Parallel Lives. This is like the case example for people who are cynical about master sets. You have 2 cracks at DOUBLE masters and can't include the most obvious, slam-dunk on theme chase card that DOUBLES tokens, which has no reprints, and has been hovering in the $50 range for years. And yet, we found room for another unwanted unneeded reprint of Fiery Justice. Frustrating.
Perhaps we'll get [[Anointed Procession]], but yeah, this is pathetic. Hopefully it means we'll get Double Masters 2024, but getting triple the Double Masters sounds... Wrong.
I Just bought my friend's collection from when they played magic hopin that I sell some that I don't need to recoup some of the cost. Biggest hits? Phyrexian Altar, Vedalken Orrey, Sensei's Divining Top and Parallel Lives... All but the last one reprinted in 2x2.
I am all in for reprints. But this set of reprints somehow seems just mean.
It got a lot of flack for the dragon and liege cycles. That's a lot of bulk rares that are all similar and made it feel like there was more than usual. Also, the fact the day 1 of spoilers was just fucking absurd and the rest has been more normal.
Between Hardened Scales and this, there are some really good potential reprints in the crunch. Would be nice to see [[Mirri's Guile]] which can combo with this.
This is 100% a card that in a couple years will be back to where it is now. Some cards are expensive because supply is low and others because demand is high and this is for sure the second of the two.
I don’t agree with you. This card dropped when it was reprinted in Jumpstart, and it was definitely needing it then. It stabilized and then it has been trending down ever since. I think this reprint will drop its price to around 5$ for a long ass time. But my point is that it would eventually drop to that with some time. I would rather have reprints of cards that are clearly climbing in price and are gonna keep doing it. Things like tomb, fetches, mana crypt, force of negation, tutors, etc etc are what makes this game prohibitive.
I don’t think a lot of people want this card anymore. Only for some cubes and some casual EDH. It is very rare to see it in any competitive table.
Wow I wasn’t aware of how weird the price history for Oracle was. Jump Start actually did nothing to the price. That came out around M21 and while the price fell some, all of 2020 saw it hold around $35-$40 from a previous price point of $45. It’s only been in the last year the price dropped off going from $35 in June of last year to the current $17/18. I THINK this is a result of the Jump Start printing finally actually getting out into the world after it had various product issues since I can’t see a drop in play being a big enough reason for it to lose half of its value. I’m going to agree that this printing will get it into single digits and while I don’t know how much less* commander play this is seeing (EDHRec has it at 6% which is ok but more niche) it likely won’t climb back up for a while.
I do think the printing attitude of having normal, nicer, and nicest print styles that people will absolutely crack packs for (I know people who've cracked whole boxes of CLB for a certain set of etched foils) means that the supply of standard print versions should be pretty decent and therefore drop price substantially.
With the greatest of respect to her, I want to ask her to move out of the shot so we can enjoy the background of the Borderless version as a Land card. Very vibrant and fancy looking.
I kinda wish there was an option to get the new border art with the old border. Most of the time I like the new art better, but that extended art and frame thing sets off my OCD. Same reason I don’t like foils
During the height of the pandemic in 2020, I sold a good amount of my collection to try to get some extra income to get by with the expenses. Glad to see some of these cards I let go get reprinted - now that things are a bit better, time to rebuy these cards
Still a limit on two on your turn.
Two from hand or
Two from top or
One from hand one from library.
"You may play from library" just gives you permission to do so, while you still have to follow the typical rules of playing lands
Oh this makes me so incredibly happy, I can't wait to pick one of these up after the price drop for the Titania EDH deck that I'm building.
Interesting new artwork too.
Nice!... waiting for the Parallel Lives reprint \*fingersCrossed
it's absolutely criminal that Parallel Lives has never been reprinted. (I am absolutely not counting a Judge Gift Promo as a reprint)
The judge promo dropped the TCG Market Price by more than $10. That's a decent chunk TBH
Unfortunately Oracle just crunched Parallel Lives out

Nope, too much power for Double Masters. You get HARDENED FUCKING SCALES instead.
prior to the judge printing, I still thought of Parallel lives as the "budget Doubling Season"

NO
Great reprint!
No, we're supposed to only focus on the bulk in this set so we have something to complain about!
It got a lot of flack for the dragon and liege cycles. That's a lot of bulk rares that are all similar and made it feel like there was more than usual. Also, the fact the day 1 of spoilers was just fucking absurd and the rest has been more normal.
You know what's just as bad as people complaining? The people that demand the world be happy happy joy joy and can't stand any complaints ever.

Would love to see that, card has climbed a lot recently and I’m holding off on picking one up until it gets a reprint.
Mirri’s Guile would be great! I’d like a new border print for my Sythis deck.
My [[Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire]] deck would also greatly appreciate that.

in green specifically there are a number of enchantments on that list. [[Earthcraft]] and [[Aluren]] were the ones from Tempest.

Not mad about that at all
Just picked one of these up but still happy to see it get printed, feel like it will still hold value, solid reprint

I agree. This card is too slow for EDH nowadays
kinda, you gotta be playing other additional land drops per turn cards while holding up mana to "not die" while doing it but oracle still slaps.

It goes in any green or elf commander deck, will be a great pickup when it dips

Ayyy mooly dooly, always good to see
This is a great one, of course, but I'm really hoping they reprint Exploration too.
[[Exploration]] was in original 2XM, so it would probably be [[Burgeoning]] if anything
Burgeoning already in a new secret lair.
Secret Lairs don't really affect main set reprints, though you're probably right they wouldnt want them to overlap

With the greatest of respect to her, I want to ask her to move out of the shot so we can enjoy the background of the Borderless version as a Land card. Very vibrant and fancy looking.
Okay!!!
What’s the source?
Hell yeah let’s fucking go. I want one of these for every green commander deck I have.
The borderless art. I like it.
Bonk
THIS is a good reprint
YES!!!
Ayo lands go brrrr
Just wanna Mul Daya in her arms tonight
I kinda wish there was an option to get the new border art with the old border. Most of the time I like the new art better, but that extended art and frame thing sets off my OCD. Same reason I don’t like foils
I agree, plain cards for me please.
Not into the new art but that's OK they also reprinted the old one too. Love playing Oracle. Good reprint.
Jumpstart doesn't count, so this is honestly the first real reprint this has got
The Jumpstart reprint hit the price pretty hard over time.
Now THIS is a commander card!
We haven't had this much of a wifey card since VOW Chandra.
Alright! I've been wanting this for a commander deck, but the price tag put me off buying one. Hopefully this will lower it a tiny bit.
Oh man, maybe we can finally get a foil at a reasonable price
Being 154, is Parallel Lives now crunched out?
During the height of the pandemic in 2020, I sold a good amount of my collection to try to get some extra income to get by with the expenses. Glad to see some of these cards I let go get reprinted - now that things are a bit better, time to rebuy these cards
My Nine-Fingers Keene deck would love this.
What's with this set hahah
It's so GREEN
Nice to see the iconic thighs represented in the new art, true men of culture! /s
Borderless it will be for my elf deck.
> You may play lands from the top of your library Does this mean you can play it whenever you see one? Or is it still a limit of 2 on your turn?
Still a limit on two on your turn. Two from hand or Two from top or One from hand one from library. "You may play from library" just gives you permission to do so, while you still have to follow the typical rules of playing lands
Makes sense, thanks!
Still limited by the number you can play according to any abilities you have. With just Oracle, you can play 2
For some reason I always thought she was a centaur, guess I should read the typeline
She has really small arms
Hoping to see Parallel Lives and Rhystic Study
Oh this makes me so incredibly happy, I can't wait to pick one of these up after the price drop for the Titania EDH deck that I'm building. Interesting new artwork too.
Great reprint but it still hurts to see this in a set that won't drop that price to a level that would suit the card...
There's just no pleasing you, is there.
