    I don't think that card will live up to the hype. Double black is an issue, timewalking yourself in the face of agro isn't too great either. Playing this on T3 will get rid of their T1-3 drops, they'll land a 4 drop, you don't untap, and you find yourself under as much pressure as before...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Not really, after all its the price of a pretty good dinner and nothing more. I had my fun with BoTW, never expected this console to deliver much more. The dust collection thing is hilarious though, I can't be the only one whose switch' screen is electrostatically charged, literally attracting...

    I'm amazed by the amount of dust my switch is collecting. This isn't a pun, the screen literally acts like a dust-collector.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Pretty amazing how they managed to deliver such a low quality game given its background and budget. This and DOW3 are certainly competing for biggest disappointments of the year. I hadn't pirated in years, but with the way franchises are being handled now, lowering in quality with each new...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I torrented this game and uninstalled it within 40 minutes. There is a reason this game isn't received as well as the rest of the series, and that is because its a worse game. When you have people supporting it while also admitting that dialogue and animations are bad, what does that really...

    I would replay and enjoy FFVII on switch. Maybe there will be a remake in 2023. I know I'm asking too much. The industry just keeps making terrible calls. I remember arguing with Elidroth when I still played EQlive. I have since considered the option that I was too involved to be objective...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I hate that this season will only be 7 episodes "due to the smaller amount of story content remaining, as well as the increased production values and time required to film episodes involving larger set pieces than in previous seasons." There is plenty of story to tell, and if this series can't...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Red dead redemption can be "played" on PC with Playstation now, I expect RDR2 to hit it in 2019 at the latest. Its a really novel way of bringing games to consumers - you develop them for a technically inferior platform so you can stream them on the most powerful rigs on the market. Such a...

    As an absolutely terrible (casual) player I can confirm I have seen this happen now and then, usually the hit chance is a bit higher for me but not much. I take a break after that.

    I expect them to announce a pokeman game at E3 which will go gold end of 2017. Which is decent if you pick up your switch & BotW somewhere in October this year, so you at least get a second top tier title within 2 months of buying the console. For those that got it at launch the wait is...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I don't see why they made a portable capable of running BoTW but offer no games which even come close to it. Have a hard time getting exited over yet to be announced games. I feel more people would share this sentiment if they had gotten the switch at launch. Skyrim with no mods and worse gfx...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    The lack of quality games is really starting to bother me, Switch has been out for over 2 months and its basically a zelda box that also lets you play an older mariokart, even older indie games, and some weird jap games. Lineup seems extremely poor also, maybe I am just spoiled as a PC...

    If prices go up 500%, I'll keep my decks, and if they implode, I'll keep my decks. Love going to FNM and bringing extra decks to pass around. Just need to make it a habit to ask people to help replace sleeves, that gets old fast.

    I liked PoP. It wasn't easy, but I was in a strong guild, and PoTime gear really was something new. Some game-changing clickies there (shaman slow clicky, pouch of the tranquil, the disease proc buff thingy that gave good agro, ..) GoD was hard as fuck, but completing the mountain trials...

    Since you claim there are 1000 legacy players for each vintage player (not correct by a long shot, unless euro events start drawing 60k legacy players), the ceiling for legacy is far from being reached.

    The combat stats the CPU's units gain on legendary really break the game. Goblins should not fight to the death.

    I'd be glad to carry on, but I'm unsure what arguments you'd add to the discussion, so I'll accept your concession. In other news; in 3 weeks I hope to be playing my 4x chains of mephistopheles deck to a T8 .. or maybe not. Just in case I do, you know what you might want to buy!

    Who cares about proxies for a dying format man, its not like stores are going to keep organising those events. I don't think you are buying your own argument. The Wotc case against proxies is only in DCI-sanctioned events afaik.

    I mean if vintage is dead and legacy is dying, why not proxy the expensive cards? Suits every goal, except competitive, and since dead / dying formats don't have competitive games ..? Someone elaborate, I'm not understanding the problem here.

    Indeed, when at a 50 player LGS, gaining 1 new Vintage player / year, is pretty solid! There certainly hasn't been anyone selling outWhich of course is a trend, or prices wouldn't be rising, right! Thread is pretty entertaining, thx guys

    So what is your point? Economical reality an issue? Sorry again. Try downvoting me again, perhaps it will help!I'm social like that. I even upvoted you! If you think the format will die, play fucking proxies at your kitchen-table, but stop being frustrated about reality as it is...

    This really. Our LGS gained a new player last year, a russian post-doctorate student working on some kind of healthcare shit.. in a few years that guy is going to have a solid income, and he'll just buy shit at whatever its priced at.

    I think I've posted this, but why would Legacy die "in a few years", while Vintage is still going strong? You keep posting about "excluded" and whatnot, seems there is some other issue here. Do you go into the "what car do you own" thread and tell people their expensive cars are about to...

    I guess I'll have my fries without salt today, I can read your post a couple of times Maybe they'll reprint IE or CE edition in some form, that way you can enjoy the older formats also. Until then, I expect some to keep claiming a format is dead because they can't play it. Its fine, I...

    the legacy staples that got bought out are popular in EDH also, which is very much alive lets just ignore that for the convenience of the argument being made by the "legacy is dead" people here

    Its healthy enough to keep the prices on the rise, which is all that is relevant when discussing the price-ceiling on legacy.

    MTG thread

    If legacy becomes inaccessible and local scenes die, cards will be dumped and their price will drop. Stop claiming legacy will die over prices rising, again, Vintage. Modern is a shit format compared to legacy, I keep seeing people go from modern to legacy, but never the other way. Once...

    Seems pointless to argue over that, vintage is still being played, "enough" is relative. As long as there is demand the prices will keep going up, which is the case, and which proves legacy has a lot of room to hit its ceiling.

    If it is dead, why are the prices still rising? Because despite a smaller audience, this audience has the money to spend.

    Vintage isn't being "kept" alive. There are players with the cards, and they play. Pretty simple. Sorry pal, but as a USA player, don't tell me how alive vintage is, or how many people there are in the community. You guys really got the short end of the stick there. Our LGS is tiny, 50...
