Derg | So here is my question to all you fine MTG players out there. With the new set how will you collect? Do you go out and buy a box? Purchase just the hot cards? Draft only? Collect a full set online and redeem? Today is release day and i'm pondering for myself the best way to go about this. In the past I have purchased and redeemed a full set online (I find most cards cheaper online to pick up). What are your plans?? |
southparker2002 | i just buy and trade and when im done with the set, im done with the set |
AGO | T take the cards from the prerelease and drafting and trade them for Legacy. Then sit and wait. Once prices drop I just buy the standard that I want. |
Zeckk | Bought a few cards as playsets when they were worth it (bonfire at 4 ea, Ulvenwald Tracker and Zealous COnscripts at 1 ea), bought a box for trade fodder. Drafting should be fun, though it's gonna be harder than most sets to value draft, since the set lacks anything resembling powerful uncommons or limited-unplayable money card like mox pearl (notable exceptions - Avacyn and Griselbrand).

keywacat | Normally I select the cards I want from the visual spoiler and buy those singles, though I loved Innistrad enough to purchase the whole set, only in foil. Thought I might do the same for Dark Ascension and Avacyn Restored but those sets as a whole do not quite come together for me. Maybe I should look at AVR as a complete stand-alone set, only barely related to Innistrad. |

QFT, or in other words, just sell for cash and use them for eternal format stuff. __________________ If MTG is a metaphor in our lives, it will be Yawgmoth's Bargain. Coup de grâce ! 我爱上你,但是我必须假装不爱你.

Derg | Anyone try the MTGO route? I find buying about $100 of tix and buying the uncommons/commens in bulk with junk rares is a great fast way to get a set to redeem. |
simbayu | Buy the bulk common/uncommons that look playable then wait a while till prices stabalize and get individual cards I want for decks. In the meantime, trade away everything I get from prereleases. |
Mr.C | Draft. |
Bagbokk | I have 3 boxes incoming. I don't really care about the cards. Not gonna play Standard anyway. I'll draft some stuff. |
Volcanon | Draft, pick up singles for cheap later for casual formats. |
keywacat | Started writing down the cards I wanted for the art and the ones for decks, until I realized I want over 2/3 of the set for the art and about 40 cards for decks (not including multiple copies of a few). So I will be saving up for a foil set. |
wayne | Just do a lot of drafting, I believe the set is drafted 3x AVR so it should not be too hard to get a set. |
