Not too excited about M10. Seems underwhelming and another core set I probably won’t buy too many cards from. I enjoy more esoteric cards and “flavor” than the standard fantasy flavor available in M10.
I like the soldier “sliverish” cards though. Maybe my 30 copies of Benalish Commander won’t go to waste. ;)
Explanation:
Before I took a break from MTGO I bought tons of Faerie, Soldier, and Merfolk rares in anticipation of the prices getting a boost from the tribal theme in Lorwyn block. I think I bought around 60 Lord of Atlantis for .25 tix a piece and sold at 2-3. Worse part of that deal was that I now have 60 Benalish Commanders and Sprite Noble rares sitting around in my collection collecting dust.
M10 and Me…

I agree that M10 wasn’t the best most exciting core set I have ever seen, but it wasn’t the worst either. I think they made a couple of cards a little more accessible for the average player like Lightning bolt as a common and Savannah Lions, I mean Elite Vanguard as an uncommon. All in all it wasn’t bad.
Agreed. M10 wasn’t as bad as say…5th or 6th Edition. Not bad, considering you’d have to go back what – 8 years. Ok, 7th wasn’t that great either. But who’s counting.
I actually just started a blog about mtg for the fact that i need help with my faerie deck!! but that’s cool that you have all of those, I wish I would have started playing back when lorwyn came out, I love that block.
