I feel bad for the people that are forced to buy at these shit prices. The stores around me have them at $165, $160, $200, and $220.

Yea the store I go too is going to sell theirs for 190 and even thats too much for me. As DTrain said, Im more interested in certain singles in it and Ill just have to wait til people open their boxes and put up what they did want from it.

Yup, happy to honor the price.  I got my box and a spare.  I know they're hard to get.  Deckbox has been wonderful to me and I'd love to spread the MM wealth since the second box isn't in my budget.

I wish it was in my budget hmm...

It refers to the total number of different cards in your inventory that does not count multiples.

For example, putting 4 copies of Lightning Bolt in from M10 means you have 1 distinct entry of Lightning bolt. That other number is just the total number of distinct entries.

What do you value the foil cradle at? I maybe willing to part with some of my foils pending

This doesnt really have anything to do with a offer really but I took a peak at your Azami deck and you have 2 Blue Sun Zeniths in there. I also would have thought you would want to run more Wizards

Where did you see the spoilers for the cards other than Goyf and Bob? as far as I know, the only things that have been comfirmed were Aether Spellbomb, City of Brass and recently Tooth and Nail.

EDIT: Nvm I found these possible spoilers.

I guess this set is what it is. Pretty much money in every pack.

Im  just going by what Im reading in on Forums. I think the issue was you didnt want to put the cheap enchantments on Geist that could on Invisible stalker because they could just clone and him and you lose it all. I think I dont know, I only ever play EDH so who knows what they are talking about lol..

Im not sure if I would say Renounce the Guilds is a EDH staple since it doesnt target and with so many decks being multicolored (including your own most likely) its not going to always hit what your looking to get rid of. If anything I would agree that it would be a staple in Mono White where you dont have to worry at all about losing something of yours.

Does that mean I can play a planeswalker's ability twice in a turn? For example, I have Garruk, Primal Hunter at loyalty 4 and I draw off the -3 thing. Then, I decide he's too weak so I cast another Garruk, Primal Hunter. Can my new one get a 3/3 Beast and become loyalty 4?

Yes. Its the same thing as if you decide to kill a planeswalker by using the last of his counters for an ability and then play another.

Yes, except you don't need to use all the loyalty counters, you can just kill them off at any point you've got a duplicate.  I think this is especially relevant for planeswalkers with high starting loyalty - like Karn Liberated in modern tron decks.

Should note that none of this goes into effect until M14 is released in mid/late July.  Between now and then, we've got modern masters.

May also be worth picking up some of the better legendary creatures, as Sigarda/Thrun may see even more eternal or EDH play, though goodness knows Geist is already everywhere.


I think with this taking affect Geist might end up getting banned in Modern

What would it cost to take her in? (What do you value her at, sorry it was my attempt at being clever)

Oh schucks...

Well cant blame a guy for trying roll

I'll part with my Academy Ruins if the deal includes your Foil Rugged Prairie. wink

Actinide runs that thread smile there's a link to it on the /r/MagicTCG sidebar

http://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/

your actually better off just going to the reddit sub edit each week and using the shortcut on the sidebar.
It's usually the most active during the beginning of the week and then kinda tapers off until next when they start a new thread

I dont really use the "condition" feature for cards in my wishlist to actually mean condition. If the card is marked as "NM" or the "star", it means I am actively looking hard for this card is a high Priority. If there isnt anything, there (just the Edition, Language and Type being Foil, Full-art ETC) then its all stuff I dont mind trading for at my leisure.

I set this up also as a kinda of test to see if people actually read my profile with that "considerations" I posted there. I cant say its 100% effective but since I took the time to spell it out, I have seen alot less bad trades being offered.

@ Paul_K- I completely agree...

Usually it is a lower priority for them and they want to keep the card they are trading for a higher priority item smile

I wish they would have included that kinda of feature to show priority or have people come up with universal system that everyone would learn and understand.

When I build a deck and I find cards I want to include but don't yet, that doesnt mean I want them all of sudden. For example. I want to build a Rasputin Dreamweaver EDH deck and use some of his free mana to cast a Sphinx's Rev. Since I dont have one, I put it on my wishlist as something to be on the look for but its not a huge deal cause I could happily use something else instead. Well What happens? I get 3-4 trade offers of my Snapcaster or Fetchland for it...

Wasn't there just one these threads not too long ago lol? Feels like Deja Vu...

Im sorry but the letters "H" and "I" are not that far spaced on a computer keyboard so there really isnt an excuse to not use what I consider to be the best tool of this entire site when discussing trades. Every other site, you have to send a PM and wait for response and then send another. Trades can take days just to set up. Being able to use the chatbox and actually discuss the trade in real time when your both online should make it easier not hard to make a trade.

Not only that but, It really makes me think twice about trading with that person in the future. Not that I wont trade with them but when they post a thread asking what they are looking for and I happen to have it for trade, Im more reluctant to trade with said person just out of spite and having to worry about talking to myself in the chatbox. I talk to myself alone enough in real life and just gets too annoying to deal with when there are plenty of other users I could trade with no problem.

Im going to lie, it annoys me to no end when this happens to me and the best is when a couple days later, that same person that cancelled the trade proposes another trade right back to me still not saying anything.

What are you missing for your EDH deck?

Ill bite too. I could use another for an EDH deck so I dont have to keep taking the FOIL one I have out of my cube...

I have both a Jarad (Golgari) and a Lazav (Dimir) decks you can take a look at for ideas.

TyWoo is def right about the Eldrazi so that makes a card like Sadistic Sacrament your all star. Hell if you make it to 15 mana (which actually shouldnt be that hard in EDH) its like a better mill card since it exiles them instead of puts them in the GY. However it also depends on your Commander too bc guess what happens when I mill someone's Ulamog or Kozliek with Lazav out? Lazav becomes a 10/10 Indestructible HEXPROOF ANNIHILATOR 4 (if you hit Ulamog) or 12/12 HEXPROOF ANNIHILATOR 4 (if you hit Koz)! Im pretty sure that win right there...

My Jarad deck is very Dredge/ Reanimator but the main point of the deck is to just sac fat creatures with Jarad to drain the table. Jarad + Lord of Extinction is usually enough to win the game .:rolleyes:
You definitly have a solid shell for Skullbriar so I would look more into what TyWoo said doing like a SkullBriar/Varolz type deck.

Im getting into modern. can someone explain the all the advantages of dark confidant? I just dont understand why losing the life to gain the card advantage is so good. SERIOUS REPLYS!

Think about this, how many cards do you know of that only let you draw an extra card a turn without you having to pay mana for? You start every game with 20 life and 0 mana. You obviously need mana to win games and if a card allows you to use one resource (life) to build up another (mana) thats why hes good. No he doesnt "ramp" but he makes sure you can dig alittle deep each turn to find more resources you wouldnt be able to reach sooner rather than later.

The main advantage is the fact that its also 2/1 body that also "draws" you a card that you dont have to invest mana into and allows you to still attack or block with. Life is really arbitrary in most decks that run Bob and often have a really low curve so most of the time you only losing a 2 life at most to draw an extra card a turn.

How dare you sell the foil Scalding Tarn I traded you! ( just kidding haha). I might be interested in the foil cradle if the OP isn't interested. What are you selling it for?

You should look into creating a BTR on the Deckbox forums / Bad trading reports.

That would depend on what "older goodies" your refering too smile
