I wasn't trying to say that you weren't communicating as it looks like you are. I just like to stress the importance of communication in general.

Yes, 2 weeks from the date the trade is accepted to the day it should have arrived at your door. Like I said before, I feel your pain with the pace of this trade as I've dealt with it many times myself. Has your trade partner dropped the ball in getting this trade out? Absolutely. Has he broken any rules? Not yet. As of today he hasn't done anything to warrant negative feedback according to the Deckbox rules.

I completely agree with you when you say that people who don't have enough time to make a run to the post office (or even print a shipping label off of paypal) probably shouldn't be trading.

One other question, did you need the cards from this trade for an event or something?

Having played against modern Merfolk myself I can say with certainty that Thassa is very good in this deck. The game usually goes something like this:

T1: land, Aether Vial
T2: vialed Cursecatcher, lord
T3: vialed Lord, active Thassa

The Scry 1 is extremely important for maximizing the quality of your draws. Aggro decks need to keep drawing threats to be relevant and Thassa helps with that quite a bit. My best friend pilots a fish deck which runs 2 Thassas and that seems to be a good number. I would not suggest running 4.

About Remand: My opinion is that you can run 4. I'm not saying for sure run 4, Mana Leak is a very good counter also, but if the game goes longer than 5 turns Leak becomes significantly less useful and is next to useless against Tron. Merfolk should be fast enough that if you counter just 1 spell that would mess you up that probably delayed your opponent long enough for you to swing for the win.

Side note: Put something to counter Ensnaring Bridge in your sideboard. Spell Pierce might be all you need.
2nd Side note: Twisted Image is amazing.

Looks like DB is using the card text instead of the oracle text. Search "You can't be the target of" and it will show up. I agree in that I think it would be better to use the oracle text.

If you change your mind and get interested in picking up a very competitive deck, I'm looking to sell my Uril, the Miststalker edh.

Decklist

The way I see you really have 3 options:
1) If you really like the "cheating" strategy then your most competitive option is an Instant Reanimator deck.
2) If your goal is just to get really big stuff out then Tron is even more competitive than Reanimator.
3) If you're looking for something a little more budget friendly, but less competitive, then my friend's mono-G ramp deck definitely fits the bill. It runs Arbor Elf and Overgrowth for huge early ramp into Tooth and Nail for 2 Primalcrux. You could make this more competitive by adding blue for countermagic or white for Path to Exile and such.

Here is the edition guide from ABUGames.

The two problem sets are Chronicles and Anthologies. Chronicles was a reprint set containing cards originally printed in The Dark, Legends, Arabian Nights, and Antiquities. The Chronicles versions of these cards are white bordered while the original versions are all black bordered. Both the original and reprint contain the original set symbol. Same applies to Anthologies which is all white bordered and contains reprints from about 20 different sets. Again, the original printings of these cards all black bordered while the reprints are white bordered.

I've been watching this thread since it started to get an idea of what other people would like and to formulate an opinion of my own. I personally don't have distinct sets of cards that never mix together so I wouldn't benefit as much as some others from multiple inventories. However, I can see the benefits that it would give to some users who have sets that they never want to mix with others and they will never want to trade. I personally would be benefitted the most by fre-eform tags attached to individual cards. In addittion it would be very nice to ihave the ability to include specific cards in decks.

So I guess from my perspective the best option would be to implement both free-form tags as well as multiple inventories. Just my 2 cents.

I had almost the exact same thing happen to me. No cards got lost, but the guy I was trading with's cards took an excessive amount of time to arrive. I left neutral because of the time and he left retaliatory neutral because I was "impatient." lol

Updated post. Now need 2 Blood Moon.

Or the people that leave neutral feedback just because they didn't like you or for no reason whatsoever.
