Got quite a few foils coming my way, but I still have a lot more on my wishlist.

Bump/Flavor Text of the Day:

Blood of the Martyr (W)(W)(W)

Instant
Until end of turn, if damage would be dealt to any creature, you may have that damage dealt to you instead.

The willow knows what the storm does not: that the power to endure harm outlives the power to inflict it.

Ha ha, I think you may have forgotten a word. Do you have any foils?

From m14 I am looking for foil:

indestructibility
spell blast
rod of ruin
solemn offering
barrage of expendables
lightning talons

Sent you an offer.

If you are just trying to get stuff that you need, then just buy the stuff that you need. Then if you decide to try a different deck you will be able to break you first deck up and piece it out to get what you need. I too have a similar issue with a dwindling tradelist, because almost every card I trade for goes into a deck. This leaves very little room for picking up "trade fodder".

You can also scout ebay auctions for staples going for less than they should. Definitely more efficient than buying boxes if you can snag any good deals.

Definitely interested in the Storm Crow, the club toad, and the pointy finger of doom.

If you guys want to start up a trade/look at my lists feel free.

That's is probably because trading standard stuff for eternal stuff loses you a ton of value and everyone knows it. If you trade a $20 Fetchland for a  $20 Sphinx's Revelation you just got hosed.

I think if you are trying to pick up eternal stuff, ESPECIALLY lands, you should be offering almost double the value in standard stuff. No one likes to get burned, but by offering above and beyond the current price, both parties feel much better. You are happy because you managed to solidify $40 of extremely volatile and sinking cards into $20 of very stable and rising cards. However your trading partner is happy because he basically got twice as much as he "deserved" and he is planning on playing with those cards.

Another way to do it is to going by a sites buy price/ebay prices. If you would have to sell two sphinx's revelations in order to buy a fetchland, then that is what you should be offering in trade (probably a bit less than this because otherwise you would just do that and skip the middle man).

Even if you do all of this, you still might have a hard time finding someone to trade with, because there are simply not as many of the cards in circulation, and way too many sitting permanently in collections.

Hmmm well I find this all very interesting. I will have to try again and do a relatively small trade to Canada and see if any of this works out better than it has in the past. I ALWAYS go to the PO in person and I have asked if there was a cheaper way to do it, but I guess they didn't want to tell me about it or didn't know.

So... who wants to do a trade?

Any trade offers today?

Daft, ditto to the above. Take a look at my list, I don't have very much big stuff but if there are small things you want there are small things from your list that I wouldn't mind picking up. I also need to swap my marsh flats for an arid mesa if we can tack that onto a trade.
