Noob's luck

[lotrwk]

I just got my friend into magic, and he decides to buy a deckbuilder's toolkit. In the four packs he pulls {Overgrown tomb} {Watery grave} {Archangel of thune} and a {Sublime Arch angel}. I then buy a booster pack of DGM. {Scion of Vitu-Ghazi}. He then buys a pack of DGM. {Ruric thar, the unbowed} and a foil {Ral Zarek}! So angry!

[gtfotis]

Is he willing to trade that thune?

[Mlerner12]

I feel you. I got a RtR pack for my noob friend and I. I got {palisade Giant}. He pulls Trostani and FOIL {Steam Vents}. I was ready to punch him.

Some people have luck, I don't sadly but I usually do pretty well in trades. I guess thats the trade-off, heh.

[lotrwk]

He didnt see the value in the shocks. I tried explaining, and not be a bad friend. Even after my explanation, he still wanted to trade them both for my {Firemane avenger}. Explained to him how bad of a deal was in his part, he said he also wanted {Ajani's chosen}. Warned him again. He insisted.

Idk what's up with my luck, I pull weird foil uncommons and I'm just like: "really? Oh we'll, at least it's shiny." My most expensive card is worth like six dollars. ._.

Well, shock lands are pretty bad... They deal 2 damage to you and like... Life is rly important in magic.

Not sure if trolling or doesn't understand how to play the game....

Ugh dont get me started on shocklands, since rtr's release iva had friends go on about how much guildgates are better than shocklands, and how they would rather be a turn late then 2 life less, it really gets under my skin sometimes

I recently got my father back into Magic after an 8 year hiatus and he buys 2 packs gets a foil {Galerider Sliver} and a {Fiendslayer Paladin}. Not amazing but tripled his money!

As someone who runs 12 fetchlands and nearly all the shocks in one modern deck... I don't mind taking 3 damage to cast my deathrite on turn 1
But generally I feel new players overvalue their life.
