I don’t get it.  Sometimes I play Magic the Gathering tournaments around the Twin Cities when time and money permit, and every time (never fails), there always seems to be that one ego-maniacal Magic player that dumps all their pent up testosterone into the evening.  Sometimes there’s even a small group of these people, spitting vinegar and tossing patronizing slurs at some poor sixteen year-old kid who just learned when to actually cast a Lightning Bolt.  I’ve never understood it – Magic the Gathering just isn’t American football.

Yet I suppose every strapping young lad must exert their internal frustrations somewhere, so why not at Friday Night Magic?  That said, it takes a lot of audacity to publicly state that a whole category of Magic players sucks, right? icon wink Do Legacy Magic Players Suck?

It all began with the revealing of Sun Titan, and then gained momentum with with the Primeval one .  The excitement surrounding  Magic 2011′s Titan Cycle within my Magic playgroup has been zealous to say the least.  As each one of us have acquired another here and another there they’ve been appearing on the tabletop with increased frequency.  But speculation seems to be taking over the sale and distribution of these gigantic earthcrushers online.  Have you noticed?

As a gauge for estimating the potential rise and fall of online card prices I often use the blackborder.com price guide.  It’s not perfect, but the folks who manage the site keep pretty sharp on the winds of change occurring in the Magic card market.  (Shameless plug – they also offer great customer service.)  Here are the current prices on blackborder.com for the five titans from M2011.
