Magic The Gathering

Today's MTG secondary market is absolutely stupid, especially Modern scene where some douches basically buy out certain cards that are hyped up off the market, creating artificial price hikes.

Hasbro doesn't help about this either. They just c&d'ed Cockatrice recently in hope to add more real players i.e. add more single card demands.

The new you-make-a-card contest is going on, and it is in the process of choosing the card type. It is down to enchantment or land.

I have a soft spot for enchantment, but with EDH blooming land should be the best pick.

Don't wish another Crucible of World is coming though.

Modern Master will screw the system up like crazy. (I will try to get my hands on though......)

I actually like the modern concept, since I can no longer afford the legacy duals, problem is certain cards are already becoming like legacy prices due to modern demand, ie Thoughtsize, confidant, vendillion clique and co.

Good thing I played alot during that time and have those and hopefully a modern masters reprint will stimy the increase.

I also hate price gougers and speculators who buy all the stuff up in hopes of manipulating the market, one reason I hate Starcity games since they are the number one price gougers of stuff.

There supposedly are some asshole third-parties doing it right now.
