It's entirely possible, collectibles like MTG aren't exactly an unsafe investment compared to cryptocurrency - which can easily be stifled as a commidity, compared to something like MTG.

I know a few guys that did use their cryptocurrency gains to invest heavily into reserved list cards (several tens of thousands each.)

Its a combination of cryptocurrency investors who just happen to play or have played MTG and MTG players in general having that much faith in the game that the reserved list will stay as the reserved list and that most reserved list prices are not ever going to drop in price again. Reserved list buyouts are happening and as a result are causing more reserved list cards to be bought out. Tax return time can play a part in things too with people using their tax return money to buy into reserved list cards.

PFMS hasn't been posted on since July of last year (over 7 months ago). That's said. That being said I'm glad I quit playing 23 months ago. Sounds like a lot of the changes being made are sad for many people even though some changes people like

What? You mean people still actually play magic? In all seriousness though I feel like it's on the decline in terms of actual tournament playing. It seems that people just want to play casual and not have to pay to play in tournaments like they used to. At least local shops in the area where I live (within 30 min drive) do not attract enough of a play crowd to even run an 8 man tournament unless it's for a prerelease tournament and it's not really worth the time or potential reward for me to drive further to play so as a result I've just been buying, selling, and trading online anymore.

PFMS not commented on in 4+ months. Ugh the times we live in.

Did anyone else notice that the link to http://www.magictraders.com/ works now AND under the store section it actually has current sets.

Does this mean Dean is doing this stuff but not interacting on anything else?

Ooof.

The site was down for some amount of time. I noticed it around midnight 1/20 and it appears to have popped back up around 1pm or a little later.

Remember to backup whatever you need to.

Unfortunately appears in the 5 years since manaloop was spun up Keith let the domain expire and never got it back so we have no other place to go. In theory we could try and carve out a spot on mtgsalvation or something but it's probably best to all connect through the fb group though I know some of you refuse to get fb

Not gonna lie.

I was hoping the site would finally go down for good, but at the same time, I don't want to lose the ability to connect with other MOTLers.

I drift back every 2-3 months just to see if this world is still turning. I would feel sad if it wasn't here anymore...even if nothing really happens anymore.

It ain't over until the fat lady sings.

That's a weird expression though. Anyone knows where that came from?


On magic: Anyone on Arena here? Any thoughts on Kaldheim?

draft is kinda boring. Last set I just drafter GW and got my admission back a lot. This time around, GW and GB did good. I tried mono-B and blech.

Constructed I haven't played a lot but trying elves with war leader and B recursion. Still meh but the 2 BG sagas are really good.

Are we the ones already hooked up on there?

I love draft, but somehow I feel I usually play against people with constructed decks. It's like people draw everything at the right time against me. Sometimes you have that I suppose on Arena. Last night I couldn't win in Historic with a deck that I've currently ranked to Platinum. And I just couldn't win. Died to a lot of aggro, Goblins, mediocre 5 card hands that you have to keep.


Your deck looks solid. Those GB sagas are indeed great. My first draft got me into UW Foretell with that flyer that draws you a card when foretelling, and had 2 of those UW sagas that get a Foretell card back at lvl 3, plus 2 of those Dwarves that get an enchantment back if you exile a creature. Shenanigans. But even with all that synergy I got to 4 wins. It's frustrating to collect enough gems for the next sets pass.

I took out massacre wurm and added a couple of Garraths Whatever, all critters +3 but i still sucks. I run into a lot of angel aggro and just cant win.

Been mostly playing UWB doom foretold and dance if the manse. Pretty solid at getting to mythic. Just a lot of answers.

Yeah, we buds on arena. Played a couple times.

Draft is different in Kaldheim. One thing I noticed is that a lot of the rares and uncommons are useless. You're better off taking common removal Pack 1 Pick 1 than in most other formats. Foretell is also a bit broken. For example, I played a 5 drop on turn 5, the opponent responded the next turn by killing my creature, scrying 2, and putting 5 power onto the battlefield. That's not really supposed to happen in that format.

For constructed, I've been playing Rakdos Sac in Historic - it got a bit better with the new set. I've had more trouble picking a deck in standard. Temur Ramp is a good deck, but it's not fun - just play a bunch of land then slam an "I win" card. Bant Enchantments is a lot more fun but less competitive.

I remember, you hammered my GW counter deck

I play RB Rakdos Discard with Kroxa, Waste Not. It's fun, sometimes you swamp people and sometimes you can't win. I got to halfway Platinum 3 last season until I stopped (2 days left and 1 loss away from Platinum 4). Funny thing, I beat all the Uro decks easy. Yesterday I beat someone to death with his own Uro twice. Angrath rules LOL.

I'm trying to go RB aggro now but I lose out against all the other aggro decks (which are a LOT). I love Dreadhorde Butcher a lot but I can't get the deck to work, still at Diamond 4 now. It's frustrating.
