March 2025 Discussion Thread

Things of note heading into the month ahead:

• Tarkir: Dragonstorm previews should be picking up soon, but I can’t help but feel like what I thought would be mega dragon hype is getting overshadowed by hype for Final Fantasy and Spiderman pre-orders that are still months away. Is MTG all about the UB now? I mean admittedly that is a big ole’ cactus. 
• Speaking of pre-orders. There’s been mixed reviews on whether or not it’s helpful to see those shared as individual posts. Would the community rather see these corralled to a MegaThread for each set?
• Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like we’re actually starting to see some really strong discounts recently. Between the shocking MH3 draft boxes for $70, the $10 MOM EDH decks at TCG stadium, to the steep discounts on commander deck sets that are finally seeing big reprints, deals have really been flowing this past month. Is this supply finally catching up with demand or are stores trying to clear product for the upcoming wave of anticipated releases? Thoughts on the potential trends in the market would be appreciated. 
• Deal of the Month goes to the u/ForgeAndFireGaming for their Spring Cleaning 2-Parter. They’ve been absolute All-Stars of the sub in recent years! That said, they’ve also managed to  drum up controversy recently in the Pokemon community. Overblown nonsense or signs that things are starting to come off the rails? 

Otherwise thanks for all your contributions to the sub! Keep those deal posts coming.
