Fresh set of spoilers for the up and coming Fate Reforged set... thank god I run three Elspeth to deal with this monster!!

I like that they're bringing back the Delve mechanic. Mr. Soulflayer here seems like a really fun card, but not something that's going to dominate games like crazy. It will generally be inconsistent since you don't generally get to control what gets in the graveyard.

Paired with the right sacrifice cards and it could get interesting.

At my LGS I talked with a guy who sold his P9 for so much that he could almost buy a small apartment. That really made me question how much we value these cardboard cards (on the subject; spent too much on Magic this month, I'm basically living on noodles and cheap coffee)

That's just it - we are the ones who ascribe value to the cards. If the entire magic community dissolved, a Black Lotus would be nothing more than a firestarter. Same thing with any item - a bar of gold is just a chunk of metal, but someone would be willing to trade a whole lot of goods-and-services for it, so it's valuable.

Did anyone attend a Fate Reforged Prerelease? I went to one with my brother and one of our friends, and it was a blast. I ran Jeskai, and ended 2-1-1 (the draw was only because we ran out of time. That third match could have gone any way). I got a few awesome cards from it (most notably Soulfire Grand Master, Shaman of the Great Hunt, the new Sultai Khan, and the Black Red Legendary Dragon), and picked up the Blue/Red intro pack.

This was my 3rd prerelease, and they've been fantastic each time. I'm thinking about starting to do standard at FNM, since I can make a (hopefully) pretty awesome Jeskai deck with my new cards and a Monastery Mentor my brother's letting me use.

Just had a really good draft where I went 3 and 1 with temur mid range. Fate reforged was super fun to draft with a single pack of Khans. Well done wizards of the coast.
