Someone give me $100k to invest in magic, and I'll give them the $100K back in a few years with 10% interest, and still have a $100k left for myself.

To be fair, just one person would be more than I would expect

Meanwhile, drafted for the first time in something like nine months last night. Ended up with a sweet UB eldrazi deck that didn't drop a game all night. Also managed open a Kalitas, which was one of the few cards I actually want from this set.

It almost feels like the power creep has finally caught up to wizards. I guess it's all about them thar planeswalkers now... and creatures are the simple solution for killing them, so they have to be efficient.

They found that land destruction and efficient countermagic were bad for the game, and people didn't like losing to a combo, but it feels like they never looked into how players felt about being beat by efficient creatures in 4 turns.

To think that Shadowmage Infiltrator, Exalted Angel, and Spiritmonger were once some of the best creatures.... and that was WITH good countermagic / combo decks / land kill / etc.

/Colorless 4/4 for four.
/Strips their best card.
/gives them something when it dies.
/probably not as good as their best card.

They did, but I was physically in the store making my order

As soon as I got my cards they removd all OGW from their inventory and called all the customers to cancel.

Is that the same as when stores tell you that they magically oversold on a card and then 10 minutes later, they have the same stock up at a higher price? Just like that, right?

I lose all sympathy for stores that pull stuff like this. If you were fine selling it at the listed price yesterday, then you should just suck it up and learn a lesson on watching for pricing shifts.

It's not like the B&R update, pro-tours, and SCG circuit are unknown quantities in the magic world at this point. Barring the recent accidental leak from the MTGO beta, most of those happen like clockwork and should be easy to anticipate.

I also don't know what you mean by this exactly, but I've been playing my own Jund brew for a few weeks now.

Build your own standard is where build a deck from a card pool made of any two blocks (ice age and on) along with any core set 5th edition and on.

All of the Affinity pieces were banned in standard and block.

I kinda want to do UG Madness or UB Tog. Those are really strong decks that are entirely contained within a single block. Seems like a good start to just add things here and there. But I didn't play back then and have absolutely no idea where to begin building.
