Overall this is pretty damn cool.. and extra nerdy. Only complaint is he made Ganon the only Planeswalker in the set.. should've done it for Link too!

Man, now I really want a new 2D LoZ as big or bigger than LttP.
Christ, are there really that many creatures.

Treasure drop is interesting, but unless I missed something, besides the land and the totem was there any other cards that really made use of the Dark World type?

[Weltall]

Anyone have any of the DOTP Titans they want to sell me? PM

Actually, anyone have any cards they want to sell send me a PM with prices. Buying cards right now.

So anyways I've been playing since a few weeks before new pherexia came out. I know alot but i still feel new to the game. With 2012 set coming out tomorrow, I thought it would be fun to try out a Launch party draft. http://www.sportsryter.com/content/m12-launch-party in seattle. I'm taking my brother and my friend with me. What can we expect? we've never done something like this before.

So, I bought a box of M12. Got 2 Infernal Titans, 1 foil, 1 Chandra, 1 Sorin, and some other decent shit. All and all, I'm really pleased. For my League pool, I got a Day of Judgement and a Primeval titan. I run white and have 2 Days already so that was just baller and the Titan is epic trade material.

Midnight Release~

[miokomioko]

Magic Online just passed out a Satisfaction survey with the typical questions about where the game excels or lacks (graphics/chat/deckbuilding/formats/tournaments/etc.) and from the sounds of one of the question sections, they intend on either overhauling the game or adding some decent stuff to it like optional AI opponents and an Auction House.

I hope they at least give it a graphical overhaul. Even without both of the Duals of the Planeswalkers games shaming it, it looks hideously outdated.

That's a pretty damn good haul from a single box..

Except that box cost $90-120, and the value of those rares = $45. Buying singles is always > boxes yo

Sorin is like $1, but I'm giving it $3 in value right now since people are retards.

Every card in history has gone down greatly in value when reprinted back-to-back. Titans are no exception, esp. with 4/5 of them being a promo card now.

Primevil will hold at $12-20 over the next several months, but the rest fall into the $3-7 category with ease.

[Synbios]

How do you guys keep your non playing cards organized? Do you have a separate box for each set and then go through it and find cards you need or what?

[Linsivi]

This is honestly one of the worst sets in a very long time to crack boxes for. The only thing worth opening boxes for are the 3 new planeswalkers, and at this point it's just better to buy your set now, or wait for all but 1 to crash in price and buy.

[Ghost_Wheel22]

I haven't bought boxes since Mirrodin. Buying a box almost never breaks even, let alone profitable. Just buy a common and uncommon playset for dirt cheap, buy the majority of singles for a few bucks each and trade around for the more expensive cards.

People get butthurt/jelly over $$$ decks being so hard to complete, all the while buying box after box and pack after pack and pull penny shit. Goddamn common sense.

Edit: I don't include the boxes I win from events at my LGS.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

I don't buy boxes to make money. I do it for shit for my deck and traders. If I wanted money, I wouldn't play Magic.

[Weltall]

You aren't getting the point..lol

That amount of money you spent will get you much better cards for your deck/trades than buying a box.

Owned my release party with a bad deck, but I had a Grave Titan lol.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

To each their own. I also greatly enjoy that feeling of opening packs and waiting to see what you get inside.

And I just buy one box at a time. Theres some people at the Game store I go to who buy 4+ boxes

This.

Believe it or not, some people still play Magic because collecting is fun and playing is fun and not just for the math of it. This is a big reason I am not a huge fan of competitive play. Competing against clones of the top couple decks at any given time with your own clone of the same doesn't always sound like a blast.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Ya, was funny at the regionals here. The final two was Caw-Blade Vs Caw-Blade. The Caw-blade with Big Jace won over the Caw-Blade with Bonehoards. Me, I was happy running my Archive Trap Mill deck.

I will never understand this justification. You are literally throwing money away opening packs. At least draft and get enjoyment and possibly get a little better at the game.
