I've been thinking about making a Krenko based Goblin token deck as well, when I stumbled upon Voracious Dragon.  A must include if you ask me.

TCGPlayer has it as a low value around $15 for NM.  I'd probably go lower than that, maybe $12ish?  Negotiable, depending upon what I'm trading for.

I have a foil Gush from Mercadian Masques, which I just recently found out is actually banned in Legacy. big_smile 
Figured I'd throw it out there any way, in case you were interested, since I have no use for it.  smile

Unless something changed, right now all of the card listings come from Gatherer.  And sadly, Wizards doesn't usually add the new set to Gatherer until a day or two before the pre-release, so they will most likely be available between Thursday and the weekend at some point.

Pretty sure your problem is that it is a "Scaled" Wurm, not "Sealed".
It is right here, and 6th Edition is there.

A general idea about sideboard is that its usually best to only have cards that hate specific styles/strageties because if you just put cards you like that didnt make the cut youll never put them in, theyre just not as good, things like topor orb and grafdiggers cage are sideboard cards, or my favs surgical extractions smile

Yeah, I know the general idea, but without having played the deck, I don't know its weaknesses yet.  I have Witchbane Orb in there to hate on some things.  Grafdigger's Cage would only hurt this deck since it has a bunch of undying.  I added the Acidic Oozes to hate on artifact type decks and such.  etc. etc.

I definitely have a few things in there for hating, but not knowing entirely what to hate on means that I had some room for maneuvering and just added in some other things that I thought might add to the deck so I could try them out if I found them necessary.

If you'd like to take a look, here is the sideboard that I came up with quickly.  I'm terrible at sideboarding, and even worse at making a sideboard in the first place, so it probably sucks.

Additional spells to make use of all that sacrificing
2x Bone Splinters
2x Gnaw to the Bone
2x Grim Flowering

A few more creatures that add onto the theme and give me some advantages in other ways
1x Disciple of Bolas (Just because it didn't make the cut and I think it goes perfectly in this deck)
2x Solemn Simulacrum (The only card that isn't rotation safe)
2x Acidic Slime (Artifact/Enchantment removal, plus another sac target)

Some general protection against stuff in the meta
2x Witchbane Orb (Protect against Bonfire of the Damned, and other such threats)
2x Curse of Death's Hold


Oh yeah, and I substituted Birds of Paradise for the Arbor Elves for the time being, since they can block fliers and make black mana.

Yeah, I got the first three before the price hike.  This one I had to trade an arm and a leg for (and shipping body parts isn't cheap!), but it sets me up well to play some Golgari after rotation, so hopefully it is worth it.

Been trading for a bunch of cards, finally got my last Woodland Cemetery and Killing Wave in the mail, so I think I'm going to be taking this deck to FNM tonight.  Will report back later tonight on how everything went.

Although I just realized that we don't have a sideboard, so I'll have to come up with something.......

Actually that's not exactly what it says,  maybe the listing is a bit confusing and we need to clarify the table a bit. It says that the guy has 2 Absolute Law in his tradelist and you have 3 in your wishlist.

Hmmm..... yeah, then it is a little bit confusing, because I assumed that the "1" next to the the person's haves was how many they had.
So if the first number in the yellow column is how many the other person has, then what is the number in the blue column?

This looks like an interesting option. I had intended to just have a standar CSV parser for the textarea, and also a possibility to upload a CSV file. But I like your ideea of a smarter input with some "meta" lines in there. Will try some things over the weekend and I'll post back smile

I look forward to an update. smile

Look at the thread right below your thread. wink

If you go look at your profile, you'll see a section at the bottom labeled Trading Opportunities.
That section will show you a bunch of people that have cards you want and/or if you have cards that they want.

Here is mine:
http://i.imm.io/F1Sq.png

Right now mine is showing people from the Reddit MTG Trades group, I'm not sure what it shows if you aren't in any groups.  Either way, I suggest that you go join the group.  There are lots of helpful people there, and it provides a place to post any card requests that you happen to have.

Beyond that, it is just a matter of poking around.  Let me know if you have any other questions.  And welcome!

I like this option a lot and as a PHP developer I know that processing this would be easy if you read it line by line. It might not make it in the release, but this would be nice to have in a patch later.

Yeah, the coding definitely wouldn't be too difficult if they're doing all of their own inline parsing line by line, but I guess it depends upon how everything is setup.  If each CSV line is just passed into a Card constructor or factory and that is where all of the parsing is done, then that makes it a bit more difficult.  But I guess you could also just pass in a map of all currently overridden values and just take it from there.

Oh well, either way, I guess that decision and work is up to you guys sebi. big_smile

Wait one second...... I just noticed this........

http://i.imm.io/F1b3.png

Does this actually list how many of each card that you are getting in other trades, right alongside how many you want in total?!
Wow.  I am looking forward to this update more and more each day.


On an unrelated note about the multiple card import, would it be possible to add a "same as above" option.
For example, when RTR comes around I'm going to be importing a lot of cards, and it would be nice to not have to worry too much about the set, so being able to type something like this instead would be nice:

2, Acidic Slime, M13
3, Ajani's Sunstriker, "
1, Angelic Benediction, ", , , Foil

(Where the quote obviously means to copy the one above it)

Or, another possible option could be to have the ability to set a global value that would override all values under it, but I'm assuming that would be a lot more difficult and outside the scope of current work since you're probably just doing some standard CSV type parsing.  For example:

EDITION=M13
2, Acidic Slime
3, Ajani's Sunstriker
1, Angelic Benediction, , , , Foil

EDITION=M12
1, Acidic Slime
2, Aether Adept

Ugh, that really sucks.  Sorry to hear about losing your deck, especially one with some good (and expensive) cards.

I think I can probably help you out with some of it, and I'm actually only a few hours away from you, so I think it'll be pretty quick in the mail too.
I'll send a trade.

I'd be interested in anywhere from 2-4x of Jarad depending on what you want for them.

On eBay it looks like they've generally been going for $4-5 each, or $16-20 for a playset.  I'd say $4 each would be fine.  Feel free to open up a trade and we can talk more.

Hello everyone.  I happened upon a bunch of Izzet vs Golgari decks, so I have multiple playsets available for basically every card from the deck, including......


Life from the Loam
Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord
Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind
Eternal Witness
Isochron Scepter
Golgari Grave-Troll
Dissipate
Golgari Thug
Doomgape
Putrefy
Gelectrode
Djinn Illuminatus
Gleancrawler
Twilight's Call
Elves of Deep Shadow
Prophetic Bolt
Invoke the Firemind

etc, etc, etc.


Mainly looking to sell all of the above for around eBay average prices.  I might be willing to do partial trades as well, depending upon the offer.  Feel free to send me a trade if you're interested and we can work something out.

I don't know of any trade groups up there, but I grew up around there and I'm back in the area fairly often.

I'm in the process of (attempting to) catalog my entire collection, and it is grueling.  But this has brought up a lot of things that I would love to see added to the site.

Additional Filters
I would love to be able to filter my inventory (and other people's inventories) based upon the details of the cards in there.  For example, being able to see all of the foil cards that I have, or all of the promo cards that I have, or any foreign cards I have, etc.

Non-complete Card Details
As I'm cataloging everything, it is becoming harder and harder to know which cards I have and haven't put in details for.  And therefore, I'm not entirely sure if everything is cataloged.  So, it would be nice to be able to only show the cards in my inventory where the number of them that I own doesn't match the number of detailed listings associated with the card.

Filter on Owned cards, not Gatherer Card History
If I'm trying to look at the cards that I own from a particular set, possibly because I'm seeing what else I need to collect to complete the set, it would be nice to see JUST the cards I own from that set, rather than cards that happen to be in the set that I happen to own from a different set.

For example, here I'm searching for Angel's Mercy in M12, which I don't own any of, but it still shows up because I own some in M13 and AVR.
http://i.imm.io/EaGn.png

Although, this may be part of the new Inventory update coming in the next release.

Edit....
Sorting rarity within a set
If I sort by rarity within a set, it would be nice if only cards that were that rarity came up.  For instance, Ornithopter is an Uncommon in Mirrodin (and just about every other set, actually), but when I search for it like this, specifically stating that I only want commons from Mirrodin, it still shows up.
http://i.imm.io/Eb7j.png
I realize that this is probably because Gatherer lists the entire Ornithopter card as a Common, but I'm guessing you could probably do something about that.


I'm sure there was more, but that is all I recall at the moment.
Thanks for your time.
