Title: True name
Post by: Rass on November 24, 2013, 01:05:53 PM
Do you think  {True-Name Nemesis} is that slime from commander 2012 so he will be reprinted in 2015 core set.

I personally don't think he'll repeat. But that's just my speculation. Would suck since i've bought so many Mind Sieze that it's ridiculous.

Unlike {Scavenging Ooze}, {True-Name Nemesis} is only designed for 1 format - Commander. His far too overpowered for any other format, and his Protection from Player ability doesn't make sense in other formats either. He's not OP in Commander, where 2 other players can deal with it.

Isn't true name a legacy card? Isn't that why he is so valuable?

yep. Which is why I know it's so overpowered. It's replaced {Geist of Saint Traft} wholesale in the Legacy community.

Yeah except they balanced it out when they also printed {Toxic Deluge}. Deluge kills nemesis every time.

There are a million ways to kill him. You can {Black Sun's Zenith} for 1, cycle {Decree of Pain} which is uncounterable. True-Name is pushed and turbo charged. I added 2 to my Merfolk deck, they're insane.

Also, I'm not aware of any other Protection from Player cards.

Yeah, I know. I'm just saying that they provided answers for everything in the c13 lists, basically.

Nemesis is also a beautiful sword carrier for Stoneblade.

{Progenitus} is the only other one.

I don't think True-name will be printed in a standard-legal set, he'd be pretty nuts in modern, as he currently is in legacy.

Of the new cards, I can only see Toxic Deluge getting printed. Maybe. That card is still crazy powerful.

He could be reprinted in vintage masters.  For mtgo.

Commander sets are available online for MSRP all year long. You can still get the Commander decks from 2 years ago.

Yeah. On MTGO. You can buy them from the Store for $29.99 until the next set comes out. {True-Name Nemesis} will always be worth at least $29.99 on MAGIC ONLINE for the foreseeable future.

Better yet. On MTGO you can still get
- Commander I ($29.99)
- Venser vs. Koth ($19.99)
- Planechase ($19.99)
- Planechase 2012 ($19.99)
- Izzet vs. Golgari ($19.99)
- Sorin vs. Tibalt ($19.99)
- Heroes vs. Monsters ($19.99)
- Commander 2013 ($29.99)*
- From the Vault 20 ($39.99)**

* Not available yet. Online product generally follows 3-5 weeks after paper, as a compromise with Brick and Mortar stores.
** Available for a limited time. All "From the Vault" products are available in any quantity for MSRP for as long as it's available (usually about 2 months).

Also, {Deathrite Shaman} sells for about $4.87 on MTGOTraders.com, playing online is much cheaper then playing paper...just saying.
