So my roommate challenged me to make a Ben-Ben EDH/Commander deck, and I'm starting the preliminary plan (http://deckbox.org/sets/478064). However, I'm having trouble solidifying my theme, and finding cards to help advance that theme. I'd love some help from those of you with a little more knowledge in this area. Some parameters:

1) My meta is pretty casual, but that doesn't mean I want the deck to suck. I occasionally play against some pretty intense decks, and I want to be able to keep pace, though I understand the theme doesn't lend itself to winning.
2) I build budget decks, so my total cost is usually under $200, and I don't generally like to purchase cards worth more than $15 unless they are extraordinarily good.
3) I want to actually use Ben-Ben. I don't want to just build a red deck with him there for color.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

I'm working on completing my deck list on a couple decks, as well as polishing up a few older ones. If you've got anything I'm looking for (or even if you don't, but you want something of mine) please send me a trade. I am also willing to work with cash, but I prefer to trade. I enjoy trading, even if it's for no other reason than to cycle some new cards through my collection. Here are my top priorities:

1x Beacon of Unrest
1x Blatant Thievery
1x Chainer, Dementia Master
1x Coffin Queen
1x Geth, Lord of the Vault
1x Helm of Possession
1x Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni
1x Mind Grind
1x Necromancy
1x Reanimate
1x Ritual of the Machine
1x Sygg, River Cutthroat
1x Altar or Dementia
4x Shard Volley
3x Smash to Smithereens
2x Lava Spike
1x Ball Lightning

Those are the ones I am most interested in getting, but everything on my wishlist is fair game. Stick mostly to my tradelist- I only trade from my inventory under special circumstances. Thanks for looking, and happy trading!

So I find myself two weeks away from an event I'd like to go to, and I am super short on cash. So I'm hoping to do a bit of fundraising through some excess Magic cards. I generally build budget decks, so if you're looking for cards worth over $30, that's not me. But I do have lots of very solid cards for their price, and lots of staples, especially for EDH. Here's my inventory (http://deckbox.org/sets/401381). What I've got is:

A total Inventory worth $1400
A huge binder full of either rares or commons and uncommons which see play
Boxes of commons and uncommons
6 EDH decks
3 Legacy Decks
3 Modern Decks
1 Standard Deck
Boxes, sleeves, and tokens to accompany them

Worthy of note are:

My Kaalia EDH deck (http://deckbox.org/sets/402865). This has been my primary EDH deck since I started playing, and I only have the lands left to upgrade before it's perfect smile. I am a little attached to it, but will part with it for a reasonable offer, since I know it's the most desirable of what I've got.
Doran, the Siege Tower EDH (http://deckbox.org/sets/402830). A very solid deck I've been tuning for a couple months. Read into it a little in the description; it's super fun to play.
Polymorph Legacy deck (http://deckbox.org/sets/416388). Based on using Mass Polymorph and Proteus Staff to pump up tokens into beatsticks, this is a very flavorful and fun deck to play. A work in progress (I haven't been able to afford stuff for what it deserves yet).
Rakdos budget Standard deck (http://deckbox.org/sets/413686). RB creature heavy aggro using Blood Scrivener to help finish games. I haven't been able to tune it to compete yet or build a sideboard, but it can normally hold its own as is.

Other decks can be found on my profile; all of my EDH decks can compete at a card shop level very well, not so much for some of my others, which were scrapped together. Anything in my inventory is for sale besides the Olivia Voldaren EDH deck, which is my wife's. I've also got a small collection of Lightning Bolts (about 15) and Raging Goblins (about 10). I should also mention that I have not entered my bulk red commons and uncommons into my inventory yet, since there are just too many. I have a TON of Goblins.
Now, I'd prefer to part with whole decks or at least the bulk of them in groups, but I won't be too picky. If you just want the non-budget portion of a deck, we can work something out. The more you want, the more agreeable I'll be on price. I'm no card shop, so I won't expect full price, but enough to make it worth my while- we're all sensible Magic players here. Now, I'm not looking to part with my entire inventory. But I'd really like to raise at least $200 through this and/or other methods. Everything helps.

Thank you so much for taking the time to look- I really do appreciate any serious offers, as I am in need of some money. Feel free to ask any questions about my collection or buying!

I think I'd like to keep Elspeth, unless I'm trading up.

Looking through my trades and such the other day, I realized that I've been trading into an awful lot for my decks lately, and my trade binder has suffered. I also realized that I've got 7 EDH decks, and I'd prefer that number to be 4 or 5. So I'd like to thin out my cards.

I've got 7 EDH decks total, and several 60 card decks from varying formats I'd be willing to part with. The only ones I won't trade in their entirety are my Kaalia EDH, Mass Polymorph Legacy, and Rakdos Standard decks, as they are the decks I'm working on and would at least mostly like to keep. That said, I may be willing to part with bits of them. I'm also willing to trade away parts of the others, but would like to kinda get rid of whole decks if possible.
What this means for you is that I've got entire decks pre-made and field tested. So you can buy/trade for one of what I've got and either get yourself into a new format, or introduce a friend in with a solid, budget deck. I do build mostly budget decks, since I keep so many around. If you're in my price range, they're great decks, and if you are in a higher price bracket, I can get you the building block of a solid deck. A deck doesn't always have to cost money to compete! I generally don't buy expensive lands for my decks, which keeps the costs low.
I'll highlight a couple of them:

Doran, the Siege Tower EDH (http://deckbox.org/sets/402830)
Based on building a wall from high toughness creatures which are threatening through Doran, letting you safely go for the win with alternate win conditions.

Nin, the Pain Artist EDH (http://deckbox.org/sets/403374)
Focused on supporting an aggressive red deck though massive card draw and board control from Tims.

Krenko, Mob Boss EDH (http://deckbox.org/sets/402029)
Krenko doing what he does best. I love this deck, but people in my playgroup have stopped playing against it because it wins so quickly and frequently smile

Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch EDH (http://deckbox.org/sets/402002)
This is my 'group slug' deck. In the true spirit of Rakdos, this deck spreads pain and hate all around. Super fun to play and very flavorful.

I'm specifically looking for things that are highly trade-able right now, everything from shock lands to format staples of most any format, on top of the stuff in my wishlist. So if you're looking to unload some bulk from your binder for stuff you can use, I'm your guy! I'd love to hear from you with offers!

Hey! Rather new to Deckbox, not to MTG or trading

I just opened some Modern Masters packs yesterday, got some things I want, but several I have no use for. On top of that, I have a trade binder full of stuff. Oh, and I am willing to trade some of the cards I have in decks if you have something I want more. Feel free to ask, I don't bite.

I'm looking for all the stuff I have on my tradelist, or anything I can use to fill in one of my decks. Specifically, I'm looking for EDH staples and cards for a BR standard deck I'm working on building. That said, I do lots of trades for stuff I'm not looking for if you want cards I don't. Trading is half the fun for me. I hope to hear from ya soon, and I look forward to trading with you!
