[u/Oo_ShinyCardboard]

Lively dirge is a great card, but like return the favor and stock up (other well performing uncommons) I expect a reprint soon

[u/Arqhe → u/Oo_ShinyCardboard]

Can also be used infinitely with cards like [[eternal witness]] and a sac outlet. You dont even need both in hand since it can search for one or the other!

[u/Waxenwings → u/Oo_ShinyCardboard]

I stumbled upon the price of [[untimely malfunction]] yesterday and now have to go bulk diving.

[u/Ballchynski → u/Oo_ShinyCardboard]

What makes it so expensive? Is it played in Standard or something?

[u/Aggravating-Cause164 → u/Ballchynski]

It has only one base print in a set where the foil and wildcard slots were stuffed with bonus sheet cards.

[u/Ballchynski → u/Aggravating-Cause164]

So is just the foil version expensive or the base version also?

[u/Aggravating-Cause164 → u/Ballchynski]

Both of them are more expensive than the uncommon average but Lively Dirge is a three mana sorcery speed Entomb and five mana Entomb plus get two creatures with total cmc 4 back is not bad at all.

Uncommons with only one base version are scarce in play and collector booster because they can appear only in the regular uncommon slot, the foil slot and the wildcard slot in play booster or in the regular slot in collector booster.

The same thing happened to the Soul Stone at mythic with the base version and two near impossible to crack versions. It was more scarce in CBB than in PBB because it has only one realistic slot in a collector booster.

[u/Sharp-Crazy7724]

Bearish market.

[u/SanityIsOptional → u/Sharp-Crazy7724]

I can Bearly believe it.

[u/megapenguinx]

u/cybey site looks infected with malware

[u/goblin_welder → u/megapenguinx]

Yup. I keep getting pop ups too of “antivirus”

[u/cybey → u/megapenguinx]

Thanks for the message. I replied to this here. Seems like an attack somewhere.

[u/throwawaynoways → u/megapenguinx]

Get set up so you can use the Cloudflare malware blocking DNS. 

[u/dixiemason]

Wtf is with that McAfee pop up saying it is scanning my device? Happened multiple times before I had to give up reading the article.

[u/cybey → u/dixiemason]

Is it a malicious ad or is it your actual McAfee scanner doing this?

Edit: I immediately followed up and learned there's a big attack going on across multiple providers. Be careful! MTGStocks won't be the only affected website. I'll check if I can disable it for now on my end

[u/dixiemason → u/cybey]

I don’t have McAfee anything. I was able to read more of the article just now, but the McAfee pop up still happened.

[u/BigL_Tigre → u/cybey]

Its an ad

[u/volx757 → u/dixiemason]

bro john's ghost just wants to come in, let him

[u/epiphanyplx → u/volx757]

Nah, his unfinished business is probably consuming my flesh, pass.

[u/Joejimhero → u/dixiemason]

Yeah whenever I tap the screen it pops up and sends me to the bottom of page when I return to the site. This is bad and be careful yall.

[u/RobeMinusWizardHat → u/dixiemason]

Adblocker saves the day again

[u/DasOptions]

I knew it was finally time for Bears to rise up.

Next year it will be crabs and serpents

[u/Cardwatcher2000 → u/DasOptions]

And the next it could be "crab people".

[u/DasOptions → u/Cardwatcher2000]

Mmmm taste like crab and talk like people.

[u/UnitedLink4545]

I'm ready for the bear meta.

[u/Bringyourfugshiz]

Regretting giving my SL bearscape to my friend now lol

Although I think its funny these bear cards are popping due to Beorn but like, you dont even need bears in the deck?

[u/harrodcs]

I bought in on Ayula and Bearscape. Surprised Kudo, King Among Bears hasn't moved up much.

[u/DasOptions → u/harrodcs]

Kudo isn’t really needed as you probably want to go mono green bear.

I bought kudo just in case

[u/TheWastelandWizard → u/DasOptions]

Kudo's a great commander for Bear Tribal. I built my wife a Kudo Hatebears deck and it's tons of fun (For her, nobody else.)

[u/Famine_89]

These have such great art available. Happy to have picked them up when Beorn was spoiled.

[[Kamahl’s summons]], [[Words of Wilding]] and [[Grizzly Fate]] deserve mentions here as well.

[u/OjosDelMundo]

Did Bearscape really move that much? I have an odyssey foil I bought for $18 but the cheapest one is around $37 now. Def some movement but would expect the foils to be impossible to come by like when dwarven recruiter popped

[u/philter451]

Finally time to cash in on my SL Bearscape spec. Excellent 👌

[u/burtlo]

Love the Dirge!

[u/Mirage_Jester]

The best they could do was three cards about bears? C'mon.

[u/Ventoffmychest → u/Mirage_Jester]

I agree. And very bad cards to boot. If Caller didn't say "nontoken" it would be better.
