How much would it cost to get started with Magic: The Gathering? One of the big appeals of Standard is that the most powerful old cards don't push out the new ones like they do in Legacy. Also, while you're getting new cards every year, you're also getting to play different decks every year. Having more than one Legacy/Vintage deck tends to be either expensive or time-consuming. The diversity of Standard does vary significantly season by season, though. |

How much would it cost to get started with Magic: The Gathering? My understanding is that it's pretty hard to cash out MTGO sets unless you are a dealer. Is that not true? |

Does Thrumming Stone ripple after ripple @SocioMatt Relentless Rats allow you to play a number of Johnny cards that otherwise wouldn't work in EDH, like Bloodbond March, Thrumming Stone, and Doubling Chant. Even the most combo-tastic Relentless Rats decks don't go off super-fast and are easy to interact with using commonly-used EDH cards (like sweepers). That's entirely within the "spirit" of the format. |

Can I extort Launch Party with the creature I'm sacrificing? ... Do you mean Launch Party instead of Slaughter Games? |

How should I determine how many lands of each different color to put in my deck? I don't think there's a very strong basis for the generalization that you're making. Sealed and draft pools can easily be very skewed, especially in sets where certain archetypes have very strong color associations. Think about infect in SOM block Limited. I think there's really no reason to assume that red card #11 is going to be better than green card #15 consistently enough to make "don't skew your colors" a rule. |

How should I determine how many lands of each different color to put in my deck? "You're unlikely to have a situation of 18 playables in one color and 5 in another color." It's about more than playables, though. Which cards work together? If I open 16 cards that are good for a weenie aggro strategy in white, why shouldn't I play all of them? Now instead of just looking for "playables" in my other colors I'm prioritizing based on access to aggression and removal. |
