ANZ super series modern qualifier thread!

taking hammer time into a post fury and beans ban meta is potentially quite good for me, gonna be listing my games and results here

first update:

round 1: bye

round 2: 2-0 vs prison, pretty simple matchup, game one was a turn 2 hammer equip into a scoop, game two dragged out a little longer with a nine lives but I was able to just pressure with saga constructs and esper sentinels and got the counters onto the nine lives

Say what you want about Kim Jong Un, but I think his biggest crime in playing mono black coffers in modern

i know i already posted screenshots of this thread but im going back and reading through all the comments and just. jesus fucking christ. i know calling people "cucked" when they haven't literally been cuckolded is shaky territory but what else am i supposed to call this attitude

like the way these people have convinced themselves that this is sane and healthy and not obviously ridiculous to anyone who has played a card game before is so...

BONUS: YGO equivalent of "i played my pro melee friend with items enabled on Jungle Japes and won by getting Snorlax out of a pokeball so clearly competitive melee is fake":

What rules about this is that by the start of BFZ block, the continents of Bala Ged and Sejiri had already been destroyed. Emrakul left, and Ulamog razed Bala Ged, which implied Kozilek razed the polar lands of Sejiri. Yes, this is a lore-compliant card.

Reserved List

There are over 500 Magic the Gathering cards on the reserved list. This list is a promise to never reprint these cards in paper which means, that for these cards, the copies that exist are the only copies that will ever exist. The reserved list only comprises of sets from before the year 2000 so most reserve list cards are 25 years old minimum. You would think that the cards on the reserve list would all be astronomically high but very few are over a dollar. Many feel that the reserved list will eventually be rescinded but the failure of the 30th anniversary edition cards makes this seem unlikely especially in the modern era. It seems like a lot of money is in newer Magic cards especially with the advent of serialized Magic cards. Now may be the time to move in to bulk Magic the Gathering reserved list cards. Every year the number of reserve list cards in circulation dwindle. Cards get lost or destroyed or they enter vaults never to see circulation ever again due to investors and speculators. At the moment, old school Magic seems to be at an all time low so this might be time to move in to reserve list cards. I recently purchased a couple hundred reserved list cards in various conditions and over the next couple of weeks I will post them online and explain the logic behind my purchase. Am I simply wasting money buying bulk that will never rise above a buck? Am I a fool for diversifying my purchases instead of focusing on one specific reserved list card and attempting to buy it out? Only time will tell. However, I really do have a love and a passion for the cards and it makes me feel a part of the community to have a piece of magic history in my hands. It is an interesting feeling to own something where there are only a certain number of copies on earth. Isn't this the appeal of serial numbered cards? Are serialized cards just a modern day reserved list for a new era? After all, most of the cards on the reserved list are cheap for a reason. They are simply unplayable in the modern magic the gathering era in almost all formats. Most serialized cards are chosen because they see play and are highly sought after cards. Any cards seeing a lot of play on the reserved list are already astronomically expensive so what is the point? Well, no one can see the future and some cards that were completely unplayable just need the right card printed to become all stars. The only question is which cards will reach that echelon. Yes, I have some opinions on which cards are more likely to see possible play in the future but you never know. That is why I want to diversify my assets. Should a reserve list card below one dollar spike card I will likely have many copies of it in my collection. Should all cards on the reserve list eventually spike as people realize that once all copies are gone they are gone and the cards aren't getting any younger then I will have simply made a profit. Even now, I do think there are cards on the reserve list that are criminally undervalued. I also believe that one day a card will spike on the reserve list that no one will predict. I am going to show the reserve list cards I bought this month although I have been buying reserved list cards for years.

I wasn’t made aware of this until listening to this week’s TapTapConcede podcast

What an… odd echo of an older card.
