waiting a bit for those P9 parts to come down in price a bit.

Wasn't that during his investigation, as the letter says? (I'm not too sure of the details of the situation.)

Bertoncini wasn't the type of player who needed to cheat because he wasn't good. He was the type of player who cheated because he knew he was good and thought he deserved to always win.

4-1 so far in a VM sealed. U/G is pretty good. It's like playing OD block U/G madness with better acceleration and removal. And Simian Grunts are awesome.

Hey, those are pretty cheap. Like, I shouldn't bother drafting to try and acquire them.
Wouldn't know about the prices. But $30 to even draft unless you pay $6 a pop per booster is a little insane for a digital card-game variant, to me.
It's kinda why I haven't delved into Magic Online enough: It's too big an overpriced money-sink. :/
I've played him. I would not be surprised if he's actually a psychopath.

Its hard to argue when you play hundreds of games a month in your underwear. Not having to stack shit or shuffle is pretty nice too.

It's worth pointing out the price difference between MTGO and paper.

Half price, basically.

Vintage Dredge: Magic if you only have 5 minutes to play a match.

I'm watching VM streams, and people are literally getting passed dual lands. This set is doing weird things to the MTGO economy.

Kenji passed 3 already
Why don't I ever get bomb sealed pools? Playing a match and the guy got two Thopter Copters or whatever, Tradewind Rider, Mana Drain and some other good stuff for blue. Looked like his deck built itself.
My R/W deck just kept getting mana screwed. Went both games without seeing a mountain and my shadow dudes suck when they just get Tradewinded... Stupid MODO shuffler...
