Ehhh? I am not exactly sure that the Dimir Fairy deck was powerful because of the Tribal cards, I am fairly certain the spell half of that deck carried it.

To be fair at the time, a bunch of the spells were also tribal.

The version I am seeing isn't running trickery.

Edit: So it sounds like the one of one One Ring was pulled and graded by PSA. Stores are already reporting people are canceling pre-orders and and the set will probably tank in value. Sucks that the one set that shops might make money on in the near future has now collapsed.
Edit 2: Sounds like there are conspiracy theories brewing that something shady happened as BGS was offering massive perks for being able to grade the card, including a unique case written in Black Speech, so it's weird that it went to PSA who offered nothing beyond maybe a free grade.

Spellstutter and Mistbind were very strong tools. Merfolk also got a lot of tools that later translated to Legacy and Vintage.

Forgot to say anything yesterday, but it looks like the one ring has been found, and was sent to PSA for grading. They gave it a PSA 9. Looks like it was in knuck land. sewious bids of only 1 Mil+ pwease. Rudy panic videos on plummeting collector booster prices imminent.

Collector's Booster boxes are already down $100 on Amazon. It'll be interesting to watch the panic rush to dump boxes and off-load singles of Black Aragorn.
If the ring was pulled and sent for PSA grading, I'm guessing it wasn't a casual player who pulled it.

According to the article I linked, the finder was a relative of a regular at the LGS that it was found at. Since they’ve (intelligently) decided to remain anonymous, we won’t know until it changes hands if they’re a casual or not. Either way, I’m surprised that it was found as quickly as it was.

I had a friend say something similar, and I think you both underestimate how ingrained this grading collectables bullshit is in nerd culture at this point. It's more likely to be a serious pack cracker (because they crack more packs) but any rando is likely to either know about grading already or immediately find out when they google to try to price what they just pulled.

Looks like prices continue to collapse:
I don't get why anyone bothers owning a card store anymore, at least not one focused on Magic. It's not even the collapse in price, but also all of the people who will be pissed if they bought high at you.

Just dropped in to say the Doom of Illuvatar is cast upon this abomination of a "game".
You held out the industrial product of pure evil as the final source of avarice, and in greed like covetous orcs you groveled before the throne of Melkor, in the vain glorious hope you could come into possession of the atavistic symbol of defiance against the will of God.
Cursed are you. Cursed before men and elves. The Doom of the creator now laid upon you. For your avarice, greed and malice. Let this crowning achievement, this mockery of creation and "value" be not your triumphal March but your funeral dirge. For the light of creation has forsaken your corruption in the face of God's wrath.
May the the very earth rise against your walls and the waters consume your home, Wizards of the Coast.
May this prayer echo from the the highest eyries of the eagles, to the very depths of halls of Mandos. This doom I now proclaim. You destroyers who call yourselves creators. Your gold is ash and the product of your thought smoke. So it shall be as Illuvatar wills and both will slip through your grasping hands, beyond your ability to seize.
Know then at that moment that there is only One God in Arda, and he is Illuvatar. And he suffers not the mockery of his creation.

Normally I find copypasta a bit overplayed as far as humor goes but this was top quality. Pinging @Mola Ram because he's going to love it too.
I'm definitely saving it for meming.

OKay
Not copy pasta actually, its very heartfelt. I wrote that myself and I meant every word.
the fundamental misunderstanding of Tolkien's work in modern pop culture is that it is a religious myth to people, especially people of English and Celtic ethnicity, like myself. It is way more sacred to us then to the cretins in control of its care will ever acknowledge. When I say Iluvatar is God, I don't mean this metaphorically. I mean this quite literally. Iluvatar is God. My god in fact. I don't mean this in the sense that I view Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion religious canon. Its not. But I do view it as religious mythology. Which makes its sacred in its own way. Because Iluvatar and GOD are not separate entities. They are one. And the same. When Tolkien talks about Illuvatar in his writings, he is not talking about some made up being for his story. He is talking about something he believes is REAL, and is REAL in his story. Something I also believe is real.
Which is why the "Rings of Power" show triggered me so hard. But probably not as hard as Blackagorn and making the literal incarnation of evil the most coveted card in this abortion of a "collectible set". Had the creators of this heresy actually cared about the source material, the 01/01 card would not have been the "One Ring", it would have been Eru, and instead of using the black speech they would have used the high Sindarin.
"In the beginning, there was the one. Eru. Who in Arda was called Iluvatar. And he existed before aught else was made".
But no. Lets sell a 2 million dollar card using tolkiens work using the literal works of Satan. That will show the chuds. I hope the person who found that card lives a cursed life and dies horribly. They probably will. I hope the artist who made that card lives a cursed life and dies horribly. I hope both avoid these fates by repenting before god. But they won't. Because they know not what they have done.
Not copy pasta. I mean it all. Fucking burn in hell. In this life, and the life hereafter.
