"Kind of"

[bv310]

It looks exactly like Modern Masters 1 for me. A fun draft format with a handful of $50 bills thrown in for funsies. I like the archetypes they have available, and the rarity changes are neat.

It actually looks like a significantly better draft format than MM1 to me. The archetypes seem less "obvious". Less just "take all cards of a tribe. Deck is done" and more synergistic. I'm really looking forward to it, although I'm disappointed in the lack of a couple reprinted uncommons/commons.

On DTK, sometimes R/B is open!

MM2015 seems kind of disappointing.

I'd be fine with it if packs were still just $7, but at $10 a pack, I'm not interested in paying $40 for less value than MMA, even if the draft format seems cool(BG Eldrazi represent!).

It looks exactly like Modern Masters 1 for me. A fun draft format with a handful of $50 bills thrown in for funsies. I like the archetypes they have available, and the rarity changes are neat.

There are 9 rares that are worth more than a dollar. 9. As opposed to 30 in MM1.

There are 4 uncommons in modern masters 2 worth more than 3$. 1 worth over 5$.

The mythics are better since there is only one brick as opposed to like 5, but this set, as a set designed to mitigate high prices and reprint things that need it is an unmitigated failure. Absolutely horrendous.

And they're charging MORE.

Comet Storm could have easily been Through the Breach.

*should

[Knight of Cydonia]

Shit, I'd have even taken Goblin Guide with an absolutely un-necessary rarity bump to Mythic over Comet Storm. Or Warren Instigator. Or Urabrask the Hidden. Or even just a big Timmy dragon like Balefire Dragon or Kargan Dragonlord or... SOMETHING. Hell, find a bullshit reason to put Thundermaw Hellkite in.

Promised my boss that if he keeps up with the "giving me heaps of shifts" and the consequential money that comes with it I'll let him teach me magic and get me into it.

[Thestatusquo]

I thought you already tried to learn magic?

[PeregrineV]

Really torn on whether to get a box. If I do, torn, on whether to open it or keep unopened for future resale.

[Thestatusquo]

I don't think this set will balloon in quite the way the last one did.

[PeregrineV]

They are talking about $30-$40 drafts at the store. I actually have most of these cards already, so really want to understand the overpricing/underprinting strategy.

[Thestatusquo]

I haven't seen a draft under 45 here.

[sthar8]

we're running ours at $29.99 with minimal prizes.

Hey Shea/others who play Legacy, I have $700 in store credit to CapeFear, and have been PucaTrade'ing my way into a mono-B Reanimator for Legacy. If I want to upgrade the deck to something more powerful, would I be better off going TinFins or regular Reanimator? For either of those, am I better off buying the lands or the Force of Wills first?

[Natirasha]

I just got a friend to bankroll my draft irl. I mean, our cards are pretty much communal anyway.

[Klazam]

TINFINS

lands

use dazes as shitty replacement for fow

[Thestatusquo]

That is one hundred percent shitty advice for sustainable legacy play. FoW is going to go in just about 70% of legacy decks, whereas the lands will not, and in a deck that cares about its life total as little as reanimator does shocklands are way closer to duals than forces are to dazes in a deck that completely dies to hosers.

In terms of which deck to play? I think that's mainly personal preference. I find tin fins to be more fun to play but reanimator is objectively the better deck (based off of tournament results in the last few years.)

But, like I said, forces are one of those cards you're going to have to pick up eventually if you want to play legacy even a little bit seriously. I'd suggest you do so.

[Oman]

I thought you already tried to learn magic?

Bought cards, moved, didn't know anyone and didn't want to learn at FNM. Also they moved onto a new set or whatever while I was moving. gamestore guy didn't think to tell me that those cards were going to be non-valid in two months.

[Klazam]

considering tinfins land is blue duals, i'd say they are both equal in usablity.

but fair point on shocklands instead of dazes. follow his advice. get forces

[Thestatusquo]

I mean, sea's are played in what, BUG delver, storm and reanimator?

Forces are played in: RUG Delver, BUG Delver, UR Delver, Infect, merfolk, miracles, stoneblade, UWR delver, show and tell, solidarity etc etc.

[bv310]

My thing is more trying to get a deck that I'll really enjoy. I'm still living in the middle of nowhere, and likely continuing on with said middle-of-nowehereness for the next year. I'd like to have a functional Legacy deck just so I can play in whatever format tourneys happen to be going on. I'm thinking the Forces and Fetches plan (along with the Opals I need for Modern) are going to be my purchase to put together Reanimator with the stuff I already have.

Only downside for me is that they only have 2 English and 1 Spanish Force, and no Entombs, which I need either way. Gonna hit up ebay for that and pick up a 4th Daze to fill in for the 4th Force until I do.

[Thestatusquo]

I hate foreign cards.
