How many people here played MTG

raise your hands

I've been into mtg finance for a long time. The overall game is in a downturn currently. Ask me anything.

i did
mtgox was also comfy

I play. Well, I buy singles and build decks, but going to the cardshop and playing just makes me depressed and anxious. I don't get along with the people there.

is it a good time to go through my old cards yet? I looked at the prices recently and some of them were pretty eye popping for cards that used to be worth nothing that I have 8x-12x of. I absolutely do not need the money but am wondering if you think the older cards are peaking now or will keep getting more valuable?

Bought 100 jaces and sold them at ATH. pretty comfy hold

Post your favorite cards

also what are the best long term holds in your opinion

Depends what you're talking about. Alpha-Antiquities (golden age) stuff I would hold on to. If it's in great shape, get it graded. Anything that's after the dark or not on the reserved list, I would sell now. Just my personal opinion and what I've done with my collection. Of course if you actually have 8x of cards, it wouldn't hurt to bring it down to a playset and put the proceeds into crypto.

Where's the best place (other than a garage sale) to find a bulk lot of cards that someone wants to get rid of? On eBay and CL they've all been scoured for rares, mythics etc.

Rudy?

Right now? Graded power. Playable reserved list cards. It's tough to say right now. Money has flooded into all the really solid stuff already so I can't recommend buying much, especially with the overall downturn but I'm holding things like treachery, willow satyr, tawnos's coffin, wheel of fortune.

Any land from alpha and beta,
Appraised dual lands
0 CMC mana rocks of any kind

Nothing that’s not on the reserve list

The times when modern was called extended were the best times

>ravager, goblins, tooth and nail

Damn it felt good. Then the first ever plansewalker got printed and it all dumped into the ground. I went to a prerelease recently after 2 years of not playing and holy shit this got so bad

Sometimes I play at my friends place when we're drunk

same, maybe we're friends

Nope
I'm a Russian boy and none of my friends visit any aib

Is there a good way to play it online?
Where I live at the moment, there are very few MGT players ...

curious about this as a newbie

...

show me mtg card thats on the same power level as pic

Yes, you can play it online.
Just google this shit, srsly

That got changed I think, not as abusable anymore.

From the upcoming set

That’s fucking OP. Desperate money grab.

this cards better

Got this rare card from my very first pack, a long fucking time ago and still remember to this day.

It's a joke set m80, it's called Unstable

All the cards will be banned and it's just for fun

my first 3 packs I opened 3 rares worth $15 and my friends proceeded to scam them away from me.

I know, but there are several games and i meant which one is worth playing

I got a Royal Assasin in a Magic 2012 pack once

It's only worth like $1 today though

lol what is this meta shit

Rarest cards from this era i thought were

Lord of the pit
Shyvana dragon

Shivan xd

...

Ravnica-Theros standard will always hold a place in my heart

Checking in. You came here from Veeky Forums?

Rudy do you invest in crypto too?

Ditto. I had fun creating crazy decks with that rotation

>tfw to smart

I've been playing Hearthstone for 3 years. Roast me.

Didn't Rudy said he doesn't have any money in crypto because he doesn't want to invest in something he doesn't understand?

same
even spent $300

Are you me ?

izzet player here ^^

Bought all the adventures but never any packs or arena tickets. Still pretty satisfied with my collection, I miss legendaries but I have 15k dust sitting in case I really want to buikd a deck bad.

Blue and White stasis deck

Mirrodin + New Phyrexia were where it was at. Infect + proliferate is my fav combo. I'm ready for the hate.

I never understood why the ability was written that way. Is there a scenario in which your opponent could win but you wouldn't lose?

>me, lived in a pretty small town
>bunch of my friends are into d&d, boardgames, mtg and similar
>go home to my mom to pick up my MTG cards so I can play with my friends
>get super into it, have a great modern deck that wins local tournaments
>EDH deck that I've had for 6 years or so, very good cards in it
>plan to leave town to move to home city to go back into uni, forget all my cards at a friends house
>forget about it until a few weeks ago
>give the friend a text asking about the cards
>"sorry man i dont remember what happened to them. me and gf just moved apartments and we threw out alot of stuff, probably your cards too because they arent here"
>my "friend" threw away my fucking mtg cards valued at the very least 10.000$
>"sorry man"

Modern and extended were never the same format, but I also miss the extended format. Modern + edh best formats ever though

This sucks but I also don't understand how you forgot $10,000 worth of cards like that

Some cards have effects making a player win and others have effects making a player lose, platinum angel needs to handle both

Also the month period after Khans where every format was broken
Standard from Jeskai Ascendancy combo,
modern from same thing + treasure cruise was nuts in every single deck,
legacy was completely broken from treasure cruise
Every single vintage deck instantly played 4x

At first I got accepted into a uni close to the town I lived in, but the day before semester started I got a mail saying I was accepted into the uni I really wanted to go to (prestigious uni in my very big hometown), so I thought I was gonna move 25 miles and still be close to my friends, but since I got accepted to the other uni I moved 250 miles instead, the same day semester started (the day after I found out I got accepted). Didnt think about the cards as I was busy with the move

Because they were both stupid.
REEEEEEEEEEEE
