Thank you! Red was the color I was most thinking of leaning into, and Animar is perfect! I didn't even know its ability. I'll add that to the old wishlist right now...

Topic: Morph EDH advice needed (6 replies, posted in Commander Trading)
These new morph cards have got me wanting to build a morph edh deck. Ixidor is the obvious general, but I think I want to include green. Kruphix struck me as a good choice, but I've got my fingers crossed for a new morph-related legend in an upcoming set. Anyway, your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Should I go for a different color combo? What kinds of cards or themes would interact really well with morph, but aren't immediately obivous? (Like All is Dust, but maybe that's obvious.)
Thanks!

Topic: Trade bug? (2 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
(sorry if this has already been addressed - I did try to search for it)
I had a little issue in a current trade - my trade partner thought he asked for 4 of something from me, but now that we have sent our cards, he noticed that only 2 were included (on the trading screen).
I believe him (and I'm sure we can resolve the trade in a friendly fashion), but only 2 were available in my tradelist, so here's my question: does the quantity automatically reduce to the amount available when a trade is proposed or accepted? I.e., perhaps 4 were entered, but it dropped down to the 2 I had available as soon as the trade was finalized?
If so, is there a warning that occurs?
Thanks for looking into this. As always, thanks for the amazing site!

I need a few unglued cards to complete the set. I have some other unglued cards for trade, but I'd also be up for trading "real" cards as well. Posting here because I'm sure lots of people don't even bother to list their unglued stuff. Thanks!

Re: Site-wide card pricing changes (197 replies, posted in Announcements)
Sorry for not saying anything new here, but I want to publicly voice my support for the Deckbox team.
True, this could be a very difficult transition. It is possible that Deckbox won't survive this (I certainly hope it does). But consider what we have been told: Deckbox was not going to survive the status quo, either. This is true of all businesses; you must change or die. And Deckbox is a business now. It took far too much work to continue being a hobby, or an avocation. While I have hoped for a different business model, I recognize that the Deckbox team is in possession of more information than I. More importantly, it is their choice to make.
Clearly, the makers and owners of Deckbox aspire to something greater. Not content with merely being the premiere trading and inventorying site, they want to be a marketplace with enough activity to establish valid price information. That is, a very large marketplace. They are taking a risk, but sometimes the greatest things come from the greatest risks.
To the Deckbox team: I applaud your courage and thank you for everything you have given us thus far. I wish you the best of luck. May you be successful in your endeavor!
To everyone else: if you love Deckbox, consider making it your first choice the next time you want to buy or sell a card. You will not find another site whose leadership will be more responsive to your concerns and wishes. The faster Deckbox can accumulate meaningful price data, the faster it will become the ultimate one-stop shop for your trading card needs.
Thank you,
-Tom

Re: Tolsimir suggestions wanted (4 replies, posted in Commander Trading)
I was just looking for ideas on how to make cuts. I started to remove a couple of enchantment-based cards, then I saw Ajani's Chosen and Heliod - now I'm going to try to make two versions. One where I cut enchantment stuff, and one where I try to cut everything that doesn't have great synergies. I'm determined to keep trying to maintain all three themes, I guess, even through I know dropping enchantments is a solid idea.

Re: Tolsimir suggestions wanted (4 replies, posted in Commander Trading)
Sound advice! I have to admit, I think you're right. I was really holding on to the idea that I could have it all, but enchantments as a theme isn't bringing much to the table. It's mostly just riding on the coat tails of the great enchantments I already have in the deck, without really doing much else. Thanks a lot! That'll probably help me cut 25.

Topic: Tolsimir suggestions wanted (4 replies, posted in Commander Trading)
I need help trimming 25 cards from my (Tolsimir deck.) http://deckbox.org/sets/530139
My idea is to feature all the main Selesnya synergies:
Tokens/anthem effects (weenies)
Enchantment synergies (enchantresses, ancestral mask, etc)
Loam stuff (knight of the reliquary, terravore...)
A LOT of the cards have positive interactions with each other, and I think I'll find more when I play it. The trouble is getting to 100. For instance, it might seem like I could choose Sylvan Library OR Abundance. But together, they let you draw 3 cards a turn! And it's hard even to cut junk like Zebra Unicorn, because one of my goals for this deck is to give some odder stuff a day in the sun.
If anyone feels like giving some suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Just note that I'm not worried about making the deck super-tuned or whatever.
Thanks!

Re: oona queen of the fae combos (6 replies, posted in Commander Trading)
Ah well, it depends on your playgroup. I strongly suspect it was banned because of grindstone, not because of oona 
. Personally, I ignore the banned list and just try to avoid playing like a jerk. But if you want play random people at your lgs, then I suppose you might want to play by "the rules."

Re: oona queen of the fae combos (6 replies, posted in Commander Trading)
Ashnod's altar and painter's servant would be pretty nice with oona. Stuff like braids, cabal minion or innocent blood would be pretty good, as you can just sac a token. Don't use grindstone if you use the servant, though- that would be kind of lame

Re: Trying to sell my entire collection locally (5 replies, posted in StLouis Traders)
You'd be surprised at how much you can fit into a large flat rate box ($17 shipping). Just an FYI, as you might be able to get a lot more than an extra $17 by offering this nationally.
Also, if you have any interest in selling boosters independently of your collection, I might be interested in a few
