Timely reprint of Berserk is a Welcome Addition

Looks like they reprinted Berserk the Magic the Gathering card in the latest Conspiracy 2 set and it's sitting around $10 on the online market. This is great news as this highly sought after card used to be around $40 per copy and way out of the range of the average player. Now you can beef up green decks with this prized card. It's nice to find a niche that has been reprinted for the benefit of the Magic the Gathering community, namely my Mom and I.

There is a sweet combo deck that I was just reading about that uses Infect or Myr Superion along with Berserk and Assault Strobe to win turn 2. They were saying that countermagic and possible removal and blockers could easily stand in the way of the deck, but it's a fun idea for dining table magic. I think if I construct the deck I'll let Mom play it and I'll try to find ways around it. I said I wasn't going to build anything faster than the Gond combination and Dragon combination, but with the price of Berserk coming down it looks like a real possibility. I wonder if I could cook part of the combo into the current Gond Mom deck. With the current rates of cards it would probably go for less than a C-note for a possible turn 2 win, definitely worth looking into.

This is definitely encouraging, many reprints of good old fashioned cards and many newer cards with lots of versatility. It just makes Magic the Gathering a fun game to keep up with. Now I just have to get my forum account back and maybe learn the new search on cards. It reminds me of the days when Duelist magazine was still in publication and you could learn about new cards and broken strategies in there.

This is a good way to keep the cost of Magic the Gathering down. Simply reprint the cards that make sense, and keep a flow of new-old cards coming on the market. It's kind of like printing old ball players on modern stock for the baseball card market bringing interest to the sets. If you work the market, the market works for you...but you have to do it if you want results.
