Yeah random isn't the right word, I was really just pointing out that there are going to be a lot of shitty expeditions just like the gearhulk cycle so hangarback shouldn't really be too surprising.Quote:

Ok, maybe not this guy - but who knows! I like Thopter Foundry!
The Red Gearhulk is interesting. It's playable in big red imho, as it essentially is a 6/6 that is hardcastable via ritual and it usually draw 3 and attack for 6 off sneak attack. It's unlikely people would ever risk losing the game against big red by making you not draw. Flipping an emrakul is lethal and even a a single big drop or a ritual + sneak attack can make this go for 12+ damage easily. It's possibly better than inferno titan, not that it would go in its place, but in the one of the godo/batterskull package.
Can't wait to sleep up Show and Derp and cast a Brainstorm right before putting this guy in play. :DQuote:

Using Hoogland's list, expected damage on 3 into the graveyard is about 9, but the deck is half 0 cc, so you'll see a lot of kills and a lot of fizzles. The thing that's really missing for big red is that it doesn't have any kind of evasion.Quote:

Legacy Tezzerator perhaps? If you really wanna stretch it, Sword+Thopter+Counterbalance while having Chalice on one?Quote:

The other eleven probably won't pull a premium value in foil.
On the topic of pricing, whats the rationale of putting in all the value towards chandra? Imo thats just making the other cards too cheap and chandra isnt jace anyway. 4 abilities but a -3 on removal kills it. I feel like this set's good cards are on sale because chandra is overpricedQuote:

Preorders are generally people with more money than good sense. Of course they "overpayed" but in reality the bought the card plus the convenience fee of having it mailed as soon as the set comes out. Pretty sure Chandra settles in to the 30 dollar range once the initial rush dies down a bit. Modern speculation will keep it from getting any lower, I think.Quote:

No, it means the exception is that they can do masterpiece versions of cards in the same set. I.e. Verdurous Gearhulk (and probably the other 4).Quote:

Sure, BFZ was one hell of a shitty set, but unredeemable expeditions played a huge part why the EV was so crappy. MTGO prices are tied to paper prices - and paper prices can't exceed a certain threshold because otherwise, cracking packs/boxes open would be more profitable and correct the prices. If they tie a good chunk of the set's value to unredeemable cards, the rest of the sets value is going to suffer and thus, MTGO's set value. The booster prices will follow suit accordingly and tank.
...and that's the best news I've heard in ten years.Quote:
