It's 8th edition onwards. So basically only things that have been printed in the new frames. So no Sol Ring

Yes, it's real. It will be the format for PT Philly next month. Yes, it's causing havoc with prices at the moment. As with all other formats, as long as there is a version of the card that is legal for play in the format, all versions of that card are legal. As for Sol Ring in particular, boxed sets do not count. It must be in a core set or a standard expansion to count. __________________ There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here!All your Gruul Nodorogs are belong to me. Trade them to me, please!

Why the hell would it ever work that way. Seriously. Legality is determined by expansion symbol, not by card frame. __________________ "I never got any respect at all. My family moved a lot when I was a kid, but I always found them." -- Rodney Dangerfield

It's gotta be in a set that was originally printed in the new card frame. Mirrodin and up, 8th edition and up. So like, STP was printed in the new card frame yeah, but like Ice Age wasn't.

Seriously, these prices are bonkers. Has it ever been this crazy in a single year before? First Legacy prices spike like mad, then the modern causes prices of random crap to go through the roof. Feels like a good time to liquidate everything and just play Pauper.

Are you guys talking about MTGO with these price hikes? EDIT: Nevermind... I checked the Pulses and they were still low, but the other ones are silly.

Bridge from Below's price is also silly too.

Yeah I saw that someone mentioned Grove of the Burnwillows yesterday or the day before, and I was like eh, the finished results on Ebay aren't that high, whatever. Must not have caught up, and then I checked Pulse, and SCG still has some in stock at like 7 (for SP), so I was like maybe they're talking about MTGO? Must be a case of me not paying enough attention! Which is a constant problem. All of this seems crazy to me, but I'm not gonna complain since I probably own a bunch of the cards in question.

Planning on building a modern deck. Definitely going with G/W, but which of the other colors is the best to add in?Rock - G/W/B (Dark Confidant, Thoughtseize) Bant - G/W/U (Vendilion Clique, Mana Leak) Zoo - G/W/R (Nacatl, Bloodbraid Elf)

I really want to see a 4 color zoo variant. I think it'd be pretty neat. G/W/R/B You get Confidants/Thoughtseize in a zoo shell.

In Legacy, it's called Dark Zoo, but I'm curious if the Confidant/Seizes/Fetches/Shocks will add up in damage.

So is modern going to kill Legacy like all the speculators hope, or are we just going to have more formats worth playing?

Mmm, and all that for the privilege of playing with Bob. Sounds like it'll get curbstomped against any other zoo matchup. __________________ "I never got any respect at all. My family moved a lot when I was a kid, but I always found them." -- Rodney Dangerfield

I didnt realize how high Vendilion Clique had gotten. I posted on a guys page to sell him 3 Ex Cliques at 18 each, and my inbox was spammed by people wanting to buy them. I guess thats a pretty good sign I should just hold onto them.

Wow, those are some amazingly sweet pulls. The top 3 (4 with Bridge at $20 now?) money cards in the set? Yes please!Also if you don't want those dupe rares, I'm actually looking for all of them and would be interested in trading for them.
