It's been so long since I have played.Pretty much all of them, tiering them is less about which ones are good versus bad and more about how much you can abuse the crap out of them. Abandon Dancer, for instance, is super OP and can solo basically the entire game with no issues, but Dancer is still somewhat low tier in that there are just so many overpowered things that you can be doing to the point that just "killing all of the map with no chance at losing at the same time" isn't particularly spicy. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

Hence why there is always a scramble to try and define the genre but any attempt beyond "is hard" fails on all levels.

The fact that it shares the same name as a generic class is what the problem was.I mean, I agree with that. However, the fact that he was a squire is also true, and the fact that he never actually was knighted yet was constantly up against actual knights was relevant to the plot. So whether or not he's given a new, special job class title isn't the issue... only that they specifically are calling him a knight. This is especially egregious if this is his job from the get-go as it's pretty narratively relevant that everyone at the beginning is still a squire, so having him suddenly be a knight surrounded by squires is just a bit silly. I'm also specifically referring to generic characters and not the generic job. Alicia and Lavian may not have their own sprites and whatnot, but they are not generic knights as far as what I'm talking about: they are knights tasked with protecting Ovelia. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

| ellis123 09/26/25 8:04:45 PM #38 | WingsOfGood posted... it worked for the commander decksThat had nothing to do with them printing more than expected. That had a lot more to do with scalpers not really getting that Commander decks historically get three runs, and so when the second and third run happened they kind of just had to give up. The extreme price early on was certainly higher than normal (no thanks to Wizards increasing the base cost), but historically Commander decks never go above MSRP outside of the initial rush beyond the "big winner" commander deck(s) (an example of this would be the FFVII one still being above MSRP due to coming with Clever Concealment, Tifa, and Skullclamp + Lightning Greaves). This is made all the more evident when you consider that the FFVI one was the most expensive pre-launch due to scalpers, but once it came time for the normal MtG cycle to happen it ended up being the one that you can consistently find as the only card that really matters for people who don't have an particular desire to collect the cards is Reanimate: a reprint. By comparison Cloud (as I used as the example) is a card that holds a lot of value right now due to just how playable it is + it being a popular character. Unlike the Commander decks it isn't an overall product but instead an individual card, which means that its price will actually fluctuate a bit differently based on speculation + play rather than strictly because of just printing. And if this is a form of guaranteed promo for the bundle it really won't take a whole lot for the price of the default Cloud to get hit as its value is based on playability + rarity, and even the most minor printings in this nature ends up massively reducing the price. Scavenging Ooze is a great example of this as it was $40 prior to getting a promo printing, but with the promo printing it basically died price-wise and hit <$1. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

| ellis123 09/26/25 7:45:08 PM #35 | Considering the popularity of the set it's pretty dubious for price of the set to go down meaningfully as an average. All these will do is reduce the price of a couple of the cards involved that have gotten low play + a number of printings (Cloud, Midgar Mercenary comes across as one as a guaranteed promo generally hits the normal card price in situations like this). --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?
