I’ve only known two sorts of functional communes: religious and one agricultural one. Mind sharing details? I’m curious about what your commune is like (all communes really). I’m not quite sure if anonymity is even that important, but I want to maximize participation. It’s data I would love to have, but with such a small population it seems like there’s no way to avoid it being identifying. I’m also unsure about whether I want to include demographic info. Thoughts on best approaches for question phrasing, and general pitfalls to watch for? ranking communal values (economic egalitarianism, environmentalism, social justice, et c.) against each other. I was also thinking of having a rank-these-items bit, e.g. How should I organize/phrase the questions? I’m leaning toward things of the form “Agree or disagree: Generally speaking, our labor tracking system is good for the community.” Others have suggested more gradations, such as a 1-5 scale. Our community is classist/racist/sexist? Yes or no? I’m interested in things roughly like:Įxpanding our biggest business? Yay or boo?
I live on a commune of ~75 people, and I want to “get the pulse” on a number of hot button issues. You’ll generally have expensive cards show up a few years after a set goes out of print, when a particular card turns out to have legs in an older format like Modern or Legacy and demand goes up, but there isn’t the supply to match. The times you see a card spike when currently in print, it’s usually because the rest of the set isn’t that in-demand, so that one card drives the value of packs. If the average value of the cards in a pack is higher than the wholesale cost of a pack, the stores that sell singles will buy boxes and undercut their competitors, driving the costs down. Core Set 2020 is still in print, which caps the cost of what cards in the set can be worth. Note that this is as much a function of scarcity as power. Price lists bear that out: the most expensive card in the current expansion, Core Set 2020, costs less than $20. The only format you can play a Black Lotus in is Vintage, and most if not all Vintage decks will contain large amounts of cards with the post-2005 new card frames. Note that they still do release cards strong enough to compete with Unlimited-era stuff. So now you’ll occasionally get something that’s unexpectedly powerful, but it won’t be that far above the format baseline, whereas in the Unlimited days there just wouldn’t be anything on that level. Yeah, the big thing is that the variance of the cards went down, because Wizards made consistent costing rules and largely followed them. Or compare Wrath of God to Cleansing Nova: Nova is much more versatile, but going from 4 to 5 can matter a lot when you’re trying to keep an aggro deck from beating your face impression is that there are fewer really overwhelmingly powerful cards around these days. But Putrefy hits black and artifact creatures, and can also hit artifacts. Compare Terror to Putrefy: if all you wanted to do was kill a creature, Terror is stronger because it’s much cheaper. Removal has been changed as well: it’s generally more expensive but also more broad. Confirming what others have said: the big thing is that creatures are far more powerful across all mana costs, and certain interactions such as counterspells have been powered down.
