Just click the condition you feel your card is and look for the value. Works pretty well.

Eh. That's where tcg gets questionable IMO. I think you're better off discounting from tcg low based on condition. __________________ "Message to women worldwide: Girls....we're stupid.

Can anyone recommend a good place to go to find more about Vintage events? Especially in California. I want to play in each format just to keep the game exciting but I don't know where exactly to plug myself in on a Vintage level. Thanks - Nick

There are a TON of artists at GP portland in a month, would anyone be able to get some cards altered for me? PM me for more info, we can obviously talk about compensation and such, thanks! I would strongly prefer someone with decent refs.

This has made me so flipping happy. I'm almost tempted to forgive them for the beta.

The new site is still clunky as hell to navigate. DailyMTG used to have the title of the column and the name of the author. The new site provides none of that info. You also have to go into the archives to see new content...

I hate the new site as well, especially for event coverage.

I gave up trying to follow GP: Chicago coverage. It was nearly impossible to find the video stream. The old design may have been outdated, but it never bothered me. It was a lot easier to navigate. __________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air!I collect Granite Gargoyles. Send them my way.

I have been out of cards since Dragons Maze. My brother is coming into town and we wanted to get a box. We usually play pack wars while opening the box.Which new set is the most fun to play with? Thanks! Tim

RTR would be the best. Or splurge and get a modern masters box. Theros block may not be worth it.

was more looking for one of the new sets (after dragons maze) (born of gods/ m14/ journey to nyx) We each open a pack and play against each other. Fun way to open a box  Any other thoughts. Thanks Tim

Conspiracy. We actually did 4 and 5 player pack wars as well and they were very fun mini-games. We started at 10 life too.

I'm thinking there's going to be a strong wall theme/mechanic is Khans. There is a suspiciously high number of cards in Theros and M15 that care about 'walls' without enough walls for those cards to matter.

so who has a list of their favorite mtg video content sites? id like to diversify since there's just not enough content to go around for all the free time i have (marathoning Star Trek TOS just isnt cutting it anymore). Here are my favorites:Channel Fireball (mainly to learn draft archetypes before diving in to a queue) MTGO Academy (pauper and funky drafts with loadingreadyrun) Twitch - twoo (for fnm brew ideas) Tcgplayer - Frank Lepore's standard constructed videos are just hilarious. He's just a great internet personality. Twitch - TomMartell - even though he talks way too fast to understand sometimes and plays terrible music, he drafts to the odds and actually acknowledges signaling Twitch - CeddyP, GregHatch, Darkest_Mage - not much content lately but they actually play magic well. Give me moar!

So looking at the M15 spoiler. It's okay I guess. I'd rather keep doing JBT drafts though.Weird that only the enemy pains got reprinted just as Maro said R&D was going to reprint all 10 at a time.

Here is (one of?)the MaRo quote. I link to the source on the previous page. "R&D has come around on dual lands and now believes that we have to try and give the audience access to all ten pairs as much as we can." If you read the WOTC article that spoiled the lands it clarifies that they intend to do full cycles in a block. It also hints that these lands were necessary for aggro decks. http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/making-mana-2014-06-27 "So, if Magic 2015 only has five lands, how will Standard cope? Have we changed our thinking on dual lands? The answer is no—the statement I made last year is still true—our hope moving forward with Standard is to make sure that players have the mana base to make their decks work, and part of that means that players in Block will also have adequate mana." We can speculate that the land cycle in Khans doesn't increase your mana the turn they enter play. Based on the language in the article It sounds to me like the Khans land cycle not a reprint either.

Has anybody ever published data on MTG popularity by area? Is any information on the state/city of buyers available from ebay?

An instant message from KFCbigDUDE:"Hello. I'm selling a mint Beta Black Lotus (valued at $8,000). Make me an offer. Since I have 0 refs, I need to send first.

Regarding the enemy duals being in m15, I would guess we'll get allied duals only in khans.
