    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    Looks better than sequels. Low bar, but sure whatever.

    Untapped artifact land. Finally a decent fucking card.

    Pretty sure it's not shrinking. COVID was a blow to the traditional way of playing Magic but they still sold more cards than ever. I've never seen good estimates of market size among players at home, but they've always said the LGS and competitive crowds were a very small fraction of total...

    Which is absolutely bananas, because there's not a DnD *or* Magic nerd in the world who hasn't heard of and had an opportunity to play the other game if they wanted to.

    In a way I'm glad it's coming out right after MH2. I spent a fortune on actual good cards from that one. If I can skip this set for any format that matters, all the better. It's just really dumb and capturing all the worst aspects of tabletop culture.

    It's a set full of Emerald Charms with shitty names that are hard to remember. Everything is modal, which means everything is weak. Then you stack on an incredibly parasitic mechanic with dungeons, and you're all set for a Kamigawa level shit show. The simple fact is that without story, DND...

    Yeah, this is a big let down coming off of MH2 for me. I was honestly looking forward to the Forgotten Realms set because I have fond memories, but I really dislike some of the choices here. The card names, for one thing. They just suck.

    Fallen Empires had some great ideas, but the lack of rares and the glut of art differences ended up making packs not feel special. If Arabian Nights had the same print volume, it'd likely have felt similar (minute the straight up busted Library of Alexandria).

    Don't feel bad. They got me for a whole set of new shocks, despite piles of the fuckers.

    LOL, so the old border MH1 cards are only in foil. Thanks WotC, saved me some cash.

    I'm totally fine with the retro border stuff being reprinted this way. It'll still dip a little bit, and I can snap up a set to keep forever. I'm just dreading sending them off to Canavan for signing. That dude is so fucking slow. Going on two years now to return the first set of FoNs.

    I'm kindof a sucker for the new shockland art. About half of em anyway. Given the track record on secret lair price retention I might just snag em for the hell of it. Those text-only lands are hella dumb though.

    One of the box companies makes 10 row card hotels with color coded boxes. I ended up grabbing two of them and it gives me ample space for the bulk junk. I keep it loosely organized by color and first letter, but mostly I never have to go into them. All the playable stuff is in Dex chests 4 to a...

    This set is boring as hell. It feels like it was ML generated by harry potter fans and weebs.

    Pappy

    Weller 12 is my go to "nice" whiskey. It's got a bit of a price premium but not bad and it's the same mash bill as Pappy according to the interwebs.

    Dreadhorde ban is kinda lame. While yes, the other bans will drive Delver variants towards more Dreadhorde, the reasoning that you have to remove it immediately is just as true of Mother of Runes. On the other hand, Dreadhorde and Oko are both cards I can't get artist signed so fuck em. Wasn't...

    Burst mana doesn't scale as well in 4 player games. This'll be busted some of the time, but it avoids most of what makes Black Lotus such a problem card. It's still dumb because it'll end up in a bunch of stuff whether it belongs or not.

    Am I the only one who really enjoys Messiah and Children? I loved that part of the series.

    This stinks of internal politics. Some stiff dicked product VP is trying to shank his boss. The longer I spend in corporate America, the more I start assuming everywhere works like OCP from RoboCop.

    How the fuck do I watch this? I specifically signed up for HBO Max on Hulu, and none of the Max content is there. It's a fucking scam. I can't even find a good torrent thanks to some stupid BBC show with the same goddamn name.

    The effects seem to be balanced so that 1 additional creature is more or less on rate. I doubt it will amount to much, but it's also complex enough with these creature types that they might have overlooked something important. Lot of older warriors and wizards to help enable.

    Today's announcements got me pretty excited. 2021 is vikings, harry potter, dnd, and movie monsters. With a smattering of old border reprints for the fogeys like me, and a new modern horizon to fuck everything up. That's pretty gas.

    Mine have been sitting in Mark Zug's PO box since March or I'd likely do the same. Never actually gonna play Elves again.

    I liked the premiere fine, but this doesn't even feel like the same show anymore. It's the hardest of hard resets.

    It won't shock me to see things drop a lot. No one should look at this as anything other than a sunk cost for fun, and I say that as someone with a shitload of money tied up in beta power, duals and random old shit. Don't treat it as "wealth", don't play nerd stocks. It's a grown up hobby like...

    Mana Crypt dropped to $30 at the last reprint, then slowly climbed. I expect the same to happen.

    The tonal shifts in this show will give you whiplash. I'm all for beating up Nazis on television, they're the ultimate punching bags. However, these are Nazis in the way 300 portrayed Persians. It's beyond comic booky. These Nazis would fit better in Preacher or The Boys, whereas this show...

    It's pretty great for picking up cheap singles. I've been snagging 4 regular prints of things for competitive decks and 1 extended art / fancy shit for EDH, and everything is dirt cheap right now.

    Opal was in the same position in Modern as Workshops in Vintage. For a long time it was a pillar with a bunch of busted stuff it enabled. Unlike Shops, Opal unlocked a lot of really broken velocity beyond artifacts and we've arrived at the current state. When all it did was speed up Affinity no...
