I have a Boros and an Azorius deck built, waiting for preorder cards (except commons and uncommons, since I got a box too) to be completed. I didn't consider the new Elspeth for a second for either. For six mana I can have Aetherling or Aurelia, who are both likely to finish the game quicker than Elspeth SC. Heck, for just one mana more, I can use Angel of Serenity.

I'm looking for some older cards. Specifically I need the following commons and uncommons to finish a deck I'm working on. These need to be in English and the edition specified.
3 Blood Lust - Legends
1 Giant Growth Alpha preferred, but Beta would be ok. (Alpha just matches the other three I have on the way)
4 Juggernaut - Unlimited
1 Channel - Beta (I could also settle for Unlimited, but I don't want newer ones).
4 Ghazbán Ogre - Arabian Nights
3 Whirling Dervish - Legends
1 Strip Mine - Antiquities - Sky with Even Terraces (which is the same art as the 4th edition ones)
2 Fireball - Alpha or BetaAlso have lots of other things on my wish list, but these little cards are actually my higher priority wants at the moment. I'm also interested in shock lands and check lands.
Alright, sorry for taking so long. All I have extras of is the Beta Giant Growth
Thought I had a bunch of Ghazban Ogres and Blood Lusts, along with Juggernauts and an extra Unlimited Channel, but I guess not

Totally would make sense for me to have mapped a dozen packs over 6 sets. Thank you for your concern.
I don't think he was accusing you - he was probably just saying that if you have loose packs without stating where they came from, there's always a significant risk they were mapped before you even got them.

It's actually possible to import a CSV file into this site fairly easily. You just need to arrange the columns in the spreadsheet correctly and remove the ones that don't belong (and then obviously turn it into a CSV).

Sweet! I wonder if Dave and Adams still has part of my collection that I sold to them almost a year ago. One day, when the Sabres play on a Saturday i'll get out there for a FNM.
You might want to wait til the Sabres arent as painful to watch. You'll get more for you money when you drive up here
One of the better non-Avalanche hockey games I've been to was Sabres home opener in 2006 vs Canadiens. Also the only time I've seen fist fights in multiple places in a crowd.

Perhaps that's why some of us in this forum haven't reported any issues?
Greeting cards cost the extra 20¢. The post office even makes seasonal greeting card stamps (with lots of silly designs for different occasions)
Just go pick up some 20¢ stamps from the PO. Can you really not afford that? Why is it pricing that difficult to understand? It is what it is. Quit being cheap.
I went down to my local PO today with an envelope filled with a toploader with 3 cards. I asked if it was machinable. The lady working said yes, it wasn't too thick. All it needed was a regular stamp; this was coming directly from the post office employee. Why would you add extra postage to something. Not wasting money isn't the same thing as being cheap. I wouldn't go to the store and pay an extra 40% for my total bill, why would I do it with stamps?
No employee has ever told me that an envelope with a top loader in it is machinable - they always point out that it's too rigid and use their "Nonmachinable" stamp. I ended up buying 66 cent stamps because they suggested that it would be easier with how often I came in.
I've had to add 20 cents a total of 8 times in the last year or so, no big deal, but I pointed it out because it was starting to happen a little bit too often. I've only mentioned it to the trader the last couple of times I think (it's possible I said something one of the first times too), but probably should've said something every single time.

Seriously? I knew you couldn't use them for other stuff, but last time I used a Medium Priority Flat Rate box to send to Sweden, the manager at the post office said I'd be better off just buying one of their other (non-priority) boxes and sticking the flat rate box inside of it and shipping it, so I did, right in front of her - it saved me $20 in shipping.
Seems weird that she'd encourage that, even though I bought a box from them for $3 that way.

Yeah I have had them returned to me before, but that was because I wasn't putting on the extra 20 cents for non-machinable. I think I have sent a few that needed another 20 because they were over 1 oz, but they never were returned and none of my recipients ever said anything. But when I took in an envelope that had two top loaders it in (at least 4 cards) it weighed too much and I had to add another 20, according to the lady at the desk.
66 cents because it is non-machinable, 20 extra cents after the first oz.
This is correct.
Also, the reason it usually goes through is that they don't check a vast majority of the letters. The company I work for had some serious miscalculations in order weights for USPS shipments (in this case it didn't matter for UPS and FedEx), and it wasn't discovered until about a month after the faulty code had been deployed because USPS never checked what it actually weighed - but when they finally did, they sent all the mail from the previous day back.
I may or may not have been slightly at fault for said code :-/

It's at their discretion - the one I got today was too heavy, so they asked me (the recipient) for another 20 cents.

I got my 8th "Postage Due" envelope in the last year today, and as somebody who never has cash, getting the 20 cents necessary can be a pain in the rear.

I weigh mine at the post office and a regular stamp is fine for one toploader and 3 cards. For 2 top loaders it requires a 66. For more I use a bubble mailer.
One top loader and 3 cards requires 66 cents because it's technically non-machinable. Two top loaders is borderline 86...

Re: Does Anyone know or heard from LOLZ (19 replies, posted in Reddit MTG Trades)
I had a Snapcaster "disappear" when I shipped it to him. DC was never updated to "Delivered" so he claimed he never got it. Could've been true, could also have been not true... I never got it back, and had to send another one.
I got the cards from him two weeks after he marked them as sent, with a stamp on the envelope being from just two days earlier (I took a picture just in case I'd need it for proof of something).
So, I got the cards, but walked away with a really bad feeling from the whole thing.
Edit: Forgot to mention he added a Snapcaster to his inventory on the day after it was out for delivery. That's what made me suspicious.

If you call Customer Service and file a case they can put a tracer on it and when it shows up will call you and you can either have it sent to the original destination or back to you. This does take sometime tho cause when it happened to me, the card bounced around for month before I had any idea where it was. That being said, Ive noticed that insuring packages tends to get more attention from the PO bc when they are actually responsible to pay you back if they lose it, they actually update it accordingly.
Weird - I talked to them, and they said I just had to wait...

Mail Fraud:
A crime in which the perpetrator develops a scheme using the mails to defraud another of money or property. This crime specifically requires the intent to defraud, and is a federal offense governed by section 1341 of title 18 of the U.S. Code.
Talk to the other people he's trading with. It's a federal crime, and can land him in prison for 5 years. A friend of mine went to school with a kid who tried pulling a similar stunt (mail trade of items) and landed in prison for 4 years in Rawlins, Wyoming for his efforts.
Maybe let him know this too...

Re: Has anyone had any problems with LOLZ? (3 replies, posted in Reddit MTG Trades)
I got his cards and they're in great condition, but for some reason, my bubble mailer "bounced" and is supposedly coming back (according to the post office). I'm not sure what happened, because the address was right. It was out for delivery, then had "Delivery Status Not Updated," and six days later, it had "electronic shipping info received." Still waiting for it to come back so I can see WHY it bounced.
He was a bit slow with replying, and his cards took quite a while to arrive, but given that mine is in limbo (something that's never happened to me before :-/ ), it's obviously not like I'm the one who should complain.
