Looks like you did just fine, Alex ;-P
Things are always a LITTLE quiet between sets - even with the snort span of time between this time around, it's not surprising.
And Everyone I've talked to is really hot or cold with Edge of Eternities - there doesn't seem to be a grey area.

I am actually more excited for the set than I anticipated. The story was REALLY good, the cards look cool, plus rumors of Strip Mine and Ancient Tomb being on the Bonus Sheet is a plus.
The thing that bums me out are the Pokémon scalpers hanging around with this set to scalp the CBs again. And then we get Spider-Man, which I'm lukewarm on, unless we see a Moon Knight card, then Avatar, which I actually DO NOT care about. But guaranteed the Pokémon scalpers will probably be around for a while, snaking the CBs for those sets as well.

Yea, not thrilled seeing CB's already spiking over $400. Blatantly ridiculous.
New players brought in from FF don't help, as they don't get that they hype from FF doesn't translate into ALL sets.
I'm 100% looking forward to Edge of Eternities, but I'll be skipping both Spider Man (Though I may snag a Venom card if they make a good one) and Avatar. Neither are really my thing.

Honestly, I think a lot of Pokémon scalpers jumping into Magic with this upcoming set are going to get burned, unlike with Final Fantasy. MTG isn’t the same kind of market. In Pokémon, you’ve got an enormous collector base that’s happy to slab anything with a shiny foil or nostalgic value. But in Magic, the bulk of the community actually plays the game, in my opinion. That means value is driven more by playability and demand within formats, not just rarity or sealed hype.

Agreed. I already couldn’t keep up with all the releases pumped out each year, but now I can’t even care. But this is exactly what WotC wanted: all the UB releases to have the super high price tags and the in-universe sets to experience the trickle effect from those releases.
282 (100%)Speaking of bullshit, SL bonus cards have reached a new low: there are seven (:rolleyes:) variants of the Chaos Emerald for the new Sonic drop. I’ll give them thematic points, but jfc lol.
252 (100%)Its ok i just bought all 14 leaders from the new shadowverse evolve set

I honestly hope they do. I'm hoping them jumping on Edge CBs only to get burned when they can't flip them for 2x what they paid sends them scurrying back to Pokémon and sports cards, but having 2 UB sets to close out the year, one with a pretty large fanbase(Spider-Man) might draw them back in again.
236 (100%)Honestly, cannot wait for Lorwyn Eclipsed, first set of next year and a return to a favorite setting of mine, if only for the Scarecrows.

Amen and hallelujah. Even the bonus sheet for EoE is pretty damned weak - nice art, but most of the lands on them are sub-$2.

Same. If I haven't decided to hiatus from magic again by then, might have to resurrect some variant of my Reaper King deck, if there's anything worth building from.

I remember collecting Reaper Kings for a while after that set because they were relatively cheap, had about 6 full front to back pages of them, then decided to cash out late 2010ish. Had three fouls, kinda regret that.
It seems the Sonic SLD is getting limited to 2 per person this time around.
As for the EOE bonus sheet, a reputable leaker that leaked a bunch of EOE cards before spoilers started has stated that they've seen Strip Mine pulled, and another, less reputable source claims Ancient Tomb is in.
As for the rest of the year, I'm still getting at least a Play Box and single Collector Booster for the 2 UB sets, but again, lukewarm on Spider-Man for the most part, and don't know anything about Avatar, so I'm just getting the boxes just to have trade material just in case something pops off.
Other than that, most of my spending money for this year is going towards video games and Christmas gifts.
236 (100%)Tomb just got spoiled for EOE bonus sheet. That's a nice one. Art isn't too terrible.
