If you’re wondering how things are with the MTG Finance crowd these days, let’s put it this way, Rudy has now started making videos about investing in LEGO.

Today marks the 1st anniversary of the biggest flop in recent MTG history. Wizards internal forecasts were hoping for 20k+ 30th Anniversary Edition units to be sold; instead they sold less than 2k, and badly damaged their reputation at the same time.

People who don't play Magic can never appreciate how significant the difference between "draw a card and then discard a card" and "discard a card and then draw a card" can be.

This is another of my all time favorite examples of interconnected art in Magic. These are from Innistrad blocks 5 years apart.

In the battle of MTG Players vs MTG Finance, I'm not 100% sure that the players have won, but I'm pretty sure that the finance bros have lost.

Bold move from the person who decided to ship me a 20 year old card worth $40 without using either a penny sleeve or top loader.

Hot take: this card is utterly amazing and is criminally underplayed.

This art is plagiarized, as clear as day.
A statement regarding artwork used for the card Wayfarer's Bauble from the Lost Caverns of Ixalan Commander Decks:

It's so hard to fathom that the game design side of WOTC continues to make fun and innovative cards that make a game 30 years old feel fun and fresh, while the "business" side of WOTC seems hell bent on taking 30 years of goodwill and setting it on fire.

Same card, same art, same frame, released a few weeks apart. One is found in packs that cost $250, the other in packs that cost less than $5. But only one is a real Magic card. Hint: it isn't the expensive one.

Given the lack of bans announced yesterday, now seems like an opportune time to remind everyone that Wizards once banned Kird Ape.

Magic 30th is a perfect example of how price maximization and profit maximization are very different. Had WOTC sold it for $10 / pack with an unlimited print-run, they would have made huge sums of money. Instead, they had a "ultra premium" product no one bought.

Can someone check-in with the MTG finance bros and make sure they’re okay?

I love it when people get triggered when I play Panharmonicon. Mainly because it then triggers them a second time.

If there is a single card that summarizes Fallen Empires, it's Ebon Praetor:
Unplayably weak ✔
Indecipherable effect ✔
Artist clearly on acid ✔
I love it!!

I'm sorry, but I just can't get into these confetti foils. This is probably my least favorite Blood Moon ever made.

WOTC doesn't need to do more. They need to do less. Less special cards. Less boxes. Less printing. Just go back to regular booster boxes and focus on making the game as fun to play as possible.

Nothing quite beats the feeling of dropping a Deflecting Palm when your opponent needlessly beefs up his creature to 30 power and swings when you're on 2 life.

I'm sorry, but I just can't get into Magic cards that don't look like Magic cards. And my generalized dislike for them them seems growing proportionally to their number.

You know, I'm looking forward to hearing stories about someone losing 1,000 life, surviving, and then going on to win the game. Somewhere, sometime, this is going to happen!

Sometimes, I just like to stop and think about the fact that Ancestral Recall and Healing Salve are part of the same cycle.

9 mana is a lot for a card that will probably result in you losing the game anyway, but man does this guy shake up the board state!

How often do you guys bluff when playing Magic? I’ve come to the realization that I’m probably not bluffing enough.

Few Magic cards define an era of Magic in the way that Jace the Mindsculpter does. So format warping that he was banned, only to be unbanned in 2018 to help sell M25. Now with power creep, he doesn't even see much play in Modern. Poor Jace...

Why on earth are there two-sided ad cards in Play Boosters? If you need to include ads at all, put them on the back of tokens!

I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but it's definitely not okay for you to cast Smokestack during a casual game.

Of all of the lopsided cycles in Magic history, Tolarian Academy vs Shivan Gorge has to be the most comically so. In a cycle that also had Gaea's Cradle and Serra Sanctum, I seems like that they ran out of card types to use with red so kinda just gave up. 🤣

I'm still waiting to hear of someone taking the 1000 damage, surviving, and then going on to win! 😃

What’s your favorite combo story? I will never forget the first time I saw the Phyrexian Dreadnaught + Stifle combo in a game. Everyone in my playgroup looked at each other simultaneously and said "wait, that's legal??" The combo was then immediately banned by house rules. 😂

Does anyone still collect full sets? It used to be a real thing, but you rarely hear of it these days.

Aligning the set symbol color with rarity from Exodus onwards was the best update in card design over the last 30 years, and its not even close.

Unpopular opinion: Baldur's Gate is a seriously underrated set. It is legitimately one of my favorite sets to draft of the last couple of years.

Ramping into this guy on T3 is a beautifully simply way to lose friends. I highly recommend it!

We all know what SHOULD be banned tomorrow! It won’t happen while they’re selling so many LOTR packs, but this card was just a mistake.

I'm starting a charity for Control players upset that Cavern of Souls is entering Standard. Thinking of calling it "Counterspell Care".

"I don't like Hasbro's corporate greed so let's go play that game made by the people that charge a family thousands of dollars to see Mickey Mouse instead" is a pretty wild take, if you ask me.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think there’s a chance that Wizards may have some stale inventory.

Given that we’re always complaining about power creep, why aren’t more people rejoicing the arrival of this guy?

So far, 100% of the times I have resolved this guy on Arena draft, my opponent has immediately conceded. I still haven't actually seen him do his thing!

I don't mind the Play Boosters concept, but this really does read as:
"You should thank me for fixing something that I quite deliberately broke, and also pay me for the privilege."
@KairiSawler
If we didn't do anything, draft boosters were going away. This whole change was to save drafting (and other limited formats).

It doesn't matter how many times they change the art, this card will always remind me of this moment.

Cavern of Souls getting reprinted into Standard is officially the best thing that has happened to me in 2023.

I miss 1994 Magic when it was deemed necessary to stipulate that if you gained control of an opponents creature, you had to give it back at the end of the game.

With everyone excited over the new neon ink Mana Crypts, I felt like posting a reminder that the Masterpiece version remains unparalleled in its beauty.

It was a product that seemed to unite the whole community in opposition: players were aghast at charging $1000 for 4 packs of cards, and the whales and collectors were aghast that their RL cards were getting reprinted. The product somehow managed to upset absolutely everyone.

This is the only Arabian Knights card I own. A very well loved Flying Men, that has survived 30 years, many moves and now 3 kids. He may not look like much, but he’ll always be special to me!

So the Hasbro CFO just "retired", likely with a multi-million dollar payout. May I suggest that they pay her in 30th Edition packs instead?
