Comments on: Insider: Virtually Infinite on MTGO – Slowing the Bleed https://www.quietspeculation.com/2014/04/insider-virtually-infinite-slowing-the-bleed/ Play More, Win More, Pay Less Tue, 18 Jan 2022 02:37:23 +0000 hourly 1 By: Sebastian Nuñez https://www.quietspeculation.com/2014/04/insider-virtually-infinite-slowing-the-bleed/#comment-148969 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 03:05:53 +0000 http://www.quietspeculation.com/?p=45971#comment-148969 Hey, great articule, though I did not quite understand this:

Because relatively few people play Constructed online, there is not adequate supply to soak up the thousands of boosters that flood the market each day. Redeemers do their part to pull excess cards out of the market, but even they cannot counteract the overflow from drafting.

In paper Magic, boosters cost about 30% less (when bought in bulk) and the median single price is about 30% more.

1) How is supply suppose to soak up something? I thought you meant demand, but if its indeed suppy, suply from whom?

2) Why are boosters more expensive IRL? Are bits more expensive than paper?

Prior to reading this article I thought my slightly less than 50% win percentage was truly God awful. I never pretended to go infinite or even be a good drafter but it is what I enjoy most in Magic. I am happy to hear that even the top players in the world are only winning 1 or 2 matches more than me out of 10 played. I can live with that.

lots of great points and the entire ev calculator is truly eye opening. this year I started tracking all my trades and all my mtgo wins losses so I was quickly able to put in my win%

Guess I’m going back to grinding constructed.

also great incite on the gp’s I’ve had 12 points before and wasn’t sure if those promos where worth grinding out for the points.

also I do enjoy brewing casual decks online is there any indication that there will be more constructed later on? and if so should we hold on to more constructed staples?
